im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers
ok so if everythings normal, your phone camera should have a manual mode (sometimes called pro mode). in it, change the settings of the shutter lag to 20 seconds, then put the phone down on some stable, plane surface and press the photo button (usually when using your camera, the volume buttons can be used as photo button) and let the phone still for the whole 20 seconds.ย 
(basically the problem with most cameras is that they dont have a very good light sensitivity in the dark, however that doesnt mean they cant detect it at all. the longer the shutter is open, the more light your camera takes in and the more burnt/light your pic will be, so in (literally) dark situations, make the shutter lag longer to get all that light you need! also i said 20 seconds but really you can make it shorter or longer depending on what kinda stuff you want for your stars)

Yes this! 
Additionally, adjust your ISO to the highest number (mimics the film used for very low light and low speed images)
And set your shutter speed to the longest time possible (on my phone itโ€™s 10 seconds).
Leave your focus settings on Auto, and if your phone camera has a timer option, turn that on (five seconds is generally enough).
Plan your shot first, then find a place to set your phone down so you can get the image you want. The less light pollution, the better; youโ€™ll pick up FAR more stars in your picture.
Once you know what you want to shoot, tap your screen to โ€œfocusโ€ it, then hit the button to take the picture, set your phone down, and back away from the โ€œtripodโ€. Donโ€™t touch your phone for a good 15 seconds, just to be sure.
You will not be disappointed in the results, let me assure you.
Not even a little bit.

WHAT THE FUCK CNN


Isnโ€™t she the Minister of Propaganda or something? 



propaganda guru, communications aide, administrative gatekeeper
yes.ย 
our friends over at nbc also used some creepily similar phrasing to the other major news sources above btw, including comparing her to ivanka trump, although the headline for their piece is more neutral & less glowing. theyre still treating her like some kind of celebrity, & comparing her favorably to various member of the trump administration/family.
i cant believe buzzfeed had to be a voice of reason in the press here.
buzzfeed.
that is horrifying.

The terrifying timeline where I have to agree with goddamn Buzzfeed.



This feels vaguely like those occasions where an Onion article hits too close to the truth.

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasnโ€™t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy โ€œDont play this time. Just fake itโ€ย 
Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect.ย 

To my readers: โ€œpโ€ means quiet, โ€œppโ€ means really quiet. Iโ€™ve never seen โ€œppppโ€ before haha.
On the contrast, โ€œfโ€ means loud, and โ€œffffโ€ probably means so loud you go unconscious.

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chairโ€ฆ

Me and my trombone buddies had โ€œffffโ€ and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.
The lengths we go for music.

Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.

One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section โ€” whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each otherโ€™s hands all shhh donโ€™t call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, โ€œAll right, letโ€™s run through it up to section A.โ€
And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent โ€” but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They donโ€™t come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when theyย do come in, what we see is:
[stifled giggling]
[reeeeeeally deep breath]
[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]
The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasnโ€™t actually been cued to stop. The band director doesnโ€™t even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.
In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: โ€œTHERE WERE FOUR Fโ€™S.โ€
FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.

This is the best band postย 
Everyone else go home

Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this

which is 8 fortes. We were shocked until,

that is 24 fortes who the fuck does that

Who does that?

This guy. Take a good look - that is the moustache of a man with nothing to lose.

Fun Story: My director kept telling me and my tenor sax buddy to play softer. No matter what we did, it wasnโ€™t soft enough for him. So getting frustrated, I told my buddy โ€œDont play this time. Just fake itโ€ย 
Our Band Director then informed us we sounded perfect.ย 

To my readers: โ€œpโ€ means quiet, โ€œppโ€ means really quiet. Iโ€™ve never seen โ€œppppโ€ before haha.
On the contrast, โ€œfโ€ means loud, and โ€œffffโ€ probably means so loud you go unconscious.

I had ffff in a piece once and my conductor told me to play as loudly as physically possible without falling off my chairโ€ฆ

Me and my trombone buddies had โ€œffffโ€ and he sat next to me and played so hard that he fell out of his chair.
The lengths we go for music.

Okay yeah so I play the bass clarinet and the amount of air you have to move and the stiffness of the reed means it only has two settings and that is loud and louder, with an optional LOUDEST that includes a 50% probability of HORRIBLE CROAKING NOISE which is the bass equivalent of the ubiquitous clarinet shriek.

