The next time I see one of those “millenials will be photographing the end of the world” posts I’m gonna scream because let me tell you, I just went through a natural disaster and Snapchat literally saved people’s lives. Thanks to snapchat I knew exactly what roads were flooded, what stores were open, what my HOUSE looked like (since I wasn’t there), and which shelters I could go to. People were snapping/tweeting asking to be rescued and THEY WERE. I didn’t get my news from the tv, I saw it in real time on social media and I will never not be grateful for that.

As someone who watches a lot of disaster documentaries let me tell you something the fuck else -

After disasters where things like Fukushima or a broken levee situation, videos of the disasters can help calculate where failures happen in the engineering. Should you endanger your life for footage?? Absolutely not but documenting things like this help us prepare for the future.

That’s actually how we have so much information about how the fire spread after the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco. A photography store owner saw the flames coming and started handing his stock out to whoever would take it. People who’d never had their photograph taken were suddenly walking the streets with a camera and as much film as they could carry as their world burned, documenting everything and everyone. Comparing the photos and the eyewitness stories connected to them gives a very good record of where the smoke was rising from at any given point in time.

Similar story to 9/11 - there was a lot of amateur video being shot, so we know important details of how the emergency response on-site worked in practice even though a lot of the most significant eyewitness who could have spoken about it later were killed AND we have an incredible record of how the evacuation of the surrounding streets worked and didn’t work including what last-ditch emergency havens at ground level were actually safe from the debris cloud. And that was before the era of cell phone video with automatic uploading to cloud - if it had happened after that advance showed up, we’d have detailed information about how the fire spread inside from areas where no one made it out.

Yeah, humans like to document disasters. I mean, it’s not like one of our most significant advantages over other species is the ability to tell each other why a thing is dangerous and how to handle it without requiring first-hand knowledge or anything…

been watching livestreams of US news channels lately and

1) they have a LOT of commercial breaks

2) i didn’t realize that ads for medicine were actually like this

[siobhanblank-deactivated2019011]

ppl keep reblogging this and asking “well what are the medicine ads like in your country” and like…there aren’t any? It’s literally illegal to advertise prescription medicine here?

[notbecauseofvictories]

give us proper king elizabeth meta and how she raises her son william turner ii pls for the love of god because idk how they convinced kiera knightly to go from pirate king to fucking lighthouse keeper either

i got you covered buddy

coda

They say the Pirate King has married the sea, in secret and sacred rites that no mortal man could know. They say she kissed Davy Jones one moonlit night, leaning over the quarterdeck as their ships passed one another in the fog. (They say she still has the rope-burn on her palm, from where she wrapped the line around her hand—the only thing that kept her in the land of the living, they say.)

They say her son was born squalling like a storm, into the arms of Captain Jack Sparrow, who trails his own rumors like sea spray. (No one mentions a certain similarity of aspect between child and godfather, but then neither do they bring up the ears that could only be a Turner’s, or the straight sharp nose that, in the right light, would not have looked out of place on a commodore’s profile.)

They say the Pirate King can steal anything she likes, and keep it.

i love when my preschoolers pretend to be talking on the phone bc if u leave them to their own devices and observe they just start saying things they’ve heard adults say into the phone like “hello i have an appointment, i’d like some rice”

[mccoppinscrapyard]

me when people ship real celebrities, draw/write porn of them, harass them about ships on social media, or are just generally creepy towards them:

I know Deb. She’s a great photomanip artist (this is a Bouguereau painting–much improved if you ask me since he was a pedophile).

“We’re gay”

[broccococcoli]

finally relatable dipictions of gay people: reasoning something you do simply by virtue of being gay.

[fieldbears]

I just realized I have 3 gold mirrors

[fieldbears]

fuck, I have 4 gold mirrors

[lilacblossoms]

owning gold mirrors is gay culture

[fieldbears]

initially underestimating the number of gold mirrors you own is also gay culture
