If you’re having a bad day, watch this

99% of history must be basically total BS if you can’t even get current news without bias.

The lies we tell ourselves. [@sarahseeandersen​]

This is Athena right now, extremely tired after an intense game of fetch

Athena's first time on Tumblr

This is the most adorable thing I’ve seen in awhile. 13/10 would watch twice.

If you ever feel unloved just remember...

There are cells in your body that would die for you to protect you from getting sick.

The greatest test of one’s self control is eavesdropping on others when they’re wrong.

wait for a surprise

Heads-up, Earthlings! The annual Geminid meteor shower has arrived, peaking overnight Dec. 13-14. It’s a good time to bundle up! Then, go outside and let the universe blow your mind!

The Geminids are active every December, when Earth passes through a massive trail of dusty debris shed by a weird, rocky object named 3200 Phaethon. The dust and grit burn up when they run into Earth’s atmosphere in a flurry of “shooting stars." 

The Geminids can be seen with the naked eye under clear, dark skies over most of the world, though the best view is from the Northern Hemisphere. Observers will see fewer Geminids in the Southern Hemisphere, where the radiant doesn’t climb very high over the horizon. Skywatching is easy. Just get away from bright lights and look up in any direction! Give your eyes time to adjust to the dark. Meteors appear all over the sky.
