holding space

It's a term used in recovery circles. It's just listening to someone share without daydreaming, interrupting, or offering advice. You know, actually paying attention. Not folding laundry.

The subject matter is likely of a serious nature which is why it wants to be heard in a serious manner. It's just symmetry between talking and listening.
I appreciate you holding space for me while I got that shit off my chest.

Blanco Space Shuttle

Blanco Space Shuttle is (as it implies) a space shuttle built by UltimateBlanco99 as a result to power their space lagoon, a giant cargo ship that has been built in space in minecraft and used to store all of UltimateBlanco's weapons, defenses and armor

UltimateBlanco99 teamed up with Osamabinlagden767 and TrumpGamerZ to build Blanco's Space Shuttle and Space Lagoon, but they unfortunately died by a random ass creeper that spawned in the Space Shuttle and blew both of them up
There it is! The Blanco Space Shuttle!

blow that shit up right now

safe space

A distant corner of the galaxy where various strange alien lifeforms take refuge to escape the marginalisation they routinely experience from Roscosmos (under Putin) and NASA (under Trump, a Putin toady).

The atmosphere, or whatever little of it exists in safe space, tends to be a cross between 10 Forward of Star Trek and the Cantina from Star Wars. On a busy night, expect to encounter at least five or six genders and a wide array of alien lifeforms.
The few available expanses of safe space in this galaxy are getting crowded as interplanetary travellers are being increasingly marginalised as "illegal aliens". If it isn't Martians feeling alienated by the Mercury Theatre of the Air and their War of the Worlds, it's Mercury or Saturn experiencing depression as Trump proclaims "we don't need their cars". And then there are the attempts to police the gender of life forms on other planets, based largely on asinine self-help books where authors from ersatz second-rate colleges philosophise with daft theories that men are from Mars or women from Venus.

Eventually it gets wearisome, leading oppressed and marginalised planets to take refuge in whatever safe space the universe offers. In an ideal series of worlds, this would not be necessary, but the situation is light-years away from full respect for diversity, equity and inclusion for interplanetary voyagers, leaving the safe space an unfortunate necessity.
