At around 4pm ET yesterday, NASA’s most sophisticated rover yet, Perseverance, landed on Mars. It will spend at least one Mars year—687 Earth days—searching for signs of ancient life on the red planet.
It has a friend waiting: NASA’s Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars in 2012.

The landing of the six-wheeled vehicle marks the third visit to Mars in just over a week. Two spacecraft from the United Arab Emirates and China swung into orbit around the planet on successive days last week. (Bill Ingalls/NASA via AP).

i think it’s pretty miserable that it’s 2021, and jo’s line “i just think women, they have minds and souls as well as just hearts, they’ve got ambition and talent as well as just beauty and i’m so sick of people saying love is all a woman is fit for, but i’m so lonely” still resonates with women everywhere; that women still feel the need to prove that they are more than just pretty dresses, that they’re smart and thoughtful and witty and talented, and are afraid to want love because it’s seen as a weakness.
“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.”

“Y’see, I hate myself, but if any of you fuckers try to say anything negative about yourselves I will, personally, throw hands with your negative thoughts.”

When I tell you I nearly spit my drink out…
i think about this a lot
