The Halley’s Comet Meteor Shower Is Set to Peak This Weekend – Here’s How to Watch

mindblowingscience:

It’s time for the biggest moment on the skywatching calendar until this August’s mind-boggling total solar eclipse – the peak of the Eta Aquarid meteor shower.

This weekend, Earth passes through the thickest debris left by Halley’s Comet, and these glowing comet remnants are expected to light up the night sky at rates of up to 40 per hour.

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is active each year between April 19 and May 28, with its peak centred around May 6.

The greatest number of meteors expected to fly before dawn on Saturday May 6, when Australians and others in the Southern Hemisphere will be treated with around 20 to 40 meteors per hour.

Those in mid-northern latitudes can expect about 10 to 15 meteors per hour – but you could get lucky and see more.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Co-worker: Is the framing manager in?
Me: The framing manager cannot be “in”, for she does not exist on this plane, but on a higher dimension accessable only through the void. She is the one, the Omni, the all seeing eye endless and indestructible
Me: She’s in the office.

Contributing to oppositional nominee funds for 24 vulnerable Republican representatives is a way to get them good and scared now, so they won’t try any more shenangians.

If your representative voted Yes on Trumpcare, there’s an upside: You still have a crucial, furious job to do.

The most effective protest, and the one with the best optics, is the one you make physically: showing up at your shitbag Representative’s district office, camera in hand. Be there when he gets to work in the morning. Be there when she leaves. Ask her if she is embarrassed. Ask him if he is ashamed. Tell her interns and assistants about yourself, about your loved ones. Explain to your local newspaper, to neighborhood blogs, to your facebook friends and Twitter followers why you are furious and disappointed and why you will not forget.

If you would rather call, here’s a potential script. It is maybe not the best? I’m pretty angry.

Hi. I’m calling to register my anger and disappointment at Rep. ____’s Yes vote on the AHCA. [I/my loved ones] am now at risk of losing my insurance, and I am appalled that social programs that personally affect me and my loved ones will be stripped in order to provide tax breaks to the wealthy. Rep. ____ should be ashamed of himself. I and my community will not forget this vote. Will you please take down my information and send me confirmation that the Congressman is listening to constituents? Thanks.

If your rep voted YES and you don’t want to call them, there are PLENTY of people on tumblr who will call on your behalf.

I lost my devotional bracelet for Hermes

Some things have gone missing in the move, but I had the bracelet on me for the trip, It was in a pocket or a purse the whole way. Then, when I decided not to set up an altar yet [which is where I usually put it when I’m not wearing it] and just put it down somewhere I thought it’d be safe…it disappeared.

I found it! Right where I left it…just a case of fuzzy brain
