Remember Rosetta? That comet-chasing European Space Agency (ESA) probe that deployed (and accidentally bounced) its lander Philae on the surface of Comet 67P? This GIF is made up of images Rosetta beamed back to Earth, which have been freely available online for a while. But it took Twitter user landru79 processing and assembling them into this short, looped clip to reveal the drama they contained.
while the stuff in the foreground is dust/ice on the surface of the comet itself, the background is actually stars. i saw a stabilized video where you can really make it out, and it blew my mind.
hereās the stabilized clip, if anyoneās interested
honestly? ebony darkāness dementia raven way was GOALSā¦. like she dresses in ridiculously elaborate mall goth get-up 24/7, she gets taken to concerts by her rich boyfriend constantly, she killed a woman in the middle of a movie theatre and no one even cared likeā¦ Ā she is the DEFINITION of iconic
The dudes from mythbusters are the ultimate unstoppable force vs immovable object,, every time they interact its just
immovable object is an amazing description for a person who once said āI donāt think our death ray is working. Iām standing right in it, and Iām not dead yet.ā
People always gloss over how mentally damaging it can be to work in retail. I fucking hate that whenever I say āI could never work in retail againā someone has to reply āYou snowflake millennials canāt take a starter job because you have to INTERACT with other peopleā No. Fuck you. Iāve worked as a planetarium host. Iāve worked as a public speaker. Iāve worked as a tutor and as a student teacher. I can work with people. I can work with crowds. Retail was fucking different. Retail was being treated as a subhuman. Retail was being treated so poorly that you have anxiety attacks before work. Having to work retail was a factor in my last suicide attempt. If I hear you say one fucking word about retail workers playing the victim I will personally break every bone in your body. Fuck You.
The holidays are coming up. Retail workers are going to be spiraling into a nightmare beyond human comprehension. If youāve worked retail, you know this. If you havenāt, be aware of it. Please be kind to every retail worker you come across. Please be patient and understanding. It is misery out there.
And most management in retail? They do literally nothing to support you or they make it worse. You are just a number, anyone can replace you, you donāt matter. But also you should be loyal to the companyyyyy.
