Sometimes I Take That Nap At The Beginning Of The Day

An Exo-What...?

Simply put, an exoplanet is a planet that orbits another star. That said, just because a planet orbits a star (like Earth) does not mean that it is automatically stable for life. The planet must be within the habitable zone, which is the area around a star in which water has the potential to be liquid…aka not so close that all the water would evaporate, and not too far away where all the water would freeze.

Recently, with the help of our Kepler spacecraft, scientists have discovered the most Earth-like exoplanet ever, Kepler-452b. Pretty cool! This chart shows 12 other exoplanet discoveries that are less than twice the size of Earth, and live in the habitable zone of their host star. Kepler-452b is special because all previous findings have orbited stars that are smaller and cooler than Earth’s.

You may be thinking, “Okay, so what? There’s an Earth-like planet that spins around a similar sized sun.” Well, Kepler-452b orbits its sun at nearly the same distance from its star as Earth does from our sun, which means that conditions on the plant could be similar to those here on Earth!

We can already guess your next question…”When are we going to Kepler-452b?!” Well, this planet is located in the constellation Cygnus which is 1,400 light-years away, so not anytime soon. However, our Kepler spacecraft continues to search for Earth-like exoplanets and gather important scientific information about them.

real intimacy

I love when you become so close with someone that you can see parts of each other in one another and you begin to say the same things and steal lines from one another and have a similar sense of humor and can exchange an inside joke with just a glance you don’t even have to talk because you have such a strong connection with them and you can sit in comfortable silence but also talk for hours it’s really hard to find that kind of compatibility

My feeling is that in general there is no reason to make a distinction between the ways in which people were (or were not) diagnosed. The main thing is usually that the person identifies with a set of issues and challenges, and their internal voice says: “That’s a lot like me!”

Of course, if a person is facing some kind of challenge related to NOT having an official diagnosis, and they want to talk about it, that’s up to them. But otherwise I can’t really see why it should come up in our discussions.

Also it makes me think: I’m not blind, or deaf, but because of my sensory issues I find it very helpful to read about and discuss things that blind or deaf people experience. Mainly I’m interested in the sense of touch, which it seems to me is neglected by five-sensed people and culture.

Anyhow, my point is: for Tumblr discussions and things of this sort, it matters more that we have something in common. and that we learn from each other. And I would say: our differences may be interesting to discuss; but our differences should not be what define us.

So I’m seeing a new meme I guess? Where posts have (professionally diagnosed) or (self diagnosed) and it’s making me uncomfortable?

There’s a lot of stigma on being diagnosed with mental disorders, illnesses, or the like

People treat it as you trying to get attention or faking it or even ridicule you for it

I’m just worried that this meme is going to turn out horribly for those that use these terms seriously

So please if you do see it can you not make it any bigger?

thank you cereal! thank you rice milk! thank you oreos! and diet coke

without you i would die of starvation

Sending suicide bait to somebody you know is suicidal is one of the lowest things you can do. Sending it proves your personality is nothing but a trail of slime between the dumpster you came from and wherever your trashy leaking ass is right now.

Thanks for proving your true character. You’re somebody who is both cruel and too spineless to put their name on what they say.

You’re cowardly bullies and nothing more.

To the people dealing with this kind of anon bullshit, you’re worth more than their trashy words want you to believe. Don’t give in to them. Rise above it. They choose hate. You don’t have to absorb their self loathing or reflect it back. You’re not a mirror or a black hole. You are a light and they are mere shadows hiding behind their gray masks.
