The important thing about continents is first that the idea was invented with Europe in mind and second that it does not work for Europe
So the English word continent used to just mean a big landmass. Being a language from a small place, one of these continents was the Isle of Man.
Then we applied it to the "three" "parts" of the "world" (Europe, Asia and Africa).
Then upon discovering there were more than three bits a Science was airdropped in, so that it was now a large distinct contiguous landmass, a definition which worked perfectly for approximately one Australia, having found to their horror that it turned out Europe, Asia and Africa were connected.
So then geologists discovered continental plates, finally allowing them to explain how Africa was actually separate from Asia, and how Europe was... still just a bit of Eurasia with delusions of grandeur.
Today we’re introducing an on-demand remediation tool that creates accessible versions of articles when they are requested. When a user needs an accessible PDF, the system generates it with the structure required for screen readers and makes it available for future readers. This includes adding headings, improving reading order, and creating text for scanned documents. Accessible versions are often ready within minutes or hours, and each request helps expand access across the collection over time. Accessibility is part of how people use and engage with content, and this work continues as more materials are improved. Read more on the blog.
Before there was Moo Deng, there was William.
This little blue hippopotamus, known affectionately as William, has been a fan favorite at The Metropolitan Museum of Art for over a century. Dating back to Egypt’s Middle Kingdom (c. 1961–1878 BCE), William was likely placed in tombs to offer protection in the afterlife.
His bright faience glaze and lotus decorations connect him to the Nile’s waters—but don’t let his charm fool you! Ancient Egyptians knew that hippos were both revered and feared, making William a powerful symbol. He epitomizes the Egyptian craftsmanship of the era.
Take a closer look at William on JSTOR.

Just incredible.
what’s the rush?
The time will pass anyway
The other night husband and I were watching a documentary about the yeti where they were doing DNA analysis of samples of supposed yeti fur, and every one of them came back as bears.
Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.
So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
Bears. They’re everywhere. Be wary. Anyone or anything could be a bear.
oh shit
As the OP of this post, I’m going to threaten that if this gets to one million notes by the 10 year anniversary on 1 June 2026, one year from today, I will get a lower back tattoo of the loch ness bear monster.
At time of posting, this is at 711.6k notes
29 Days Remain
Only 12 days left.
It’s Saturday, May 30, 3:18 PM EDT
The note count as of 3:12 PM EDT was 742.4K.
We’re almost 258,000 notes short of the Committment To The Bit Tumblr Curse goal, or what I am choosing to call:
The Bear Nessiecity
You know what to do.
Does it count as 'sword in the stone' if it looks more like 'sword in the cairn'...?
we got really close one time. monkey #44543 almost wrote Othello perfectly but decided to take some creative liberties in act 3 that were kinda shit so the other monkeys took his typewriter away
[The Poison Pen: How Confident Are We About Iocane?
Samuel J Stellpflug, Jon B Cole, Eric J Lavonas]
[Please note that the authors of this Poison Pen do not have personal concerns with iocane exposure as we used our heartbroken years on a pirate ship to build up immunity to the poison on the off chance we might be presented down the road with a battle of wits to the death with a Sicilian who has kidnapped our long lost loves.]

i wish there was a way to say "you're right, but this is really ineffective and even counterproductive messaging to anyone who doesn't already agree with you" without sounding like an asshole
Sometimes an unpublished author will stake out a position which is shared by everyone in the world and defend it as if he stood embattled and alone. As he stridently argues with what he seems to think of as a recalcitrant audience that it is bad to be unkind to animals, the reader balks and eventually rebels. Yes, you have a point, but why are you shouting at us?

just watched an interview with james ortiz (rocky’s puppeteer) where he’s like “they were torturing ryan gosling for this movie. it was killing him. he was developing isolation sickness in real life from being the only actor on set for 6 months. i needed to be there for him even when rocky wasn’t in frame to serve as his guiding light and the sole thread tethering him to the concept of love. i was kneeling at the altar” and what
and then in ryan goslings interviews he’s like “i was struggling in the depths of hell. until a beautiful puppeteer angel lifted me up out of the darkness and saved me so completely and understood the character so well we had to make him play the role for real”
what

really underrated part of the LotR films is when gollum gets exposition lines. like can you imagine? you're travelling with the most fucked-up evil little murder greyhound creature imaginable and he lives in a cave and doesn't know about potatoes but from time to time you have to ask him about local geopolitics. and he answers you
