        America, Energy, and God: THE GOOD THING ABOUT SCIENCE IS THAT IT'S
 TRUE WHETHER OR NOT YOU BELIEVE IN IT.
 Math is the language of the universe. So the more equations you know, the more you can converse with the cosmos
 Not only do we live
 among the stars,the
 stars live within us.
 We are all connected; To each other,
 biologically. To the earth, chemically. To the
 rest of the universe atomically.
 The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.
 SCIENCE MATTE RS
 WE ARE IN THE UNIVERSE AND THE UNIVERSE IS IN US
 Everyone should have their
 mind blown once a day
 NEIL

 TYSON
 I am driven by two
 main philosophies:
 know more today
 about the world than I
 WE ARE
 NOT FIGURATIVELY.BUT LITERALLY
 knew yesterday and
 lessen the suffering of
 others. You'd be
 STARDUST
 Which came first the
 Chicken or the Egg?
 The Egg-laid by a bird
 that
 surprised how far that
 gets you.
 DO THE PHYSICS
 was
 not a
 LET'S MAKE AMERICA
 Chicken.
 Knowing how to think empowers you far
 beyond those who know only wht to think SMART AGAIN
 KEEP LOOKING UP
 GOD IS AN EVER-RECEDING POCKET
 OF SCIENTIFIC IGNORANCE.
 If aliens did visit us, I'd be embarrassed to tell them we still
 dig up fossil fuels from the ground as a source of energy.
 Space Aliens may be surprised to learn that Humans have
 multiple languages & cultures and we kill one another because of it.
 SCIENCE IS NOT A LIBERAL CONSPIRACY
Not what to believe, or how to believe, but what to know, and how to know, because knowledge is power, power is everything in politics, so itΚΌs nonsense if society is more powerful than authority which usually controlled by politicians.β€”Kyaireyβ€”Aug 4β€”2019

This photo means a lot to me. And I’ll tell you why.Β 
Natalie Portman, as we know, was shut out of Marvel. She chose not to sign any new contract not just because of the way her character was treated (though there is that) but because Thor: The Dark World was slated to be the first Marvel movie directed by a woman, her friend (and eventual Wonder Woman director) Patty Jenkins. Portman hadn’t planned on being in The Dark World, but lept at the chance to be a part of feminist history and to be directed in what would have beenJenkin’s first film since her 2003 Oscar-winningΒ Monster. Portman signed a new contract with Marvel. They fired Jenkins soon after. Portman was crushed because she essentially had been duped into a contract for a film that would keep her away from her young son and force her back into a one-dimensional role under yet another male director. And we all remember how awful that movie was.Β 
When it came time for the third Thor movie, they tried to get Portman under contract again. And she said no. Marvel decided to spin the story to make it seem like it was all their idea. At first, they went for the lame and nonsensical:Β 
When Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked about why she wouldn’t be in the third film, and said there were β€œmany reasons, many of which are in the film, so you will see that” continuing with β€œThere are only a couple of scenes on Earth in this movie. The majority, 95 percent of the movie, takes place in the cosmos.” (x)
Seeing as The Dark World also took place in space, this answer didn’t have a lot of credibility. When Portman said she was β€œdone” with the Marvel Universe, Feige got vicious in interviews, telling reporters that Valkyrie was in Ragnorak to be better than Jane Foster and a better match for Thor.Β 
β€œWe wanted Thor to encounter somebody that was near his equal and that his relationship with Jane may have evolved in unexpected ways in between The Dark World and Ragnarok, and we wanted to pit him against a character who was much more his equal and in many ways his superior.” (x)
Feige implies that A) Valkyrie was in Ragnorak just to be a romantic interest for Thor, B) Valkyrie is better and more powerful than Jane Foster, and C) Jane Foster was always Thor’s inferior.Β 
What’s ridiculous is that Ragnorak had a β€œsorry Jane dumped you” throwaway line to explain Portman’s absence. And instead of saying that Jane and Thor broke up in interviews, a line that does not spoil literally anything about the film,Β Feige chose to attack Jane’s strength and capability, which would have been a very special dig at Portman.Β 
Do you want to know what none of this sounds like? Taika Waititi’s opinion. Waititi is a master storyteller who does not sacrifice his feminist views for laughs. You can bet that Feige’s ridiculous slams on Portman and her character Jane– disguised asΒ β€œpromotion” for WAITITI’S FILM– would have troubled him immensely. This is a man with aΒ Māori father, who had to use his mother’s maiden name– Cohen– for earlier work because an indigenous last name kept him away from opportunity. This man does NOT fuck around with entertainment that gets its power off of sexism and inequality. He knows from experience just how infuriating it is when it comes to directors missing out on opportunities because they aren’t a white man.Β 
So how does he fix this? How does he fix the idea that Jane Foster can’t go to space, or that she’s not powerful enough for Thor, the god of thunder?Β 
He makes her Thor.Β 
Waititi saw Portman / Jane Foster’s name dragged through the mud by Kevin Feige in order to promote his movie, and when he got hired to direct again, he decided to right those wrongs. This picture means everything. He is on his knee, handing her Thor’s hammer, essentially saying, you will never have to go through that shit with me. With me, you’re a god. And the expression on her face, after Marvel attempted to break her, doesn’t need words.Β

