this exact idea is really well done and mentioned in the short stories “The Road Not Taken.” and even more so in “Herbrig-Haro” both by Garry turtle dove they’re both really good check them out you can find them online and they’re pretty quick read
Faster-than-light space travel as a concept is fun to me because everything we’ve observed in the stars is how the universe was a long-ass time ago, so in a sci-fi setting where FTL tech was just invented, there could be all sorts of crazy developments that could be found by traveling through hyperspace or whatever. Try to visit a star system, whoops it isn’t there anymore. Try to go close-ish to a nebula, whoops there’s a bunch more stars here now and this trip is more dangerous than we estimated. Or better yet, a planet with intelligent life on it, the light caused by which won’t reach earth by normal means for about another million years. Thought you’d be going to an ocean planet, turns out it’s got small continents and terrestrial life now. Huge amounts of space travel would be based in predicting what the star systems you see will probably be like in such and such many years, and hoping you predicted correctly when you finally make the jump. Actually, with an FTL engine, one could theoretically take advantage of the speed of light to travel a certain number of light years away from our solar system and study it from afar, as a way of observing the history of our planetary system from before humankind even existed! How wild is that?
Some cool signs
What happened in Berlin was so scary to me. It rlly showed how far the right wing is willing to go.
People of color and ppl who aren't ethnically German(like me, I'm half turkish and half Kurdish) are scared to go outside.
And the media is definitely trying to cover this up, please educate yourself on what's happening in Europe- especially about what just happened in Germany.
Ppl rlly forget what happened just 80yrs ago.
And sure "lEfT wInG iS wOrSe tHaN rIghT wINg" literally shut the fuck up
I am fucking scared to go outside.
holy fuck universal gaslight god is terrifying but the fact the press secretary is so scary is so good, and the best part he might not even realize it
like i’m 50/50 does he know what he’s doing or is Shrews whole area actually just way more fucked up than inner Glottage and those threats don’t really exist in Glottage
today we post everett true
2016 was so wack how did mystic messenger, voltron legendary defender, pokemon go, yuri on ice, zootopia, stranger things, and overwatch all come out in like a span of 6 months

If Percy Jackson rated the Greek Gods:
Zeus: 4/10 has tried to kill me several times but did make Thalia and my bro Jason
Hera: -10/10 erased my memories and hates my girlfriend
Poseidon: 100/10 that’s my pabby
Demeter: 7/10 seems pretty chill, wanted me to eat cereal so she cares about my nutritional well-being I guess
Ares: 0/10 tried to fight me when I was 12 very aggressive
Athena: 6/10 can be helpful but also very scary when you date her daughter
Apollo: 5/10 very self-absorbed but has calmed down since he got acne
Artemis: 7/10 very cool but tried to take away Annabeth
Hephaestus: 8/10 helped us out but also sent us into an active volcano so mixed feelings
Aphrodite: 6/10 said she was going to make sure my love life was interesting and oh boy did she deliver. I do like Piper though so she gets points for that
Hermes: 9/10 awesome, hasn’t even tried to kill me once, sent me to Paris on a date, has dope snakes
Dionysus: 2/10 can get a better score when he learns my name
