One more poem from Andrew Sullivan's now discontinued blog: "When I was 17, this poem by Carl Sandburg helped me through a difficult time (leaving behind my best friends and my first love); it also inaugurated my love for poetry. Its effect for me has something to do with the way it begins so gently and ends on a note of defiance:" Troths Yellow dust on a bumble bee’s wing, Grey lights in a woman’s asking eyes, Red ruins in the changing sunset embers: I take you and pile high the memories. Death will break her claws on some I keep.

oh hey Parkes Radio Observatory is the subject of The Dish which I saw quite a while ago but I remember being a pretty good film! I'd recommend it to anyone looking for stuff in the vein of Apollo 13

how are you gonna be 31 and posting fandom content bro leave it to the teenagers

People 10 and 20 years older than me are writing your favorite fanfics, and drawing your favorite characters. You'd have no fandom without the people you think are 'too old' to have hobbies.

For those who are interested, there is a really good Australian film about the Moon Landing, called The Dish.

I recommend looking it up and watching it one Moon Day. I love it. It talks about the problems that were had on the ground – mostly in Australia, where the pictures were received and relayed, but it does also talk about what went on in America, too.

It also serves as a reminder that when it comes to human life and dangerous, daring feats that technology seems barely advanced enough to handle, the Earth should be united.

"What is NASA? It's just a bigger version of Us."

"This should be in the contract: We promise to support the Moon Mission."

"This is science's chance to be daring."

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.

"My favorite question to ask consulting firm candidates was, "what was your favorite course in college?" Most, uncharacteristically, would stammer. They had no favorite course. They were at an Ivy to prove they could work hard, not to enjoy learning. Many even acted like it was simply an unfair question--one they had not been given a chance to prepare for. They were not "robots", but that description wasn't completely inaccurate either. So we end up governed by coldly calculating elites that lack creativity, curiosity and humanity."

Just remembered, as I was cooking some potato, about that time I went on holidays at my (now ex) girlfriend's grandma and met her whole family on this side.

All of them, the uncles, the aunts, the cousins of all age and gender, all of them told me about the legendary mashed potato that the grandma does. How good it is, how they can't reproduce it, and how the grandma has never told the recipe to anyone ever. A mystery, a secret she's going to take to the grave!

And like, it's a very good mashed potato. The recipe is simple, you boil some big potato, then you mash them with salt, pepper, herbes de Provence (a mix used almost everywhere in the south of france made of rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil, chervil, tarragon, bay leaf, fennel, marjoram, sage, and wild thyme), a good chunk of butter and a dollop of olive oil.

I know because she was very happy to show me how it's done when I, alone, went to help her in the kitchen (:

horror movies are so much scarier when the actors look like an average sampling of the human population. and the house is a little messy
