GREAT SEA STORY

The passenger steamer SS Warrimoo was quietly knifing its way through the waters of the mid-Pacific on its way from Vancouver to Australia. The navigator had just finished working out a star fix and brought Captain John DS. Phillips, the result. The Warrimoo’s position was LAT 0º 31’ N and LONG 179 30’ W. The date was 31 December 1899. “Know what this means?” First Mate Payton broke in, “We’re only a few miles from the intersection of the Equator and the International Date Line”. Captain Phillips was prankish enough to take full advantage of the opportunity for achieving the navigational freak of a lifetime.

He called his navigators to the bridge to check & double check the ship’s position. He changed course slightly so as to bear directly on his mark. Then he adjusted the engine speed. The calm weather & clear night worked in his favor. At mid-night the SS Warrimoo lay on the Equator at exactly the point where it crossed the International Date Line! The consequences of this bizarre position were many:

The forward part (bow) of the ship was in the Southern Hemisphere & in the middle of summer. The rear (stern) was in the Northern Hemisphere & in the middle of winter. The date in the aft part of the ship was 31 December 1899. In the bow (forward) part it was 1 January 1900. This ship was therefore not only in:

Two different days, Two different months, Two different years, Two different seasons But in two different centuries - all at the same time!

This is not a place of honor. We buried a ton of useless poison sludge here. It shoots invisible death rays that kill you slowly, so don’t dig it up or you’ll die.

In 10,000 years we’re gonna need two signs that say this: one in front of the Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository, and one in front of whichever server Tumblr is backed up on.

my favorite thing about the cask of amontillado meme (which I LOVE) is that it displays, yet again, how difficult millennials on the internet are to predict. oh, giant company, you want your advertisement to go viral? well this week the kids are obsessed with a short story written in 1846 good fucking luck

wehaveallgotknives

oh my dear marketing man,you want me to explain how to track this? well, I could show you a chart that indicates the next five big memes. it is down in my basement, though it is quite cold, and surely you have another engagement to attend.

It’s quite likely no coincidence that that most ‘mismanaged’ and least profitable social media site is also the one that turned out to be most amenable to the formation of actual communities

apricops

To clarify, Tumblr is indeed horribly mismanaged, but notably, it’s mismanaged both in ways that harm us (e.g. doing little about pornbots, nazis, etc.) and ways that have greatly benefited us – not asking for real names, hiding our follower counts, a chronologically-sorted dashboard, etc. are big draws, but in the eyes of other social media monarchs, they look like unforgivable mistakes. If I don’t have to give my real name, that’s that much less information to sell to advertisers. If posts are listed chronologically, Tumblr can’t shove the posts of ‘influencers’ in front of me willy-nilly. Tumblr was a ‘success’ because it was too poorly managed to sufficiently atomize us, and so we actually had conversations and communities instead of being the best products for advertisers.

dragon-in-a-fez

as someone who wrote my dissertation on tumblr and community: consigned. there’s a reason people talk about facebook as a tool for keeping up with people they already know, and tumblr as a place for forming new connections, and it’s that where other social media is specifically built to profit off of sticking as many virtual tendrils into your offline life as possible, this place lets you generally just be the person you came here to be. the fact that tumblr has built such a great space for community by making decisions that are ultimately bad for their business is a great illustration of how the negative social impacts of social media giants are because of capitalism, not inherent in the category of technology.

There’s an extra aspect to it, too. This blog is an educational, science communication venture I do because I MUST! As far as Facebook is concerned, it’s a business. In fact, they recently forced my page to convert to a business account, and they have made it very clear that they are purposefully withholding my posts from the people who have chosen to follow me unless I give them money (they call it “buying ads” but let’s be honest, it’s ransom, and I’m still not a business). They continually remind me that people aren’t seeing my posts because I’m not buying ads by sending me notifications constantly. So anybody wondering where else to connect with me social media wise because you are leaving tumblr? Well, I guess you could follow my facebook page, but unless you specifically GO onto my page, you’ll never see any of my posts.

observe, my stats for the past month:

My facebook page, which is over a year old, has slightly over 100 followers. Most of those are people I personally know because they’re my friends, or they’re Texas naturalist people. The rest are you guys! The total responses I have had to EVERY post I have made on that page (comments, likes, shares, etc) is approx 200.

Compare that to the tumblr situation for the past month:

y’all. The fact that I can reach so many people talking about what I love is a big deal for me. I could never have accomplished this on a site like facebook. I couldn’t do this on wordpress. I couldn’t do this on youtube. I couldn’t do this on the myriad of other webboards and forums and websites and other formats that I have attempted and given up on over the course of my life. I’m not leaving you. I’ll be sitting on this hellsite until it collapses around me.

I’ll make a separate “Find the Fish” masterpost (if you don’t get it now, you will when I make the masterpost) with my usernames on all the sites that I actually use. Really, though, if you can remember NanoNaturalist, you can find me. Just add a dot com to the end, and that page has links to everything else.