One day, when I was in concert band in high school, we got a new piece handed out for the first time, and there was a strange little commotion back in the tuba section โ€” whispering, and pointing at something in the music, and swatting at each otherโ€™s hands all shhh donโ€™t call attention to it. And although they did attract the attention of basically everyone else in the band, they managed to avoid being noticed by the band director, who gave us a few minutes to look over our parts and then said, โ€œAll right, letโ€™s run through it up to section A.โ€
And here we are, cheerfully playing along, sounding reasonably competent โ€” but everyone, when they have the attention to spare, is keeping an eye on the tuba players. They donโ€™t come in for the first eight measures or so, and then when theyย do come in, what we see is:
[stifled giggling]
[reeeeeeally deep breath]
[COLOSSAL FOGHORN NOISE]
The entire band stops dead, in the cacophonous kind of way that a band stops when it hasnโ€™t actually been cued to stop. The band director doesnโ€™t even say anything, just looks straight back at the tubas and makes a helpless sort of why gesture.
In unison, the tuba players defend themselves: โ€œTHERE WERE FOUR Fโ€™S.โ€
FFFF is not really a rational dynamic marking for any instrument, but for the love of all that is holy why would you put it in a tuba part.

This is the best band postย 
Everyone else go home

Oh man, so I play trombone, and we got this piece called Florentiner Marsch by Julius Fucik, and we saw this

which is 8 fortes. We were shocked until,

that is 24 fortes who the fuck does that

Who does that?

This guy. Take a good look - that is the moustache of a man with nothing to lose.

my favourite part of the Evolutionary Biology courses I took at the University of Toronto was learning that several bird species have 3+ sexes? the ruff bird is a great example - each male variant has a different (and successful!) reproductive strategy, and a different chromosomal sequence.
unlike the ruff bird, human sex falls into a bimodal distribution - this means there are two strong peaks (โ€typicalโ€ male and female morphs),ย with a whole lot in between.
evolution is nice way of sayingย โ€œstatistics played out longterm among living organismsโ€, and evolutionarily successful traitsโ€ฆ.arenโ€™t something to hold up asย naturalย orย moral, or representative of anย advanced state.ย itโ€™s literally just fuck tactics that make your group size increase.
(though fucking isnโ€™tย always the best route, as asexual reproduction is massively advantageous as a short-term strategy, and certain species dominate the landscape by switching between sexual/asexual depending on environmental conditions)
besides all that, the strength of humankind has always been our ability to work together communally, and thatโ€™s straight science.ย so even if you went down the extremely problematic pathย of valuingย fellow humans based on their potentialย evolutionaryย contributionย (coughs, eugenics, coughs), there would still be zero scientific basis behind discriminating against trans, non-binary and intersex people.ย 
tl;dr hereโ€™s a challenge to all the bigots out there: please stop usingย โ€œscienceโ€ as a defence when the actual science is (overwhelmingly) against you.

Science: pissing off bigots of all kinds since its inception.

I find White-throated sparrows fascinating. They have two color morphs, the bright one:
And the drab one:
The two morphs have very different behavior. The bright ones are more aggressive, setting up territories and defending them, being more aggressive about defending against predators. They sing more often.
The dull ones are quieter and less aggressive. They are more attentive to the nest, and better at feeding nestlings.
The morphs tend to make a good pairing for raising children because they specialize in different roles. The dull-colored birds, being more camouflaged, are safer when sitting on the nest, and are better able to hide. The bright-colored birds, being more visible, are better able to intimidate predators and rivals.
Interestingly though, both color morphs occur in both female and male birds. And birds tend to pair up with both opposite sex and opposite color morph birds. The dimorphism and different roles that, in most birds, are strongly associated with biological sex, in this species has evolved to be abstracted and separated from biological sex.
Some people have described this system as the birds havingย โ€œfour sexesโ€.



Itโ€™s been proposed that some life may have only first split into multiple sexes in order to confuse or slow down parasites so maybe some folks get offended cause deep down they just think roundworms will get them

However, it is not a creature in a traditional sense, other than the fact that it is alive. It was a being of formless liquid like mineral material that consolidated into a mass big enough to cover several star system.ย It invaded everything it can reach and consumed, from the burning fire of stars and whole of gas giants to every liquid, minerals and organics on hard planets down to its core, it devoured everything. Breaking down all that there is and reconstruct them into its own from the level of atom structure to consolidate into their mass. In its path it left nothing but empty space and few small fragments of what was there once.: revolver-d:

In its path it left nothing but empty space and few small fragments of what was there once.