This photo means a lot to me. And I’ll tell you why.Β 
Natalie Portman, as we know, was shut out of Marvel. She chose not to sign any new contract not just because of the way her character was treated (though there is that) but because Thor: The Dark World was slated to be the first Marvel movie directed by a woman, her friend (and eventual Wonder Woman director) Patty Jenkins. Portman hadn’t planned on being in The Dark World, but lept at the chance to be a part of feminist history and to be directed in what would have beenJenkin’s first film since her 2003 Oscar-winningΒ Monster. Portman signed a new contract with Marvel. They fired Jenkins soon after. Portman was crushed because she essentially had been duped into a contract for a film that would keep her away from her young son and force her back into a one-dimensional role under yet another male director. And we all remember how awful that movie was.Β 
When it came time for the third Thor movie, they tried to get Portman under contract again. And she said no. Marvel decided to spin the story to make it seem like it was all their idea. At first, they went for the lame and nonsensical:Β 
When Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige was asked about why she wouldn’t be in the third film, and said there were β€œmany reasons, many of which are in the film, so you will see that” continuing with β€œThere are only a couple of scenes on Earth in this movie. The majority, 95 percent of the movie, takes place in the cosmos.” (x)
Seeing as The Dark World also took place in space, this answer didn’t have a lot of credibility. When Portman said she was β€œdone” with the Marvel Universe, Feige got vicious in interviews, telling reporters that Valkyrie was in Ragnorak to be better than Jane Foster and a better match for Thor.Β 
β€œWe wanted Thor to encounter somebody that was near his equal and that his relationship with Jane may have evolved in unexpected ways in between The Dark World and Ragnarok, and we wanted to pit him against a character who was much more his equal and in many ways his superior.” (x)
Feige implies that A) Valkyrie was in Ragnorak to be a romantic interest for Thor, B) Valkyrie is better and more powerful than Jane Foster, and C) Jane Foster was always Thor’s inferior.Β 
What’s ridiculous is that Ragnorak had a β€œsorry Jane dumped you” throwaway line to explain Portman’s absence. And instead of saying that Jane and Thor broke up in interviews, a line that does not spoil literally anything about the film,Β Feige chose to attack Jane’s strength and capability, which would have been a very special dig at Portman.Β 
Do you want to know what none of this sounds like? Taika Waititi’s opinion. Waititi is a master storyteller who does not sacrifice his feminist views for laughs. You can bet that Feige’s ridiculous slams on Portman and her character Jane– disguised asΒ β€œpromotion” for WAITITI’S FILM– would have troubled him immensely.

        Candy, Clothes, and Cute: ISCHACROS
mischacrossing:
This is probably my most requested guide/ tutorial, and there is no one right way to explain it. Everyone’s town is different, along with everyone’s tastes and preferences. Feel free to follow this to a T, do only a few steps, or ignore it altogether. This is just what I’ve gathered from my own experiences and watching other people plan/ build their towns. I won’t mind if you add a β€œRead More” when you reblog it. I know it’s a ridiculously long post. :x
Pre-Landscaping Prep:

Dreamies:Β Try to get mostβ€”if not allβ€”of your dream villagers first. Knowing where their houses are will make landscaping much smoother since you won’t be worrying about someone moving into the middle of your orchard. Using a little (or a lot of)Β plot resettingΒ will help their houses get in not-so-shitty spots.

Side Characters:Β If you’re going to have characters other than your mayor, go ahead and make their houses (or at least plan where they will be). This is for the same reason as getting your dreamies early on.

Hybrid Garden:Β Move your flowers to your beach and set up a hybrid garden, and plant any flowers you buy there. The beach is the best spot, because villagers can’t move there, obviously.Β This hybrid guideΒ will be super helpful!

Stock Up:Β Start hoarding everything. Bells, axes, flowers, tree saplings, bush starts, furniture, etc. You can store them in your house, locker, museum, and/or beach to keep them off the town’s ground and away from dangerous house plots. Check out myΒ Bell-Making GuideΒ for money-making tips.

