Normally, people tend to get frustrated, even jokingly, if they miss out on something. This comment was on a song from 1974 and it made me smile quite much. Simply appreciative. Like a dessert after dinner.
It is genuinely mind blowing to me just how many Tumblr posts have changed my life for the better and taught me to be happier. Not all of the thoughts originate on Tumblr, but the way people collect and frame them has literally changed my brain chemistry.
Learning that a lot of the most vocal, aggressive members of this fandom did not read Throne of Glass and Crescent City really puts things in to perspective.
The same people who say that SJM would never build up a romance to have a character end up with someone else never read Aelin's build-up with Chaol and Dorian, only for her to end to up with Rowan .
The same people who say that SJM would never pair a side character with a main character never read Yrene and Chaol fall in love.
The same people who say SJM only writes about woman never read Tower of Dawn.
The same people who say they know who Elain is and what she wants without her POV were never surprised with Lydia's character once we read her POV.
The same people who say that mating bonds were revealed to be corrupted in CC3 never actually read the book.
It makes so much sense now. I'm not saying that you need to read SJM's other series (although you are missing out if you don't). However, if you're going to speak with authority on what SJM would or wouldn't do, you should probably read more than one out of three series.
Lost my mojo! by DifferentPermission2
You wouldn’t think that flamingoes are extremophiles just from looking at them. It’s like somebody tried to build the vertebrate equivalent of that fungus that lives inside nuclear reactors, and ended up with a gangly pink dinosaur with a spoon for a face.
For everyone in the comments asking how flamingos are extremophiles:
Flamingos can survive in low oxygen, high altitude, high temperatures, low temperatures, high alkaline, they can and will drink boiling water and they can be completely frozen at night and still get up the next morning
Don’t fuck with flamingos
….. Didn’t know most of that
Huh… so that’s why zoos don’t put them somewhere warm during winter.
Oh yeah, this leaves out what I *did* know about them–they can also survive hypersalinity. That is, water so salty it kills practically everything else–water so salty it burns your skin.
American flamingos just drink that shit
(animal death) this is a real undoctored photograph (*though the body was stood up for the shot) of a dead flamingo on the surface of lake natron, a lake so salty and so alkaline that it’s naturally carbonated like soda and would eat through your stomach lining if you drank from it.
When this photo went viral years ago, most people assumed this poor flamingo must have been killed by the lake.
It is actually the lake where 75% of its global population are hatched. This is a photo from the same lake:
Some species of flamingo actually subsist almost entirely on a diet of bacteria! In other words, there is a species of dinosaur that eats only bacteria and lives in lakes so toxic they would kill almost anything else—and it is best known to the average person as a kitschy lawn decoration.

RATING: RELIABLE
Flamingos can survive in high altitudes, hypersaline conditions, and caustic lakes.
Source: ‘All flamingo species have evolved to live in some of the planet’s most extreme wetlands, like caustic “soda lakes”, hypersaline lagoons or high-altitude salt flats.’
They can survive water so alkaline it burns human skin.
Source: ‘More than a million lesser flamingos breed in Tanzania’s Lake Natron, for instance, a lake fed by hot springs with water so alkaline that it can strip away human skin (one pioneering flamingo researcher named Leslie Brown spent months in Nairobi General Hospital after burning his legs wading out to observe where the birds nested).’
They can drink water at near-boiling temperatures.
Source: ‘They can drink water at near boiling point to collect freshwater from springs and geysers at lake edges. If no freshwater is available, flamingos can use glands in their head that remove salt, draining it out from their nasal cavity.’
The lakes they inhabit can freeze overnight, and the flamingos can survive once it thaws in the morning.
Source: ‘The birds may seem to epitomize the tropics, but they also live in the Andes, 15,000 feet above sea level, where they rest on lakes that freeze around them overnight.
“You’ll see them sitting there like snowballs, frozen on ice,” Dr. Arengo said. “And as the temperature warms up, they thaw out, fluff themselves up and go about their business.”’
The photo is indeed from Lake Natron, taken by photographer Nick Brandt. The content of the lake chemically preserves animal corpses that die there. You can see more photos of this here.
It is also true that 75% of Lesser Flamingos are hatches on Lake Natron.
Source: ‘The lake’s landscape is surreal and deadly—and made even more bizarre by the fact that it’s the place where nearly 75 percent of the world’s lesser flamingos are born.’
Some species of Flamingo eat cyanobacteria or algae.
Source: ‘Flamingos have very specialised diets. And their food is responsible for their famous pink colouration. The two species in Planet Earth II eat a lot of floating microscopic algae, which contains carotenoid pigments, the same types of chemical that make carrots orange. These pigments turn their feathers pink, orange and red – without them, flamingos would be white.’
… @todaysbird ??
yeah they’re just like that

