The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

unfuckablebogtroll

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

#worst part of the year: when the days are long and hot enough that the nights feel disgusting instead of refreshing #are nights cool in the summertime other places?#either way i think im just a regular old heat wimp regardless

COVER REVEAL! our talented designer, Miss Nat Mack, had to fit in a lot of discordant imagery such as: spider centaurs, medieval times, beetle aliens, goddesses, spaceships, tentacled brain slugs, and of course, m/m erotiscism.

the book's not out until next March, so pre-order links are still going live, but I'll list the early ones under the readmore:

I do wonder if my publisher wanted to de-emphasize the spider content, because the cover and sales blurb don't focus on that at all. which would make it funny that I've been advertising it by shouting SPIDER!!!! SPIDER!!! SPIDER SEX IN THIS!! MAN FUCKS A SPIDER!!!!

Need y’all to know that in the 1970’s a letter to the editor was published in Daily Telegraph where the author offhandedly used the phrase “Tolkien-like gloom” to describe an area with barren trees and JRRT himself wrote back an incensed rebuttal at the use of his name in a context that suggested anything negative about trees.

“I feel that it is unfair to use my name as an adjective qualifying ‘gloom’, especially in a context dealing with trees. In all my works I take the part of trees as against all their enemies”

He was like how dare you sir I am the biggest tree fan out there

A tree tried to eat the hobbits. Tom Bombadil had to save them. There's Mirkwood, "The Forest of Great Fear." I'm on the side of the writer of the letter to the editor.

great-and-small

Because Tolkien is Tolkien, he actually directly defended the actions of all his forests and trees in this same letter I’m referencing

This is the best thing in the entire world. Here is a transcript:

Beautiful place because trees are loved From Prof. J.R.R. TOLKIEN SIR—with reference to your leader of June 29, I feel that it is unfair to use my name as an adjective qualifying “gloom,” especially in a context dealing with trees. In all my works I take the part of trees as against all their enemies. Lothlorien is beautiful because there the trees were loved; elsewhere forests are represented as awakening to consciousness of themselves. The Old Forest was hostile to two-legged creatures because of the memory of many injuries. Fangorn Forest was old and beautiful, but at the time of the story tense with hostility because it was threatened by a machine-loving enemy. Mirkwood had fallen under the domination of a Power that hated all living things, but it was restored to beauty and became Greenwood the Great before the end of the story. It would be unfair to compare the Forestry Commission with Sauron because, as you observe, it is capable of repentance; but nothing it has done that is stupid compares with the destruction, torture and murder of trees perpetrated by private individuals and minor official bodies. This savage sound of the electric saw is never silent wherever trees are still found growing. J.R.R. TOLKIEN Merton College, Oxford

"Old Man Willow did nothing wrong" is not the Tolkien take I expected today, but I'm here for it.

For a city to be walkable. It must also be sittable.

#every time I read this phrase the same thing happens#I read it as shittable and go wait that can't be right#oh right they were talking about public benches that makes more sense#but public bathrooms available without fees should also be a thing tho#cities should definitely be shittable#it happens EVERY SINGLE TIME

it must also be shittable

The other day on shift, I was walking down the hallway when a confused old man started yelling. This is fairly common in the hospital, so I ducked into his room and was like "hey dude what's up" and he's like "so sorry to yell but do you know where I am and what year it is" so I reoriented him to a bunch of stuff and explained why so many people were walking past his door, and he seemed much calmer and more oriented by the time we were done talking. And he says "and what's your name?" So I tell him "Sarah" and he stares at me so I repeat "Sarah" and he stares at me so I spell "S-A-R-A-H" and he stares at me so I show him my name badge and he stares at me and then he says "now forgive me for being so blunt. But I was under the impression that Sarah is a girls name. Is that no longer correct?"

Anyway y'all ever be so fucking gnc that you inadvertently gaslight a confused old man into thinking there's yet another part of the world he no longer understands?

i don’t think a lot of people understand how important it is to me that Ryland Grace, the main character from a popular book and movie, being commonly headcanoned as aroace with little to no romance involved. his relation to rocky as a companion and best friend is the relationship that people talk about the most. the power of friendship saved the day with no unnecessary b-plot romance. local man loved humanity and his alien best friend so much he saved both of their galaxies and planets. that’s so awesome, sometimes i’d never thought i’d see something like this

#sorry to add a non-aroace perspective to an aroace post #but I also alway really liked this #If youve read all three of andy weirs books you might know #of his three protagonists #only one of them is romantically involved #(the fact she is also the only woman maybe could be a conversation of its own but i digress)#im someone who loves romance in my books and doesnt mind sex BUT #there have been (many) times when its felt inappropriately prioritized beyond its narrative and thematic significance #andy weir has shown the world that a story without romance is neither contrived nor lacking in interpersonal and emotional quality #in fact i personally think artemis (his one story with SPOILER both a romance plot and sex) actually shows that romance can be involved and #significant even when its only strictly included to the degree its narratively significant #jaz at the beginning of the story has only one long distance friend is estranged from her father and trusts almost no one #at the end she learns not everyone hates her patches up multiple relationships and is able to connect with someone inaway she wouldnt before #but all of that only accounts for a portion of the text as it is only a portion of the story #similarly #marks interpersonal relationships #which dont particularly develope but are instead expressed thruout the story #are the reason hes able to be saved #ryland is stated to have had someone in the past that didnt work out but was canonnically content with his life even having no romance #his storyline is also fundementally about being saved by his emotional connection to others (rocky and eridians)#these interpersonal relationships are so rich and engaging that the ‘lack’ of romance doesnt even occur to the reader #this is andy weirs gift to modern literature ❤️
