On June 25, 2023, our James Webb Space Telescope made its first near-infrared observations of Saturn. The planet itself appears extremely dark at this infrared wavelength, since methane gas absorbs almost all the sunlight falling on the atmosphere. The icy rings, however, stay relatively bright, leading to Saturn’s unusual appearance in this image.
This new image of Saturn clearly shows details within the planet’s ring system, several of the planet’s moons (Dione, Enceladus, and Tethys), and even Saturn’s atmosphere in surprising and unexpected detail.
These observations from Webb are just a hint at what this observatory will add to Saturn’s story in the coming years as the science team delves deep into the data to prepare peer-reviewed results.
Productivity culture will deceive you (especially if you are particularly high-functioning or a former Gifted Kid) into thinking that any use of your time that can’t be monetized or leveraged for your personal advancement is worthless, and I’m here to tell you that’s the devil talking. Do shit because you like it.
How do I explain to you people that interracial relationships are okay
Not every white person dating a POC is fetishizing. White people can be respectful and responsible when it comes to culture and relationships and not everyone has bad intentions.
Asian people can date Black people without you saying shit like “your kids will be so pretty” they’re not dating for pretty kids. They’re dating bc they like each other.
Someone can dress their partner in clothing from their culture if they want. Someone can take their partner to cultural events if they want.
People in relationships can share cultures, experiences and love without it being toxic or skin deep.
Their partner isn’t culturally appropriating. Their partner is being shown the ultimate form of love, bc their partner trusts them and loves them enough to share their history and heritage.
Yeah, dating someone from your culture is nice bc you automatically have similar experiences. But you’re not limited to dating people with the same experiences. Loving someone is sharing and growing and being together.
Interracial relationships aren’t always toxic, and some of y’all need to stop projecting onto other people.
👆 THIS 👆 👏👏👏
Calling ineterracial relationships toxic or fetishizing just seem like anti race mixing or racism with extra steps

…Hot take, but we need to start hiring fursuit makers of this caliber to do practical creature effects for indie fantasy/sci-fi movies, because clearly these people seem like the goddamn future of practical effects….
…And yes, before anyone brings it up, I am aware the all-fursuited fantasy movie Bitter Lake exists, but we need more stuff like that IMO.
What’s wild to me is you can’t see where the wearer’s vision is. Usually close-fitting masks like this use the wearer’s eyes as the character’s eyes, and while it does look cool you can’t get cartoon eyes that way. This mask has cartoon eyes, but doesn’t have the usual black patches at the corners for vision. I’m wondering if the eyes are actually where the wearer’s eyes are and they’re using a material like reflective sunglass lenses to prevent their eyes from being easily seen.
And don’t get me started on how well the jaw works! Mobile jaws that follow the wearer’s movement are common but often have very slight oddities that give away the mechanism. This one is perfect. I’d love to see this artist’s other work.
bitches be like “I love this person more than most of my family I want to hold them forever” and it’s a fictional character with twenty lifetimes worth of trauma
I think that if Fakir were to write Duck back into a girl, or actually any other scenario post canon, Duck would never say “I love you.”
It’s not that she doesn’t feel it, we know this girl, she feels everything and feels it with her who self. But. I think there will forever be this lingering fear of actually saying the words. This niggling in the back of her mind that maybe, just maybe, that bit of Tutu stayed with her. Drosselmeyer is a tragedian after all, and that would be fitting parting shot from him. So she’ll never say the words. She’ll never write them down or mime them in earnest, as herself.
But Fakir doesn’t care, because he knows her. Her love language is acts of service and quality time, just like his. And once she finally admits her fear to him, they develop a system. Like that one post about the couple who tap each other three times as a way of saying ‘I love you’, an acknowledgement and a reassurance that’s just for them.
