McShep is my favorite OTP

ship: ew / nonono / maybe / ship it / aww / otp / MY HEART 

Bestie, you do know the way to my heart. I just have a thing for two seriously messed up people finding completeness in each other and McShep gives me that in spades. 

I really only have two serious OTPs, and this is one of them. (bet you can’t guess the other). 

i encourage you to go to your favourite writer’s ao3 page and comment on an older fic, because i can assure you that it will make their day. It can mean so much to see your work doesn’t disappear into the void to be never seen again after a day of people interacting with it. Just, if you have the time, go comment on an older work

(pls reblog this to try and get as much writers a bit of appreciation)

reblog if u agree

In contrast, all my husband and I had to do was sign a form. Our competence to choose the outcome of our embryo was never questioned. There were no mandatory lectures on gestation, no requirement that I be explicitly told that personhood begins at conception or that I view a picture of a day-five embryo. There was no compulsory waiting period for me to reconsider my decision. In fact, no state imposes these restrictions — so common for abortion patients — on patients with frozen embryos. With rare exceptions, the government doesn’t interfere with an IVF patient’s choices except to resolve disagreements between couples. The disparity between how the law treats abortion patients and IVF patients reveals an ugly truth about abortion restrictions: that they are often less about protecting life than about controlling women’s bodies. Both IVF and abortion involve the destruction of fertilized eggs that could potentially develop into people. But only abortion concerns women who have had sex that they don’t want to lead to childbirth. Abortion restrictions use unwanted pregnancy as a punishment for “irresponsible sex” and remind women of the consequences of being unchaste: If you didn’t want to endure a mandatory vaginal ultrasound , you shouldn’t have had sex in the first place .

Fertility clinics destroy embryos all the time. Why aren’t conservatives after them?

How will the James Webb Space Telescope change how we see the universe? Ask an expert!

The James Webb Space Telescope is launching on December 22, 2021. Webb’s revolutionary technology will explore every phase of cosmic history—from within our solar system to the most distant observable galaxies in the early universe, to everything in between. Postdoctoral Research Associate Naomi Rowe-Gurney will be taking your questions about Webb and Webb science in an Answer Time session on Tuesday, December 14 from noon to 1 p.m EST here on our Tumblr!

🚨 Ask your questions now by visiting http://nasa.tumblr.com/ask.

Dr. Naomi Rowe-Gurney recently completed her PhD at the University of Leicester and is now working at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center as a postdoc through Howard University. As a planetary scientist for the James Webb Space Telescope, she’s an expert on the atmospheres of the ice giants in our solar system — Uranus and Neptune — and how the Webb telescope will be able to learn more about them.

The James Webb Space Telescope – fun facts:

Webb is so big it has to fold origami-style to fit into its rocket and will unfold like a “Transformer” in space.

Webb is about 100 times more powerful than the Hubble Space Telescope and designed to see the infrared, a region Hubble can only peek at.

With unprecedented sensitivity, it will peer back in time over 13.5 billion years to see the first galaxies born after the Big Bang––a part of space we’ve never seen.

It will study galaxies near and far, young and old, to understand how they evolve.

Webb will explore distant worlds and study the atmospheres of planets orbiting other stars, known as exoplanets, searching for chemical fingerprints of possible habitability.

Make sure to follow us on Tumblr for your regular dose of space!

I feel like the producers of SGA wanted another Kirk/Jack O'Neill and were shocked to find they got the Dude from the Big Lebowski instead

ha, if they wanted another O’Neill they should have stuck with the Ben Browder casting instead of recasting when Ben was off filming the Farscape movie.  Joe played the most laid-back Air Force pilot ever (like seriously, most pilots are Type As who worked their asses off to get in the pilot seat - sort of like top surgeons, that level of work and skill needed to excel).

Joe played John as the zen genius who’s been through the valley of shadows, invited death into his house, and come out the other side into ice. He accepted that he wasn’t going to care about much, but those he did care about (and those who he pledged himself to protect), he would burn the earth to the ground in their defence. But he was real, not some fictional hero type - he was nervous around people, he misread intentions, he geeked out over new tech and toys and the fact that they were on an alien city on another planet, and I think that was the brilliance in how Joe Flanigan played John Sheppard  - John Sheppard was a relatable audience insert.

We got a geek, a fun guy who had a hard time making friends, who never really sees the attention of beautiful women coming because why would they be into him,  who would do anything to protect his friends, who got to fly cool alien planes and stop the bad guys and make nerdy yet appropriate quips while doing so. He was the guy the audience could jump on to move into the story, and I don’t know if it was intentional on Joe’s part or if just happened but man, it worked. I don’t normally  identify with male characters in stories but John Sheppard became my favourite because he he was the hero I could see myself being.

In a way (and this is a tangent) John Sheppard was more like Han Solo than a lot of other recent sci fi characters. In the original trilogy, Han Solo was literally a scruffy bounty hunter who was a bit of a nerd, who acted all tough and suave but really was just a guy who was decided that he was going to be a hero, not because it was a way to get the girl, but because it was what he wanted to do, for himself, for his friends, and for the galaxy. And for the audience, that journey was relatable because we all can imagine coming from a place of reluctance to decide to take on heroic actions.

So anyway tl’dr i have a lot of feelings about John Sheppard and how he was portrayed by Joe Flanigan and how the portrayal was something really out of the ordinary in sci fi etc etc.
