i really wish five hours of sleep was sufficient because going to bed at 2 and waking up at 7 would be heaven but the body keeps score

My problem is that while I love waking up early, I also fucking hate going to bed early. It's unreasonable, 24 hours is simply not enough time to get everything done each day. I'm a busy man with plenty to do, I should be allowed to go to bed at 2 am and wake up at 5 am and get a solid 8 hours of sleep in the middle. Like why is that too much to ask.

Why, you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!

Somebody has to save our skins.

For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. STAR WARS: EMPIRE STRIKES BACK (1980) dir. Irvin Kershner

Confirmed: Summer 2023 Hottest in NASA’s Record

All three months of summer 2023 broke records. July 2023 was the hottest month ever recorded, and the hottest July. June 2023 was the hottest June, and August 2023 was the hottest August.

NASA’s temperature record, GISTEMP, starts in 1880, when consistent, modern recordkeeping became possible. Our record uses millions of measurements of surface temperature from weather stations, ships and ocean buoys, and Antarctic research stations. Other agencies and organizations who keep similar global temperature records find the same pattern of long-term warming.

Global temperatures are rising from increased emissions of greenhouse gasses, like carbon dioxide and methane. Over the last 200 years, humans have raised atmospheric CO2 by nearly 50%, primarily through the burning of fossil fuels.

Drivers of climate change, both natural and human-caused, leave distinct fingerprints. Through observations and modeling, NASA researchers confirm that the current warming is the result of human activities, particularly increased greenhouse gas emissions.

when i was a kid, i asked my dad where tatooine was and he told me “nevada” i believed him for, like, fifteen years. hey, look, i know this isn’t funny, but its one of those posts that are FOR ME. OKAY? [ID: Three panel comic of Luke and Leia. They’re walking through Tatooine, Leia peering over Luke’s shoulder as he directs them from a map. “We’re in Mos Eisley, north of us is the Carkoon Pit. East is Tusken Territory, and then to south is where I grew up. Way past that is Jabba’s, but you already knew that.” Leia asks, “What’s over those dunes?” Luke jerks a thumb over his shoulders to the Vegas Skyline sits among the sand, “Oh, that’s Las Vegas.” /END ID]

bonus:

Noooooo they retconned Star Wars Jizz

How have I somehow never noticed until now that after Leia angrily tells Han to stop using royal nicknames for her, he never once refers to her that way again. In both ESB and ROTJ. He actually respected her request omfg

'Senator Organa says she can only give us cover for so long.'

LEIA COVERING FOR HERA shut up that means everything to me

AHSOKA 1x05 (2023) | RETURN OF THE JEDI (1983)

look me in the eye and tell me this isn't one of the coolest shots in any star wars tv episode. and don't even get me started on when his voice overlapped with Vader's-

I dunno if anyone is reading the World Between Worlds sequence like I am, but as someone with PTSD its giving me so many feelings about the process of ‘recovering’ from war trauma.

How Anakin has being watching over her and seeing her become stagnant and sick and emotionless and pushing people who care away. Pushing away her identity and responsibility to train the future because of this weight on her. She’s just going through the motions of being a Jedi.

And as soon as he has an opportunity he intercepts her. He knows how she’s been doing. But she sees him and immediately starts deflecting and putting on a mask. Reverting back to a teen and giving a cocky little comment about successfully hitting him. And he’s like oh you’re so powerful and put together? Let’s shake it up then.

And then she’s right where she’s always been, but now it’s literal. Trapped in time in the war. Years and years have passed but she’s still that little girl. No matter what she does she can’t move past this point. She’s never been able to leave. She sees the wounded and dead clones like she always sees them, and she feels so much guilt.

But Spirit Anakin isn’t there to feed into that. He’s here to get her to wake up. So he teases her. Ahsoka gets angry. HOW can he be so callous? How can he not care? Doesn’t he realize this terrible thing happened? And Anakin basically responds with brutal honesty. What the fuck is me being serious going to change? It wont take away the mistakes. But they were mistakes. You didn’t cause harm deliberately.

But Ahsoka isn’t getting it. She’s so tired. She asks him, what if I don’t want to fight my guilt anymore? And he’s honest again. Then you’ll be dead. Fight it or die by it.

And then they’re on Mandalore. And Anakin tries again to get her to see she’s more than this terrible thing that happened. But she’s still stuck and not ready to listen. She turns the blame on him. And Anakin is like oh this is what it’s about? You want to give up because of me? You say you’re like this because of me? Fight what you think I am then. Why don’t you just let Vader kill you then. Fight or die.

And as Vader beats at her it finally clicks. She won’t let Vader win. She won’t let the terrible thing win. She wants to live! There still a spark of fight left in her.

And Anakin can finally let her go because he knows she’ll be alright.
