Clarifying poll Nr. 31

This might be a long shot but does anyone here RP Sense8? I’m only like halfway through Season 1 but I already wanna RP in this universe so badly. You’ve gotta be 18+ and willing to RP on Discord since that’s usually where I am.

Ideally I’m looking to RP Lito/Hernando (I play Lito), or Wolfgang/Felix (I play Wolfgang). I’m also open to RPing various interactions between the cluster, if you’d like. Hmu in DMs if you wanna RP.

The cast of Sense8 thanking the fans for bringing back the show and then there’s Brian.

sometimes a family is just...

1. a rogue ex-cop 

2. a traumatized DJ

3. a bus driver turned political hero

4. a polyamorous scientist 

5. a trans hacker

6. a diamond thief who punches real hard

7. a gay actor whos really in love with his professor bf 

8. and obvs a disgraced business woman out for blood

[lesbianlinguist]

Making my girlfriend watch sense8 bc it's my favourite show ever and in real time seeing it help her confront a lot of shame around her sexuality is kinda healing ngl

And we're also just enjoying this insane ride of a show together

Love sharing things I love with people I love <3

🍄 ACNH Mushroom Set 🍄

27 items | Sims 4, Base game compatible.

*The mushroom seat reminded me of Little Miss Muffet, so we're having a couple spiders with this set (also they could be useful for the Simstober challenge in a few months, which I get very excited about!)

The functional lamp in this set does not have edited vertex paint, because my vertex paintbrush is not working properly. If any creator out there wants to add it because they like the item and want to do that, please do, and please let me know. I would update the file with your fix and credits to you.

Use the scale up & down feature on your keyboard to make the items larger or smaller to your liking. If you have a non-US keyboard, it may be different keys depending on which alphabet it uses.

Always suggested: bb.objects ON, it makes placing items much easier. For further placement tweaking, check out the TOOL mod.

Set contains: -Basket (empty, with slots) | 8 swatches | 336 poly -Chair | 5 swatches each | 586 poly -Cluster Mushroom | 5 swatches | 2382 poly -Dining Table | 5 swatches | 1828 poly -Forest Flooring | 1 swatch | low poly -Forest Walls | 1 swatch | low poly -Jar of Mushrooms | 10 swatch | 3258 poly -Jar of Mushrooms (slotted) | 10 swatches | 3258 poly -Lamp (functional* see note above) | 10 swatches | 400 poly -Lamp (decor only) | 5 swatches | 1068 poly -Log Accent Table | 9 swatches | 1207 poly -Log Chair | 9 swatches | 1207 poly -Mushroom - Button | 1 swatch | 590 poly -Mushroom - Fairy | 12 swatches | 594 poly -Mushroom - Kasa | 12 swatches | 602 poly -Mushroom - Porcini | 1 swatch | 1538 poly -Mushroom - Truffle | 1 swatch | 414 poly -Nightstand | 5 swatches | 1828 poly -Owl Clock - tabletop version | 4 swatches | 1218 poly -Parasol | 5 swatches | 2350 poly -Tarantula | 11 swatches | 886 poly -Tarantula - wall | 11 swatches | 886 poly -Wallpaper | 1 swatch | low poly -Wicker Bag | 9 swatches | 600 poly -Wolf Spider | 3 swatches | 2018 poly -Wolf Spider - wall | 3 swatches | 2018 poly -Wreath | 2 swatches | 1200 poly

Type “animal crossing mushroom” into the search query in build mode to find  quickly. You can always find items like this, just begin typing  the title and it will appear.

As always, please let me know if you have any issues! Happy Simming! 💗

Update Aug 19th 2023: The wall tarantula has been remade and the file is now updated. If you are having an error pop up when you try to place the wall tarantula, just replace the old file with the new one!

When Z is for Mars Image Credit & Copyright: Tunc Tezel (TWAN)

Explanation: A composite of images captured about a week apart from mid August 2022 through late March 2023, this series traces the retrograde motion of ruddy-colored Mars. Progressing from lower right to upper left Mars makes a Z-shaped path as it wanders past the Pleiades and Hyades star clusters, through the constellation Taurus in planet Earth's night sky. Seen about every two years, Mars doesn't actually reverse the direction of its orbit to trace out the Z-shape though. Instead, the apparent backwards or retrograde motion with respect to the background stars is a reflection of the orbital motion of Earth itself. Retrograde motion can be seen each time Earth overtakes and laps planets orbiting farther from the Sun, the Earth moving more rapidly through its own relatively close-in orbit. High in northern hemisphere skies the Red Planet was opposite the Sun and at its closest and brightest on December 8, near the center of the frame. Seen close to Mars, a popular visitor to the inner Solar System, comet ZTF (C/2022 E3), was also captured on two dates, February 10 and February 16.

STS-8 Challenger's roll-out to launch pad

"The giant cluster of spaceflight hardware for NASA's eighth Space Transportation System (STS) mission begins its slow move to the launch pad at launch complex 39 at NASA's Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Following its mating to the two solid rocket boosters (SRB) and the external fuel tank (ET) in the huge vehicle assembly building (VAB), the space shuttle Challenger is slowly moved to the launch pad atop the mobile launch platform."

Date: August 1, 1983

NASA ID: S83-39238
