Nico Greetham is half Colombian, so calling him a "cis white man" feels disingenuous. I get that he's white passing, but so are a lot of other people. So 2/3 of Victor's LI are actually POCs.
?? race & ethnicity are not the same thing! conflating race w ethnicity is common, which is why we should seek out / advocate for better lessons on this subject! nico is a white, half Colombian person and that’s okay, but it doesn’t make him a person of color!
someone: we both said some things we didn't mean
me, thinking about how i was right and absolutely meant everything i said: ......... sure did, pal
i aspire to be one of those people who are known for always smelling good and treating people kindly
Our solar system is littered with asteroids and comets, and sometimes they get a little close to Earth. But no need to worry! This happens all the time. When an asteroid or comet could come close to our planet, it’s known as a near-Earth object – aka NEO.
But how close is “close”?
A near-Earth object is defined as an object that could pass by our Earth within 30 million miles. We begin to keep close watch on objects that could pass within 5 million miles of our planet.
To put that into perspective, our Moon is only 238,900 miles away.
However unlikely an impact is, we want to know about all near-Earth objects. Our Planetary Defense Coordination Office maintains watch for asteroids and comets coming close to Earth. Along with our partners, we discover, catalog and characterize these bodies.
But what if one of these objects posed a threat?
We want to be prepared. That is why we are working on several deflection techniques and technologies to help protect our planet.
So next time that you hear of an asteroid passing “close” to Earth, know that it’s just one of many that we are tracking.
Here are 10 more things you should know about Planetary Defense.

The hardest thing I’ve ever had to do was forgive someone who was never sorry.

i know everybody is excited about potential victor/benji scenes, but i also hope we get to see more romantic interests between other characters of color. especially the queer ones.

alriiiiiiiight, so! a few ooc notes: nate loves macbeth, but i genuinely don’t think he ever really considered he was the protagonist/hero type, so that’s why he chooses to steer away from those roles. should he have given it an honest shot? i’m not sure ─ i don’t think he’ll know what to do with himself if he even got the title role, macduff, or even malcolm. frankly, i just don’t think he’d be inspired enough by them to put his all into it. anyway. enjoy! // triggers: mentions of drug use. word count: 1400+? google doc for better viewing!
