Chidi watches Bandersnatch
imagine if the oceans were replaced by forests and if you went into the forest the trees would get taller the deeper you went and there’d be thousands of undiscovered species and you could effectively walk across the ocean but the deeper you went, the darker it would be and the animals would get progressively scarier and more dangerous and instead of whales there’d be giant deer and just wow
you have a beautiful imagination
this gave me chills
HOLY SHIT
first of all ^^^ I love this^^^
secondly, I’ve said it before, but
this is exactly what the Old World was. Off shore there was Ocean, and inland there was Forrest
Here’s an Old World tree still surviving in a modern forrest of “large” trees
That’s just what trees used to be like.
And wandering among those trees, one might have encountered, yes, deer larger than a modern moose, but also, depending on what year, pigs bigger than grizzly bears, beavers the size of modern wolves, ground sloths the size of modern elephants, and bears nearly that big. Not to mention the insects and snakes and shit.
I could keep going, like, you might have crossed paths with a whole herd of these
or a family of these.
Like, 29,000 years ago, the last of the Neanderthal had just died out. Humans and this thing definitely lived at the same time.
And they didn’t live in the Forest, but there is one ice age creature that’s still alive, if you want to see what life was like back in the day. We used to think the Musk Ox was a type of bovine, or cow, which is how it got it’s name. BUT. See this?
that, my friends, is an ice age GOAT. That’s right, that’s a 900 pound GOAT. Here, take another look
anyway, yeah, the wild used to be a lot more Wild. Old Forest was definitely the inland equivalent of Ocean, and everything back in the day was turnt the fuck UP
This post was made by someone’s genetic memory of those scary fuckers
Can god please rerelease the Old Forest again
unrelated: the queen of england about to turn 95 soon and transition rule to her (also elderly ass) son but all I could think... not even politically or like what it means for the uk... or even the world in terms of this particular figurehead of empire & many peoples' past and current bloodshed and suffering retiring...
was that, you know, my god, my grandma just died in 2018, yk? and this evil witch is 21 years older now than my grandma was and is just like... stepping down from a job. not dying. not even sick. because she's cared for, she has the best doctors and medicine and healthy food and people to watch her and take care of her & all her responsibilities around the clock, and taxpayers pay for that, plundered and slaughtered peoples all over the world amassed the stolen wealth that pays for that.
how are there not around the clock riots? how do they get away with it? my grandma died and this woman is alive, not by luck or genetics— at least not alone— but because of money and care no one else has access to. it's a selfish thought, but yeah... my first thought was, my god, what if we all had her doctors... that around the clock top shelf care without getting an ulcer over the bill... what if we could all be safely carried to 95?
the world is very different for the wealthy and powerful, and so I recognize no kings.

Reminder that the Queen is still immensely wealthy while austerity measures mean that pupils in Wales have to go to school hungry and be fed out of pocket by teachers. One teacher in the article I linked said that this was the most poverty he had seen after 25 years at the school.
I'm not saying the Queen is directly snatching the food off their plates, but I am saying nobody should be that rich when children have to choose between breakfast or lunch because they can't afford both.
No, actually fuck Queen Elizabeth. I’ll say it. And fuck the royal family too.
Nick: hey man how are you—

A New History of Fandom Purges
On November 24th, 2018, I posted a list of major deletions of sites or of content on sites that stripped fandom of its history. A bunch of pro-shipper blogs had just been deleted, and people were nervous. I suppose I was thinking “All this has happened before…”
On December 3rd, 2018, Tumblr’s Department of Irony announced the NSFW ban. Thanks for providing this salutary lesson to The Youth and a billion reblogs to me, I guess.
Today, we have AO3 for writing. Audio, images, and video are in as much danger as ever, yet fans attack AO3 every donation drive. For those of you who forget our past…
HERE IS WHAT HISTORY HAS TAUGHT US!

2018 - Wattpad deletes accounts/fics without warning

This is only a small taste of the many times that:
Fannish moderators got bored, ran out of money, or had a falling out, deleting a site/list/forum along the way.
Sites got bought out and closed for being unprofitable.
Fandom got hit as governments targeted piracy or political dissidents.
Fans grudge reported each other.
Official forums got deleted when the canon finished.
It’s not always malicious. It’s not always about us. But we lose every time.
Some of these purges hit everyone. Many of them hit m/m content specifically or female gaze-y material in general. This is why antis are dead wrong. This is why anti-fujoshi policies end up being anti-m/m policies. This is why we need clear labeling, not content restrictions.
This is why we need AO3.
And it’s why we need a solution for audio, visuals, and video too.
So grateful for the historical memory and the long view on a phenomenon many of us have come to late, and/or take for granted.
And this is why AO3 generates twice its goal amount in just a few days: they are irreplaceable.

@eds-my-love
Oh my
So I heard there was this holiday for smoochin?
Short but sweet monster school romance between Lilith, and her adorable girlfriend Willow. Originally part of my 2015 minizines, now for you!
I just watched a video of gymnasts trying parkour and they were saying their favorite part was that they didn't have to think about being graceful and I'm wonding if that would be a good way to bring Virgil back into gymnastics because he won't have to worry about if it's perfect
Virgil... doing parkour? Like this?
Or this?
I can absolutely see him doing this! And Logan losing his marbles when he hears about it?)
I looooove that!
