15 billion miles away and NASA was able to tweak code packages on one of the onboard computers and it worked and Voyager 1 is sending signals back to earth for the first time since November.
Incredible!
My friend sent me this and I can’t stop laughing. Exposive president. And the two tower being shot badges. LMFAOOOO
Btw you can only change your name like every six months in splatoon so you have to really commit to joke names

[Image Description: Tweet from @alonesoul sent August 13, 2019 that reads “do you ever wanna just sit face to face with someone who did you dirty and have a deep talk with them as to why they did what they did?” and two replies from Juniper Jones / @motherjuniper sent August 14, 2019 that read “My therapist says it’s not healthy to be wondering what’s going through the minds of grown people who you can’t think for. You’ll literally drive yourself mad
“If you can’t rationalize why someone hurt you it’s because you’re not like them and that should be your closure”

help
So this showed up on Twitter and
And here’s that link you’re welcome
“if I cant have my dignity, at least I have something to read” <- put this on my tombstone
PLEASE for the love of the universe read anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy written from marginalized perspectives. Y’all (you know who you are) are killing me. To see people praise books about empire written exclusively by white women and then turn around and say you don’t know who Octavia Butler is or that you haven’t read any NK Jemisin or that Babel was too heavy-handed just kills me! I’m not saying you HAVE to enjoy specific books but there is such an obvious pattern here
Some of y’all love marginalized stories but you don’t give a fuck about marginalized creators and characters, and it shows. Like damn
If anyone has any recommendations give them to me please!
Gladly! The pieces on this list aren’t limited to specifically anti-colonial science fiction and fantasy, but they do center related and relevant topics, themes, etc.
Severely underhyped books of assorted speculative genres:
Read widely. Read diversely. People of the Caucasian persuasion need to stop getting pissy when the story doesn’t immediately center them and they don’t automatically relate to everything the character says and does and is. Just let yourself get swept in the story—even if it touches on (gasp!) racism—and maybe, just maybe, it’ll reveal something to you.
Or maybe not! Marginalized sff authors do not have to and should not have to educate their readers. But if I see one more white person complain about how Black characters are fundamentally annoying because they complain too much I’m going to fling myself into the sun
Thanks for coming to my ted talk I didn’t want to do it but here I am
Don't forget Aliette de Bodard! Especially her Xuya and Dominion of the Fallen series.
Zen Cho is my other favorite - Sorcerer to the Crown and The True Queen, and also Black Water Sister.
I’ve discovered many lovely authors via the Levar Burton Reads podcast! If you want free short stories read to you by a WONDERFUL professional you NEED to listen to his podcast. He reads everything from the classic hitters to the rising stars!
I hear the words "bichon frise" and my brain spends an uncountably long moment frantically overturning every memory I have, desperately trying to remember what foreign luxury car brand I have to pretend to care about in order for this conversation to go favorably. After my every mote of knowledge about cars has been thoroughly ransacked and I am on the verge of failing this social interaction, a smudged sticky note flutters into view that simply says "small white dog."
bitch on fries? that lil white thang?
The very same.
I'm gonna link to the animations in case y'all either don't remember or have never heard of some of these.
A quick note: these were made in the 2000s. Comedy is subjective, there's some strong examples of dark and/or "lolz teh random" humor in these. Maybe some cultural blindness, too. That said, enjoy a time capsule of stuff made before/during the birth of Youtube, now hosted on Youtube.
A snake story, based on an experience I had while I was in Florida.
i love links awakening, i love marin, i love this scene, i love paper craft, i love photoshop. i love zelda. (has anyone noticed yet?)
SO I drew a thing.
the original pic is actually obscenely detailed and high res but tumblr gets tiny squished jpeg versions so yay
(kinda a companion piece to this one.)
tada
I am still obsessed with the fact that the warrior of light canonically carries up to 2000 smartphones on their person at any given time and uses them like money to pay for stuff
