First they came for the scientists…

And the National Parks Services said, “lol, no” and went rogue and we were all like, “I was not expecting the park rangers to lead the resistance, none of the dystopian novels I read prepared me for this but cool.”

@byericacameron Write me a YA novel with a park ranger leading the resistance, championing science against the deniers!

Omg yes. Someone who knows more about science needs to do this. A junior ranger becoming a rallying point for a fight against bureaucracy and cover ups.

Welcome to the space age, ladies and gentlemen

This is really quite a big deal. A tremendous amount of modern research ends up being sold to journals which require unreasonable payments to access it and only pay the original authors a pittance. It’s nice to see an agency like NASA deliberately widebanding its findings.

Not sure if people fully realize just how big of a deal this is.

THIS is how science is advanced. Not through biased corporate research, business secrets, marketing, paywalls and patent wars. But through open, uncensored and unrestricted public access to knowledge.

NASA IS GOOD, NASA IS GREAT

@osunism

NASA is the hero we don’t deserve.

This deserves every reblog.

DOWNLOAD AS MUCH AS YOU CAN bc there’s good reason to believe this isn’t going to stay available.

@nasa is the hero we don’t deserve

“James, no.”

“I could do it.” James’s breath was hot on Q’s nape, his arms tight around Q’s waist. “We could do it.” Bond’s voice dipped into a seductive purr as his fingers dipped into a seductive caress of Q’s hips. “Your skills, my skills, we could do it with no one the wiser.”

Q fought for sensibility but for one eternal moment his universe was roughly calloused fingers trailing fire across his skin.

A nip at Q’s neck summoned reality. “You are not assassinating the President of America no matter how big an ass he is.”

“Spoilsport,” James groused.

When you finish a chapter and really need to just leave it for like a month in order to get a better perspective of how good it actually is, but you haven’t updated the story in like three months. ಠ_ಠ

On the plus side, I am actually writing. Just veeeery slowly…

Omg it’s me!
