anyone else remember being 13 on tumblr and every morning youd scroll down until you got to posts from the night before like it was the morning paper
*take these with a grain of salt, I’m not like, a scientist I just think space is rad and enjoy researching it.
- the earth is actually an oblate spheroid, which basically means it’s a sphere but ever so slightly squished at the middle, so the equator is a little bigger than the poles.
- the moon is drifting away from earth at a rate of 1-2 inches a year, but it’s tidal pole slows the earth down by two milliseconds per century, so there’ll it’ll take earth like, a month to make a full rotation.
- The universe isn’t spinning. Probably.
- 10 billion years ago there were these things called quasars (quasi-steller objects) that were like superrrr massive black holes (several billion times the mass of the sun!!) that were surrounded by these gaseous accretion disks that would fall into the black hole and cause energy to get spat out in the form of electro-magnetic radiation. The amount of energy that got spat out of these things was insane you guys, like, look it up, seriously, you won’t regret it.
i love it so much <33

Text: I want you to know about… Autistic Shutdown
Autistic shutdown is like an internalized meltdown. While the person is experiencing a lot of emotions, they can’t express them outwardly.
It may look like this:
Zoning out
Exhaustion/falling asleep
Hiding/defensive position
How can allistic (non-autistic) folks help?
Safety first! Help them to a quiet space w minimal simuli
Be sensory sensible! Have a kit tailored to their need (eg ear defenders, stuffie or squishy and blanket)
Eliminate all expectations/demands. They are currently overloaded.
Reduce interaction, giving them time and space (shh..)
Remember:
Autistic shut-down is NOT stubborness, laziness or disrespect
Autistic shut-down IS involuntary, painful, exhausting Please be patient and compassionate.

Let me present a concept: What We Do in the Shadows style mockumentary of the Mechanisms crew eg.
Toy Soldier: Ok! So I wanted to have a quick conversation about ship responsibilities because, uh, chums, I think that we’re not pulling our weight here… We’re not just pointing the finger at you, Jonny. You’re a jolly good bloke but you’re not pulling your weight on the Aurora.
Jonny: Well, I’m glad to hear that I’m jolly good.
Ashes: Thats not the point Jonny. The point is that chore wheel has had your name on DISHES FOR FIVE FUCKING YEARS!!!!!! Do your goddamn dishes dishes or I will burn everything in your bunk … again.
or
Rafaela: When you become a mechanism, you become very… sexy [gestures to herself]
and my personal favorite
Nastya: Just leave me here to do my dark bidding on the cybernet! [what are you bidding on?] I’m bidding on a table.
drink tea you’ve never tried, reread your favorite book, get up to watch the sunrise, write a letter, listen to the birds, knit a bad sweater, bake an ugly cake, sing at the top of your lungs, jump crazily to some music. feel, really feel life without any restrictions, no matter the size.
a lot of TERFs speak like they’re giving a speech in a movie. One time one of them referred to me & my “brethren”, which they then had to clarify meant trans people and their supporters. I still think about that and laugh sometimes. “you and your brethren” fedgyejgfjhdgsjhksa like what are we, viking warriors?
What's the most aesthetic thing in space?
Lots of things!!!!!!!!!!! 3 of my favs are gas planets, planet rings and nebulae!!!!!!!
Nebula are giant clouds of hydrogen, helium and other elements!!!! they can also be star nurseries where baby stars are born!! They often looks like people, animals or eyes!!!!!!
This is a pic of Saturn’s rings in UV light taken by NASA’s spacecraft Cassini!!!!
THIS is a close up pic of Jupiter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (a gas planet) I want to tuch it
