NASA's mission to Jupiter's moon Europa launches successfully
Tumblr media
A NASA spacecraft embarked on a mission on Monday to explore Jupiter's intriguing moon. Europa, in hopes of uncovering whether its vast hidden ocean might offer clues to the existence of life.
Europa Clipper will take 5 1/2 years to reach Jupiter, where it will enter orbit around the gas giant and conduct dozens of flybys of Europa, braving intense radiation.
Scientists are confident that a deep global ocean lies beneath Europa's icy shell. With water often considered a key to life, Europa is regarded as one of the most promising places in the search for extraterrestrial life.
The Europa Clipper isn't designed to detect life directly. Instead, it will focus on identifying the building blocks essential for life, such as organic compounds, and look beneath the ice for conditions that could support life.

THINGS I WOULD USE THE MERCS AS A BODY DOUBLE FOR
offense: there’s only three places i’m taking these absolute muppets, and i’m absolutely lumping them all together because these three cannot be trusted otherwise. i’m either taking them to the dmv, to jump someone, or a self service car wash. they are all so off putting in their own ways that i will feel better about being awkward and slightly loud, and maybe their antics will mask the strained small talk i am making with the dmv worker who does Not Want To Be There. i can get them to help me wash my car, if i’m nice enough and maybe promise lunch, and i can trust these three to get rowdy. and if things get too rowdy, frankly they’re the only three i trust with the body. if only because they’ll get their prints on it over mine.
demo: i’d take demo out with me when i go to restaurants alone. very specifically restaurants and not the bar. he can pay his own way, he’d get a couple of drinks, so i would feel better about getting drinks, he wouldn’t make comments about my food choices, and if i didn’t want to talk i don’t think he’d force me. he’d probably also cover an appetizer, which is awesome. it’s a low financial strain, and we both get food out of it. and maybe company if i’m feeling social enough.
heavy: i’d take heavy to the doctor’s or the dentist’s. i’d very specifically take heavy. heavy would know the basic questions to ask without confusing me, as medicine usually does, but he will not blindly trust the medical staff either. he is calm, which is great because hospitals make me anxious. he can follow a regiment, and i would be okay and heal on time, if not faster. i feel like he is best prepped for post care, without it going off track. i can trust him for that.
engineer: i’m not gonna do the copout. i’d take engie to work. he will be relaxed, and remind me that it’s service with a smile. not even for the clients, but because it’ll make me feel better. he can laugh as i get frustrated, and eventually i’ll laugh too. also would be good at managing my time. he could make my days go by faster if he took a look at the schedule. then we can go to the bar after work and bitch hardcore. the work days go by quickly, and the off days seem to crawl. he makes it better.
medic: technically, the doctor goes with me everywhere because i think about him all the time. and that’s not a joke. i mentally materialize him everywhere with me, he’s the devil on my shoulder and the pistol on my hip. but i’d physically take him grocery shopping. we can be goofy in the aisles. he’d go with me at three in the morning. we’d mispronounce foods on purpose and cackle from sleep deprivation. i’d probably get foods i would’ve never picked otherwise. and he’s a hell of a coupon clipper.
sniper: snipes can go anywhere outside with me. on a walk, to the park, on a road trip. he will be most comfortable outside, or in his vehicle. i am usually most comfortable outside, or in my vehicle. we will get along in that sense. i can absolutely guarantee that sniper will usually not want to speak to me, and that’s not to mean anything offensive to me. we will just never have anything we want to talk about so bad that we would want to disturb the silence. we’re having a good time though.
spy: i’m taking spy to the bar. we might play a game or two of pool, and will probably end up scamming people on the table. except i actually just suck, so spy will split the profits 75/25. which is fair! we will have exactly two and a half drinks, sit on the patio, toke our respective smokes, not speak or look at each other at all, and then leave. spy will bring a magazine to flip through. i will be buried in my phone. we will look like a couple on thin ice, or strangers who decided to sit way too close. neither one of us will tell the other, but we do enjoy the time together. there’s worse ways to spend an evening.

𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 | 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐥 𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬
summary: as enid flips through magazines and you complain about your skincare troubles, she tosses you a page that states "using boyfriends sperm is better than any skincare" and you decide to try it out with carl
Tumblr media
carl grimes x fem!reader
cw: dick sucking, cum sitting on face, ball squeezing, etc etc
word count: 1k
request: Ok so i just saw a Video where a Girl Was using his Boyfriends Cum for Skincare,then i had a idea. So like Yn complains to Enid that she hates that she cant find Skincare anywhere ( Zombie Apocalypse) and then enid throws Yn a Magazine in her Face and it says something like "Boyfriends Sperm is better than any Skincare" and then Yn ask Carl and yk smut🤪🤪🤪
Tumblr media
you scrape the dirt under your nails as the unexpected pain runs through your body and you recoil back onto enids bed
"fuck! I forgot how sharp my nails have gotten" you mumble to the girl who's on the floor of the bed, but she just throws a nail clipper behind her back as it lands on the mountain of plush blankets
"thanks..." you mumble, expecting this normal girls' day would consist of a lot more than her ignoring you as you stumble around
"so, what were you saying?" her voice rips you out of your whining and you roll onto your stomach, putting your nails out in front of your face as you line the metal clipper with them before hearing a satisfying snap
"I know the world ended..." you jokingly start and she feeds you with a snort
"but I'm really pissed about my face wash" you confessed, another snap coming from your clippers as you move to the next hand
"what's wrong with it?"
"there's nothing to be wrong with it. it's just an empty bottle" you giggle as you clip the last nail before folding it and sitting up, you tap it against enids shoulder and your eyes move to the paper spread out on her legs
"Top ten skincare tricks of 2010?" you snort as she turns around, grabbing the forgotten clipper as you stare stars into the magazine she's gripping
you assumed she's been reading one of her comics this whole time, not pages with possible answers to your all your problems!
paper smacking your nose brought you back as the magazine slid down your face, cover on display as it lays on her fleece bed
"Boyfriends Sperm is better than any Skincare?" you gape, the model on the cover who's on her knees while a white liquid spurts onto her face. this wasn't a skincare magazine...this was a fucking porno
"Enid! what the hell!" you fall back, laughing as she nonchalantly grabs the magazine back, flipping to the page she was already at
"yeah, and I heard it's true" "from where? the fucking walkers?" you say in between your laughs
"it lists the benefits here, if you ever want to try with carl" she tosses it at you with the familiar page screaming at you
"ok, ok, Top ten Skincare Tricks of 2010..." you bit your knuckle to stop your laughing as you begin the list
"use boyfriend's sperm for...baby soft skin-" you couldn't stop your laughing as enid joins, again, snatching the magazine from you when your grip on it looked a little too tight
"don't rip this shit!" she says between her giggles, stomach aching from laughing as you sit up
"whatever, I'm using the hand soap instead of that, any day"
Tumblr media
that entire conversation rings in your head as carl kisses down your neck in the shower, his hands traveling down your body as the boiling water meets with your skin
his dick rutting into your thigh softly as he begs for friction, your hands move down as your grip it with ease. his cock stood tall as veins shot out at his pearly tip gleamed with pre
you moved down, knees meeting with the wet tile as you squeezed your legs together, feeling your wetness run down your thigh as your cunt ached
"Carl..." you started, you looked up at him as you stroked his cock,
"do you think you can give me a facial?" you ask, you watch as his brows furrowed and face reddening, dick twitching in your hands at the thought of shooting his cum on your face
"w-what I-" "I read somewhere it's really beneficial for my skin" you spoke as you took him in, lips wrapped around his cock as the plush walls of your warm mouth sucked him in
"fuck" his head fell back onto the tile as your head bobbed, his fingers wrapped around your hair, not to guide you, just to encourage what a mess you're already making of him
your hand reached over to cup one of his balls squeezing softly as he squirms from the touch
"fuck! where did you- learn this!" Page 89 you internally snort to yourself as he endlessly moaned, you felt his cock twitch in your throat as you removed him from your mouth, jerking him above your face as you look up at him
once you heard the words "I'm cumming!" leave his mouth you closed your eyes as his warm cum squirted on your pretty face, baby batter spreading on your features as you knelt there with a cum-soaked face
you felt his fingers soothingly rub on your cheeks, collecting his own semen but he didn't mind as he asked you "do you want me to wash this off?"
"they said to wait as least 3 minutes"
"what?" "what."
Tumblr media
an: wow I love this request! this was so fun to write and made my day! thank you so much for requesting this!! ❤︎ ilysm <33

Because I miss them and I need to get my muse going
@bardic-tales @youflickedtooharddamnit @tragiclyhip @secretaryunpaid @watermeezer
@ninjasawakenedmystar @kmc1989 @asirensrage @residentdormouse @mrsmungus
@alisbackalleybbq @karimac
He watches her as she tidies up the bedside table. Busily clearing away the remnants of that afternoon’s cafeteria-purchased lunch, the scissors, comb and nail clippers that she’d used to ‘tidy him up,’ followed by one many magazines she’d purchased the evening before at the gift shop. And the pen and pad she’d procured in order to let him doodle and scribble; a simple exercise for fine motor skills that wouldn’t take too much thought or strength and wouldn’t tire him out. At times resorting to providing ‘hand over hand’ support; when his movements became fluid and precise and needed a bit more control.
