Here’s a nice photo of our home, Earth and it’s good ole friend the moon, I suppose, the other half of our system.
Although we see our moon nightly and observe it’s daily effects on our tides, I think I can be forgiven for saying that we didn’t really grow to appreciate the relationship between the Moon and Earth until we set foot on it in 1969. So, it’s nice to have a photo of them together.
Taken by NASA’s Juno spacecraft in 2011, we see Earth on the left and the Moon on the right. The image was taken when the spacecraft was around 9.66 million kilometres away; a long way from home.
Whenever I make a series, the last one is the hardest. EVEN
though this wasn’t the last one I created it needed some extra work.
Originally, I thought this would be Rose’s Site. It’s in the same color scheme
as Pink’s site.
The colors are softer. I’m not sure if that’s welcoming but
it’s certainly homey & safe. The website features Earth by itself. A
central focus. Here, Rose wants to know your name. That’s all the information
she needs. There are no stats, informative boxes, or even gem identifications
because Earth is a place to be whoever you want to be.
The third page, Rose is interested in the gem’s talents.
Like Blue’s site, there is value in knowing what gems are good at. Unlike Blue,
Rose wants in coming gems to look outside of those skills and learn new things
about themselves.
The join page, is not demanding at all. It sends a different
message from YD & BD’s pages. A gem could simply be on Earth and not want
to be a crystal gem. It is a serious decision and could prevent a gem from ever
returning to homeworld.
A guide to fusions is needed. It is also welcomed to take
your time when wanting to build relationships that could support a fusion. NPC
Garnet is there to walk any gem through the needed steps.
Lastly is Rose looking at the horizon of the moon,
preferably from the moon base. She’s deeply in love with this planet, and hopes
the gems she is protecting will feel the same way about Earth.
Like, I could come up with a bunch of examples of Thor being hella smart, but let’s go with the most obvious one in this movie.
Thor specifically told the Guardians NOT to go to Knowhere. He told them they wouldn’t be able to stop Thanos from getting the Reality Stone anyway, and knew 100% that he needed to be more powerful to face him.
Not only was he right in the sense that, with Stormbreaker, he came super close to defeating Thanos with all 6 Stones, but also, if the Guardians had all gone with him to Nidavellir instead, Thanos wouldn’t have captured Gamora, he wouldn’t have found the Soul Stone, and he would’ve had to face the Avengers AND the Guardians on earth with one less Stone.
Moral of the story: Thor is INCREDIBLY smart and 100% knows what he’s doing, and people need to start paying attention to him more.
Sorry for the ugly post (I’m on mobile) but Behrouz Boochani is a refugee being held in an internment camp by the Australian govt in a country that’s treated as a de facto colony and there’s now a penalty of up to 25 years prison for any reporter who covers the internment of refugees so this is a hugely important book. Manus is basically a black zone
Boochani had to dictate a lot of this book over the phone and phone access is incredibly difficult. There’s a group that collects donations to buy credit for refugees on Manus and Nauru and I can personally vouch for them. You can donate here
