Bigfoot Survey

@theelreymark is writing a book about Bigfoot and it’d be a huge help if y’all could fill out a quick, anonymous survey about Bigfoot’s appearance in pop culture!

“The purpose of this survey is to gather information on the way bigfoot is portrayed in popular culture and, by extension, perceived by the public with special interest in the way these perceptions relate to different demographics. No knowledge of bigfoot is required. Your responses are completely anonymous, but at the end of the survey, you may provide your email address if you’d be willing to allow me to contact you with follow-up questions. Your participation in this survey is voluntary, and you may stop at any time. Any responses you submit will greatly help my understanding of bigfoot’s role in popular culture, and I am eternally grateful for your help” 

Take the survey here!

Every single year the same things happens in Greece, every damn summer our country is burned, people lose their houses and families, then no one cares and the cycle repeats.

Its not just a weather issue, there is always a greater evil hidden behind all of this and nothing changes.

Last year my house almost burned, we were lucky on the last minute but I can still remember the fear of the people around me, running around and trying to help, the panicked animals and the sickening anxiety that I might lose my house and my cat.

Funny how when people think about Greece all they talk about is our economic crisis and shitty politicians (and even dare to act like they know everything about those matters), yet for some strange reason, when it comes to the refugee crisis, the tensions with Turkey or the fire catastrophes, silence ensues.

I’m positive that if it were a stronger country or a “popular” one getting burned, everyone would magically transform into Mother Teresa and pray, cry and reblog everything they can.

But no, this is Greece, the “joke of Europe”, or, as all fandoms here know it, “that one ancient country with the really cool mythology and gods”. No future or innocent people to worry about, right?

[asherlockstudy]

This is so true. I did a test yesterday: I reblogged posts about the Fire in both my blogs (one of them being a Greece travel blog, fancy that), overall potential of 6000 followers. The number of reblogs I got was disheartening. And the vast majority was from Greek followers.

Had I reblogged something pale in comparison about USA, or at least UK or at the very least France, people would be all over it. 

Had I reblogged an idiotic headcanon about Apollo or Athena or an 100% accurate analysis of Achilles and Patroclus’s relationship, people would reblog like crazy “oh wow how cool that is” .

I had photos of Santorini island and Ancient temples in my queue and they were posted, obviously getting more attention than the people and houses being on fire, right NOW.  Because bucket list goals, duh. 

Speculations about if it’s Alexander’s tomb found in Egypt these days got like 300000 notes. 

No one gives a shit about Greeks nowadays. No one gives a shit about small or weak countries. No one gives a shit about something that doesn’t affect them personally. I saw a Portuguese person reblogging the post because they said last year when Portugal was on fire, nobody cared and they didn’t want the same thing to happen to Greece. I feel terribly sorry and I salute that person. 

And one more thing: those of you who claim you love Greece, Greek mythology, you are Philhellenes, you can explain in detail how Leonidas’ sacrifice affected the invasion of the Persians in the European continent or you even eat Gyros and dance Syrtaki, here’s a secret, you don’t know shit about Greece. Literally nothing. 

Many of you might wonder “okay what is this sudden outburst, where did all this come from”. But I don’t care if it seems out of place. I know where it comes from and fellow Greeks know where it comes from. And that’s enough for me right now. 

And you might wonder: “Ok are we obliged to love Greece?”. Of course not. You don’t have to love Greece. So don’t claim you do either because you do not really know shit about her. (it’s a she.) 

In case anyone cares, there are more than 74 people dead, over 150 severely or critically injured and more than 600 houses burnt to the ground. 

[birdylion]

I mean this as a honestly legit question from a non-greek European to you, the people affected by it:

What do you think are the best ways to help?

Other than simply caring (although what I get from your posts is that this too is a rare thing and I’m sorry to hear that). Because, caring about something is important and good, but for me what matters most are the actions caring leads to.

So, what actions can I take that would help you and the wildfire situation?

[pripecias]

i never talk about these things but i can’t remain silent.

i know tumblr doesn’t give a SHIT when things happen in countries outside the “most popular ones” (such as the usa & england). it’s true, don’t lie to me. y’all don’t give A FUCK. not every issue and problem in said countries gets the appropriate exposure but in general shit shows up on the news WORLD FREAKING  WIDE. you set up donations, you help out, your spread the word, you say “pray for x”……

southern europe is burning. 

my country is burning.

people are dying - at home, on the road, trying to run away, in their cars.

yesterday my country had 300 active fires.

people are losing EVERYTHING they own.

i have a friend that is on a train right now passing through places that have been burnt to the ground and she says the smoke is so intense it’s getting inside the train and she can barely breathe.

and yet, even though several people (myself included) have been trying to bring awareness to what has been happening in southern europe… what we get from most of you, those not part of the countries suffering, is silence. we don’t ask for money, we don’t ask for shit other than a reblog to spread awareness… something you can delete in 24/48hrs if you wish. 

i don’t know what to tell you. i’m angry. i’m frustrated. i’m disappointed. i feel like i’m screaming into the void. “a reblog does nothing” - you know that’s a damn lie, you know exposure always helps, you know people start paying attention when posts on social media become popular. my country in particular is a small one, we get ZERO exposure. y’all are only starting to figure out we even fucking exist bc of the shit we’ve been winning lately. 

but hell, if the EU doesn’t give a shit, why should some user on tumblr dot com?

again, i don’t know what to tell you so i’ll let the images speak for themselves:

This is fucking important. I am glad someone fucking spoke about this and said what they had to say. The damage is terrible, and all the evergreen, stone, even the ground is black. I was fucking terrified when Croatia was burning. The fire was near a village where I like and I thought it will burn down. I thought the church will burn down. I thought the cemetery where my grandpa is buried will burn. I still remember the smell of smoke, and when I went to check how bad is fire, my clothes and hair and skin all stunk of smoke. It didn’t go away for weeks.

