As a child, I thought Neptune was the coolest fucking planet ever. It was blue. A gas giant. Didn't have a ridiculous "your anus" type name, and had some crazy facts such as having winds almost twice the speed of sound, an atmosphere full of ice and frozen methane. I'll leave the rest to the wiki article

Today, I still think Neptune is the coolest celestial body in the solar system. Young sodi had the right idea.

What's your favorite celestial body? Can be outside the solar system. No rules on this. Except for choosing Sagittarius A. Fuck Sagittarius A.

Bonus content: sonorification of emitted frequencies of planets and bodies. In other words, these are what rhe frequencies of various space things would sound like.

Earth's frequencies sounding like birds (space) is most terrifying thing ever and I hate it. There should not be birds in space.

I've been dealing with shitty wifi and bluetooth for like 3 weeks now. My computer is near a big metal locker and I needed to get a cable so I could move my receiver. Anyway I finally did because I was on a VC with a friend (was breaking up really badly) and now its so much better. Kinda pissed I didn't do it sooner. No random dropping or issues. Why didn't I just do this weeks ago....

    Holy shit. This is my first time watching Buffy, and I just hit Restless. Wow. I can’t believe this aired on the fucking WB of all places. This is some David Lynch ass shit. Incredible vibes.

    Going to someone's bio to block them and seeing pronouns is the worst. Like damn you might be at least kind of cool on trans people. Not changing my mind though.

    Yusuke's goodbye:...As of now, my canvas is still blank.

    It's not for lack of inspiration. There's so much I want to express - I can barely contain my passion. But my heart has not led me astray yet. I'll paint as it guides me.

    Even should I scar my work with doubt, hesitation, chaos... certainly, that's a beauty all its own.

    Your life is no worse for its own scars. Your truest beauty lies in them, and I hope you tell me their stories someday.

    I went surfing for the first time since starting HRT and I was expecting it to be much harder with the strength loss but it actually wasn't that bad? It helps that I'm with an instructor who's telling me what waves to go for and when but I can definitely still get out past the sets, paddle into waves, and ride them. And now I look 100x hotter in my wetsuit with some curves.

    Testosterone definitely has it's effects on muscle mass, but I think much of the "HRT makes your muscles" melt has historically come from doctors giving trans women menopausal lady doses of hormones. I've fallen off rowing lately but I was able to still build some decent muscle when I was on (and still am) on really good estrogen levels.

    So since my request for random fun facts in the last thread turned out great, here's another random fun fact to kick off this week:

    The Kindlifresserbrunnen (Fountain of the Eater of Little Children) is an almost 500 year old statue in Bern, Switzerland that depicts a man pulling young children out of a bag and eating them alive. It was created by Swiss sculptor Hans Gieng, but no one seems to know what the intended message was supposed to be. There are many theories, but I think maybe Mr. Gieng just thought it was hilarious and was basically doing an elaborate 16th century shitpost.

    If anyone else has a fun fact to share, please do!

    My fun fact: the only place on Earth where Venus flytraps grow is a small swampy area along the coast of North Carolina, USA. Like within about a ninety mile radius or so. Every time they're shown in documentaries they never mention it and always intimate that they're from somewhere more exotic and interesting. Also they are nearly impossible to grow from seed outside of their natural environment, so like 99% of the ones for sale anywhere on Earth have been illegally poached.

    they're actually really easy to propagate from cuttings - the rampant poaching really confuses me honestly because of that fact. also they don't sell for very much money either

    i mean you're not wrong about the poaching, it still happens at a massive rate - the low cost per plant just means the poachers are working in bulk now. i just would imagine/hope that most reputable nursery specimens nowadays are cuttings or tissue culture.
