In case there was any confusion.

one day, you will find yourself being loved by entirely new people and wonder why you were ever worried you’d never find them
Image description: a stylized illustration of a black bat on a white background. The artist's signature is in red in the lower right corner (I think that's Chinese but I could be wrong, I'm still learning to tell the different east Asian languages apart--I'm basing my guess off the fact that one of the symbols used is one I've seen while playing mahjong and I'm pretty sure mahjong is Chinese. My apologies to the op/artist if I'm wrong, please let me know if I'm wrong so I can correct this)
It is still wild to me that I legitimately have to research in a bikini in order to effectively collect data.
And the reason being is that people (of all genders equally) perceive me as a threat otherwise.

Threat vs not a threat
People have said before that they are concerned I’m gonna get them in trouble, but I think the real reason folks get mean is that tourists effectively enter a liminal space when they go on vacations (especially American tourists on tropical vacations) and they don’t want anything to pull them out of that mindset.
So when I show up with a clipboard and wanting to talk while wearing an outfit that clearly says “I’m working, but not in any sort of position that exists in your vacation fantasy,” that pulls them out of the fantasy and they react negatively.
Meanwhile, if I’m dressed the same way everyone else is, even if I have a clipboard and want to talk about the same thing, I automatically become a wacky NPC who is part of the fantasy.
I no longer hear “It’s really weird that you’re just out here watching people” but instead “You get to lay on the beach all day and call it “work?” Hell yeah! Living the dream!”
Yes I study raccoons. The critically endangered pygmy raccoons like to live at beach clubs. My current study is looking at interactions between tourists and/or tourism industry staff and the raccoons.
Surely this is just environmental camouflage that let's you get closer to your subjects?
It's just as valid as when wildlife photographers cover themselves in netting with twigs and leaves attached or hide inside a fake rock right?
I love how we all glossed over the idea of a pygmy raccoon
Yeah, this is Mama, a full grown pygmy raccoon. They are a completely separate species than common raccoons. Their scientific name is Procyon pygmaeus and they are a critically endangered species. There are only around 120 left in the world and they are only found in the island of Cozumel in Mexico. I, tumblr user raccoonmilf and the creator of Dashcon, am the only United States citizen legally allowed to research them. I am currently studying how pygmy raccoons are impacted by direct human activity within the tourism industry.

I know, right? Everything is nuts. Probably best to put on something fun and silly. I hear Doctor Who is pretty great 😉
Also almost every country has laws restricting or outright banning disabled people from immigrating. They explicitly state we're "burdens" they don't want to shoulder. When everyone was joking abkut moving to Canada I had to sit there knowing I am trapped in a place that wants me dead (trans and queer) and no country will help me because they'd rather I die then burden them with my care.
"Immigrats who can contribute" is phrased to exclude disabled people :/ if we dont contribute by being smart or whatever the fuck we aren't worth helping.
idk i just feel like "it is more acceptable and in fact encouraged to mock anything enjoyed primarily by women" and "being enjoyed primarily by women does not make thing feminist and righteous" are thoughts that can and should coexist
oh and also "even if the thing is bad your criticism of it can come from a place of patronising misogyny"
Yesterday, Disney asked users on Threads to use Disney quotes to show how they are currently feeling. To say that this did not go according to Disney's plan would be an understatement 😂
They deleted the thread, but they should know that this doesn't help because now the videos are making their rounds 🤣😂
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
i feel like tumblr users are the only ones who don’t use ai. everyone else would fuck chatgpt if they could
Rewatching some of the Classic Who and reading some of the extended media made me realize I miss people calling the Doctor out on things like parents do when they hear their kids reprimanding their own children.
Like when Romana first arrived and she points out the Doctor only graduated school on his second attempt and just barley at that with a 51%. Where she pulls out the Manuel to show the Doctor how he should be flying the TARDIS and he responds with ripping up the page.
Like to the rest of the universe the Doctor is brilliant, amazing, and awesome. On Gallifrey he was the equivalent of the average kid who squeezed by in school and improvised his papers the night before assignments were due.
