this post and all its wonderful additions (look in the notes) is circulating again. these photos and many of the ones added in the notes come from the US Southwest.

right now the trump administration is attacking the public lands in the Southwestern US. most recently (July 2026), in Utah the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments have been cut by over 90% to allow for mining. these lands are sacred to multiple Native nations in the area and contain irreplaceable archeological sites. additionally, the commission of Native representatives who aided in management of these lands has been dissolved leaving Native people without a voice in caring for the remaining land. (read more here)

here in New Mexico, the 10 mile buffer zone surrounding Chaco Canyon preventing oil and gas drilling is under attack. Chaco Canyon contains incredibly old and incredibly fragile archeological sites sacred to Pueblo people. these sites are threatened by mining and drilling. (read more here)

The attack on the Chaco buffer zone is currently in a public comment period open until July 29. PLEASE leave a public comment to save these irreplaceable places.

We really are deep in the offseason

[creasecrashing]

BUT ALSO: They're just doing this based off of elevation, which isn't representative of the actual distance to the Moon because Earth is a sphere! And now I have a compulsion to figure out what the real ranking is because I have two and a half university degrees in this area

[creasecrashing]

Okay I thought I had it but realized I made a critical error, so STAND BY

[creasecrashing]

Unsurprisingly, the list is basically just "How far from the equator* are we?" (If anyone has any interest in the data for particular teams, I can post that too)

*Not actually the equator, but the furthest north latitude that the sublunar point reaches on Earth's surface, since every NHL team is north of that line

Working an office job will truly make you have the wildest enemies, bc why is my nemesis rn a woman I’ve never met and who exclusively haunts me by sending diabolical emails, and also a specific guy who left my company before I even worked here and made the system so fuckass that it ruined procedures for like a year

[ryan-sometimes]

Yesterday my nemesis (woman I’ve never met and whose face I’ve never seen) sent my office an email so rude, basically saying we had fucked up every project she ever ordered from us, one of the worst emails I’ve ever read in my life.

And it pissed me off so badly that I spent the ENTIRE WORK DAY today compiling evidence from every project my team has ever done for her, pulling past emails she’d sent us, putting together an entire case proving that she had been the problem all along. That she got projects mixed up, that she’d made requests that were nonsensical, literally everything you could possibly imagine. Screenshots of emails, reports we’d submitted, EVERYTHING.

This woman in particular has been terrorizing my team for years, her name is almost a slur in my office, I had simply had ENOUGH of her.

I put all of this evidence together and sent it to all of my bosses at 4:30pm. Then I took a long break to eat a sweet treat and drink some tea.

After my break, my bosses all called in an emergency meeting with me and they said they read my report and fucking loved it. And I sat on a teams call with my boss’ boss as she wrote my nemesis the scathing email I had always fantasized about sending, using the evidence I’d compiled, and hit send.

It was the most satisfying workday I’ve had since I got hired.

OKAY I'm curious

where do you write your fics

ellipsus

google docs

directly in the AO3 editor

notes app

physical paper

literally wherever I can (sticky notes, your hand, scrap paper, etc)

something else (tell me in tags or comments !!)

not a fic writer but I wanna press a button too !!!

Remaining time: 18 hours 44 minutes

would appreciate reblogs for sample size ::]

[oakleafhart]

it varies, honestly. Notes app and gdocs have both seen their share. But I voted for directly into ao3 because I have done that enough times to feel I deserve it

[iamafanofcartoons]

This is exactly why so many Marvel movies feel completely interchangeable. They hire brilliant world-class actors and then force them to fit into a standardized, corporate assembly line

That’s pretty wild to tell the Asian martial artist his opinion on martial arts doesn’t matter

Artists, 2019

Series of six blank canvases (70x70cm) signed by the factory workers that made them in Daler Rowney, Free Industrial Zone, La Romana, the Dominican Republic.

Images: Photograph of 3 canvases from the series in the solo exhibition 'Our Celestial Sphere' at Pallas Projects, Dublin, 2019.

