Wait. So the Trump administration really cut funding to the program that would research and respond to the spread of New World Screwworm past the Darién Gap because they blamed it on climate change, and left the joint international program to Mexico and the Central American Countries... And are panicking now that it's reached Texas, and only now that the flies have already made it all the way from Panama to Texas are they building New facilities to produce the sterile male flies needed to eradicate the pest?

I'm sorry to everyone who lives on the entire continent.

America is Trump's pump and dump scheme. If he's not getting a third term then he'll break the country for whatever poor soul has to clean up his mess.

New World screwworm had been eradicated from the US since the 1960s, Elon Musk brought it back in a year.

Notably, DOGE cut the funding a few days before the US resumed imports of cattle from Mexico... the imports that had been suspended because of the screwworm outbreak in Mexico. So we've had a year of importing cattle from Mexico during a screwworm outbreak without monitoring the outbreak that we already knew about. Mexico's outbreak is pretty bad btw, and cases have been found not just in cattle and dogs but also humans. I assume the rest of Central America too. Not that many people seem to give a fuck about them ig.

Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

What I want for Pride Month

[stemmehistorian]

Happy Pride Month, Black LGBTQIA Community!

No matter where, who or what we are, Black queer people have always been the originators, leaders, teachers, speakers and creators of queer history and culture across the globe. I thank and honour all Black queer people of the past and present for helping us reach where we are today and where we will go in the future. 🖤🤎

As a society, we need to go back to understanding that strangers on the internet are, you know, strangers. I feel lately that I'm seeing a rise in 'An author I love blocked me because they took my comment the wrong way' posts on the ao3 subreddit, and then the comment is them calling the author a fucking bitch or something like that.

Don't do this. Tone doesn't translate well in text, and if you don't have a rapport with that author, they are not going to interpret, 'You're a fucking bitch' as, 'Author I hate you for being so talented and making me feel so keenly.' They're going to interpret it as you being an asshole. You can shit talk with your friends because you have an established relationship with them and can distinguish between playful banter and genuine anger. You do not have this with a stranger, no matter how much you like their fics. You will have a much more pleasant time in fandom and not get cockblocked from interacting with your favorite writers if you remember this.

#I don't often see comments like these when I'm reading a fic but there have been a few that made me raise an eyebrow#I don't know if I would block over someone calling me a bitch on a fic I wrote but I'd probs try to gently tell them it's not right#coz honestly I feel like this is an issue with younger age groups who are new to reading fics and might not understand fandom culture#or at least I hope it's younger people who simply don't know better 😬#otherwise... yikes

This isn't some esoteric niche aspect of fandom culture, strangers at the potluck also do not like being called a fucking bitch.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

People in the comments like "you just need to add a /pos tone indicator to your comment!": strangers at the potluck do not like being told "You're a bitch!" with a smile and a thumbs up.

[parkchanwoohoo]

I loved this post just because all the comments flipped between sincere appreciation and mockery of the birds

It's happening again, so just to remind everyone:

TUMBLR ADS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO AUTO-PLAY AUDIO! THAT IS A BUG AND YOU SHOULD REPORT IT!

"This ad is auto-playing audio" is literally on the drop down menu for reporting an ad. Tumblr isn't trying to implement this! Don't protest this "new policy", cause it's not one.

Report the broken ads.

Thank you.

[jackson-imbecille]

They are not supposed to automatically redirect you without you clicking them, they are not supposed to cause a pop-up, they are not supposed to freeze your screen.

This is all bugs or malicious advertising which is also against tumblers ad policy. You should report all ads which do this.

Let’s get rid of those horrible monopoly ads, together.

Legal Eagle asking "are you covered to have an open flame in the studio?" and a producer worriedly yelling "we're not!" as Ally goes to light a bong they filled with real whiskey is maybe the hardest I have ever laughed at an episode of Game Changer.

sorry we've got orders to protect the royal bloodline and can't risk any illegitimate children coming to claim the throne so you gotta wear this chastity cage until you get married. it's fine tho we gave the key to your loyal knight in case there's any emergencies they're totally trustworthy

[sforzzz]

your promised consort is currently in a faraway kingdom so you and your knight have to go on this long journey to get there, just the two of you. just be sure to do whatever he says he's trained for all this has your life in his hands. if there's any issues he'll know how to handle it and everything. remember you're not permitted to be around any woman who might throw themselves at you since you're a pretty boy prince, only the knight. you'll be sharing rooms at taverns and a tent if you have to camp out. it's fine tho.

It's fun being queer and weird and unconventional until you remember you live in a society
