I'm Alice and this is a multifandom, multicontent blog (on its better days). I use tags to rant. Don't hold it against me. Greek. This user is the owner of strong opinions, often correct ones :P

Pinned post

(Updated April. 16, 2026)

Currently mostly posting about:

Hudson and Rex (apologies)

Some politics

Crime shows (yes, all of them /j)

Severance (mostly when it's airing)

Some random Greek mythology

Rants rants rants

I'd prefer it if minors didn't follow because when I write the post, I won't think, "Is this content suitable for minors?" at all. I might think to censor my posts but for other reasons. I also frequently use curse words. Having said that, I can't do anything to stop you and I rarely check ages on bios.

My normal tv content is crime shows.

Every time I write my opinion on something relevant to Greek mythology, you should mentally add a "speaking as a Greek" in front of every sentence. And I will be annoying about it. I have spent way more time on the subject than a lot of you have. That doesn't make me right all the time. Just most of the time.

PS: If you came here with questions, from getting a like/reblog from me when your post wasn't tagged, I use the old tumblr search system. Like a weirdo. It gives me search results and not tag results.

why bother caring about the environment when 1. It’s so obviously a lost cause and 2. There’s definitely going to be a nuclear war?

And what are you doing about it Anon? Learn about ecological restoration or get out of my way.

[elbiotipo]

If you read ecology books printed in the 70s and 80s, they were absolutely convinced that whales and tigers would not survive the century. There's a whole plot in Star Trek about how whales are extinct actually. Here in Argentina, we were sure that yaguaretés would have gone extinct. It was thought that rainforests would be forever lost, because there was no way that such complex ecosystems would be restored.

Now, you can go to Península Valdés and find that the whale population there is growing year after year, people can see them from their windows. In Iberá, where yaguaretés were extinct for over 70 years, there's now a population of 35 and growing, after being reintroduced just five years ago. As for rainforests?

We've becoming very, very good on restoring them. Natural environments, when given space and time to heal, can return to that they were. And after all, all natural enviroments are managed by human societies. It is up to us to implement a good management, un buen gobierno.

I firmly believe our children and grandchildren will see a restoration of Earth like never before.

Millions of people are working on this. You can learn about it, perhaps even become one of them. Or be a pointless doomer in my ask box. Your choice.

if there are people who care, it's never a lost cause. at one point, kākāpō, a nocturnal flightless parrot species from aotearoa, were thought to be entirely extinct for decades. until 1977, where booming calls from males were heard on the small island of whenua hou. now, thanks to people who care so much they dedicated their lives to caring, kākāpō numbers are close to 300. despite the setbacks. despite the small gene pool causing infertility and health problems. people cared so fucking much that they survived. this is one of COUNTLESS, countless similar stories. I'm studying ecology so that I can go into conservation and all around me, every day, I see people who care enough to put years of their lives into learning about and solving environmental problems. I don't know man. hope isn't just some nebulous thing. it's tangible if you do something with it.

Tim Wong saw the decline of the pipeline swallowtail butterfly, and dedicated himself to providing habitat and raising babies, and it worked.

Spix's Macaws were extinct in the wild for 70 years, and now captive breeding and conservation groups have reintroduced a small population (with more on the way) and there are babies being successfully raised in the wild again.

And what else is there, but hope? We exist for the grace of hope. Those who have lost all hope don't stay here. If you are here to send an ask like this, it is not because you have given up, it's that you are hoping someone will show you that that hope is worth having.

It is!! It always is!!

There will be good things and if you cannot find them, make them! The time will pass anyway, you can choose what to do with it, and so many, many people are choosing to try to help.

The Lord Howe Island rodent eradication project never fails to make me cry, it’s so beautiful.

The population of an entire island working together to eradicate every last rat and mouse to save the native bird populations. They had to trap a bunch of the birds and keep them in captivity so they wouldn’t be hurt by the rodenticides, and released them after the rodents were gone. Normal residents helped by phoning in tips whenever they saw rodents. And they did it. Lord Howe Island, last I read, remains rodent free, and the native bird populations are rebounding!

Acid rain and the hole in the ozone layer, both of which were terrifying specters of my childhood, have been largely dealt with. Ecosystems devastated by acid rain are also recovering.

We are making a difference!

In 1979, an audacious, expensive conservation project was begun to try and breed california condors in captivity toward being released into the wild again. This was considered useless and hopeless by many people, but many more people said we had to at least TRY.

In 1991, the first captive-raised condors were re-introduced to Big Sur, Pinnacles, and Bitter Creek.

