Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things
Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.
wait but actually…sisko’s baseball is his orb??? he leaves it behind as a relic and a reminder of his return, as is common for prophets and messianic figures? it’s baseball that he uses to try and explain human time to the prophets? it never leaves his desk, and its presence haunts dukat when the cardassians briefly recapture the station?? pls tell me if this is something people have talked about because the baseball as a religious relic/object/orb is blowing my mind
the fact that he explains baseball to the prophets in the first episode really adds to the baseball’s religious significance. when he used it to describe linear existence to non-linear gods they asked “you value your ignorance of what is to come?” and he said “that may be the most important thing to understand about humans. it is the unknown that defines our existence. we are constantly searching, not just for answers to our questions, but for new questions. we are explorers. we explore our lives, day by day, and we explore the galaxy, trying to expand the boundaries of our knowledge. and that is why i am here. not to conquer you either with weapons or with ideas, but to co-exist and learn”
which is basically the moral code that sisko lives by, his religion. searching for the unknown, answering questions, co-existing and learning are the things that sisko tries to do throughout the series, though that gets super fucking difficult for him. and when shit gets rough, he ponders his orb
i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he’s one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he’s a 43-year-old tiktok star. he’s a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press’s coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he’s the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says “this machine pwns n00bs” on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as “the science one” (or “the music one”) while his brother was “the writer one,” and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he’s done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual
In 1998. his Winter Park High School classmates named him “Best Dancer.” He’s had an album on the Billboard Charts, and he won an Emmy for a web-based adaptation of Pride & Prejudice. He co-founded DFTBA.com, the Awesome Coffee Club, the Awesome Sock Club, and Sun Basin Soap–but doesn’t make money from any of them. Instead he’s led these brands to donate over $5,000,000 to a hospital in Sierra Leone. His companies, when he stepped down as CEO due to the cancer, had over 115 full-time employees, all of whom receive a living wage and good benefits. His production company, Complexly, has made educational videos with 5 billion total views, and helped hundreds of millions learn through SciShow and Crash Course. He is the sweetest dad to the world’s most amazing six-year-old, and the spouse of one of the funniest people you’ll ever meet, and he is loved–ferociously–by his brother. He truly is among the Most Guys Ever.
