don’t ever take me on a date to an aquarium because i will ignore you and spend the whole time looking at the fish

But, if you think about it, that’s all the more reason to go. The person you’re dating gets to sit back and watch you smile and have fun. All the while, he/she’s falling deeper in love with you.

thatS REALLY CUTE IM GONNA CRY

thesylverlining: Can I just say how cool it was that both of these superheroines’ personalities and powers were explored in this episode? And how well it was done? Starfire was not shamed for being emotional. Her powers come from her emotions. Raven was not shamed for suppressing her emotions. Her power requires amazing control. They both. Work. They are both different kinds of strength, and they are both heroic and powerful and good. And they each learned from the other, and helped each other out by seeing from each others’ perspective, and finding the value in their differing approaches! Wow! Fuck yes, this is how you write super-ladies, okay. There’s more than one way to be a “strong female character.” There’s all different kinds of strength. Why don’t more people GET this?

pappubahry: Jupiter’s moon Io, photographed by Voyager 2, 10 July 1979. The end of this blog’s Io-thon follows on from yesterday’s post.  The photos used in this gif were taken with longer exposures than yesterday’s, so there is a better contrast between Io and the background.  Two volcanic eruptions are clearly visible in the top-left: I think that they are from Amirani and Maui.  There’s also an eruption on the right-hand side, but as its only lit by reflected light from Jupiter, it requires a lot of brightening to see (NASA’s photojournal shows it here). You can also see a volcano in the south, tall enough to stay in sunlight even as the surrounding areas fall into darkness. Yesterday I mentioned the bright spot glinting near the equator.  I asked Jason Perry (who used to write an Io blog) about it on Twitter and he said that it “looks like specular reflection off of glassy, cooled lava near Hi’iaka Patera.”  So there you go.
