yeah, it's all changed now, when my parents were growing up after the war you were lucky if you had one gender to share among the whole family, there was still rationing then mind you. If you were growing up somewhere rural like my mother there might not even be a gender in the whole village! Not really that long ago when you think about it...even when I was growing up in the eighties all my genders were hand me downs, I tell you something, kids these days don't know how good they've got it!!

There is trusting the laws of orbital mechanics on paper, and then there is strapping yourself into a maneuvering unit and wandering off from your ship 300 km above the surface of the Earth while moving at nearly 8 km/s.

McCandless spent one hour and 55 minutes untethered during this EVA, and the orbital period of the shuttle was just over 90 minutes. So unless I’m missing something, *Bruce McCandless completed a full orbit of Earth while disconnected from the shuttle*.

Strange week to have my name.

- I moved to Copenhagen, where every other company has "Dan" at the start of its name: Dan

A few winters ago, the city took one of those snowstorms that lasts a few days and the parks department had carved out the paths around the Tenney Park lagoon such that they looked like wide grooves in the white landscape. The lagoon, a shallow recess that takes overflow from Lake Mendota, ices over easily and solidly in the cold months and becomes one of the most active skating rinks in the city. I took a walk over there at dusk, following the cut paths as skaters glided just the other side of the white berm, and did so just in time to see the sun settle low out over the lake in such a way that everything white, which was EVERYthing, seemed to sparkle like some fantasyland. And just as I observed that singular moment of a kind of pure beauty that can never be recreated, my feet went out from under me and I fell square onto my back like a fucking cartoon. I lay there for a while, in nearly breathless anguish, wondering I could get up or if should dial 911 or if any of the skaters on the other side of the berm and seen me just swoop and disappear out of sight below the snow like a stupid puppet. Apparently none had, or, if they had, they didn't investigate to see if I was dead or dying, the dicks.

When I could breathe again, I creaked unsurely to my feet and made a vow that, from that day forward, all beautiful sunsets could kiss my ass, and, while I pissed blood the next day and could barely get out of bed for a few days more, I still think it is sad that no one saw that because, just at face value, it fucking HAD to have been hilarious.

#JohnMastodon takes a vacation to rural India once a year to spend weeks living among a herd of elephants.

@gpt @Gargron and his other followers find it difficult to run things without him, but John claims the simplifying effect of living among his adopted family is invaluable for his mental health.

We asked them "Why?"
They said "Because we can, because we know how to hate like no one else in this world. We will blame everything on you that we do ourselves." #russiaisateroriststate
