The fact that the moon appears to perfectly cover the sun during an eclipse is an insane coincidence of time and space that doesn't happen on other planets. If you live within driving distance of the path of totality you can see it happen on April 8! It's the last American solar eclipse until 2044! Just be prepared for horrendous traffic.

im only ~2 hours from totality so like of course i cannot miss this celestial opportunity!!! currently making plans and requesting time off. if ur even like 5 hours away or less i think u should go all the way to get to totality. it is so special. dont forget to account for traffic when estimating travel plans

even when you think it’s not worth it, because you saw one a few years ago anyway… you still should watch the eclipse because space is always cool but more importantly how neat is it to share in the collective awe of something beautiful

the round little pinholes in the shadow turn into crescents at eclipse time ! this is great if you’re a horrible procrastinator like me and your local hy-vee is out of eclipse glasses <3

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)

in Chrome is going to settings --> privacy and security --> site settings --> JavaScript. Under "not allowed to use JavaScript" add the sites you want to access. This is the only trick I've found that works 100% of the time. Video players and widgets that use JavaScript won't work of course but if you want to read something without a pop-up telling you to turn off your adblocker followed by another pop-up saying you've reached your article limit this will do it.
