Rencontre avec Adèle Haenel et Jean-Gabriel Périot | Telerama, Cannes 2021

#where do you even get a hand fan in Europe? #1998? #I’m struggling in my head and I don’t wanna bother my friends #and she’s kind of my comfort blanket.

And I’m not. I just find living very demotivating. Just because I don’t wanna be here doesn’t mean I’ll do anything about it. Because I know other people want me to be here. And while that brings me no boost in self esteem, I don’t particularly want to upset people.

#my multi tasking is off the charts #I’ve been uncontrollably sobbing and yet cracking constant jokes in group chats #we discussed such amazing topics as ‘why ill never let a woman fall in love with me again.’ #‘why I constantly feel like a failure’ #my personal favourite ‘how I hate myself volume 763’ #just dumb shit

Venus has LOCKED tectonic plates??? How does that work? How are they even counted as individual plates if it’s the tectonic equivalent of Pangea?

it’s not so much that Venus’s tectonic plates are locked, it’s more that it never had them in the first place!

which is a major surprise, actually, because Venus is the most Earth-like of the other planets in our solar system.

surprise?

“what,” you may say, flailing in consternation, “about Mars?? why are we trying to colonize Mars if Venus is more Earth-like???”

and it’s a good question! Venus IS technically more Earth-like in the sense that it’s right next door, is a solid 80% the size of Earth, and has both a working atmosphere and a liquid mantle composed of molten rock, BUT- it’s also important to note that Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system and it rains boiling sulfuric acid at almost all times! our first probes to the damn place actually melted. MELTED.

this is what Hell looks like.

BUT ANYWAY so Venus is the planet in our solar system that’s the MOST physically similar to Earth, our dear mother who does not rain boiling sulfuric acid on our heads hardly at all ever, so it’s kind of a shock that its geology is COMPLETELY FUCKING DIFFERENT.

see, Earth’s outer crust is broken up into a series of mind-breakingly-massive tectonic plates that sort of skid around on top of the liquid mantle, slowly drifting in different directions driven by Earth’s rotation and bonking into each other randomly like a 300-million-year-long Pinball tournament!

but on Venus, the entire outer crust is a single solid piece sitting on top of the liquid mantle, like the peel of an orange.

though not as good for you. because of the whole Boiling Acid thing.

and contrary to what you might think, this actually makes Venus a VERY VIOLENT place! the outer crust twists and deforms slightly as the liquid mantle spins under it, like a water balloon being flung repeatedly against a wall by a small child, but all of that force can’t really be dispersed because the crust is a single solid piece of rigid rock!

so what happens is that this force builds and builds and BUILDS until Venus can’t take the strain anymore and has a very volcanic tantrum about it.

unlike the rest of the solar system, the surface of Venus is made of relatively new and entirely volcanic rock- because the entire planet is basically having a planet-wide eruption event at all times, with multiple huge volcanos just spewing gigantic amounts of liquid rock everywhere like it’s their damn job, to the point where Venus is just getting resurfaced like a McDonalds parking lot every epoch or so.

aren’t you glad Earth doesn’t do this? I am SO glad Earth doesn’t do this.

(much, anyway)

uh anyway that’s why we’re trying to colonize Mars instead, and why plate tectonics are a GOOD thing! thanks for coming to my TED talk bye

#this is fucking wild #I love it #Venus is a badass!

Literally me while my therapist tells me I have severe clinical depression. Like. No shit doc, I have as many lives as a cat and I’m ruining them all. How do you want me to feel? The whole world telling me I’m not a complete waste of space isn’t gonna convince me I’m not right now.

I’m also rapidly running out of headspace. People I adore 1000000x over telling me they love me just kills me inside because I always just feel like they’d be better not having to put up with me daily.

I probably seem perfectly happy to the world. Inside my stomach is flipping, my living spaces are a mess, socialising is exhausting and yet I still can’t sleep well.

Depression is really hard, I don’t fully understand what it’s doing to me or how to combat it without being doped up. So I live my normal life and at least 3 days a week I feel awful and drained with the life sucked out of me.

Totally normal seeming people can be fighting battles you just can’t see and they don’t wanna telegraph to the world. I’ve made a conscious effort to be kinder and more tolerant over the last year. I believe the majority of people are good people and will repay kindness with kindness. I believe it because I live it and because I know that it’s dragging me through tough times.

#mental health #this post seems sad #but honestly #I’m getting by #checking in with people can feel awkward #but being nice to people is universally easy

‘Is it insensitive for me to say… get your shit together? So I can love you.’

#Actually yes it is insensitive #taylor swift #renegade #just shitty memes about how I suck

[notquitedrunkenough]

My therapist told me to write down things that I’m good at and that I like about myself. So naturally I’m just staring at a blank page. 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

#note to self #it’s easier to just drown the next time

Well cephalopartners, it’s been inkredible but we have a sucker punch for you: #CephalopodWeek is all wrapped up for this year. We laughed, we cried, we learned that octopus poop looks like a noodle. Sea you next year!

What’s something you can never unlearn about these amazing head-footed beasties?
