Science is Cool

This photograph shows us the other side of the Moon, which we usually do not see. It was captured by the Chinese Chang’e 5-T1 spacecraft.

Humans are exploring space, and frankly at this point I don’t care which flag it happens under…

Today’s Ambient Soundtrack from Loscil

Top (L-R): Plume, Sea Island, Submers – Bottom (L-R): First Narrows, Endless Falls, Scenes From New Brighton

I stumbled upon Loscil when we were still living in Denver via some Sunday evening radio program on KUVO’s second or third online stream. I love it for when I’m working and trying to concentrate, but ironically, I find it’s also the perfect falling-asleep music. I crawl into bed, put in earbuds in, and I’m out.

Women: [Picking up stones] Feeling happier already.

EDITORIAL NOTE: We must burn the patriarchy. Burn it to the ground. Burn it, gather the ashes, piss on them, douse them in kerosene, set them on fire again. Burn the patriarchy, then drive a stake directly through the ashes where its black heart used to be. Set fire to the stake. Keep burning it, over and over. Burn it for generations. Nuke it from orbit. Then find a good book, some chocolates, and a cozy chair. Maybe with a cat.
