Seriously, Google? You actually changed Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America on Google Maps?

What the fuck?!

Not only did they change the name of the Gulf of Mexico… but they have removed very specific events from Google Calendar. These include Black History Month, Pride Month, Holocaust Remembrance Day and more.

its not about fuckin. problematic romance or whatever the myth isn’t ABOUT romance it’s about demeter and persephone’s separation. death took her child and her heart broke. The world withered from her grief. its okay if you all hate your moms and wanna run away with a guy with face tattoos or whatever the fuck but making demeter the antagonist to a forbidden romance plot means you’re illiterate sorry

Hot dog mission.

[Video description: a small black kitten has a whole hotdog in their mouth as they traverse a suspended rope. The Mission Impossible theme music plays as the kitten occasionally stumbles and slips but steadily makes their way to a post. The kitten clumsily climbs up the post, and then the video slows as they jump from the post to a structure a few feet away. End VD.]

Link to a NYT article about a new satellite made of wood:  "Two master carpenters in Kyoto, who usually restore historical buildings like Nijo Castle, were enlisted to work on the satellite. The magnolia wood was processed using a centuries-old Japanese woodworking technique called “sashimono,” which uses intricate joints instead of screws, nails or glue."ALT

WTF HOW COOL IS THAT

It’s a very small satellite, but still. Seems like the idea is that wood burning up in the atmosphere is a lot healthier than metal.

Sometimes I love the internet, actually. Incomprehensibly huge place but also so small. Saw a video on Instagram where Crayola was announcing they’re coming out with a box with some limited edition previously retired colors, including Dandelion. This video had hundreds of comments and almost all of them where “omg where’s the dandelion crayon girl she’s going to be so happy” and it was such an unimportant thing, but it was just cute

The tags on this post are also full of people happy for the dandelion crayon girl 🥹
