People who don’t want to read The Martian in case the science is too complicated should be informed that it contains the lines “The best way to store the ingredients of water is to make them be water”, “It is of course dangerous to set off an explosive device on a spacecraft”, and “If I cut a hole in the wall of the hab, the air won’t stay inside any more”.

I love this fucking book

“I’ve said the words kilowatt-hours-per-sol so many times they’ve lost all meaning so I’m going to call them pirate-ninjas.

“So I need to generate nine hundred pirate-ninjas…”

Two important things to remember about The Martian:

1) Andy Weir (the author) is very much not a scientist.

2) Mark Watney (the character) is a NASA scientist and they fucking love explaining their stuff to non scientists so they are very good at making it understandable

genuinely can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a book as much as this one. It’s SO GOOD. 

The film doesn’t do the book (and Mark Watney’s snark) justice at all.

fencer-x:

marcvscicero:

writing style: author from the 1800s with a severe love of commas whose sentences last half a page 

I came out here, to this point, to this place, hoping against all hope and despite signs and portends suggesting otherwise that I might, somehow, find myself having a pleasant experience, and yet here I stand, alone against the world, feeling assaulted, attacked on all fronts, knowing not my enemy’s name nor his face nor whether our battle is done.

….is that “I came here to have a good time and I’m honestly feeling so attacked right now” but by Oscar Wilde

Doctors Are Now Saying That Menstrual Cramps Can Be as Painful as Having a Heart Attack

And in other news, water is wet

Not like women have been telling y'all this since the beginning of time or anything.

I mean, yeah, at one point three years ago I was curled up in a fetal position literally screaming/crying/gasping for breath on my bed in my dorm room, so my response to this headline is basically, “No shit.”

No wonder women are so likely to ignore heart disease/attack symptoms. If something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.

THAT LAST COMMENT

!!!!!

No seriously. There aren’t enough people who understand how important that last comment is. I lost my right kidney four years ago because of “if something isn’t as bad as my cramps, I figure it can’t be that bad.”

My. Fucking. Kidney.

Don’t force people with periods to internalize and silence themselves when they have cramps!

Also, generally speaking? Cramps are NOT supposed to hurt THIS much, and it MIGHT be a sign you have endometriosis, a woefully underdiagnosed condition. :(

This makes me remember the times I’ve gotten cramps to points where I almost pass out because the pain is unbearable.

And it took a man, bringing SCIENTIFIC NUMBERS TO OTHER MEN, for them to go: Oh.. they weren’t kidding..