Town Theme:Β Most people have a general idea early on, but I felt like I should touch on it. Think of what kind of theme/ feel you want your town to haveβ€”i.e. modern, regal, zen, fairy tale, forest, etc. Knowing this will help you decide on wide or skinny paths, number of trees, color of flowers, and so on. Don’t feel pressured to have a theme, though. You can make a town without thinking, β€œThis all has to look super modern!” Just design what you like!

Deforestation:Β Before you start laying down paths or PWP’s, you need to cut down every damn tree in your town. You can use all those axes you’ve been hoarding or a golden axe if you’ve gotten there. This will give you a blank slate to work with so seeing where paths and PWP’s can go will be 100x easier.
Putting Down Paths:

Wide and/or Skinny:Β There are two basic types of pathsβ€”wide and skinny. Wide paths take up two to three tiles, while skinny paths take up only one. Wider paths tend to give a more modern/ regal feel, and skinny paths tend to give a more natural/ forest feel to a town. Skinny paths are also useful in tight areas that you need to go through. You can use only one or a mix of both, but having an idea of which you’ll use will help with planning.

Find a Path:Β This is obviously a huge step. I have a fairly thoroughΒ mix of pathsΒ posted to my blog, but other blogs for finding paths includeΒ bidoofcrossing,Β merongcrossing, andΒ acnlpaths. This would be the time to find waterway and grass designs if you’re planning on having those.

Planning:Β This is definitely optional, but it definitely helps. Take a screenshot of your town map and open it in Paint, or a similar program. Draw lines on your map to indicate where paths will go. You can use a red line to represent wide paths, a green line to represent skinny paths, a blue line to represent waterways, etc.

Actual Pathing:Β Now you can actually put down a path in your town! For the first go-around, it’s simpler to use one single-tile design so you can just put it down where you think you want your path. This way, you can tweak it without having to change three other designs along with it. Having a path with no dead ends that also connects the major parts of town is best. You can use skinny paths/ stepping stones to connect the wide path to smaller areasβ€”like villagers’ houses in tight spaces, the campsite, PWP areas, etc. After all that, you can go in and lay down the pretty path you picked out earlier!

Too Many Designs:Β I get a lot of questions about this, so I figured I’d talk about it. You can only store 10 designs in your design slots, but some paths will take up all or more of those. If you want more than 10 designs, you’ll have to create another character to live in your town. You can have up to 4 characters, so you can have up to 40 designsβ€”including paths, clothes, wallpapers, etc.
Public Works Projects:

Picking PWP’s:Β Obviously your thoughts on what PWP’s you want will change over time, but try to get a basic idea of the ones you like. There is a listΒ hereΒ that tells you all the PWP’s, how much space they take up, and what villager personality will suggest them to you. Some might go along with the theme of your town more, so you can pinpoint those early on.

Planning:Β Once you’re done picking out your favorite PWP’s, you can start figuring out where they’ll go. Walk along your path/ look at your map and find spacious areas. Especially large spaces can be filled with parks (jungle gym, tire toy, water fountain, picnic blanket), gardens (statue fountain, topiaries), zen gardens (zen garden, zen bell, zen bench, zen streetlight), campground (campsite, fire pit, camping cot, log bench), etc. Smaller areas can have single PWP’s. Most can look fine on their own, and you can fill more space with trees, flowers, bushes, etc. a little later. Use a simple design to indicate where various PWP’s will go so you don’t forget and accidentally move a villager in on top of it.

Getting Suggestions:Β Villagers can be super annoying with not suggesting new PWP’s. To help the process along, use theΒ diving trick. It might take a couple tries, but I promise you’ll get more suggestions this way.

Do the Damn Thing:Β Build the PWP’s!!! Obviously you can be building some while planning for others, so don’t get so caught up in planning and the diving trick that you forget to actually build those PWP’s.
Landscaping:

Planning:Β Now that you have most of your villagers moved in and PWP’s at least planned out, you can start putting in pretty nature! You should have been hoarding trees and bushes while expanding your hybrid garden, so you should have plenty to work with. You still might need more though. In this case, use a simple design to indicate where trees or bushes will go eventually.

Lining Paths:Β The first step to giving your town β€œdepth” is lining your paths with somethingβ€”literally anything. If your town is more natural, use more trees. If your town is more modern, use more bushes and flowers. Just mix and match different things with different areas of path. Try not to mix too many different types of bushes in one area. If you do mix them, do it in a pattern of some kind.

