Fun Fact About The Brick Satellite:

Fun fact about the brick satellite:

You know how the moon goes through phases as it orbits the Earth? How we have half moons and full moons and all that?

The satellite would do the same. But over the course of a day (since it's a fixed point in the sky and orbits at the speed of Earth's rotation). So like, it would be in its full moon form around midnight, and in a half moon form around sunrise.

And from the view satellite, the Earth would also go through these phases over the course of a day, but the Earth's full moon form would be around noon.

Oh this is wonderful. Thank you

I made a Pulp Musicals timeline.

And I would like your help to make it better.

This is what I have so far, based only on what has been given to us in the lyrics of the three episodes. I tried to do the math based on those lyrical clues and therefore may have the timescale wrong in some places! This is a helpful tool if you're listening for the first time and struggling with time scale, or if you're theorizing and need something to refer to.

I'd call it a general overview, and I'm always looking for ways to fix it, add to it, make it a little more comprehensive so please- in the notes if you have any amendments!

Thank you for reading and i hope you have a good timezone.

I love these little guys

I made a thing today because of Perky’s Buds rewatch in @blinkysrewatchparty

So I'm reading the Blazing World, and wow the Empress and the Duchess are so gay for each other. (Ignore the weird spelling, but):

"Husbands have reason to be jealous of Platonick Lovers, for they are very dangerous, as being not only intimate and close, but subtil and insinuating."

"at her first arrival, the Empress imbraced and saluted her with a spiritual kiss"

"The Empress, who loved the Duchess as her own soul"

"Your soul shall live with my soul in my body." -Empress, to the Duchess

I will admit, when I initially heard that Margaret Cavendish put an unnamed self insert into her Blazing World book, I assumed it was the Empress, but her self insert being the Empress's ("platonic") lover is even more fascinating to me.

Both of these women are married btw, although the Empress more for political reasons than anything else. The Emperor does not care what she does, and even told her to summon her "dear platonick friend" because he didn't know how to help her. As far as the Duke goes, there's a scene where both the Duchess's and Empress's souls are inside the Duke's body, and initially the Duchess is jealous, but then realizes "there can be no adultery between Platonick lovers" and is cool with it.

And I just. What was that about, Margaret? Please. You, your fictional girlfriend, your husband. What is going on in this book????

And why does the Duke's soul use she/her pronouns?

Please, I have so many questions. Not even about the hybrid animal people this time.
