hell fucken yea solstice solidarity. 

Funfax my birthday and name have some ridic hilarious levels of “chosen one” bullshittrey bc my name literally means “universe tree” in mandarin like. If I had to read about a girl named universe tree who was born on the darkest day of the year with a bloodline that traced back to an ancient 

Xiongnu prince I’d immediately start to not care

All hail the savior, for the prophecy has been fulfilled

please no my life is enough of a clusterfuck of tomfuckery enough without ancient destinies please let me hoard my swords and pens in peace

We have met…my antithesis…

In other words, this summer solstice baby said waddup

Legends tell of the 4 children of destiny, cardinal beacons who are to protect existence as it is understood. They are each born on their hallowday, with their armies pulled from the masses of the universe to the wombs of mortals destined to bear them. When they are of age, they shall ride with their armies into the shroud of battle, laying down the very spiritual effervescence they are blessed with on the line to keep the balance of the worlds steady.

And until that day comes I plan to stay in my fucking goblin cave with as many bags of doritos as goddamn possible.

for a quick change of pace–i know we’ve all seen a thousand posts about voting, but what i haven’t seen (not yet) is one saying thank you. 

thank you for those who made it out in the rain and the cold, who organized and canvassed and took on the onerous task of working with non-voting & conservative friends/family to change their stance if at least just this once. thank you for those who stood in line for hours, who had to travel because your voting place was moved, who had to jump through ridiculous fucking hoops to register, who weren’t inspired but showed up anyway for the disenfranchised and the greater good. thank you as well to everyone who voted early, absentee, and provisional. 

it mattered. 

Thank you.

The Kepler space telescope has shown us our galaxy is teeming with planets — and other surprises

The Kepler space telescope

has taught us there are so many planets out there, they outnumber even
the stars. Here is a sample of these wondrous, weird and unexpected worlds (and
other spectacular objects in space) that Kepler has spotted with its “eye” opened to the heavens.

Kepler has found that double sunsets
really do exist.

image

Yes, Star Wars fans, the double sunset on Tatooine could really exist.
Kepler discovered the first known planet around a double-star system, though

Kepler-16b is probably a gas giant without a solid surface.

Kepler has gotten us closer to finding
planets like Earth.

image

Nope. Kepler hasn’t found Earth 2.0, and that wasn’t the job it set out
to do. But in its survey of hundreds of thousands of stars, Kepler found planets
near in size to Earth orbiting at a distance where liquid water could pool on
the surface. One of them, Kepler-62f, is about 40 percent bigger than Earth and
is likely rocky. Is there life on any of them? We still have a lot more to
learn.

This sizzling world is so hot iron would
melt!

image

One of Kepler’s early discoveries was the small, scorched world of

Kepler-10b.

With a year that lasts less than an Earth day and density high enough to
imply it’s probably made of iron and rock, this “lava world” gave us the first
solid evidence of a rocky planet outside our solar system. 

If it’s not an alien megastructure, what
is this oddly fluctuating star?

image

When Kepler detected the oddly fluctuating light from

“Tabby’s
Star,”

the internet lit up with speculation of an alien
megastructure. Astronomers have concluded it’s probably an orbiting dust
cloud.  

Kepler caught this dead
star cannibalizing its planet.

image

What happens when a solar system dies? Kepler discovered a white dwarf,
the compact corpse of a star in the process of

vaporizing a
planet.


These Kepler planets are more than twice the age of our Sun!

image

The five small planets in Kepler-444

were born 11 billion years ago when our galaxy was in its youth. Imagine
what these ancient planets look like after all that time?

Kepler found a supernova exploding at
breakneck speed.

image

This premier planet hunter has also been watching stars explode. Kepler
recorded a sped-up version of a supernova called a

“fast-evolving
luminescent transit” that reached its peak brightness at breakneck
speed. It was caused by a star spewing out a dense shell of gas that lit up
when hit with the shockwave from the blast.

“My favorite line is actually one of Daniel’s, because my first days’ work – one of my first shots was walking away from Dumbledore’s desk, and I said to Chris Columbus, ‘Oh, I’d really love an exit line.’ And he said ‘Well, let’s go again, we’ll shoot something, just make something up.’ And we didn’t tell Daniel. And he was only, uh, waist high, and I turned around – unexpectedly – to him, and I said, uh, ‘Let us hope Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.’ And he looked up at me, and he puffed his chest out, and he said, ‘Don’t worry. I will be.’ Which is pretty impressive for a twelve year old. And he stayed that impressive ever since.” –Jason Isaacs.

Cats do this because its a hunting instinct to snap the neck of their prey.

*the more you know*

It’s a murderer instinct but holy shit it’s so cute.

Fun Fact: The little shaking move they do when they pick up toys in their mouths is the one for snapping necks.

This one’s actually for disemboweling. And it’s adorable.

The cutest murder machines ever.

House Cats: *do motions that are intended to kill, maim, and mutilate food, rivals, and predators*

Humans, shoving their faces directly into what would kill a smaller animal: hahahaha aren’t you adorable!