The admiration runs deep. And constant. This tiny, incredible woman that had been dropped into his life and showed no desire to leave. Her dark hair thrown up into a messy bun; loose tendrils brushing against the nape of her neck and dangling down the sides of her face. That petite frame clad in a jumpsuit; one of many outfits Nik had brought her within the past month alone. The shade of orange sorbet; the simple, smooth cotton boasting white and yellow pinstripes. And with no makeup gracing her features, he can clearly see the freckles that decorate the bridge of her nose and spread onto the tops of her cheeks. Making her look years younger.
“You’re beautiful.”
A slight blush creeps into her cheeks as a smile curves her lips. “I look like shit. But I appreciate you trying to boost my confidence.”
“You couldn’t look like shit even if you tried.”
Her smile broadens. “Those meds they have you on must be really good. You’re hallucinating.”
“I am completely lucid.”
“So you’re biased, then.”
“Just take a compliment, would ya?”
“Thank you. I still think you’re biased, though.”
“Maybe I am. Just a little bit. Doesn’t make it less true, though.”
Holding up a styrofoam cup of ice water, she raises a brow and waves it in his direction. When he shakes his head, she returns it to the table and once more sits on the edge of the bed. Regarding him with adoration as she reaches out to push the hair off his forehead and out of his eyes before once more taking one of his hands in both of hers.
“I’m sorry.”
She trails a fingertip along the scar that graces the bridge of his nose. “For what?”
“I got a little shitty. With you. I don’t mean to get that way. Especially with you.”
“I think you’re entitled to your less than sun-shiney moments. I mean, you were shot more than half a dozen times, you were clinically dead, spent six months in a coma, and you have a tube in your dick so that you can go to the bathroom. I think you’ve earned your right to be ‘a little shitty’ from time to time.”
“I don’t mean to get grumpy. Not with you, anyway.”
“Tyler, let’s be totally honest here. You were grumpy long before any of this ever happened.”
“I really will have you kicked out of here.”
“Bullshit, you will. You’d miss me way too much.”

scans: Time magazine, October 22, 1945
World War 2 had ended a month and a half earlier and now everyone was trying to figure out what they were supposed to be doing in peacetime. (The advertisements still include a line saying “Buy War Bonds” at the bottom.) Let’s take a jaunt through this exciting time, where Time had a lot of political statements to make because so much was going on right then.
Tumblr media
Czechoslovakia started in 1918. ceased existance under the Nazis in 1939 but Beneš maintained a government-in-exile, was restarted in 1945 once the war ended, and ceased existance for good in 1989.
Tumblr media
That’s right, we bombed Hiroshima because they had ball bearings. This is one of three advertisements by bearing makers.
Tumblr media
That time the Daughters of the American Revolution were unsurprisingly racist, and President Truman called them Nazis... but then his wife Bess had tea with the DAR, which pissed off Scott’s husband, US Representative Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.  Scott got the last laugh when Representative Powell booked Carnegie Hall for her and the show was a huge success.
Tumblr media
I will post the entire article soon. Some people are reading too much into the character and not doing enough reading of the comic strip itself. (Also, he claims that Wonder Woman is both a Nazi and a whore. Clearly Ong has a thing for either the soft-heroes of Marvel or the horror comics from Entertaining.)
Tumblr media
You’ve got to move to Memphis, that’s what I’ll do... There’s also a full-page ad for moving to Cleveland. “75 million customers within 500 miles!”
Tumblr media
“Experts agree that Shirley [Temple] has a good many years ahead -- either in or out of the movies.” Mostly out since she did 8 more films over the next two(!!) years then mostly bowed out of Hollywood. Also, remember that in the 1940s, premarital sex was taboo so the premise of Temple’s character getting knocked up by her boyfriend was scandalous. Marriage at 17, as she had done, was not.
Tumblr media
This guy.
Tumblr media
A two-page spread for magnesium. A decade later, the rave would be aluminum, and that particular metal is still with us.
Tumblr media
Heil (thppt!) Heil (thppt!) right in the Fuhrer’s face. The Nuremberg trials started on November 20 so things were going to stay interesting for a year.
Tumblr media
I’ve asked the purists: Aralac fiber, derived from the casein in milk -- “wool made from cheese” -- makes the clothing vegetarian but not vegan, and no cattle died to make that outfit.
Tumblr media
Lastly: You’ll have to click over to my typewriter blog to see the clunky post-war typewriter Smith-Corona was advertising (an Army office model), when what they really put on the market once they had unshelved all the parts they had stockpiled prior to the war (to make rifle firing pins for a spell) were some really stylish and handsome Silents, Sterlings, and Clippers.
