NASA advertising "do you want to be an astronaut" to tumblr users surely means something. What have you found out there, NASA? What have you found that you believe tumblr users, specifically, are best equipped to handle?

Star Trek: First Contact
So I recently finished DS9, and in my efforts to fill the hole it left in my heart, I’m restarting Discovery because I never finished it. Last I saw it was 2017 when it came out, and then season 2 in 2019.
Now I know this show isn’t everyone’s favorite, and I get why. It has its problems. I for one didn’t hate all the redesigns, but I get why some folks didn’t like it. In fact, I think I enjoyed it even more on a second watch through, season 1 at least. I have yet to tackle the rest of the show.
But one thing that I hope everyone else can agree on is that at the end of the finale (which was… fine. The later half of the season really loses its steam which is strange considering the greatly shortened seasons we have on Discovery compared to older trek) is that teaser of the USS enterprise. (The gif below isn’t the right scene but you get the idea)
I screamed the first time I saw it and I teared up today remembering how happy that little teenage me was to see the Enterprise and hear that original theme playing. I remarked out loud “God, she is beautiful” with the tone with which you say the name of your first love.
Anyone else feel stuff like that over Star Trek?
Let’s hurt the Irish man!

Ok I don’t even know if people who consume both of these media exist (I am cursed to have the media taste of a 40 year old man and I’m in both a Star Trek DS9 phase and a Reacher phase) BUT HEAR ME OUT.
I’m sure you all have experienced watching a show so good that when you watch another show you go “damn this is so Julian Bashir coded” or “Kira would go crazy for this”? Yes? Good. Keep following me here.
I am not sure how many people on this website watch the Amazon Prime series Reacher (it’s my one government allotted almost cop show that I’m allowed to like), in which a man named Reacher saves the day by being the biggest guy in most any situation and being the least neurotypical dude bro I’ve ever seen put to screen. He engages in “detective” work to put bad guys in the ground, usually for the good of the state or sometimes a better reason and usually kisses some woman he’s working with around episode 6-8 of the given season. See the large man below.
Do we remember when Garak tries to give Julian several Cardassian mystery novels and Julian doesn’t like them because the person is always guilty and you know it from the start because that’s how Cardassians work?
**Elim Garak would fuck so hard with the entertaining dude bro crime drama and coworker kissing that is Jack Reacher**
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
There’s a post about how we need more female characters who genuinely care about people but are really bad at caregiving, and honestly that fits Kira Nerys really well. I’m thinking of Starship Down where she’s tasked with looking after Sisko and keeping him conscious when he has a head injury, and she just starts visibly flailing despite making an effort to hold it together. “Listen up…. because there’s going to be a test later” and then trying to keep him alert by droning on about duty rosters because she gets Task-Oriented when things are in dire straits and does not know how to scale things to a more personal level with someone she has a working relationship with.
Like, so much of how she deals with emotionally fraught situations is by getting up and doing something about them (even so far as traveling back in time) or just keeping busy to avoid dwelling on the matter at hand. When her father was dying, her response was to go out and kill some Cardassians about it, and then order another attack upon his death, rather than sit by his bedside. When Bareil died (pre-resurrection via mad scientist noodling) she went right back to work despite Bashir telling her she didn’t have to. It is a trauma mindset from someone who witnessed a lot of death and suffering and had no choice but to pick up and keep moving and keep fighting. And when she has to sit down and really focus on someone else’s vulnerability, it’s very uncomfortable for her. She cares very deeply about the people around her but she’s clumsy about it.
Hi all! I don’t know why I want to do this beyond living up to my legacy and my profile picture, but I’ve decided to chronicle my strange milk tasting adventures.
Today I’m trying this because I’d never seen it before.
Upon opening and before shaking its texture looks dubious.
But upon shaking and pouring the drink mostly homogenizes, this is a good sign.
Notes:
- The froth upon shaking is minor, comparable to whole milk but less than some other plant milks. This is good.
- The flavor is *notably sunflower* similar to how coconut milk is so very coconut. This may make it not for everyone but I enjoy it. It is assisted by the sweetness of the added sugar.
- There is no notable aftertaste, this makes it pair well with food. Today I’m having it with spicy shredded green papaya with a garlic chili sauce.
Rating: 7.5/10
Lmk if there are other milks you’d like me to try!
a train is leaving pittsburgh at 9:45am at 150 mph, and another train is leaving detroit at 7:30am at 100mph, and one train is full of milk, and the other is full of bananas. as the trains are going now, they will arrive at their destinations as scheduled and nothing bad will happen. but if you pull a lever, one train will switch tracks and they will crash into each other, spilling their contents everywhere and killing hundreds of innocent people. BUT. there will be a group of escaped monkeys on the run nearby, and if the trains crash, they will have a tasty treat. do you pull the lever
No. This is a scarcity mindset. Why do we not just give bananas to all monkeys and milk to all trains? This is like how people fight over the one ball in basket ball when we could just give all of them their own ball and everyone wins. Chose love 💜🍌🦧
found goat milk and wheat ale at the store. theres no way im NOT making a white gilgamesh tonite
ok here we go. recipe/original post here:
i sent this post to my friend who is known for making Concoctions. thinking she'd just find it funny. i underestimated her hubris
so for anyone curious about the white gilgamesh experience. i hope this satiates that sick desire in your hearts
btw the concoction girl is on tumblr now. welcome home @edamology
Also bonus lore for this post, I did this because I have a history of doing something I call Mega-Milking? Where I mix as many milks as I have in my house (usually at least 3 as I like whole milk and my girlfriend likes oat milk), and seeing what they create.
Recently I have taken to doing supplemental Mega-Milking because I sometimes buy a milk that tastes bad (for example, ground nut milk extra thick barista edition, don’t buy it it tastes like beans), and I have to mix it with other milks to make it taste better.
Ex: Supernut Milk Barista is too thick and too vegetal, supplement with oat milk for sweetness to cut the vegetal flavor, and supplement with whole milk to thin it out.
Hope you all enjoyed this.
