Curious Thought

It's easy to get overwhelmed by the possibilities and different ways how things could be. But we must not take for granted this one life we're living. Because one is all it takes.

I made a pun in twitter and realized some feminist stuff. My pun went like this: “I know why we study men in history. It’s because you’re studying his story. That’s why it’s called history.” But thats not all...

I LOOKED MY PUN UP TO SEE IF IT WAS AN ACTUAL THING AND OMG THERES THIS AMAZING THING CALLED HERSTORY. ITS NOT HISTORY IF YOU’RE STUDYING A WOMAN’S STORY. ITS HERSTORY.

In Green Company: Aurora over Norway : Raise your arms if you see an aurora. With those instructions, two nights went by with, well, clouds – mostly. On the third night of returning to same peaks, though, the sky not only cleared up but lit up with a spectacular auroral display. Arms went high in the air, patience and experience paid off, and the creative featured image was captured as a composite from three separate exposures. The setting is a summit of the Austnesfjorden fjord close to the town of Svolvear on the Lofoten islands in northern Norway. The time was early 2014. Although our Sun has just passed the solar minimum of its 11-year cycle, surface activity should pick up over the next few years with the promise of triggering more spectacular auroras on Earth. via NASA

Star Trek: The Original Series, Season 1, Ep 2: Charlie X. 

This will NEVER not be my favorite episode. I love it so much. This is my favorite moment from the whole show. My other favorite moment is when Spock tells Kirk that he’ll need to act as a father figure to Charlie, which makes him uncomfortable, ESPECIALLY when explaining sex + women to Charlie. I gotta feeling nobody knows sex + women better than Captain Kirk, though.

Me:

“Many adults are put off when youngsters pose scientific questions. Children ask why the sun is yellow, or what a dream is, or how deep you can dig a hole, or when is the world’s birthday, or why we have toes. Too many teachers and parents answer with irritation or ridicule, or quickly move on to something else. Why adults should pretend to omniscience before a five-year-old, I can’t for the life of me understand. What’s wrong with admitting that you don’t know? Children soon recognize that somehow this kind of question annoys many adults. A few more experiences like this, and another child has been lost to science. There are many better responses. If we have an idea of the answer, we could try to explain. If we don’t, we could go to the encyclopedia or the library. Or we might say to the child: “I don’t know the answer. Maybe no one knows. Maybe when you grow up, you’ll be the first to find out.”
