Taikonaut-kaskara - Afrofuturist Grim Reaper 我在学汉语

Almost done reading The Rise of Kyoshi and I've really loved it so far. Being a lover of ATLAs world seeing it further expanded on and especially learning more about the history of the four nations (mostly the earth nation in this book) is enough to keep me reading on their own, but the characters are also all very good. I think Kyoshi herself has quickly become my favorite character in this seriws and watching her work through her lack of self-worth and fear among other things was hella engaging. Her character has totally pulled me in, not to mention she's just cool as FUCK (and a lil silly). Also, this lesbian romance is life changing.

Top Study Tips from NASA

Study smarter this school year! We asked scientists, engineers, astronauts, and experts from across NASA about their favorite study tips – and they delivered. Here are a few of our favorites:

Study with friends

Find friends that are like-minded and work together to understand the material better. Trading ideas with a friend on how to tackle a problem can help you both strengthen your understanding.

Create a study environment

Find a quiet space or put on headphones so you can focus. You might not be able to get to the International Space Station yet, but a library, a study room, or a spot outside can be a good place to study. If it’s noisy around you, try using headphones to block out distractions.

Take breaks

Don’t burn yourself out! Take a break, go for a walk, get some water, and come back to it.

Kissinger.

US bombs dropped on Laos, 1964-1973. [Map published in article: Rosita Boland. "Death from below in the world's most bombed country." The Irish Times. 13 May 2017. Though map first uploaded on Redd/it by Andrew Gloe, as u/AJgloe, 12 September 2016.]

US bombs dropped, 1965-1972. [Map and animation by: Ha Pham. "Vietnam bombing history with data - Part 1." Medium. 4 November 2018.]

Laos. From 1964 to 1975, the US dropped over 2 million tons of bombs, equating to over 250 million bombs/ordinances. By some estimates, this averages as: full plane load of bombs dropped on Laos every 8 minutes, 24 hours a day, for 9 years. After the official end of the US military campaigns, US bombs on the ground continued to kill dozens of people every year for decades; the bombs still maim today, as over 80 million unexploded bombs/munitions still remain on the ground in Laos.

Cambodia. Kissinger was architect of the "Secret War", which the US president initially tried to hide from the public. Beginning in 1969, the US dropped over 2 and a half million tons of bombs at over 112,000 sites; over 11,000 sites were bombed indiscriminately. Most estimates suggest that US bombing of Cambodia directly resulted in hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths. On 17 March 1969, when the president's office received news of the first bombings in Cambodia, Nixon's chief of staff wrote in his diary: "Historic day K's [Kissinger's] 'Operation Breakfast' finally came off at 2:00 pm our time. K really excited, as is P [President]." The next day he added: "K's 'Operation Breakfast' a great success. He came beaming in [...]."

Testament up at 3AM getting a glass of water

Finally doing my Back hair series. I’m posting the first part, cornrows, to get a feel for if this may appeal to an audience. So, if you like it, let me know! Let me know which hairstyle you’d like to see covered next, or if you want to make a comment or revision. Reblog, send an ask, however you decide.

Baylan Skoll is one of the best Star Wars characters in a long time, I'm very much one of those people that has only really been able to get enjoyment out of Andor and TLJ as far as live action sW goes these days, but there are some things I've really been enjoying about Ahsoka. First of all, the choreography is actually GOOD. It feels like there's a different rhythm to each battle due to various fighting styles being shown, we see guard switches in tense standoffs like with Ahsoka vs Baylan and its dope and reminds me of this series' kurosawa roots. Baylan is super interesting and I love how the mercenaries bounce off our main two chars. And I am Shin Hati's strongest soldier just on account of her being really cool I love and support evil women
