Explanation: Many wonders are visible when flying over the Earth at night. Such visual spectacles occur every day for astronauts in low Earth orbit, but the featured video captured several from the International Space Station (ISS) in 2011 and set them to rousing music. Passing below are white clouds, orange city lights, lightning flashes in thunderstorms, and dark blue seas. On the horizon is the golden haze of Earth’s thin atmosphere, frequently decorated by dancing auroras as the video progresses. The green parts of auroras typically remain below the space station, but the station flies right through the red and purple auroral peaks. Solar panels of the ISS are seen around the frame edges. The ominous wave of approaching brightness at the end of each sequence is just the dawn of the sunlit half of Earth, a dawn that occurs every 90 minutes.
oh to be pinned against a wall by my arch nemesis who i am secretly pining for and smirk insolently up at them while fantasizing about kissing them and being kissed back as they lean forward until our noses are almost touching to whisper threats which are meant to intimidate me but only turn me on more in my ear
I feel like some of you guys think “bad art” is like someone gluing rhinestones to a water melon, or a guy who made his own armchair out of Ohio license plates, or a trashy romance novel where someone says “the blue-eyed one kissed the brown-eyed one,” when in reality bad art is a 1000000 Billion Dollar movie where none of the workers got paid and every single creative decision was market tested to see how lucrative of a profit it could foreseeably make to wow shareholders.
you know even if a homeless person or a starving person is in that position because of their own “bad decisions” i don’t care. it doesn’t matter. no supposed financial misstep is enough to condemn someone to homelessness or poverty.
Search and rescue teams do not ask if a hiker was properly equipped and prepared before they go out to look for them.
EMTs do not ask if a driver checked their mirrors before they take them to the hospital.
Lifeguards do not ask if a swimmer made a mistake by going into a riptide before they dive in after them.
Judgement doesn’t help anyone, including you, the person doing the judging. Just help people. Just shut the fuck up and help people.
people are allowed to make mistakes. we’re supposed to. We’re human. Those mistakes should not mean dying or being deprived of basic needs like shelter or food.
It also shouldn’t mean having to be deprived of things that make you happy, beyond just the basic needs of survival.
[ID] A tiktok video by @Bow_AsInTakeA_Rawn. A white person in a silk green shirt sits down in an office chair. Yellow Text on-screen reads “An Ancient Greek Sailor Has No Idea Why He Keeps Getting Shipwrecked.” [/Text] Subtitles appear on-screen as they talk aloud. They have a faint Irish accent.
[Text] I just don’t understand it. It’s the 4th time I tried to sail that way. Yeah! 4 times in a row my ship has sunk. [/text]
He holds up 4 fingers [text]
I mean, it’s the same every time: 3 days into the journey, everyone suddenly goes mad and suddenly we’re steering towards the rocks for no conceivable reason! I mean, I keep missing family events! My sister’s wedding… I mean, the Captain just gets a funny face, I think, “Oh boy, here we go again.” My brother in law’s funeral…? I mean, to be fair, the 3rd time wasn’t too bad because the shelter I built was still there. My sister’s housewarming party- I mean, the Isle of Lesbos sounds beautiful! I mean, it’s just bad customer service, isn’t it?”
(Offscreen) “Uh, what’s the island called?” “Uh, sorry, what was that?” [/text]
The protagonist looks off to the left of the screen, and the camera cuts to a different character played by the same actor, who is wearing a white dressing gown. They are a BSL interpreter, and repeats the question in sign language while mouthing “What’s the island called?”
The camera cuts back to the protagonist, who says “Oh, the Isle of Sirens. Why?” [End ID]
