Neil Armstrong was a BAMF

THIS IS MY FAVORITE HANK VIDEO IN AGES.

You’ve probably heard a lot about Neil Armstrong in the last few days, but you probably do not yet understand just how much of a total freaking badass he was.

So WATCH THIS VIDEO and be amazed. (That video with the ejecting! HOLY CRUD!)

millionsmillions: “Children can be an anchor. During the two weeks I was at the writing conference, where was my wife? Mostly in Yemen, where she met a boy who said he cowered in the rocks one night after what was an apparent American airstrike, waiting for daylight to try to find his father and brother. When the sun came out, he found them, scattered in pieces, a red sludge. Once upon a time, she and I lived in Turkey and Iraq. And before that, it was Saudi Arabia, where our little girl was born. Before all that, it was a big job in New York, which I left to walk along the ocean. Why did I do that? I’m still trying to figure it out.” Nathan Deuel, “The Writing Life: From Beirut and Cambodia to New York, Florida, and Parts Unknown”

Equality FTW

fishingboatproceeds:

The Harry Potter Alliance has organized a campaign called Equality FTW. They’re raising money to continue the awesome work they’ve done to ensure equal opportunity for all kinds of neglected populations: from undocumented immigrants to LGBTQ people to children in underserved community.

There are several cool perks: You can get a wizard rock Hank EP or the first 6,000 words of my abandoned story THE SEQUEL or (as I chose) get the Potter Puppet Pals to hold a sign with your name on it.

But most importantly, you’ll be giving to an organization that has meant a lot to nerdfighteria for a long time (they facilitated many of the early Projects for Awesome) and also meant a lot to Esther Earl (the HPA also has partnered with This Star Won’t Go Out).

So they’ve helped us a lot over the years. Please join me in helping them continue the fight for equal rights and equal access.