Supported by the Arts Council of Ireland, Limerick Institute of Technology, and Fingal County Council. Images: Pallas Projects/Studios & Kerry Guinan.

Series of six blank canvases (70x70cm) signed by the factory workers that made them in Daler Rowney, Free Industrial Zone, La Romana, the Do

And after contacting the Irish Museum of Modern Art and being referred to a curator (!), they provided me with the caption information that was used when displaying the work for the Staying With The Trouble exhibition in 2025 (thank you so much IMMA staff!!)

Artists is a series of blank, square canvases, each signed by a staff member in the manufacturing facility that produced the canvases in the La Romana Free Trade Zone, the Dominican Republic. The manufacturer, Daler Rowney, is a popular supplier of art materials in Ireland. The artist coordinated the project remotely by contacting the facility manager. The signatories volunteered to take part in the project upon invitation. They are Johan Rivera, Carlos Roa, Aneury Rondon, and Orlando Saldivar.

Anyways, I’d spent about the last 6 hours of my life trying to find out this information after some discussion on artist supply chains came up on the dashboard. Hope you enjoy the work as much as I do.

in less than three years we will have adults born in the 2000’s 

[macleod]

the funny thing about this is that both people born in the 2000s are reblogging this freaking out because they arent ready to be adults and people who were born before the 2000s are freaking out about how they feel old and that it cant be happening because all people born in the 2000s are like 4

[macleod]

in less than two years we will have adults born in the 2010’s 

[the-haiku-bot]

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[unheardoracle]

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

yeah :)

haha yayyyy :) i'm having such a wonderful time on the internet with you

[nero-tenebris]

When will USAmericans understand that the "evil racist argentina" narrative is no diferent than the "terrorist south asians" or "evil chinese" ones. The only difference is that now they're appealing to a different demographic. Being straight up racist no longer works because they'll get immediately called out, so that's who they're appealing to, the people calling out racism. They're making them believe they're doing activism when in reality they're helping the US government to spread propaganda against our country so no one will care when they steal our resources and territory.

It's funny how yall love to quote "you are not immune to propaganda" but still can't understand how powerful and convincing propaganda truly can be. You're falling for it right now and you're not even realizing it.

So if you're truly against imperialism, you'll listen to argentinian voices and stop relishing on your ignorance.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Checking out the state of duolingo as I do sometimes. The optional end of chapter tests have words in them that weren’t covered in the lessons for some reason.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I reset my Spanish tree to test this because Spanish is one of the priority languages for the company that usually gets the most recent updates and I have a pretty good grasp on basic Spanish.

In the first test it asks you how to say goodbye but it didn’t cover that anywhere in the first three lessons. In fact it covered the much more informal chao.

And yeah a lot of people know that goodbye in Spanish is adiós but they’d been teaching you to say chao and you can’t assume that everyone using this app comes from somewhere with a lot of Spanish influence.

[what-even-is-thiss]

I think there’s a few reasons people keep using Duolingo.

It’s still mostly free. It’s really frustrating to use while free now but it’s possible

Duolingo has had a reputation for a long time now of just being the thing you use when you wanna casually try learning a language. Some schools use it. It’s still got that legitimacy around it for a lot of people who aren’t plugged into online news.

A lot of people just don’t wanna put in the work of looking for other free or affordable resources. This is part of why I have my small series on this blog of doing some of that research myself for popular languages. If you don’t wanna put in that work though, Duolingo is at the top of the App Store.

Duolingo is designed to feed into the sunk cost fallacy. You’ve already put a thousand days into this app. You can’t back out now! Duo misses you. They’re really good at emotional manipulation. They’ve still got Evan Edinger doing free press for them with his over 3700 day streak for example. I’m still waiting for the day that man realizes that he can just watch tv in Spanish for better results at this point.

[what-even-is-thiss]

Here’s my current list of free and cheap resources as it stands btw.

Post by @what-even-is-thiss

💬 0  🔁 389  ❤️ 580 · Language specific free or cheap resources · This list will have more added to it as I do the research to make more list

I realize I need to get back into it and add more but I’ve already got several popular languages on there.
