Its pretty incredible how accurate the science of astrophysics has gotten. New Horizons actually arrived 72 seconds early after travelling for almost 10 years straight to its destination.
Hello! The person who calculated the arrival time of New Horizons was Yanping Guo, mission design leader and one of the women who made up 25% of the New Horizons team. She configured the entire mission trajectory, including Jupiter and Pluto flybys.
Women’s contribution to the sciences has a long history of being erased, so let’s not forget the women who made New Horizons possible!

how long has ford been back in gravity falls. why hasnt he fixed his glasses yet
there was this theory floating around that he could be blind on that eye (which is pretty far fetched i know; he’s probably just too much of a busy nerd to even notice ;u;) but i really like the thought of bill doing that to ford while he was still able to possess him whenever he wanted -
but IMAGINE THO - stan one day comments about the broken glasses and ford explains but brushes it off, “i don’t need new glasses, there’s much more important things to attend, oh look its a sea serpent !!”
and then stan buys him a monocle … FORD WITH A MONOCLE
Yoooooo okay I realized something. So we know that shopkeepers can’t be attacked. It isn’t a game function; it’s literally not possible.
When you threaten Gerson, you get:
Shopkeepers/NPCs that sell items are invulnerable to attack due to an in-universe rule that you can’t initiate a fight with anyone who is actively selling something. I say actively because technically you have the option to sell items all the time at different shops (although not every shopkeeper will agree to buy), but monsters will still attack you and bosses can still pull you into a fight. If you’re smart, like Gerson, you can use this weird mechanic to keep yourself safe and alive. You can avoid hostile encounters, and thus damage/death, by becoming a peddler.
And who do we know in this game that a) has dangerously low HP, b) keeps a tight lid on powers that could otherwise be used to protect themselves, and c) is constantly found selling things?
Sans is literally keeping himself alive by selling random stuff.
In a 43-part tweetstorm on Tuesday, Doucette recounted a recent experience defending a 17-year-old black teen from claims by a police officer that the teen was doing 360s in the middle of the street. Over the course of the story, Doucette demonstrates many of the problems black people face in the U.S. court system and why changes never seem to stick.
We’ll let him take it from here.
Blacks are not looking for favor. They are looking for fairness and equality! Anyone committing a crime should be punished regardless of race, creed or color. But if fairness is not going to be applied to any person of color then why do you say that we are playing the race card? When a teenaged white kid can cause the death of 4 people and be deemed,“to affluent to pay for his crime”. But a black kid could face 8 years in prison for possessing a bag of weed (if one is fortunate! because he has the true risk of being killed by cops). Something is horribly wrong there.
