• period dramas

•summery conspiracy theories and documentaries

• attempted skin care routine; done one day, ditched the next

• new music filling up the locked room

•open room window at evenings, feeling summer breeze

Librarian Life

10% shelving.

10% ‘helping’ kids colour in pictures.

50% talking to OAPs about the weather.

20% sniffing every single new book like there’s crack between the pages.

10% reading secretly in a corner.

A reminder that NASA isn’t the only space agency

I have seen many “Space achievements 2015” articles and posts leaving international accomplisments completely out, so here are some of them: 

1. A new type of basaltic rock on the moon was found by Chinese robotic lander.

China National Space Administration’s Chang’e-3 landed on the Moon on 14 December 2013, becoming the first spacecraft to soft-land since the Soviet Union‘s Luna 24 in 1976.

2. On February 11, the European Space Agency, ESA, successfully launched on a suborbital trajectory and recovered an experimental wingless glider, IXV.

It became the first true “lifting body” vehicle, which reached a near-orbital speed and then returned back to Earth without any help from wings.

3. On December 9, Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft succeeded entering orbit of Venus.

Japan Aerospace eXploration Agency’s Akatsuki is the first spacecraft to explore Venus since the ESA’s Venus Express reached the end of its mission in 2014.

4.  ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft detected oxygen ‘leaking’ from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, the first time these molecules have been seen around a comet.

Rosetta spacecraft, the first to drop a lander (named Philae) on a comet, entered orbit around 67P in 2014 and continues to orbit the body. On June 13, European Space Operations Centre in Darmstadt, Germany, received signals from the Philae lander after months of silence.

5.  The Canadian Space Agency has provided NASA with a laser mapping system that will scan an asteroid that could potentially hit the Earth in about 200 years

6. The high-resolution stereo camera on ESA’s Mars Express captured this sweeping view from the planet’s south polar ice cap and across its cratered highlands and beyond.

No I haven't read any of these honestly. I've read some of Sun-Ra's other poetry, nor that particular collection though, and I absolutely loved it. So based on that, I'd recommend Sun-Ra's work :)

@planetary-productivity, have you read/recommend any of these?   

You go home and invent a story about me, and now you can’t separate me from the person you’ve imagined me to be. You call that, I suppose, being in love; as a matter of fact it’s being in delusion.

Murderers from Oakland Police Department attempting to show solidarity with the community they’ve terrorized.

I have no idea who Scalia was. Isn’t that the thing that people call themselves when they are furries but with reptiles?
