Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

Today's PSA: (because, apparently, this is shocking to people). It's OK for corporations to make less money. It's OK for shareholders to receive less value.

No, they don't have to raise prices on their consumers. No, they don't have to cut wages or benefits. They're choosing to.

People who say “go big or go home” seriously underestimate my willingness to go home. Like, it’s literally my only goal.

I love sitting alone in my house all day doing nothing. Eating snacks, watching movies, strolling around, listening to my fav songs. You may find it meaningless, but that's what gives me meaning. The ordinary. The little things.
