TIL that the reason lead levels in children’s blood have dropped 85% in the past thirty years is because of an unknown scientist who fought car companies to end leaded gasoline. He also removed it from paint, suggested its removal from pipes, and campaigned for the removal of lead solder from cans.

via ift.tt

[squeeful]

Yep.  It also correlates extremely strongly with an increasing decrease of violent crime.  One of the symptoms of low level constant lead exposure is increased aggression and volatility. 

[kurowrites]

“Unknown scientist”? That was Clair Cameron Patterson.

[solarpunkcast]

Gas companies are still so mad at him he’s “unknown scientist”, know his name

[bogleech]

Daily reminder that health and safety standards like these are what politicians mean when they talk about “deregulation.”

Patterson died 5 December 1995.

Petition to make his date of death a Tumblr holiday celebrated by talking about cool shit the gas and petroleum industries don’t want us to know about, and fighting to continue his work.

when i forget to log into ao3 and i have to click proceed to see an adult fic, i actually get a kick out of it. like i am an old timey queen and my bard is apologetic: “gentle lady, dicks doth touch in this next ballad. would you prefer another?” and i give him a gesture of command like, “nay, you may proceed, minstrel. bring forth the tale of dicks”

[kinkyfuckeryoftas]

This post is so old I almost forgot why I think “proceed with the tale of dicks” every time I click on it now

[robotmango]

imagine how i felt the other day when i tried to get into ao3 on a new device and blithely thought, “ha, i think i saw a tumblr post about this once.”

@lindensea what issues do you have with the show I'm so curious 👀👀

[fanonical]

in general, something i really love and admire about the asoue books is how well they balance the silly and the macabre; deadly poisons alongside sad clowns, the littlest elf and actual murders at the opera. it's a well-trod balance, and i think it's one that kids really should encounter around the age they'd be reading the books

[dwightyoumonkeyslutt]

This is such a difficult balance. Totally agree.

[kaursblog11]

The difference in the romantic treatment Wednesday receives from Tyler v/s the platonic treatment she receives from Enid is very stark and is why I will never be able to ship anything other than wyler.

I can't ignore the fact that Tyler made sure her dead flowers were wrapped in black and white and that the note was also black and white because he knows she has an allergy but Enid drank a coffee with colorful syrups, didn't take her anti-allergic meds and wore bright colored clothing while smiling and dancing to humiliate her in front of the entire school because she thought Wednesday was lying to maintain her "tragic, lonely goth girl aesthetic".

(Honestly, I find that description of Wednesday very humiliating, and personally, I would never speak that way about my friends and that too behind their back. But i do like Enid and Wednesday's friendship so I'm willing to overlook it.)

Enid did all of that when she was on good terms with Wednesday and then when she was a little mad at her.

Tyler did all of that for her while he wanted to kill her.

In s1 the difference is even more stark, he and Xavier are romantically interested in her, so they treat her boundaries differently than Enid does. For her birthday, Xavier designed a Gothic cake, and Tyler chose dark chocolate ganache because he wanted to stick to her preferences and boundaries.

Enid... added a pink balloon.

For her birthday, Enid made her a snood which did not match her aesthetic at all but she still forced her to wear it while Tyler acknowledged that while the coffee doesn't match her aesthetic he only did it to do something special for her. And on their birthday dinner/date he took her to a crypt, got her favourite flower: a black dahlia, made their cutlery look like weapons, made black and white popcorn buckets, got an old fashioned film projector and tortured her for fun.

Again and again, the contrast in their relationships is shown through how Enid and Tyler treat Wednesday's boundaries and allergy.

It's not a coincidence. It's meant to show the difference between how the platonic love between Enid and Wednesday translates to Enid pushing Wednesday's boundaries and making her try new things and grow while Tyler gives her space and comfort to be her dark self without any judgement.

I love the dad but his response made me immediately think of this:

[feminist-space]

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

His name is António Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here

This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.

This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, António lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.

Says the article:

"The act was "of support”, guarantees the man, especially because “each one is as they are and we are all the same”. “The joy I felt at this moment. I cried,” he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.

However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.

Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, António is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him.  He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. “Memories I preserve,” he stresses.

He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.

“We all have the same color blood. We are all the same.”

Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, António remembers: “I felt embraced by all of them”. After a sigh, he says: “See this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.”

[shannara810]

@kreacionista I used to be a Teen Wolf fan — yes, capital F fan. And I’ll even admit that, to this day, I still indulge in the occasional well-written fic, because apparently I’m a glutton for punishment. I adored the first two seasons, and the whole Nogitsune storyline was actually brilliant… even though that Stiles/Malia scene had me dry-heaving into the nearest trash can. But after that? Oh boy. Straight off a cliff.

First off, the endless “tell, don’t show” routine. Scott was sold to us as this messianic alpha wolf who’d save the day, the world, the universe, probably the local dog park too… except he never did. He stayed the exact same bland, flat, self-righteous character from start to finish, with the moral compass of a middle-schooler and a bizarre ability to take credit for things other characters actually achieved.

And Derek Hale. Ugh, Derek. Reduced to a decorative torso with a tragic backstory, a slab of beef. The constant retcons shredded whatever worldbuilding the show had left, and the forced ships cheapened every single character they touched. As for the “movie”? Please. That’s fanfiction with a budget, and in my personal canon it does not exist.

And yes — because I know you’re curious — my favorite character has always been Uncle Peter. Obviously. And I ship Isaac with Jackson, but don't ask the reason 🤣

Now, I’ve always thought the whole “True Alpha” thing was one giant scam. My theory? There is no such thing as a True Alpha. When Derek stepped down, that Alpha spark didn’t magically manifest in Scott’s soul — it just jumped to the nearest Hale. And technically, Scott was bitten by Peter, which makes him, in a sense, a Hale pack wolf anyway. That’s always been my take.

And right up until the very end, I was dying for Deaton the vet to turn out to be the real villain — the puppet-master quietly steering the chaos. In my head, he’d been manipulating everything from the start: getting rid of the Hales, clearing the board, and installing a young, naïve Alpha he could play like a chess piece. And honestly, if you look back, there are breadcrumbs all over the seasons hinting that every “worst possible outcome” happened because Deaton was nudging them straight into it.

Now about Underworld. It's this endlessly milked saga — five movies deep and counting — starring Kate Beckinsale doing slow-motion flips in black leather while looking perpetually annoyed (but I like them, I swear!)

The pitch? A war between vampires and werevolves. But we call them “Lycans", because they’re supposed to be a different breed of werewolf. So you know, werewolves but make it fancy.

The first three? Genuinely good. And we are stalking about Underworld, Underworld: Evolution, and Underworld: Rise of the Lycans — a prequel nobody asked for but we all ended up enjoying anyway.

The characters were actually written with care, especially Lucian. Michael Sheen made him a full-on powerhouse: charismatic, magnetic, and even though he’s not tall, he commands every frame like it owes him rent.

Then the studio got greedy. They kept making movies without the actor playing Michael, the original hybrid — and the whole thing nose-dived. They tried to shove in another generic handsome dude, but the soul of Underworld was Michael. Take him out and what’s left? A moody leather fashion show with fangs.

[dwightyoumonkeyslutt]

"a moody leather fashion show with fangs" I cannot!

Okay wait now I must know the reason for shipping Isaac and Jackson hahaha

[bl00dysn0wfall]

series of unfortunate events really said: sometimes adults are wrong. sometimes they do not have your best interests at heart. sometimes the authority figures you’ve been told to trust are evil, and sometimes they’re just plain idiotic. often, they won’t listen to you, even when you are right. they will misinterpret things you say and belittle your interests and then expect you to take it lying down. sometimes you will know better than they do and there will be very little you can do to change their mind. despite all this, there is good in the world and it will be okay. being young does not mean you are worthless.

[dwightyoumonkeyslutt]

Yes. This is why I fell in love with it. That adults can be wrong. That the world is a chefs salad with good and bad mixed in. Good people can do bad things, and bad people good. And through it all, one can still enjoy the little pleasures in life, like a picnic arriving separately from it's guests to protect it from enemies.

Knowing a fic author through AO3 is like attending someone’s thesis presentation and politely clapping at the end, knowing a fic author through this hellsite is like going over to their house at 3AM to watch them eat mayonnaise out of a jar
