Somewhere in the Salish Sea

Hello! I'm Rin (any pronouns). Been here forever out here loving art and being the biggest fucking nerd. I'm falling back into fandoms with pirates and dnd. Sometimes I go on rambles about innovating how we shift colonial governments when thinking about people and the oceans. That, or I share my art and photography and outdoor adventures. Oceanography, Physics, DnD, sci-fi, government, and more! Explore life, and don't shy away from the next adventure.

happy pride month for it/its users, polyamorous people, xenogenders, non-transitioning trans people, and other "weird" identities. btw

[kaiasky]

its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

[biggestzam]

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

[kaiasky]

i want you on my team holy shit

[softichill]

I loooove ominously giggling when I'm getting my friends into smth new. They ask me a spoilery question and I get to do this

[kateammann]

Happy Pride Month to all of my fellow aces!! 🖤🩶🤍💜

Getting a thumbs down at highway speeds is far more emotionally devastating than a middle finger tbh

Hey tumblr friends, in case I haven't told you lately, I have no idea what the FUCK half of you are on about and I WISH I didn't know what the rest of you are on about. Great work. Keep it up.

too much monogamy in fandom in general

[quietwingsinthesky]

as we all know, everyone falls in love once and only once with their one true love the first time, and if they had relationships before that they weren’t real and didn’t love each other, and you can’t love more than one person at once, and your friends and family need to be pushed out of the picture to focus more on your romance, and no one has sex with people they don’t love, and if they did, they’re dirty and they have to have hated it and the sex they have with their one true love after they’re officially together has to be better sex than they ever had before, and no one ever breaks up for any reason other than death, and everyone wants to get married and have kids. aren’t you fucking tired.

[quietwingsinthesky]

I SAID AREN’T YOU FUCKING TIRED

[jackironsides]

I had a comment on one of my fics disgusted with its outcome, feeling like one character was just ‘second fiddle’ and ‘a compromise’ in his relationship because his lover didn't deny his love for his previous partner and grief over their breakup. According to that reader, you can never love two people in different ways and value them for themselves.

I am extremely tired.

I am pro-accredited aquariums and zoos. My posts critiquing the animal rights movement are blowing up right now and I just want to come out and say definitively that I appreciate zoos and aquariums allowing the public to view wild animals without potentially disturbing them in their natural habitat or resorting to the illegal exotic pet trade. It is valuable for conservation purposes and many aquariums/zoos take unreleasable wildlife and host breeding programs for endangered species. They are not just institutions for human amusement, they are integral to maintaining public interest and studying the ecology and biology of the animals contained within.

thinking about diatoms again

[crabussy]

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

[crabussy]

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

[crabussy]

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

[weekendviking]

They are so cool, and ubiquitous. Their silica forms deep sea silaceous oozes, which become cherts and they also supply the silica for the flints found in limestones, and diatomaceous earths and diatomites.

[crabussy]

yes!!!! I love a good deep sea siliceous ooze..... I have some facial mud mask stuff containing cosmetic grade diatomaceous earth, which is why I remembered them. diatoms really are everywhere. they're on my face.

Hey this is a public service announcement, ESPECIALLY for the younger generation -- "cringe" and "cringe culture" and policing generations expressions by taunting them and calling everything you see cringe is literally an Alt Right Pipe Line. Yes I am correct and no I will not be taking any questions.

[kaity--did]

okay let me break this down even simpler for yall

YOU CAN EITHER BE CRINGE OR YOU CAN BE BORING AS FUCK

[benbeetle99-deactivated20251013]

You are genuinely correct about this and i hope people arent taking it as an overdramatic statement.

A little less than 10 years ago i was a teenager on the internet who watched cringe compilations on youtube. Literally every single person in those clips were either feminists, trans, autistic, furries, fat, mentally ill in some form, or LITERAL CHILDREN, etc.

It was QUITE LITERALLY an alt right pipeline. We were laughing at feminists protesting for gender equality, for fucks sake. My youtube recommendations were plagued with right wing videos and debates from watching these.

You are 100% allowed to dislike certain media and fandoms and whatnot but publicly shaming them is not only low-brow, but close minded and gullible behaviour, to say the least. Is that person with a Sonic self insert really hurting you at the end of the day? When you think other peoples harmless behaviour needs to be policed, you are already slipping.

The older you get the more you realize being cringe isnt bad. Infact i seriously dont care if people personally cringe at me. Because im letting myself do things i love without shame, so really im the one whos winning

I feel you, Artoo.

it feels so evil that you can't still access your university online library after you graduate *remembers my principles* it feels so evil that everyone can't access that stuff all the time

m9, w tears in their eyes: 🥺 can we have some magic combat items? we can try to pay for it.

matt, with a shit-eating grin: 🫡 two halves of a broken sword. on two different warring nations. neither are free. pay for one half. do a favor for another half. go to another different country to fix it. no fast travel. almost die getting there. *spits on them*

m9: okay 🥹 *becomes near unkillable even without magic items*

[buteonine]

if you are "animal lover" and don't find the beauty and silliness stored in the humble leech then you should try

Reminder

They do this :3

had a strong urge to make gifs outta them

The Eiffel Tower gets slightly bigger every year. That's because it's alive and slowly absorbing the girders and I-beams from the other buildings in the city. The French government didn't want to alarm its citizens, so they made up a story about it being built by an architect, but that's not what happened at all. In fact, despite its name, the Eiffel Tower isn't really a tower at all.

[dark-magician-girl-meets-world]

It's a Paris sight
