Historical Building and Museum

Location: Yamashitacho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan Timestamp: 18:00 March 15, 2023

Constructed in 1922, this red brick building stands out amidst the contemporary structures that line the street adjacent to Yamashita Park in the Port of Yokohama.

Originally named British Mansion No. 7, the edifice served as the Yokohama branch of a British trading company, and remarkably, it is the sole trading house in Yokohama to have survived the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake.

In 1979, the structure underwent refurbishment and was renamed as the Toda Peace Memorial Hall. As a testament to its historic significance, the city of Yokohama granted the building an official Historic Building certification in 2001.

the first manned shuttle ever to launch into space- the vostok in 1961- had a space for the crew around 6 feet (2.3 m) in diameter. the first manned shuttle to carry three people at once- the voskhod in 1964- was practically the exact same size, and required the crew to forego spacesuits in order for all three of them to fit.

the death engine is... well. a hell of a lot bigger than either of them. we never get a picture of it in its entirety, but from what we see both in photographs as well as the visible space in person, the docking bay alone probably has more space than both of those ships combined. which makes sense, as it is a satellite and not exclusively a flight vessel.

... but the death engine still had a crew of three to man it for however long it was intended to be in immediate use. three people, solaris only being one of them.

as if that wasn't bad enough on its own, the other two assistants who tagged along weren't professionals, but intern astronauts- making it rather obvious why none of them survived as long as solaris herself did. before she discovers who the agent is, she assumes them to be equally as inexperienced right out of the gate (“Okay, lesson one of space internships: You need oxygen to live”).

from these two factors alone, we can assume that solaris would have been pulling over twice her weight around the satellite regardless of whether or not her assistants were alive, and only took on more responsibility after they were killed while on duty. that's already a huge mental strain and time investment in its own right. but that's not even all of it.

astronauts need to exercise for at least two hours if they don't want to suffer muscle or bone atrophy. as a result, they need to eat more calories than they normally would on earth. sodium intake also needs to be reduced (as the human body sheds less of it in space), and vitamin d intake needs to be increased (as it can not be generated from the sun). that means, perhaps rather obviously, that their diet is very important.

unfortunately for solaris, she is stuck eating the grotesque space slop.

not only does the food ration not include the recommended amount of essential vitamins, and include a self admittedly high amount of salt, but it is unclear what it even is supposed to be.

i can only hope that vitamin d happens to be a part of the 'some essential vitamins' included, since- considering there is zero orange juice located in the orange drink- there is probably none of it to be found in there.

this isn't even mentioning the importance of sleep on a spacecraft, partnered with how difficult it is to acquire in altered gravity. and partnering that up with solaris' poor diet, and the mountain of tasks she probably has to go through just to keep everything operational?

i clown on her a lot for 'doing nothing' while the agent was meddling with her things, but this entire time she's been overworked, underfed, and presumably doing all of that on a heavily fragmented sleep schedule.

no wonder she hasn't gotten around to clearing the radiation from the docking bay. no wonder she stayed in her chair the entire time. i would have gotten the call from zor and gone straight back to fucking bed!!!

#ieytd #commander solaris #long post #but it's important. to ME. #GET HER TO BEEEED. for the love of GOD. #no wonder she's snippy on the phone. she's got a headache 🙁 and a stummyache 😟 #she's stuck on the death engine with two corpses or whatever and the worst fucking slop she's ever tasted #i went to a space museum and learned all about astronauts struggling to sleep #the artificial light of their shuttle can wake them up. or the noise. or the fact that you float right off of your bed. #undersleeping can SEVERELY compromise a mission when you aren't thinking clearly... and um. well. #i sure would call the death engine compromised

Had a horrible anxiety dream last night abt my family members berating me for things im insecure about (not something theyd typically do irl just my subconscious recycling my own fears)

Also a few times throughout the dream with no warning this random drone would show up and start pelting me with glowing green syringe darts that really hurt and I'd hafta like dodge them and upturn a table to hide behind but they were heat seeking too so it kept impaling me. It just like randomly showed up in a window and started firing at one point

Anyways I woke up in a weird headspace from all of that

#at the start of the dream i was in a surreal minecraft biome #and the drones first appearance was as a floating flower mob that shot syringe thorns at me through the brightly colored foliage #the second appearance it was a normal drone #later in the dream i was in this fancy 1700s museum and tried to play the piano but the keys were all in this weird arrangement #and my nails were too long to play

Discover ‘Dreamed Japan, Images of the Floating World’, an immersive journey into the environment of the masters of Japanese prints.

This production was inspired by the Japanese prints that began to circulate in Europe in the second half of the nineteenth century and became a large source of inspiration for many Western artists.

This contemplative exhibition by the Danny Rose Studio also pays homage to Van Gogh's fascination with the "Japonisme" and how the 19th japanese prints played a great influence on the dutch artist.

idk how i hadn't noticed before but what on earth is the cyan energy liquid used to power literally all vandelay tech (and korsica's). thats never brought up whcih is fair i guess. they were busy and also kale erased the energy crisis solving thing from the history you get to see. i just would really like to know anyway

#my post #rushposting #chais mp3 player is floating in it. korsicas got visible tubes of it on her tech #and the museum power plant is full of it #and the enemy energy swords are probably made of it or a derivative? same color...

so we're all going through it now huh?

#jane watches stuff #midnight museum #khathadome #just a whole lot of brotherly longing #some really good platonic yearning #just watching someone sleep in a friendly manner #let me be delulu for a sec here though #triphob calling them brothers doesn't make it so #last time i checked brothers didn't just float ashore amidst a floatsam and jetsam of corpses #pls gmmtv at least make it ambiguous

Whilst the met gala is trending anyone in London right now needs to get their asses to the exhibit going on in Kensington palace because the adverts are really not making it clear how many iconic met gala looks they have in the exhibit. I saw the Blake Lively Statue of Liberty dress in person and I nearly cried from joy when I spotted it.

#met gala #met gala 2023 #blake lively #it’s a paid exhibit but 100% worth it #there’s also a lot of billy porter looks floating around the London museums #I’m not sure how we ended up with so many #did we steal them? #it would be on brand
