Red Planet, Blue sunset?

Mars has always been an interesting planet to us earthlings. The possibility of life, rovers leaving no stone unturned(literally), it’s demanding reddish appearance and now those breathtaking sunsets.Mesmerizing isn’t it ? But,
Why are martian sunsets blue?
Here on earth, sunsets are bright with Yellow, Orange and Red colors dazzling in the sky. During sunsets, the light from the sun has to travel a longer distance in our atmosphere to reach the earth.
Consequently, all the blue and violet light is scattered( thrown in various directions) by the particles in our atmosphere leaving behind only shades of yellow, orange and red, which is what you see. This phenomenon is known as Rayleigh scattering.
On mars, the reverse effect occurs. The martian dust is smaller and more abundant than on earth and it incidentally happens to be just the right size that it absorbs the blue light whilst scattering the red ones across the sky. This makes martian sunsets blue :).

BOND is a tiny touch module. It can be a pendant or a bracelet but it comes in pairs. You keep one and you give one to a friend. When you touch it, your friend feels it. No matter where they are on the planet. We don’t do tweets, we do tickles.
we need this
gonna put it on my dick
THAT IS NOT THE INTENDED USE SIR
This is actually so cool because some people wear bracelets and necklaces and things as comfort items. I used to wear a necklace from my grandma to remind me of her and I would touch the pendant on it when I was feeling down or stressed. So imagine (if she were still alive), every time I did that she would know I was thinking of her, drawing strength from her.
And then imagine poking it and the other person feels it and pokes back and you end up in a real life facebook poke war.
I would send messages in morse code
magine you and your best friend have one. When the friend dies, he/she is buried with the bracelet. A couple weeks later, you feel someone touch your wrist.
Well this escalated from cool tech to perverted hilarity to something heartfelt then finally something out a creepypasta

And that’s tumblr in a nutshell.
Each post eventually gets the four corners:
The science side
the pervert side
The shipping side
The horror side

a girl bullied me in middle school for being “annoying and a spazz” (read: autistic). she’s going into psychology now.
a girl bullied me in middle school because i was shy and awkward and easy to take advantage of. she’s now a mentor in the link program that matches up allistic students with autistic students to be their mentor.
a girl bullied me in high school for my comprehension issues, poor social skills, impulsiveness and inability to understand social cues (all autism symptoms). later that year she did a project on autism and talked about how ~*~honored~*~ she would feel if an autistic person wanted to be friends.
allistic people talk so much about how cute and endearing autistic people are but the moment they meet an actual autistic person they’re like “what the FUCK is that?”
