An interesting model of our solar system’s path as it travels through space in the Milky Way.

Certainly a departure from usual models that show the Sun as a static object, which it certainly isn’t

I have been waiting for this picture to come back around for so long to show it to someone.

This is blowing my mind.

A very interesting astronomy model.

“

While every disabled person will have their own take on this for themselves, i am not “differently abled” and i kindly ask that you not insist on calling me that. It may seem like a trivial thing, but it’s not.

When you call me “differently abled” (in most cases this is regarding your perceptions and interpretations of my body), you are obscuring (however intentional or not) the reality that what is actually going on is in part just an ableist social construction made architectural: some people are actively ENabled to be part of their communities/ neighbourhoods/ spaces/ etc, and some of us are actively DISabled from doing so specifically because in general those who are ENabled to do so are the ones making the decisions about how and when and where the constructed environment is created and DISabled folks just have to suck it up because, yknow, ableism.

Building Radical Accessible Communities Everywhere, dis/diss/differently/abled by Sprinkles McGillicuddy (via fabianromero)

So much this. Also I personally don’t like “differently abled” for myself because I don’t feel like some sort of sparkle-pants special unicorn when I can’t do something because of pain and exhaustion, I feel DIS-abled. Like a train with its wheels removed and its engine empty of coal.

butter8: vegansanfrancishet: So, I paint my nails pretty regularly these days. I also work as a barista/cashier pretty regularly these days. A few weeks back, I had a customer come in, a fairly typical, sheltered, suburban soccer mom, and she ordered a latte from me. She saw my brightly colored nails and said, “Wow, you’re so brave! My son asked me about painting his nails, and if it’s okay for boys to do that. Now I’ll tell him there’s a cool guy who does it too!” It was a nice moment, very cute. Then, last week, she came in again, and said, “Hey, I’m so glad you’re here! I want you to meet someone!” She then brings her son forward, and says, “Okay sweetie, show him what you did!” And he throws his hands up, showing off his bright, sparkling blue nails. He shows them off, and I show mine off to him. He smiles. We fist bump. Guys, I’ve only wanted to cry once at work before, and that was when someone ordered a large dry soy cappuccino on ice. This time, though. This was a good cry. THIS MAKeS ME SO HAPPY I”M GONNA EXPLODE

Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious.

I just think it’s hilarious.

OH MY GOD

well this just made my childhood 1000% better

Oh wow this makes so much sense now. EVERYTHING FALLS INTO PLACE

Gonna rewatch Hook one day.

i wanna see this movie now

OMG YES.

…Now I need to rewatch this movie again.

Alternative Limb Project

Now this is awesome.

Just because you’ve lost a limb, that doesn’t mean you have to lose your style.

I love this so much. Particularly the first one, how it almost looks like an old porcelain piece.

(I still need to pimp out a cane or two like I keep planning to do.)

Different Sherlock portrayals as cats. Because I can.

House is the uncontrollable crazy cat.

Robert Downey Jr. cat is the flaunting type.

BBC Sherlock is the brooding cat.

Elementary Sherlock is the cuddly one.

Canon Sherlock is an awesome YouTube keyboard cat that Watson is always impressed by.
