Spreading the word and making it clear how serious the net neutrality issue is is one thing, but yall really for actual have to stop with that fear mongering bullshit. Like a good chunk of people don’t even understand that even if it does get passed in congress, it still has to go through the courts, and even after that, there’s already been talk of counter measures from a ton of different states. 

People are in a panic and thinking that if it doesn’t fail today than tomorrow the internet is just going to be fucking gone because thats the narrative being pushed, and I don’t think that kind of message is good for anyone, especially the people with high anxiety, who have a hard problem speaking out on these things, which is the exact audience these kind of scare posts are aimed towards.

You know whats the easiest way to get people with anxiety to do something that would otherwise set off their anxiety hardmode like? Fucking tell them the entire truth of the situation, and reassure them that their part in it matters, without saying “If you don’t fucking do this, your life is goddamn over idiot.”

Marco Polo title sequence

creation by The Mill 

Marco Polo, series based on a true story in Kublai Khan’s court in Thirteen century China. The creative team at Mill wanted to visually represent the metaphors of the show with themes of greed, betrayal, sexual intrigue & rivalry by contrasting them with various images of beauty, grace, and authenticity. Important note on the last image: in the drop hides an ‘easter egg’, a skull !

Megaloceros skeleton display at Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris.

[speculative-evolution]

Megaloceros (from Greek: μεγαλος, megalos + κερας, keras, literally “Great Horn”; see also Lister [1987]) is an extinct genus of deer whose members lived throughout Eurasia from the late Pliocene to the Late Pleistocene and were important herbivores during the Ice Ages. The largest species, Megaloceros giganteus, vernacularly known as the “Irish Elk” or “Giant elk”, is also the best known.

Most members of the genus were extremely large animals that favoured meadows or open woodlands, with most species averaging slightly below 2 metres at the withers. The various species of the Cretan genus Candiacervus – the smallest of which, C. rhopalophorus was just 65 cm high at the shoulder – are sometimes included in Megaloceros as a subgenus.
