Nya:wëh sgë:nö' gagwe:göh! Hello everyone!
I've been on this website for a hot minute so I guess it's time to finally make one of these!
Some main info:
♤ Ace/Atticus - I've mainly transitioned to only using the name Ace, aside from the few people online who know me as Atticus
♤ He/him pronouns only (unless I state otherwise)
♤ 21 years old
♤ Taken by my lovely girlfriend @sm-memes <33
♤ EST/EDT Timezone (UTC−05:00)
I use this website for me and me alone. Welcome to the Thunderdome.
I'm always down to chat/make friends, but please read more if you don't know me already and want to interact!
𓅰 𓅬 𓅭 𓅯 𓅮
𓊖 Limits: 𓊖
♤ I am over 18, meaning some of my posts will be 18+; They won't be overly NSFW, typically joke posts, but don't follow me if you don't want to see 18+ posts at all. Drugs and alcohol will likely be mentioned on this blog as well.
♤ I am not in support of "Endogenic systems" or any similar ableist terms. You can respectfully disagree/not bring it up to me if you don't want to argue, but that is and will be my opinion.
♤ No true DNI; If you don't like what I post, my views, or my labels, just don't follow or interact with me lol. I use the block button freely with nasty/stupid people.

♤ I'm an indigiqueer transmasc dogboy.
♤ I am a college student (currently majoring in Fisheries & Wildlife, hoping to minor in Ornithology :]) so I'm not always active on Tumblr.
♤ I only have a few tags, such as [#art <33] which is art I enjoy, and [#nsft] which are heavier 18+ reblogged posts. Most are self explanatory or simply my thoughts.
♤ I do have a discord, but I'd prefer that to be asked for. I'm free to communicate through Tumblr DM's until then.
♤ I use both mobile and desktop Tumblr.

♤ I usually don't mind being asked/answering questions, as long as I'm comfortable.
The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.
I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!
I blame him (at least partially) for the rise in anti-indian racism in the late 2010s to today and people look at me like I'm the friend who's too woke when I say that. But it's true
and you’d be right to blame him. he normalized the rise in anti-indian and anti-desi racism through “jokes.” it took me forever to take pride in my indian heritage bc of the culture he helped set up.
nah, you’re exactly the right amount of woke with this take because you’re on the money. part of what makes racists and xenophobes feel “justified” in their disdain and dehumanization of indians is by sweeping a broad brush over us and saying all scam callers are nefarious indians when scam calling is a global issue and people are often tricked/trafficked into it with no way to leave, some people are even beaten for not earning money in the scams or not wanting to take part. india has one of the largest populations so, statistically, we tend to be very visible in some industries and people will stupidly think we are the only ones doing it or we all do it when realistically other populations do it in the same, or even higher, rates in proportion with their population.
another mechanism for justifying anti-indian feelings is calling us dirty and filthy, blaming the residents for the infrastructural and educational issues instead of state or local governing bodies like panchayats. when you’re seeing a joke about indians being filthy or scammers, it is a display of casual racism you’re seeing.
was at a bar and a 50+ year old drunk white woman complimented me and my friend's outfits, told us there was a campsite up in northern maryland where a lot of gay bears go to have sex in the woods. we asked her how she knew about this and she very aggressively said "because i'm a FAG HAG!!! but i'm not allowed to say that anymore I GUESS!!!"
A Book of Creatures by @a-book-of-creatures doesn't update these days but is another thing along these lines, really huge, fully illustrated all by the author and cites all sources
