Popping in for the first time in a while

yk how the people who live the longest r like those old people in mediterranean countries who just sit by the sea and smoke and drink and eat good food all day and every time you see a story about them everyone will joke about how they need to start smoking a pack of day so they can live to 100. but then go back to their carb free diet that they hate and never going for walks outside and refusing to indulge in even the smallest pleasures bc they’re ‘unhealthy’. like when will we learn that the key to living long is to enjoy yourself even if it means having a glass of wine occasionally. never eating bread is not going to add 20 years to your life

[Opening Marine Wildlife Wonder Oven and inhaling deeply] Aaaaaaaah, our famous Star-Spangled Toasty Tunicate Didemnum Dumplings are ready for eyes to feast upon them!

Didemnum tunicates are an apartment complex of many filter-feeding individuals, all housed in a shared orange tunic. Each small hole is a mouth to one of the tenants, while the larger opening is the communal waste disposal.

These co-ops defend themselves from would-be Didem-noms with sharp spikes, while other tunicates use chemical defenses like sulfuric acid to fend off nosy neighbors.

Brilliant tunicates like Didemnum are plastered all over the rocky reef here in Monterey Bay, from solitary morphs like the ruby sea peach getting tubed under barnacle feet above, or or the bright pink modern art of a Cystodytes lobatus colony below.

These colorful critters filter the water for microscopic food—one large solitary tunicate may filter several liters of seawater in an hour! Whatever the case, these lil’ dumplings are certainly a part of a balanced kelp forest ecosystem.

Real talk, though, because it needs to be said: as much as we all joke that porn was the only good thing this place had left, the reality is that it being the only place where one could regularly engage with and promote sexual content being gone is really not understanding at all what makes this place special. I mean we all joke about “horny on main” and all that, but the reality is that for a lot of the LGTBQ+ community, particularly younger members still discovering themselves and members in extremely homophobic environments where most media sites were banned (but Tumblr wasn’t even considered important enough to be), this was a bastion of information and self-expression. For a lot of artists too, this was a great place to come and post NSFW work and get traction that became Patreon pages that became honest jobs. The problem with “family friendly” social media is that more often than not, the ones hit the most by the whole family friendly nonsense are marginalized groups that have no vehicles to express themselves. Stuff like YouTube consistently bans or flags simple content featuring something as innocuous as two men kissing as “adult” content and makes it hard for LGBTQ+ content creators to compete with their non-queer peers for a lot of those reasons. The ultimate problem isn’t even that banning of NSFW content, it’s the general mess surrounding it and unintended consequences to these groups. For MONTHS Tumblr has had a huge problem with porn spam bots and outright child pornography, and for MONTHS the majority of the userbase has been in general consensus that both of these things needed to stop. Tumblr did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. When Apple finally removed their app from the store, SPECIFICALLY because of the child pornography, Tumblr decided to do what any rich corporation owning a social media site with zero understanding of what makes it popular would do, and decided that the best course of action was to eat itself like an Ouroboros. Rather than admit that they have done an absolutely shit job at keeping pedophiles off this website and rather than hiring the necessary staff to carefully moderate content, they decided to loose a poorly programmed bot that literally deleted perfectly SFW blogs with thousands of followers, and rather than properly handling moderation, they decided that it was best to simply go the lazy route and block anything even remotely NSFW. They run this site in the worst way possible, and I don’t understand how @support or @staff or their completely oblivious “CEO” plans to keep this sinking ship alive.
