SHIT DID I SPOIL IT RIP

But honestly lmao it’s just from the like 50 second teaser, not sure if he’s dead yet!! Though people across the internet are terrified ;A; ~Admin 404

This map shows the geology of basins and craters on the Moon! I’ve shared the full-size map and open-source code here for anyone to use. If you like you can also buy a poster of the map here!

i feel like we don’t talk about things like this enough

*goes to bed for five years*

• Use the hand you write with.

• Make a fist with your thumb outside, not tucked inside. If it’s tucked inside your fist, when you punch someone, you might break your thumb. The thumb goes across your fingers, not on the side.

• Don’t be like in the movies—don’t aim for the face. Face punches don’t usually stop people, and you can miss when they duck their head or break your hand on their jaw. If you want to get away quickly, or end a fight, aim for the chest, or the ribs. If you really want to do some damage, e.g., you’re being attacked, aim for the throat, which will make it hard for your attacker to breathe for a hot minute.

• When you punch, you want to aim and hit with your first two knuckles. Not the flats of your fingers, and not your ring or pinky knuckles, which can break more easily. You can use your weight, if you’re on your feet, to add wallop, and spring into a punch with your feet and torso.

Remember the Women Who Made #Apollo50th Possible

As the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of the historic Moon landing, we remember some of the women whose hard work and ingenuity made it possible. The women featured here represent just a small fraction of the enormous contributions made by women during the Apollo era. 

Margaret Hamilton, Computer Programmer

Margaret Hamilton led the team that developed the building blocks of software engineering — a term that she coined herself. Her systems approach to the Apollo software development and insistence on rigorous testing was critical to the success of Apollo. In fact, the Apollo guidance software was so robust that no software bugs were found on any crewed Apollo missions, and it was adapted for use in Skylab, the Space Shuttle and the first digital fly-by-wire systems in aircraft.

In this photo, Hamilton stands next to a stack of Apollo Guidance Computer source code. As she noted, “There was no second chance. We all knew that.”

Katherine Johnson, Aerospace Technologist

As a very young girl, Katherine Johnson loved to count things. She counted everything, from the number of steps she took to get to the road to the number of forks and plates she washed when doing the dishes.

As an adult, Johnson became a “human computer” for the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which in 1958, became NASA. Her calculations were crucial to syncing Apollo’s Lunar Lander with the Moon-orbiting Command and Service Module. “I went to work every day for 33 years happy. Never did I get up and say I don’t want to go to work.“

Judy Sullivan, Biomedical Engineer

This fabulous flip belongs to biomedical engineer Judy Sullivan, who monitored the vital signs of the Apollo 11 astronauts throughout their spaceflight training via small sensors attached to their bodies. On July 16, 1969, she was the only woman in the suit lab as the team helped Neil Armstrong suit up for launch.

Sullivan appeared on the game show “To Tell the Truth,” in which a celebrity panel had to guess which of the female contestants was a biomedical engineer. Her choice to wear a short, ruffled skirt stumped everyone and won her a $500 prize. In this photo, Sullivan monitors a console during a training exercise for the first lunar landing mission.

Billie Robertson, Mathematician

Billie Robertson, pictured here in 1972 running a real-time go-no-go simulation for the Apollo 17 mission, originally intended to become a math teacher. Instead, she worked with the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, which later became rolled into NASA. She created the manual for running computer models that were used to simulate launches for the Apollo, Skylab and Apollo Soyuz Test Project programs. 

Robertson regularly visited local schools over the course of her career, empowering young women to pursue careers in STEM and aerospace.

Mary Jackson, Aeronautical Engineer

In 1958, Mary Jackson became NASA’s first African-American female engineer. Her engineering specialty was the extremely complex field of boundary layer effects on aerospace vehicles at supersonic speeds.

In the 1970s, Jackson helped the students at Hampton’s King Street Community center build their own wind tunnel and use it to conduct experiments. “We have to do something like this to get them interested in science,” she said for the local newspaper. “Sometimes they are not aware of the number of black scientists, and don’t even know of the career opportunities until it is too late.”

Ethel Heinecke Bauer, Aerospace Engineer

After watching the launch of Sputnik in October 1957, Ethel Heinecke Bauer changed her major to mathematics. Over her 32 years at NASA, she worked at two different centers in mathematics, aerospace engineering, development and more. 

Bauer planned the lunar trajectories for the Apollo program including the ‘free return’ trajectory which allowed for a safe return in the event of a systems failure  — a trajectory used on Apollo 13, as well as the first three Apollo flights to the Moon. In the above photo, Bauer works on trajectories with the help of an orbital model.

90s babies we’re getting old

okay, i got real fucked up last week and ordered a fuck ton of webkinz, which i thought was a mistake, until the first ones arrived and pud decided she absolutely fucking loved them

This 4th of July, celebrate the world you want to live in. Help reunite families by freeing imprisoned migrants held on bond.

On any given day in the U.S., there are over 55,000 people in immigration detention including children. Every day, community bond funds raise money to free our friends and neighbors from immigration detention and make sure they are able to work on their case from a place of freedom.

Your contribution to the 2019 Freedom Day Fund at the Community Justice Exchange will be distributed across the immigration bond funds of the National Bail Fund Network to help post bond for individuals in immigration detention.

For more information about the immigration bond funds of the National Bail Fund Network, go to bit.ly/localbailfunds.

Don't kill yourself, please.

If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to not go through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.

If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.

Heard some important information on Twitter today, and thought I’d post it here for anyone who may not have heard it. This is actually a thing, devised by human rights organisation called Karma Nirvana.

Reblog to save a life?

