I think this video is on point. All the political drama dealing with kids is parents relinquishing their obligation of their duty as parents to the government or to technology. The government and tech industry are not innocent but the first line of defense to creating good natured and smart kids is their home.
If you are a parent right now, take away the tech and do something together. Do it once, then do it again and then do it often. Just because you became a parent doesn't mean you stop learning. It becomes an opportunity to learn something in a new way with your kid.

I never saw this before. Albeit saw it happening live from my classroom window. Being a kid living through a tragedy is pretty different than being an adult, and on live tv.
This tune really grew on me, after a few years finally seeing the video tonight got me liking it even more. Love the animation in this and it makes me feel so nostalgic.
Thanks for this because I am spiraling.
this'll be my last post for the night. it looks bleak right now and it feels like the world might end and i do not blame you for feeling that way. i kind of feel like that too to be honest, but numbers are just numbers and land is just land. the results maps you're looking ar are not 100% accurate.
please please please just walk away from this. you'll wake up tomorrow and we'll all probably be crying, for good or bad reasons. i am begging you all to get away from the screen and sleep if you can because if you're starting to spiral then this is not good for you.
i sound like a broken record and i apologize but i repeat it because it's true: no matter how bleak it seems, no matter how badly this may or may not turn out, we can push through this. get some rest. wake up and keep living no matter what. i believe in you.
wake up and keep living. no. matter. what.
goodnight and good luck. sending my warmth out to all of you. <333
(psst have some more cat pics!!! you all really liked the other ones so here's some loafs to ease your mind. i'll see you all tomorrow.)
This is one of my favorite trends right now lol
Love to the mars rovers family!
Haven't seen anything about Ingenuity on tumblr yet, so I guess I'll make a post about it
Ingenuity (sometimes called Ginny) was an companion craft to Perseverance, one of the rovers currently on Mars. As opposed to any of the past rovers, however, Ingenuity was a rotorcraft intended to fly above Mars' surface.
After landing on Mars in February of 2021 and completing its first flight on April 19th, 2021, Ingenuity became the first aircraft to fly on another planet. Its original goal was only 5 flights, but it well surpassed that number, logging 72 flights with over two hours of in-air time.
On January 18th, 2024, Ingenuity lost contact with Perseverance midway through a flight, and a few days later, NASA had confirmation that the rotors were damaged, leaving Ingenuity incapable of flight.
So long, Ingenuity. You did so much <3

One of my earlier embroidery animations, this was my second one. I made sure that the designs were very simple, since I wanted this to be fairly long. The tangled thread is just purposefully messed up French knots.
