"there's no way toby can wrap all this up in just 2 chapters!"
toby, preparing to drop chapter 6 chapter 1:
deltarune fans in 2031 sitting through chapter 6 chapter 5 intermission 25 when they thought the whole thing would be done three years ago:
So every year, my aquarium does a captive lobster hatchery project (hence all the loblings). The reason we’re doing it is because in the wild, loblings only have a 1 in 25,000 chance of surviving their larval phase. They’re plankton as babies and everything eats them. Additionally, as the Gulf of Maine warms, they are having even lower survival rates because the blooms of copepods they feed on as babies are happening earlier in the year, and they’re missing it.
Obviously, the goal of this experiment is to grow the lobsters until they’re big enough to settle to the seabed and then release them, because they have a much higher likelihood of surviving to adulthood when they’re able to hide. Ideally, captive lobster hatcheries can boost the wild population and keep things stable, so we don’t have a major crash in a decade or two.
The first year we tried this was pretty bad. We had a lot of eggs, but very few babies. It turned out that the CO2 levels in the building spiked as more guests visited throughout the summer, and that settled into the water and threw off the pH and caused a chemical reaction that prevented a lot of the eggs from hatching. I think we ended up releasing three baby lobsters (which is still better than their wild survival rate but not great).
The second year was a little better. We added a de-gasser to the aquarium and got a ton of larval lobsters, but right as they were settling to the bottom we had a disease outbreak that killed most of them. We ended up releasing four babies at the end of the season.
But this year? Oh boy. We have so many lobsters that we had to release the first round early (usually we wait till September or October so guests can see them). We just released a total of FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE baby lobsters, and we still have over a hundred who haven’t settled to the bottom yet. I genuinely don’t even have words to explain how cool this is. OVER FIVE HUNDRED. We just added hundreds of lobsters to the wild population that wouldn’t have been there otherwise.
Conservation is so fucken sick
Can anyone explain wtf is going on here especially a Korean speaker
someone on reddit explained 😭
That is one of the most astronomical fuck up translations I have ever seen.
So, my iPod does this fucking genius factory thing where it forgets which artwork goes with which album and it makes guesses. Because it’s pretty sure I won’t notice.
Needless to say, I noticed.

please behold the 24 Hours of Lemons race, in which you can only spend $500 total on a car to cross country race for 24 hours
named after the legendary 24 hour Le Mans race, Lemons rallies barely legal cars in an endurance race across America. had the privilege of sharing the freeway with this race and seeing the absolute art od this event
This is so American I could CRY
oh this is nothing. some of my favorite lemons entries are:
an airplane stuck on a toyota minivan
this miata built by rocket scientists
the mr2 boat
the nyan cat bmw that i think actually played the song at all times
the homer simpson car built by uranium workers
this limo whose brakes caught on fire
the dumbest corolla and supra wearing funny hats
and so much more. 24 hours of lemons my beloved
🥀 I will not bow ⛓️

that is coheed and cambria. That is the man who wrote the song.
Its mr coheed and cambria
i was training a young person at work, and she referred to sexual assault as "SA" out loud, and i immediately was like, "no, it's sexual assault, call it what it is," bc idgaf if the algorithm overlords have taught y'all that you should fear direct language, how tf do any of you expect to ever address real issues with any amount of seriousness if you can't even say the words? imagine an advocate looking a sexual assault survivor in the eyes and asking "did he grape you?" it's absolutely fucking absurd, but these young interns and new hires are coming into an environment where we deal with survivors of all different kinds of abuse, and they're coming with the mindset that the words are as bad as the actions, and that makes them shitty at the job and look juvenile af
i HATE self-censorship for a lot of reasons, but being in crisis work makes it even more frustrating. who are you censoring for? like i am being so fr, WHO are you censoring for? have you even thought it through? people who have been raped know that they have been raped. if someone attempts suicide or is grieving someone who did, saying "sewer slide" isn't going to protect them from any of the feelings. a murder victim's family isn't going to feel better bc you said "unalived" instead of murdered. if anything, it's just extremely invalidating and othering. it's saying "what happened to you is so bad that i won't even say the word," which is NOT trauma-informed care. you are not protecting survivors/victims when you self-censor. the ONLY things you protect when you self-censor are the puritanical ideologies that are being encouraged by rich fascists who want your money and obedience
say the fucking words, guys. just say the goddamn words before i go insane!!!
You never know what color pallette someone's Tumblr is till ppl are screenshotting posts and tags
do u like mine
Oh wow.
Some people on tumblr are reading ancient scrolls and you'd never know
kink: deleting someone’s pointless comment by reblogging the post from the same person they did
I mean, that’s censorship but okay.