"but I didnt learn about the usa's wrongs in school 😢 we don't know anything cause they didn't teach us anything 😢" well no one in my school in india told me that our country is a regionally hegemonic war criminal you're just entitled and insultingly uncurious
in fact they told us completely propagandised nonsense about how pre colonial hindu kingdoms were extremely peaceful but were forced to defend themselves against regular invasions solely by muslims. this is something v easily contradicted by the foundational story of ashoka's turn to buddhist dhamma being the brutality of the kalinga war.
the point being made is school, everywhere in the world is a deeply political project and is marshalled for the purpose of nation building. you're not going to hear about the sins of your nation in any serious way at school most anywhere in the world, and expecting that it should have betrays a certain lack of uhh, street smarts. its for children and run by the govt.
HAPPY TEN YEARS OF LOVE RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!
ten years of letting the world come at you, love
ten years of your veins being empty of dust
ten years of knowing you bought your shoes from Oxfam
ten years of your hair looking better black
ten years of crying to that painted sky
ten years of a broken pot can still hold water
ten years of staring at the moon
ten years of it starting off like a pinprick, a trick of the light oil slick
ten years of showing the world we exist
ten years of what's to come, what's to come...
People gathered around lava, Iceland.

Objects as spaceships, by Eric Geusz
My favorite is the fidget spinner space station. It almost feels like someone designed it first and then fidget spinners came out and now everyone laughs at it… instead of the other way around.
It’s Eric! He was one of my best friends in highschool!
He also does series of space cats, and one of the ones floating upside down and looking at you is based on my cat Ginger :D
The kitty herself, Ginger!
He’s a super cool dude and seeing his art on tumblr is nuts!
Check out his website, which includes an area to buy prints
You can see more of his work in general on Instagram
And buy T-Shirts too!
God yeah I will hype him every chance I get lol!
don’t care didn’t ask + you’ve projected onto this character to the point that your characterisation is unrecognisable to the source material
Early Endings in BL
“A sure and early death awaits the homosexual, or so it’s been told over the last several decades.
Carriers of cultural traditions—playwrights, poets, novelists; journalists, historians, filmmakers; pastors, orators, storytellers—have replicated and embellished the myth
That the sexual deviant rightly will be erased from the earth, either at the hands of others or by his own final action.
How have narratives of lesbian and gay self-destruction been told and retold over time?
How have they come to structure and symbolize so-called mainstream conceptions of queer life?
More importantly, how have queer [individuals within specific cultures] incorporated such stories into their worldviews?
In what ways has suicide mythology created, influenced, reflected, and/or contradicted their understandings of societal strictures against homosexuality and gender nonconformity, their understandings of themselves?
How have counterdiscourses and resistances been cast?
How might the homosexual suicide narrative be seen as a representational homophobic homicide narrative?
Queer [people]…seek not only means for reconfiguring dominant, homophobic narratives, but also methods for creating and circulating [happy as well as tragic] queer stories true to [them, their times, and] their place.”
— adapted from Men Like That: A Southern Queer History by John Howard
sometimes people on here talk about "accountability" in a way that shows they think that the person they've decided is in the wrong can't actually do anything to redeem themselves other than like. suicide.
Things Accountability IS:
Apologising for the harm that you've caused.
Trying to change your behaviour.
Accepting that not everyone will forgive you and they don't have to.
Things Accountability ISN'T:
Wallowing in your guilt until you think of yourself as nothing but bad.
Accepting an overly distressing punishment for your actions.
Twisting yourself into knots to make sure everyone knows how disgusted you are by yourself.
Other people can't move on if you never do.
