When can I see the supermoon eclipse tomorrow night?

On Sunday night, people in parts of western Europe, western Africa, North America and all of South America will be able to see a lunar eclipse. And this one’s extra special, because the moon will be at its perigee – the closest it gets to Earth. Not only will the moon turn red (learn why it turns red here) it will seem larger than usual.

In the first GIF I’ve listed the times the moon will enter Earth’s faint shadow (the penumbra) and then its darker, red-tinted shadow. You can figure out exact times for your location using the U.S. Naval Observatory’s handy calculator. 

The second GIF shows the eclipse from another perspective - looking down on Earth’s north pole. This is to scale. It always surprises me to see how far apart the moon (the white dot) and earth (the blue circle) really are. The sun is off screen to the right, casting a long shadow. The colored lines radiating from earth show the approximate horizon lines in the four time zones. Once the lines pass, the moon is visible. Everyone in the contiguous US will be able to see the eclipse, but only people in the Easter and Central time zones will be able to see it start.

(If you want this information in song, some awesome sixth graders from Old High Middle School in Arkansas updated my eclipse song from last year. Or check out this completely original and funny song by Scarlett Simmons).

Look to the sky tomorrow night (9/27)! This won’t happen again until 2033.

Watch Much Ado About Nothing starring David Tennant and Catherine Tate. You'll probably hate me for the time taken (a couple hours), but I promise you'll thank me for the pure joy of watching this version.

What if it bites me and it dies?

that means you’re poisonous. jesus christ, nate, learn to read.

What if it bites itself and I die?

It’s voodoo.

What if it bites me and someone else dies?

That’s correlation, not causation.

what if we bite each other and neither of us die

that’s kinky

oh my god

this is still my favorite text post collaboration ever

I rarely reblog stuff like this, but this is so damn clever and hilarious.

Advanced Math Pickuplines

  • I’m proving the existence of love at nth sight by induction, and you’re my base case. 
  • Are you a ring theorist? Cause dat ass is a maximal ideal.
  • I could extend integrally and show you my going-down-property
  • “I believe you’ll find my Hardy-Littlewood quite maximal.”
  • Are you a compact set? Cause I’d love to get you under my finite covers
  • Is your contravariant hom-functor left exact? Cause I’d like to inject into you.
  • I wish I were the first N terms of your convergent Taylor polynomial expansion so I could get close to you.
  • Our love is like the topology on A and B {{},{A,B},{A}}: it’s not discrete, and everything else is trivial (down to homeomorphism).
  • I wanna simplify the square root of -u squared so u and i can be together.
  • I feel that you and I can’t be described as the union of two disjoint open sets whose complement is empty.
  • “My Cox-Zucker algorithm implementation is quite optimal.”
  • I’ve got an orthogonal non-linear operator that’d I’d love to integrate over your entire surface.
  • I think our Collatz Conjecture holds: wherever we start, we should end up being one.
  • You make me NP-hard, but I have an algorithm for you to approach me.
  • My legs are separable if you’re doing the splitting.
  • Hey babe, are you an inverse function? Because you make my natural log rise exponentially.
  • I’d do you like the squeeze theorem - that way I could take you to the limit and hit it from both ends.
  • Are you an equivalence relation on Cauchy sequences? Because you complete me!
  • Let’s make a bijective function and get one-to-one and onto.
  • You and I must be inverse logical functions. Because I could compliment you all day! 

Now i only need to find a cute math nerd to use them on. Any volunteers?

Social Security

This is the third time we've applied for SSD and the third time we've been denied in less than two weeks after submitting. Though we have chosen to appeal this time, it may turn out the same as the last, where, though we chose to appeal, we didn't have the $800 initial fee just to start the appeal process. Chronic Lyme Disease is a real thing and I'm just so frustrated of working so hard, and being a full time student, and also full time taking care of my home-stuck husband who can hardly open a bag of chips himself or remember his name all the time, but then having Social Security tell him "Nope, you don't qualify, you aren't sick, you can totally work." And not even LOOK at his medical records or the fact that he's been ill for 13 years because treatment is so expensive and we can't afford anything and just eating gluten free makes me cry every time I check out at the grocery store with food 3-4x the price of gluten containing food. Just urgh.

this is what heterophobia would look like if it was real. if you believe that heterophobia is a real thing that exists, please watch this because you will see that it simply doesn’t exist, that it never has and never will. 

tbh I think everyone should watch this anyway because it’s very clever and very powerful

wow, this was truly heartbreaking

i agree that everyone should watch this

this is phenomenal. completely and utterly terrfiying. All of my followers need to watch this. The whole thing. And think about if it was the other way around.

Heads up for self harm/suicide triggers!

Very well done! I hope it gets some people to think about how much hate they have in their hearts.