Let’s all take a moment and thank modern family for this

Welp, it’s finally happening and I’m not ready

The folks are getting a divorce- yay! Dad’s an abusive alcoholic, mom is good and deserves so much better. Problem is, my mom, brother and I are being forced to leave the property and getting cut off. I knew this would come but we were counting on actually having a plan and money saved up, but we don’t. This is very sudden and scary and on top of all the bad shit that’s happening I have to say good bye to my babies, my sweet angels that I love so much. I can’t even express how much my heart aches right now, I’m just not prepared for this at all.

We have over 50 chickens that we need to adopt out/sell. Once they’re safe we need to figure out a plan for 4 horses who are my mom’s whole world. She thinks she needs to sell them, but these guys are everything to her, they’re the reason she’s still here today. I have a friend nearby who may be able to take them until we’re on our feet and can find a place to have them, but I haven’t asked her yet. Like I said, this all happened the last two days. I’m so overwhelmed and stressed. After we get the horses taken care of, then we’re going to try and get help from local organizations (social services I guess?) to get out of here and find a cheap place.

I’m obviously keeping Rex, I don’t need to tell y’all how important she is, and she’s cheap and easy to keep. Tatem (fluffy chaos) is staying with me too because same deal. Together they cost all of $20 every 2-3 months which I can manage no problem. I should technically find a home for my snakey, Cornelius, but if I can keep him I will. I’m probably moving in with my friend in NYC for now.

My dear, amazing, absolutely wonderful friend @friedgeppetto is going to kindly take in my pidgies (Piper, Carrie, Peter, lil baby) and our very favorite chickens until we can find a place to have them! Send them love and thanks if you get a chance for being so good, it makes my heart fill up with warmth that they’re willing to help. The birds that are going to them are: my 6 modern games (Flint, Barbar, Killian, Letitia, Dwayne, Laylani), Hazel, Momo (Sweeney’s baby), Tomtom (Barbar niece), Kiki (I’d rather not but she’s bonded to the latter two), Max, Wade, Pansy, my mom’s 6 bantam babies (Butternut, Filbert, Tallow, Hickory, Praline, and Litchi), the weird little serama guy Ferguson, and Capers (Millet’s daughter). Buckley, Sweeney, and two elderly rescues we have will probably also be going to them but it’s iffy.

Some of the bird’s already have homes lines up like my bachelor silkie trio (they’re going to become breeders, they’re gonna be stoked). A friend is taking the two bantam americauna pullets, Dali and Dori. Many of my brother’s orloffs already have homes but not all.

So, here’s a list of all the chickies:

If you’re interested in any of them excluding the ones mentioned (or if you are interested in the ones mentioned I guess go for it and maybe you’d be a good match) dm me on discord (Quail#8005) or email me at rexandquail@gmail.com

We live in upstate NY and are now very limited on money so shipping is only possible if the other party pays for the cost, meeting up is subject to what we can afford in fuel. I’ll do my best.

I’ll be posting a full list of all the birds and their information, I just gotta get up to date pictures.

So yeah, life’s falling apart. I’m hurting so much I’m numb. But at least we’re getting out of here…right?

Attention people who don’t have horses:

Sorry to break in with this on a very much Sherlock-only kind of blog- I promise not to make a regular thing of this, but this is something that’s happened TWICE now. 

This is Beyli. He’s a two-month old foal and he’s adorable. He belongs to a friend of the family. 

So adorable, in fact, that a member of the public spent a nice afternoon feeding him. You feed the ducks and that’s ok. right? It’s a nice thing to do. 

They fed him turnip. He choked and gave himself a stomachache as a result.

The problem is that horses can’t really burp and horses can’t vomit. Their digestive systems are fine-tuned and when they go wrong, they go really wrong. Colic in horses is difficult to treat and in Beyli’s case, like many others, proved to be insurmountable. With pain medicine not working, after 4 hours of doing their best with no improvement, the vet called time on his suffering rather than let him go on to a very slow and painful end. 

A horse needlessly suffered and died because someone fed him the wrong thing. They weren’t necessarily malicious, they were just hugely ignorant. And worse, they were hugely entitled. There were already signs asking people not to feed the animals. As I said, this has now happened TWICE to the same family, and they’re by no means alone. 

PLEASE Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you. 

Horses can have disorders, diabetes, allergies and dietry requirements and you have NO IDEA if what you’re giving them is acceptable or not. Even ‘safe’ things like carrot and apple could be ‘wrong’ for this particular horse. Grass clippings? Not okay. Grain? Not okay for a horse that hasn’t been regularly eating it. 

Don’t assume. i have seen walkers pull up random plants and offer them over the fence INCLUDING TOXIC, DEADLY weeds like ragwort. I’ve seen horses offered dog-biscuits and bread. I’ve heard of horses being regularly fed by strangers thinking they were being under-fed, when the horse in question was on a vet-given diet to control weight and other conditions. 

Don’t feed horses that don’t belong to you even little treats and things like sugar cubes because it gives them bad manners. They start biting and harassing people. It’s bad for their teeth and too much sugar is terrible for them.

In some places if the owner has liability insurance, if you can be identified, YOU will be legally responsible for the vet’s bills. And if you’re thinking ‘well, they’d never identify me’, then that’s besides the point. 

Please. You wouldn’t feed someone’s dog without asking, I hope. You definitely wouldn’t feed someone else’s child. 

TL;DR: Don’t feed other people’s horses. You can make them SERIOUSLY ill. Treat animals in fields like animals at the zoo: you’re welcome to look, but don’t meddle with their care. 

PLEASE DON’T FEED OTHER PEOPLE’S HORSES.
