Bold of you to assume this blog has any coherent theme and isn't just stream of consciousness at this point. But come say hi in my ask box!

fucks me up that by total coincidence the sun and moon's size difference is exactly matched to their difference in distance from us, thus making our beautiful total solar eclipses where you can see the silver threads of the sun's corona possible because the moon just covers the sun completely

The stars (literally) aligned just right for this experience to be possible. It's likely that aliens don't have this

The moon is also absolutely gargantuan by moon standards. It isn't the largest moon in the solar system, but it is BY FAR the largest in comparison with its planet. Ganymede is the largest satellite of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system. Its diameter is only about 3.8% of Jupiter's. Titan's radius is 4.4% of Saturn's. Callisto and Io are the next largest in the neighborhood, with 3.4% and 2.6% the diameter of Jupiter respectively.

Our moon is number 5. It is smaller in direct comparison to the above moons. The diameter of the moon is 3475 km. That is a full 27% of the diameter of the Earth. More than a quarter. That's ridiculous. It's unheard of. The universe is large enough that the word unique probably doesn't mean a lot, but this might be about as close as you get.

This has had a huge impact on our planet. Other things aliens might not have are significant tides. One of Mars's dumpy little potatoes wouldn't be able to move oceans the way our moon does.

Our moon has also stabilized our axis to a massive degree. Without her up there our axis would wobble all over the place and our climate would be far more chaotic. Aliens might not be quite so lucky.

I guess what I am really trying to say is that the moon is extremely cool. I like the moon.

the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

you also have to provide a henchmans disdainful scowl at whoever the driver is flipping off in the target parking lot

other assorted roles may include

  • retrieval team for objects in the backseat
  • custodian of the parking garage tickets
  • "All clear my way"
  • en-route dining concierge
  • announcing "Horses!" when there are horses

When I was a teen, we had a cat (well we had multiple cats but this story is only concerned with one of them) that was a long haired calico named Whiskey. Whiskey wasn't named after the drink, but rather, she was named that for how she whisked about. Anyway, she was The Most Beautiful Cat Ever ™️. Seriously, she was stunningly beautiful. If the internet had been a thing then, she would have been famous and worshipped by all (as she deserved). The thing was, she knew it. She knew she was gorgeous, she knew we all knew it, and she had a praise kink a mile wide. The cat was vain. Well, this was also in the days before spot on flea repellents and she was an indoor/outdoor cat, so my mom had to put a flea collar on her. As soon as it was put on her she started to pout. And when I say pout, I mean that this cat went into a depressive funk that bordered on suicidal. She would sit at the top of the stairs, between the railings and stare down at the floor below, as if she were considering jumping. She would walk into the living room, throw a sad glance at us over her shoulder, as she went and sit before the cold hearth, with her head hanging, staring into the darkness of the fireplace. And she would stay like that for an hour. None of this was normal behavior for her and it started as soon as the collar was put on her. Well after several days of this, my mom caved and removed the collar. The cat was her usual extravagantly vivacious self again immediately. But we were still faced with the problem of what to do about the very real potential of fleas. I had a crazy idea. I had some of those cheap mardi gras bead necklaces and dug through and found one that was purple, graduated, faceted beads that I cut down to collar length. I then showed Whiskey the gorgeous necklace I had gotten for her, I let her sniff it, I told her how perfect it would look on her, really playing it up. Then I asked if she would like to wear it and fit it around her neck. She didn't fight or run or squirm or anything, she held perfectly still with her head up and let me fasten it around her neck. Then the entire family proceeded to tell her how beautiful she looked in her new necklace. We were ridiculous but she ate it up! She LOVED the attention. After about a week of this, the beaded necklace had started to get tangled in her fur, so we had to remove it. When we did, we showed her a new flea collar and told her it was her new necklace and how lovely it would look on her and she not only let us put it on her, but she then proceeded to prance about and show it off to everyone. We all gushed about how beautiful she was. Flea collars were never a problem for her again. Anyway, cats are self-aware, lavish them with the praise they deserve. But they aren't terribly smart about everything, so be clever about what needs to be done and they'll go along with it happily.

Damn all this wholesomeness on a post about trans girls who like to walk their boyfriends around like dogs

If there’s one thing I love more than a cat being ridiculous it’s a cat pretending that said ridiculousness never happened, what are you laughing at, I am a creature of infinite grace and elegance how dare you suggest otherwise.

...Either that or short-term memory loss kicked in.
