(cont. from the TW SUICDE message) you're absolutely right, it really does. Hell, he encouraged me to pursue it cuz he felt the same way (funnily enough, you're his age). But now he's gone... oh well. Thank you for your kind words, dude. I used to feel the way you do, and maybe I can be on the way to being in awe of the vastness of everything once again. All I can hope is to fall in love with a subject I had dedicated myself to again... thanks for your attention, I'll leave ya alone now~!
Thanks for the message and I hope one day you can find something to dedicate your time and passion to like that once again <3

MAJOR TW FOR SUICIDE-- My friend who was an astrophysics major killed himself back in October, and it's kinda made me hate astrophysics and physics in general since then (despite recently graduating in physics this May), but seeing you on here, still alive and kicking and being a cool space mom, it makes me kinda happy, you know? Like wow, maybe physics isn't so bad, maybe space can be cool again, maybe my friend is at peace with the stars...
It’s a stressful major but studying it definitely gives a lot of people peace in a way? Like it makes you realize the vastness of everything and how the universe is so much more than just us and idk. It can be very humbling and it gives some people this peace of mind in a way that’s comforting, hopefully it was for your friend. Idk what their beliefs are spiritually but hopefully it gave them some peace and continues to do so wherever they may be now
Random story of the day:
Mapmakers often put secrets in their maps as copyright traps, to make sure no one copies their maps. For example, some map makers put fake streets in maps, sometimes fake features. If they see a map that has that street, they know it was copied from them.
Similarly, in 2005, the New Oxford American Dictionary published a new word: Esquivalience, meaning “Willful avoidance of one’s official responsibilities”. It was a made up word, a copyright trap to make sure no other dictionaries copied them. If anyone copied their dictionary, the stealer wouldn’t be able to come up with a source except for the New Oxford. (Dictionary.com fell for this trap)
Another example of a copyright trap was when the author of The Trivia Encyclopedia put a false fact in his book, because he was certain that the makers of the game Trivial Pursuit were taking his facts for the game. (The false fact was that “TV detective Columbo’s first name was Phillip” when the show never specified his name. Sure enough, the ‘fact’ showed up in Trivial Pursuit.
I keep having the same fucking dream. Like over the past month I’ve had it 4 times.

Barbie camera anon you can ignore that ask if it triggers you or dont have to post it. Your post just really hit me and I felt for the first time I could tell someone what happened to me.
Your ask was v emotional and yeah, I understand how simple little things like cameras they used or certain smells can just completely throw you off years and years later. It’s a big reason why I’ve kept my hair short for so many years and only just recently I’ve been comfortable with growing it out