Honestly, in my work as a therapist, Iโ€™m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still donโ€™t have a satisfactory approach to it.

Iโ€™m a guidance counselor/psychologist for teenagers and itโ€™s getting really hard to motivate young people to work for a future they donโ€™t believe in.ย

I saw this video where someone was asking french teens in the 50s how they imagine the future would be. The war hadnโ€™t been over for long and yet it was all positive with like peace and flying cars and such. Then they went and ask the same questions to nowadays teens and hell that was depressing. Some still had hope, but it was just thatย โ€œwell I hope Iโ€™ll have a nice house and maybe some kidโ€ but there was such a hesitancy to it, like they didnโ€™t dare to hope too much.ย 
People mock Greta Thunberg but what they donโ€™t get is that when she saidย โ€œyou stole my dreamsโ€, it was the truth.ย 
Young people donโ€™t get to dream like they used to. They donโ€™t dream anymore, they grief all that wonโ€™t be anymore and thatโ€™s just so fucking sad.ย

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Targetโ€™s Facebook.

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because iโ€™m a transman.ย 
It doesnโ€™t take a genius to conclude that itโ€™s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you donโ€™t pass, itโ€™s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what yourย preferredย name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didnโ€™t care. Not in the sense that they donโ€™t emotionally care, but that it didnโ€™t matter. I was male and thatโ€™s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couplesย benefitsย in states that do notย recognizeย them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who werenโ€™t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when youโ€™ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with myย preferredย name and didnโ€™t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

people didntย know how Pro-LGBT Target is. I will always shop there


Looks like Iโ€™m going to target. 


Real men shop at target


All corporations are bad but now Iโ€™m considering applying to Target. 


โ€œwhen you can give equal respects for all of your costumers, then maybe many of us will be backโ€ ma'amโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ. thatโ€™s exactly what theyโ€™re doing


At target you can order a special name tag from HR with your pronouns on it! Officially printed on there and everything!!!!!

 I just saw your ad for gay couples marrying to register with you. I
 have also experienced an extraordinary wait in line when a
 Muslim cashier would not handle pork and someone had to cash
 her out, cash in and resume the order. However, you will not
 allow your customers to say Merry Christmas and you do not
 carry nativity creches. I will never shop in Target again and I will
 encourage friends and family to do the same. When you can give
 equal respects to all of your customers, then maybe many of us
 will be back. Till then, I will spend my money elsewhere.

 With your advertisement for homosexual bridal registry, you've
 lost a card carrying shopper. It's one thing to expose adults to
 such debauchery, but it's quite another to expose children to it.

Right on the application, it asks what yourย preferredย name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didnโ€™t care. Not in the sense that they donโ€™t emotionally care, but that it didnโ€™t matter. I was male and thatโ€™s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couplesย benefitsย in states that do notย recognizeย them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who werenโ€™t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when youโ€™ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with myย preferredย name and didnโ€™t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

people didntย know how Pro-LGBT Target is. I will always shop there


Looks like Iโ€™m going to target. 


Real men shop at target


All corporations are bad but now Iโ€™m considering applying to Target. 


โ€œwhen you can give equal respects for all of your costumers, then maybe many of us will be backโ€ ma'amโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€ฆ. thatโ€™s exactly what theyโ€™re doing


At target you can order a special name tag from HR with your pronouns on it! Officially printed on there and everything!!!!!

I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?

 I just saw your ad for gay couples marrying to register with you. I
 have also experienced an extraordinary wait in line when a
 Muslim cashier would not handle pork and someone had to cash
 her out, cash in and resume the order. However, you will not
 allow your customers to say Merry Christmas and you do not
 carry nativity creches. I will never shop in Target again and I will
 encourage friends and family to do the same. When you can give
 equal respects to all of your customers, then maybe many of us
 will be back. Till then, I will spend my money elsewhere.

 With your advertisement for homosexual bridal registry, you've
 lost a card carrying shopper. It's one thing to expose adults to
 such debauchery, but it's quite another to expose children to it.