This is NASA’s picture of Croatia and Montenegro burning. My fucking country was burning. Fucking reblog this. I don’t care that it isn’t UK or US, or that it doesn’t go with your blog, fucking. Reblog. It.

Holy shit

[neurodivergent-crow]

Hello please don’t blame individuals for their country’s news outlets refusing to cover things. This is awful and we do care, we just need to be told it’s happening.

[never---knows---best]

This shit is happening and our “news” outlets deign to report on such inconsequential things as the shenanigans of celebrities instead, and it is INFURIATING.

[ravynfyre]

NORTHERN Europe is burning, too. There are major droughts and massive heat hitting all of Europe right now, and everything is in danger over there.

[ironbite4]

But global warming is just a myth right?

[hanzobow]

american media is focused on the daily life of donald trump, people handing money to the kardashians, and ariana grande’s bruised organs. it is not our fault that the media is corrupt. don’t be condescending and please just inform us.

The FCC will soon vote to kill net neutrality. But Congress can stop them if they hear from constituents now.

Yesterday afternoon the House subcommittee that provides Congressional oversight for the FCC held an important hearing about the agency’s current plans, including current Chairman (and former Verizon lawyer) Ajit Pai’s move to gut Title II net neutrality protections that prevent ISPs from controlling what we do online with throttling, censorship, and extra fees.

With Capitol Hill’s attention now on the FCC, and Pai’s final plan to gut net neutrality protections expected in the coming weeks, it’s extra important that Congress gets flooded with phone calls from Internet users telling them to stand up and defend the open Internet.

We’re also hearing there are key members of Congress considering whether to step in and force Pai to slow down. This means best chance to stop the FCC from breaking the fundamental principle that makes the Internet awesome is to pound Congress with phone calls right now.

You can call your reps easily with just one click here: battleforthenet.com

You’ll see a script on your screen, or you can say something like this:

“I support Title Two net neutrality rules and I urge you to oppose the FCC’s plan to repeal them. Specifically, I’d like you to contact the FCC Chairman and demand he abandon his current plan.”

You can also just call this number directly and enter your zipcode to get connected to your legislators: 202-930-8550.

If you run a website, blog, tumblr, or forum, help spread the word by putting up a sticky post, or use one of these widgets, ads, or banners: https://www.battleforthenet.com/#join

Ajit Pai is expected to circulate the text of his rule killing net neutrality on November 22, the day before Thanksgiving. Once that happens, it will move to a vote at the FCC’s open meeting in December, and it will become much much harder to stop him.

It’s clear that the FCC remains set on killing net neutrality. But Congress can stop the FCC from gutting the rules that keep the web open, affordable, and awesome.

Tin-Foil theory

Shiro lost to Zarkon on the astral plane and Zarkon is the one inhabitating thus new Shiro. -Reasoning- •Zarkon has 10k+ years of practice in both combat and ruling, hard to think he'd lose that easily to anyone, even Shiro. •what reason could the black lion have for getting rid of its pilot(ie shiro). Well if shiro lost his mind to Zarkon then it's obvious that he couldn't lead voltron anymore. •Zarcon didn't "disappear" like shiro but instead "fell ill" with something that even 10k+ yr old haggar couldn't identify, but what if Zarkon us really just wrestling with the astral plane still to possess shiros body. •Shiro is right handed as can be seen when he tried to go for the tableware in the scene before the food fight, yet in "The journey" when shiro is about to go over a cluff with hus ship, Shiro reaches for the gun with his left hand, and later on tosses the gun with his left hand. Of course this is contested when he holds the gun in his right hand a scene later, but that could just be a dependence on galra tech and power. •speaking of hands, in episode seven of season 3 during the table scene with the original paladins you can see zarkon handing his cups to one of the servants, what hand you may ask, his left one of course. Now this bit is not based on evidence as there's very little to go on in one episode, but this points to this new shiro and zarkon sharing dominant hands. Just a theory but it could have some merit, what do you guys think.

[camfirehawk]

So am I the only one wondering wether ludo was just imagining that his hand told him that the choir was off key, or if toffee legitimately chimed in just to spite those children in particular.

Okay so time passes differently in Hekhapoo's dimension, as in a year in that dimension is roughly 30 secs in earth dimension. So Star and Marco go back through the portal and 17 seconds later Hekhapoo opens a portal and delivers that amazing line. In short, I'm saying that hekhapoo waited for roughly 7 months to say that and THAT is commitment.

As much as I love the idea of villain!deku, I want more of thief!deku, where he's not completely fallen to villainy but gets involved in the crime world anyway. Even better if he's a bit like jacuzzi, not exactly the super competent leader type but he draws in everybody around him. They got similar personalities and everything so it wouldn't even be that much of a stretch.

You know you have a problem when you start to confuse things from fanfiction as being canon because you’ve read it in so many fanfics.

How am I just now noticing this. Ludo's beard is just like his dad's. Not only that but the fact that he grew that beard so fast makes me think that he constantly shaves it off as to not look like his father.
