Okay, we get it: authors shouldn't write female characters that 'breast boobily.' What about anime? Can we get some accountability there? Watching Gunbusters because someone recommended it, this is getting uncomfortable. #Anime

Finally, journalism that asks the real questions: Why can't astronauts poop? www.sciencedaily.com... #space #nasa #universe #astronomy #art #science #galaxy #moon #stars #spacex

Blood tests reveal why astronauts get constipated in space
Spaceflight may dramatically change the gut within weeks, causing bacteria to break down more protein as food moves more slowly through the intestines. The shift could help explain astronaut constipation and may have wider effects on health, making it an important concern for future missions to Mars.
