gutsandeverything:

do you think the vengeful spirits of eight american monkeys that blew up in space ever haunt everyone who’s obsessed with laika. because i would if i didn’t get even one shitty poem

I would not say I’m obsessed with Laika, I am not someone who researches space as a special interest, I’m just a person who knows space exploration facts if they happen to reach me organically

but Laika certainly did, and I have had wistful thoughts about her on occasion

and my life definitely sometimes feels like it’s being haunted by at least eight monkeys

time to do some research

….crap

… unfortunately my circus. Unfortunately my monkeys.
