I like art that depicts women not posing seductively or gracefully but simply existing as human beings.

Celsius: ok, so what if we make a temperature measure scale based on the agitation state of water particles, y’know the base of life on Earth and one of the most common elements

Kelvin: great! My system will start with a temperature that can only be obtained at the end of the Universe

Fahrenheit: welcome back guys! Today I’m going to create a temperature measure system with stuff I forgot inside my fridge

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

'revolution II' (2023)

another piece inspired by the portuguese carnation revolution (go read about it it's dope!)

Carnation Revolution in Portugal The Carnation Revolution (Portuguese: Revolução dos Cravos), also referred to as the 25th of April (Portuguese: vinte e cinco de Abril), was initially a military coup in Lisbon, Portugal, on 25 April 1974 which overthrew the authoritarian regime of the Estado Novo.[1] The revolution started as a military coup organized by the Armed Forces Movement (Portuguese: Movimento das Forças Armadas, MFA) composed of military officers who opposed the regime, but the movement was soon coupled with an unanticipated and popular campaign of civil resistance. This movement would lead to the fall of the Estado Novo and the withdrawal of Portugal from its African colonies.

Y'all are amazing. Reblog to hug the person you’re reblogging from.

I cannot express how much I adore dappled shadows formed by sunlight in paintings and photography and in real life

They have no natural predators. They ARE the natural predators. 🗡️🐇