In 2006, three months before I turned eighteen, the first wild pair of condors was seen nesting in Big Sur in over a hundred years. A hundred years.

We did that. We fixed it.

How about another example.

When my mom was small, in the 1960s, there were many, many days of the year she was not allowed outside. Days and days they had recess indoors, because the air was so poisonous to breathe. Here's an article about it, with some good pictures.

My mom was 13 in the picture on the left. She was 50 in the picture on the right.

In 1987, there were 27 California Condors in the world, all captive.

In 2024, there were 566.

369 of them fly free.

That happened within my lifetime, and I'm not even 40 yet.

When you lose hope, think of our stories we're telling you. Recount them to yourself like a prayer. That's what I do.

There are 369 California Condors flying free in the sky right now.

There is no more acid rain.

There is an ozone.

There are wild tigers.

There are still birds on Lord Howe Island.

There are 369 California Condors flying free.

Black footed ferrets were considered completely extinct in 1979. Then we found a single den in Wyoming in 1981. In 1996 it was classified as extinct in the wild.

By 2013, there were approximately 1,200 living wild, across 18 dens. Their numbers increase regularly, and while the face challenges due to habitat loss, climate change, and their limited genetic diversity, they're in a much better place than they were.

Because people cared, and they worked, and they fought to make things better.

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.

OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.

And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

Be careful about scams regarding Tumblr verification

None of this is real, if you're tagged on a post like this please report the account.

And yes, the gazillion numbers after "support" kind of give it away but you'd be surprised how many people fall for it.

I was tagged by this account

Now, I don't know if that's a stolen account, it might be, but whatever it is, it is now operated by a scammer. Do not engage, either report or block.

"I don't think I ever see you as happy as when we are at this restaurant." Does that mean this restaurant was their go-to spot for date nights?

I love Rex's expression when Charlie is whispering whatever obscene thing in Sarah's ear. He looks like he actually understands what's being said lol. Poor Rex. That's also a very self-satisfying smirk from Charlie, if I've ever seen one. Whatever he reminded her about must've been a fond memory.

The way they try to hid from Chief Archer is funny, but it also does not make much sense. How are hiding behind them menus supposed to work? He is sitting behind them. Also, they have Rex with them, which means they are already sticking out, because dogs are generally not allowed in restaurants. "What is he doing here?" Oh, I don't know, Charlie? What do you usually do at restaurants? Eat? Honestly though, I doubt Chief Archer would have even cared enough about two SJPD employees having dinner, that he would bother to tell anyone about it. And it's not like they were doing anything suspicious or indecent anyway. And it will be a moot point in a few seconds anyway, because he's gonna be busy getting poisoned. At the end of the episode, Jesse also says he saw Charlie and Sarah on the CCTV, but like, what gave them away? They weren't doing anything other than having dinner, that would give away their relationship status. Unless they were going all PDA off-screen before the episode started lol.

Anyway, I find this scene unintentionally funny, in a good way.

Hudson and Rex: Makes a video using a clip where Charlie toasts in front of the team "To family".

*One year earlier*

Hudson and Rex: Charlie Hudson? Don't know him. We're past him. Over him. May we interest you in a Mark Hudson?

Reasons for hope: Lots of amazing people did a ton of work to make this fantastic, fully interactive resource available - because no matter how bleak things seem, there are millions, and millions of people doing everything they can to protect both the world and their own communities.

You can use this to view and subscribe to updates, project statuses, and for at least some of them even whole dossiers. This is an amazing resource, I highly recommend checking it out

CBS, it's 2026. For fucks sake.

[alicepao13]

Lol, nothing better than a great rerun eh?

How many times did she search "Hudson and Rex" so that it would be suggested to her lol

"Great rerun" - If it's so great, why did she spent a year saying that the new partnership was better?

No excuse not to watch except for the entire shitfest of last year which might have turned people off...

PS: I wonder if Netflix will make a Rex avatar.

PPS: Is her avatar some kind of cryptid?

PPPS (last one): This shows exactly what her priorities are. Money is number one. She spent a year making disparaging remarks to belittle this era of the show and this bond but once Netflix bought it (and if it brings them revenue, they'll buy the rest too) she suddenly has no problem with it.

The entire marketing strategy for S8 now is, "Please celebrate John Reardon's return by watching S8". You can't make this shit up.

[charliexsarah]

I know we don't know for sure, so it would just be making a guess but what did Charlie whisper in Sarah's ear when they were at the sushi restaurant?

[alicepao13]

Given his self-satisfied smirk after he said whatever he said to her, he was recounting one of his proudest moments of making Sarah happy lol

He can't keep getting away with this 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨
