WOW WOW WOW
Good enough I had to stop taking pictures and yell some swear words for a little bit. But like, in a good way. (I'm not sure what that says about me that overwhelmingly awesome experiences make me yell swear words...)
@sundogplanets Probably just means you’re an Australian ;-)
@sundogplanets @cafuego
Came here to say this… ☝️
@dgar @sundogplanets @cafuego me too… well done Richard Brockie
@Catawu @dgar @cafuego Ha! Well, right after one of the live radio interviews last week the host said "I love having her on, she's so enthusiastic! She's like the Crocodile Hunter but for space!" which is delightful
@sundogplanets “Fuck yeah!” Seems perfectly appropriate in this context.
@RichardBrockie @sundogplanets Also, "Holy F-ing F!" Or you know, just, "F me!"
@sundogplanets It’s like anything amazing: your brain objects to dealing with the quality of input. Like sex, or a really good dessert.
@sundogplanets It's for emotional regulation. :)

@sundogplanets absolutely nothing! They're good for emphasis.

Offended by swearing? Get better priorities

Swearing, cursing, profanity, whatever you want to call it. [Post contains swearing, obviously] Understatement: there’s a lot of bad stuff here on planet Earth. Enough for a lifetime of sadne…

Purely a figment of your imagination
@sundogplanets It's fair. The first words out of my mouth when I put my glasses down during the total eclipse were "Holy Fuck!" :)
@sundogplanets The sky is angry. Sacrifice something, quick.
@sundogplanets wow! but alas, it's cloudy and raining in Washington state, so no aurora for us.
@sundogplanets oh how beautiful. I would love to see the northern lights.
@sundogplanets I really wish that I lived far enough north, and far enough from "civilisation", to see these.

@sundogplanets

Absofuckinglutely amazing. I'm swearing now, and I didn't even get to be awestruck in person.

Thank you.

@sundogplanets i think that means you have been promoted to green lantern
@sundogplanets oooooh. That is positively fluorescent!
@sundogplanets you complain about the space junk but imagine how cool it will look when the satellite constellations start coming down at the same time this is happening
@mcc Well, I'm sure some extra will come down faster because of the storm!
