AAH thank you so much! 🫶

And a few, yes! He is also such an interesting character and I enjoy drawing the design I made for him! I have a few scythe memes I would like to draw including him so I hope to get those done some time in the near future ✨💙

Wait what's that bit about Goddard? I live in Roswell and he's a Big Deal here, high school named after him, statue, etc. Did he steal Malina's glory???

So what I would say about this is that Goddard didn't specifically set out to steal Malina's glory himself. Goddard was a talented engineer and rocketeer in his own right. The main issue came from the government of the day. For the American government at the time, having Frank Malina and people like Jack Parsons (oh god) be associated with rocketry when they were suspected communists and deviants was a bad look. Goddard gets a lot of the credit for the early days of American rocketry because he was reasonably squeaky clean, and fit with the social narrative the government wanted at the time - ie. All American hero creates brave new technology and you can be just like him. Goddard's rockets did also fly to heights of 2.5km above sea level - he did have successes. The main issue here is that, in reality, Malina was just incredibly talented and his WAC Corporal rocket worked first time, launching an object to 73km above sea level - and he was Goddard's contemporary. Had he, and many of the talents at the JPL, not been accosted by the FBI America may very well have led the Soviets from the very start of the space race. Unfortunately it's very hard to teach little Timmy 1950s American values when the cool rocket man who put America into space is a communist who is friends with a kinky sex magik cultist. It's a shame really - given that attitude just perpetuates the same mistakes.

Rue de Siam m'a convaincue que ce livre pourrait être pour moi.

Cher(e) voyageur(e), Si vous me suivez depuis un petit moment, vous devez savoir que j’aime la photographie. J’aime être derrière un objectif prendre des photographies de rue déserte ou de ville en effervescence et de plus en plus des portraits _ ce sont des personnes de mon entourage dont je ne publie pas les photos_.

Life is capricious, you realize.

It does not always allow us to be reasonable.

he gets typecast i fear

[aortashit]

be

here's a hard pill to swallow: you will NEVER become what you want, you will only become what you ARE

why? bec you never actually desired a material thing, u desired being the self who has it & thro becoming the one who has it, u will feel such experience

u don't want the money cus even if u got the money as ur current self, it wouldn't last bec u don't identify with being rich

what u actually desire is becoming the self who has it & no worries cus self can be changed thro acceptance

accept that you are know rich & the feeling (knowing, conviction, relief,...) will follow, & even if that feeling lasts for a split of a second, that's fine that feeling can be accessed again thro acceptance of the new self

so will u ever be (not get) what you want? only if who you want to be is who you are right now

the choice is urs to make
