Okay. I was on my beloved AO3 and I saw something that made me do a double take. So, now I really want to know…

What is your AO3 user ID?

I’m an OG user 5 digits or less

Six figures baby!

I’m in the millions…

Remaining time: 6 hours 8 minutes

I’m so curious to see how long people have been on AO3! I know some people have been on there since beta/invite only, but I would love to see what the number is on tumblr!

It is so ridiculously easy to gain a reputation for being competent by just reading signs.

This is not metaphorical. I mean actual, literal pieces of paper/plastic/metal/whatever explicitly erected to inform the public.

“How did you know this was the right trail?” I read the sign.

“Wow, how did you know what that flower is?” There’s a SIGN.

“How did you know we needed to use the side door?” THERE IS A SIGN POSTED ON THE FRONT DOOR.

Just…why are we having such different experiences of the world? People can read. I KNOW they can read. There’s nothing wrong with their vision.

Just. READ. THE. GOD. DAMN. SIGN.

Dangit hit the wrong button - Raina was free for me - but it’s also the right button - my friends were evicted because of her.

#my cats were technically free #but I paid probably $1000 for their shots and spays #where if I had gone to the SPCA it would have been a third of that #for the two of them #worth it though #best kittens

I love asking people how their parents met. You always get an interesting reply. My best friend’s parents met on the relatively new internet in 1999. My other friend’s parents met at Burger King when one was the manager and the other was a regular customer. My parents met at the beach because they were neighbors in their rental houses, mom was on a church trip and dad was getting blackout drunk every night with his friends next door.

Tell me how your parents met in the tags.

#my mom was a cheerleader and my dad was a football player #I swear I am not making that up

Having been named after a character in The Great Gatsby by my English-major dad, I thought I would ask about this.

#I was named after a place that was named after a person #but not the person my mom thought it was #also no one ever spells my name correctly #even people who live in that place #I narrowly missed being named after TWO places #but my dad put his foot down and my middle name is Anne instead

i do think oil executives should be considered mass murderers and treated as such. they knew this was going to happen

#I worked in oil and gas for a long time #and honestly yes #yes they did know #and yes they should

Polynesians did also rely on a form of a physical map called a stick chart, illustrating the specific wave and swell patterns surrounding different island chains. These were particularly helpful during cloudy conditions when the sun and stars were less useful. To navigate the Marshall Islands, the Marshallese represented ocean swell patterns using parts of coconut fronds and shells as islands. Like a subway map, they don’t so much represent distances as they do relationships. The complex and decorative stick charts were often only understood by the person who made them. They were memorised before a voyage by the pilot who would lie on the floor of a canoe to get a sense of swell movement and often lead a squadron of 15 or more boats.

sometimes I am just amazed at how my ancestors managed to navigate the entire Pacific Ocean with these. knowledge that was nearly lost and is being re-learned.

AH! I'd heard of these, but this is the first time I've come across pictures.

#I have reblogged this before #the Inuit of Greenland did something similar #carving the coastlines out of wood so they could be navigated by someone in a boat or kayak #relevant to my interests #also cartography is literally my job so always cool to see how others have done it #people are neat

reblog and put in the tags the real reason you joined tumblr no matter how horrible or embarrassing it is

they put my blood through every test under the sun and yet nowhere in the pages and pages of lab reports do they tell me what my blood type is

json-derulo

your neutrophils absolute? 2.71. anion gap? why, that's 11! hemoglobin A1C? a solid 5.4. and don't fret, champ—your VLDL (calculated) is a cool 12. real fascinating stuff. hm? what's that? you want to know what kind of blood you have? like, so you won't have to look your next ER nurse in the eye and tell her you have no clue what type you have right after giving her a date of birth that confirms you are over 30 years old? psh, don't be silly! we can't tell you that! it's a ✨secret✨

json-derulo

do you know your blood type??

yes, I'm certain of it

I think my family told me what it was but I'm not sure/no recent test to confirm

no, I have no clue

I don't have blood/results

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

Great time to start pricing this out by the way, fire season starts… on the summer solstice this year, that’s fun. Signs point to it being a doozy.

I see this version a lot and the above is excellent, but air filters are expensive and you can build a similar concept with a single filter using the box fan box as a spacer to increase airflow. I built one in 2022 when we had a crazy wildfire season and it was astounding how much of a difference it made to the air quality in my house. (I still use mine every year, have replaced the filter several times.)

Unfortunately the original instructions for the smaller version were posted on X and have vanished into the ether, but I found a link to instructions (sans pictures) here:

@DavidElfstrom: FINAL OPTIMIZATION! Box fan single filter with 400 CFM measured at 120V. Estimated clean air delivery rate is 248 CFM CADR.

Worth a try if you don't have the money for 4-5 filters!

it’s so magical and beautiful that there are sprawling interconnected cave systems carved deep into the earth by various geological forces and you don’t have to go in them. there are miles and miles of stone passageways in total darkness that require you to exhale all the air out of your lungs to squeeze through parts of them and you don’t have to be there. some of these squeezes are underwater and require cave divers to take off their oxygen tanks and push them through ahead of them and me i am above ground looking at the sky as we speak. there are untold subterranean wonders no human has ever seen and i will not be the one to discover them #grateful #blessed

so true there could be any number of undiscovered species down there all of which are none of my business and never will be. peace and love on (the surface of) planet earth 💕