This is atmospheric lighting. Studying how the sun (warm light) or the moon (cold light) will affect your environment and how the bounce lighting (grass, sky, nearby street, cars, etc.) reflects will inform the color palette you go for your final result. There are easier ways to do this with modern technology, using color overlays and color balance adjustments in programs that have them, but learning how your warm light source vs. cold light source vs. warm bounce vs cold bounce creates color will inform the overlay colors you use when doing this the easy digital way. You can train your eyes to see "true" color. Like, looking at the objects on my desk, I know "my glasses holder is black. my monitoor is black. my desk is brown. my keyboard is green" but because I can see their true colors, because i'm really looking at what colors are there
"black" glasses holder: a deep blue (shadows of my desk) with bounces of deep browns and red (bounce light from the lit area of my desk). highlight flecks of orange (my overhead light) and rim lighting of green (green decorative lamp on my desk) and purple (my grow lights)
"black" monitor: same base colors as the glasses holder, but there's all sorts of little flecks of bounce lighting on the rim from what'[s on my screen. It's also a much more reflective surface, so those greens and golds are much brighter than my glasses holder. It's also slightly reflecting *me*, so now we add in some bits of a peachy orange wher my arm is showing on the faint reflection "brown" desk: this joker has all sorts of colors in it, everything i'v elisted above, but now there's a soft cream from the skulls on my desk, the xbox behind my monitor, the "brown" is more a mix of navy blue grain and several shades of brown, purple, red, a bit of muave where the light is hitting it just right my "green" keyboard: it's a sort of soft gradient from blue to cream to mint. blue in shadow, cream in transition and finally mint where it's being lit by its cool (so blueish) lit LED key lights. all the shadows on it are a range of blue to purple. the normally "white" keys are a gradient of heather to cream to light green. seeing colors truly lets you look at characters and scenes lit by atmosphere and stop thinking "Pearl from Steven Universe is Cream/Oranges/Teal!" but to understand that, in a moonlit setting, Pearl would be cooler skewed Lavender, pale pink, blue and pale yellow. divorce what you know the color palette to be logically in order to see it for what it truly is in its environment. (this is also why color picking yields wildly different results depending on the lighting of the scene, time of day, etc. and why character designs often have a default base color palette that is them in flat lighting so that the color designer can then adjust their colors to be what they need to be in the required settings of the show scenes)
The reason why McConnell is currently ambiguously dead is because KY law was recently amended to state that a vacant senate seat must be filled by a special election, but previously, the duty to fill a vacant senate seat was by appointment of the current governor. The present KY gov is a Democrat, and has the means to challenge the special elections rule in the state supreme court, under the argument that it is unconstitutional to governor's power as outlined in the KY state constitution. So given the risk of a Dem appointee who would become an incumbent to challenge, or a special election race in the middle of the Mamdani Endorsement DemSoc run on congressional seats, McConnell will remain in quantum superposition between life and death until there is no longer a risk of his republican power being challenged.
Which... you know, really is life in the American Fascist Era in a nutshell: a questionably dead or dying racist lich refusing to reliquinsh the ability to make all our lives miserable
