“YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.”

(152830) 1999 VD57 is a small, stony main-belt asteroid 700 meters (2,300 feet) in diameter. It was discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) survey at Socorro, New Mexico on 4 November 1999. This asteroid was identified as a flyby target for NASA's Lucy mission in January 2023, which will approach 450 km (280 mi) from the asteroid on 1 November 2023. 1999 VD57 will be Lucy's first and smallest flyby target and it will become the smallest main-belt asteroid visited by a spacecraft yet. It was identified as a target by Raphael Marschall, mission collaborator of the Nice Observatory, only after Lucy had launched, due to the asteroid's small size.

1999 VD57 has not been named yet, but the Lucy mission team has proposed the provisional name Dinkinesh, after the Ethiopian name for the Lucy fossil after which this NASA mission is named.

Dinkinesh translates approximately to “You Are Beautiful.”

Well duh. They boned.

So fun story about my roommate

so last semester, my new roommate, without consulting anyone else, put up these stupid wall stickers. and I had to live with em alllll year.

(ignore the tapestry, that's mine)

so, end of the school year starts coming up, we're gonna have to take the damn things down anyway. so I decide to have some fun with it.

on sunday, while roomie was away at work, I took the stickers off the wall and started cutting up the letters. and this was what she found when she came home.

this was just above the couch, the first thing you'd see upon walking in the door. and my favorite of all, in the corner where the couch met the wall:

the next day, while I was in class, she came home and saw it. and promptly began acting like I did not exist.

It was the greatest week I'd had since moving in.

but only a week. one day, I texted our collective roommate group chat that I was taking an online test, and that I'd need quiet for about 2 hours or so. and when I finished, I left my room to find bare walls where my art once was, and a ball of letters in the trash can.

so I fished it out. and left this.

but I wasn't done quite yet. I fished out a couple favorites and put them back up in my room (partly bc I had gotten a bit attached to nut,)

now, you might notice that "tit" has lost its "s". that s now serves a greater purpose:

forming the word "penis" that I hid on the wall behind the couch before I moved out.

suffice to say, that roommate hasn't talked to me since.

About this blog

Heya. I'm Spyglass, but most folks just call me Spy.

he/him

adult (not very good at it yet)

autistic

I am a creative polymath, existential nihilist, science nerd, wistful wannabe-futurist, and –most importantly– worldbuilder. I contain multitudes. Check out my other internet haunts here.

I don't really do fandoms, ergo I don't reblog any fandom stuff (with rare exceptions, which are tagged appropriately). I also don't reblog anything nsfw (except the odd dirty jokes and shitposts) –no mature content here. Consider this blog PG-13 with a big ol' asterisk and footnote.

Tag system

(in no particular order)

#spyglass' realms - My worldbuilding stuff, also typically tagged with #worldbuilding. Further organized into world-specific tags; see the overview post.

#spy writes - My writing, of all sorts but usually fiction. Typically also tagged with #spyglass' realms and relevant world-specific tags.

#spy has thoughts - Tag for posts where I think out loud or when I add significant commentary to reblogs.

#spy answers asks - The internet asks me things, and I answer. Usually. Don't be a creep in my inbox, please.

#my life is a sitcom and i am my own laugh track - Funny stories from my own life. Random factoids about my life go under #new spy lore unlocked instead.

#i try so hard to be funny - Haha! Comedy. Meant to tag posts where I'm making a joke, usually in a reblog, but I sometimes forget to use it.

#shitpost rb - Reblogs of stuff I find funny, usually without any commentary. My most used tag... to my great chagrin. Variant companion tags are #advanced shitposting for particularly high-brow science-based funnies and #coprolitepost for specifically palaeontology-related funnies.

#important post - Stuff I think is important: activism, life advice, mental health, the like. Usually mental health posts are also tagged with #mental health post (go figure).

#science - Cool science reblogs. Always tagged with the specific field(s) of study involved; most frequently #space science, #biology, and #palaeontology.

#art reblog - Cool art, either from my friends or just random stuff that's crossed my dash. Art that I think is really cool gets the additional tag #rad art, and I also have additional tags for #space art and #paleoart.

#tabletop stuff - My catch-all tabletop gaming tag; not always D&D specifically, but most of the time. Often accompanied by #absolutely horrible dnd ideas that i must try out asap -my tag for, well, what it says on the tin.

#videogames - Dude, I could be gaming. What it says on the tin; always tagged alongside the specific game tags like #the elder scrolls, #no man's sky, #minecraft, and #pokemon. I reserve the videogames tag for specifically game-related stuff, so there may be posts like fan art or funnies with the specific game tags and not the videogames tag.

#toddposting - Okay, this one is real specific and I'm including it here for fun. Toddposts (also sometimes tagged with #tesposting) are funny posts about The Elder Scrolls games –usually Skyrim– and memes about Todd Howard. Sorry Mr. Howard but it's still fun to dunk on you.

#Glock function - I was funny on the internet one time!! ONE!!! The whole saga can be found in this tag. Tor, what a week. No, I didn't make it up. Apollo, please have mercy and stay thy dodgeball.

Tagging is a little haphazard, so I may have missed some things in my archive, but this covers the bulk of the content you'll see here. Thanks for stopping by. :)