Filling Around PWP’s:Β Now you can build on those areas with PWP’s. Larger spaces that you filled with a park or garden can be outlined just like you lined your paths. Inside the areas, you can fill it with flowers, a path/grass design, or just leave the natural grass! Around more secluded PWP’s, you can do the same thing on a smaller scale. For example, around a fountain put a mix of flowers on the first outline or two. Then do an outline of bushes around those flowers with a couple open spaces for entryways. You just took up so much space with just one PWP! So experiment with different areas and see what looks good. You can always rearrange everything later.

Flower Combinations:Β There are going to be several areas you’ll want to fill with flowers, and deciding what kind can be daunting. Like a lot of other things, experimentation is going to be a large part of this. As far as mixing breeds goes, combos that look nice together are cosmos and tulips, cosmos and violets, roses and tulips, and roses and lilies. As far as mixing colors go, combos that look nice together are anything and white, pink and yellow, pink and blue, purple and blue, yellow and orange, black and orange, and red and pink. Everyone’s taste is different, but these are combos I’ve seen that many people have liked.

Extra Space:Β You shouldn’t have much space left, but you can add some trees and flowers into weird areas right behind bigger buildings and whatnot. Putting out clothes and gifts for visitors to your dream town is really nice. Other things can fill up space are fruit baskets, tree stumps, mushrooms, songs, and candy.
Finishing Touches:

Houses:Β Houses aren’t exactly β€œtouches,” but you’ll be working on them all throughout your town building. Basically, just get an idea of what β€œtheme” you want your houses/ rooms to have. Cute ideas I’ve seen are bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, spas, offices, libraries, cafes, classrooms, convenience stores, flower shops, restaurants, and hotels.

Gifts:Β Putting out clothes and wrapped gifts for dream visitors is really nice. Good gifts include throwing beans, toy hammers, balloons, bubble wands, ice creams, and so on.

Carry On:Β Building your town will take months, and you’ll probably change your mind 293208 times on where you want this PWP or what kind of flowers you want in that area. You’ll probably be doing a mix of a few different steps at once, which is completely fine. Just don’t lose focus on enjoying the game! Build your encyclopedia, work towards your badges, interact with villagers, visit dream towns, etc. Have fun, and good luck!!!

In this case, use a simple design to indicate where trees or bushes will go eventually.

Lining Paths:Β The first step to giving your town β€œdepth” is lining your paths with somethingβ€”literally anything. If your town is more natural, use more trees. If your town is more modern, use more bushes and flowers. Just mix and match different things with different areas of path. Try not to mix too many different types of bushes in one area. If you do mix them, do it in a pattern of some kind.

Filling Around PWP’s:Β Now you can build on those areas with PWP’s. Larger spaces that you filled with a park or garden can be outlined just like you lined your paths. Inside the areas, you can fill it with flowers, a path/grass design, or just leave the natural grass! Around more secluded PWP’s, you can do the same thing on a smaller scale. For example, around a fountain put a mix of flowers on the first outline or two. Then do an outline of bushes around those flowers with a couple open spaces for entryways. You just took up so much space with just one PWP! So experiment with different areas and see what looks good. You can always rearrange everything later.

Flower Combinations:Β There are going to be several areas you’ll want to fill with flowers, and deciding what kind can be daunting. Like a lot of other things, experimentation is going to be a large part of this. As far as mixing breeds goes, combos that look nice together are cosmos and tulips, cosmos and violets, roses and tulips, and roses and lilies. As far as mixing colors go, combos that look nice together are anything and white, pink and yellow, pink and blue, purple and blue, yellow and orange, black and orange, and red and pink. Everyone’s taste is different, but these are combos I’ve seen that many people have liked.

Extra Space:Β You shouldn’t have much space left, but you can add some trees and flowers into weird areas right behind bigger buildings and whatnot. Putting out clothes and gifts for visitors to your dream town is really nice. Other things can fill up space are fruit baskets, tree stumps, mushrooms, songs, and candy.
Finishing Touches:

Houses:Β Houses aren’t exactly β€œtouches,” but you’ll be working on them all throughout your town building. Basically, just get an idea of what β€œtheme” you want your houses/ rooms to have. Cute ideas I’ve seen are bedrooms, living rooms, kitchens, spas, offices, libraries, cafes, classrooms, convenience stores, flower shops, restaurants, and hotels.

Gifts:Β Putting out clothes and wrapped gifts for dream visitors is really nice. Good gifts include throwing beans, toy hammers, balloons, bubble wands, ice creams, and so on.

Carry On:Β Building your town will take months, and you’ll probably change your mind 293208 times on where you want this PWP or what kind of flowers you want in that area. You’ll probably be doing a mix of a few different steps at once, which is completely fine. Just don’t lose focus on enjoying the game! Build your encyclopedia, work towards your badges, interact with villagers, visit dream towns, etc. Have fun, and good luck!!!
