Tumblr Migration 2: Reddit Boogaloo
We all know about the Twitter immigrants, but there seems to be radio silence on what's happening now with Reddit users from certain subreddits doing a similar thing.
What's happening?
Reddit is restricting their API later this month and killing off third-party apps. An AMA (Ask Me Anything) with the CEO Steve Hoffman was held and it was clear that he would continue with the changes.
In protest, thousands of subreddits across the site are planning to go dark for 48 hours on June 12th. Some are planning to continue indefinitely until the changes are reversed.
Okay, so how does this affect Tumblr?
Some subreddits (mainly queer and left-leaning meme ones, don't worry too much about Reddit Atheistsโข overrunning us) are encouraging their users to jump ship to our beloved - and beloathed - hellsite. There will be another influx of new users and many will be unfamiliar with how the site works.
What do us Tumblr users do?
Show them how to use the site; introduce them to the site's culture, tell them to reblog shit and curate their dashboard. Sorta like how we welcomed Twitter users back when they flocked here. Kungpowpenising optional.
I'm new from Reddit, what do I do here?
CHANGE YOUR PROFILE PICTURE AND BANNER TO SOMETHING OTHER THAN DEFAULT BECAUSE THIS SITE IS FILLED WITH BOTS AND YOU MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR ONE. This is the FIRST thing you should do after getting a blog.
Other folks can help you with stuff like curating your dashboard or creating sideblogs (or you can look shit up) but please, PLEASE just give yourself an icon and reblog some stuff so people don't mistake you for a bot
This is one of the first posts I've seen after trying to look at Tumblr again, so I've decided to head their advice and reblog this. I don't even know what a reblog is but I'll find out in time. It's a learning process
a reblog is what you just did! it's similar to a retweet on twitter and it's the main way things spread on tumblr
a couple months ago someone sent me an ask asking if Iโd ever heard of Boquila trifoliolata and I was like โno way. this canโt be realโ and i looked it up and it was and I forgot about it until just now when my supervisor and I got sidetracked and I looked it up again to prove to her that itโs real and found out that not only does this plant vaguely mimic the leaves of whatever plant itโs vining on, it does it when it climbs on fake plants too so any theories about how it does it that include gene transfer or chemicals or touching it in any way are just out the window and those were like, the only theories the original researchers had about how it might be doing it. so anyway I am screaming and crying and whatnot
The more you read the better this gets โ from Krulwich, Nat Geo 2016:
Boquila feels more like a cuttlefish or an octopus; it can morph into at least eight basic shapes. When it glides up a bush or tree that itโs never encountered before, it can still mimic whatโs near. And thatโs the wildest part: It doesnโt have to touch what it copies. It only has to be nearby. Most mimicry in the animal kingdom involves physical contact. But this plant can hangโliterally hangโalongside a host tree, with empty space between it and its model, and, with no eyes, nose, mouth, or brain, it can โseeโ its neighbor and copy what it has โseen.โ
(Artifical plant modeling & c. discussed in White & Yamashita, Plant Signaling & Behavior, https://doi.org/10.1080/15592324.2021.1977530)
Donโt like this at all! Thank you!!
One theory from that above White & Yamashita paper is that Boquila does this using plant ocelliโa very basic type of eye! If youโre interested in a brief infodump about ocelli: Many animals have ocelli, like jellyfish and insects. Hereโs a picture of a wasp headโyou can see its two main eyes to the side, and those three dots in the middle are ocelli.
(Photo cred: Assafn, Wikipedia)
These ocelli donโt form sharp images, but instead probably detect light and shadow for sleep patterns, directionality, flight stability, etc.
Some reptiles and amphibians also have a light-sensitive third eye called a parietal or pineal eye! Itโs similarly right on top of their heads. Again, theyโre not forming complex images, but instead use general light information to regulate other things. Itโs also why even tame reptiles may bolt if you reach at them from directly overhead, out of range of their normal eyesโthat third eye sees an incoming shadow and goes HAWK, RUN.
So with that in mind, plant ocelliโฆBasically they think the upper epidermal cells have evolved to have a particular convex dome shape that focuses light. I donโt know what proportion of cells are ocelli, if itโs just some or all, but basically the leaf itself IS the โeyeโ.
Plant ocelli were first proposed over a century ago but they havenโt been well studied since then. Cyanobacteria (a photosynthetic bacteria) focus light. Arabidopsis thaliana has been documented to recognize other Arabidopsis plantsโฆbasically when competing for resources, if the Arabidopsis recognizes itโs competing with other Arabidopsis plants, theyโll cooperate and move leaves so that they donโt shade each other, ensuring each plant has access to nutrients. But if the competing plant isnโt Arabidopsis, screw โem, theyโll shade it. Crepy & Casal narrowed this down to a light-based response, not just chemical identification, so itโs possible Arabidopsis is visually identifying friend from foe. At any rate, thatโs about the extent of plant ocelli research that I was able to find. So this Boquila thing is cool and weird.
What we donโt yet know is how precisely Boquila is seeing the world. Boquila is clearly getting some level of resolution in order to be able to copy shape, size, AND color. Unlike an insectโs 2-3 ocelli, it has tons, so even crude data over a lot of inputs might lead to a pretty good picture. The paper also says the mimicry gets more accurate over time, so there appears to be some learning involved. I would also love to know if it has some equivalent of depth perception! If the target plant is near vs. far, does Boquila produce the same appropriately sized mimic leaf? Does it adjust? Theyโre going to keep studying it so hopefully we have some answers in a few years!
Anyway hereโs a picture of the variation of Boquila mimic leaves.

On the one hand, this is fascinating, on the other hand โsome plants can see youโ is a terrifying thought, thank you for this
Itโs not that farfetched that plants can develop their own system of eyes. Trees can communicate with each other and other plants and fungi basically connect all plant life to one another, so even the most rudimentary eye seems pretty tame compared to a hivemind language system.
Still impatiently waiting for the day we find hard, undeniable evidence that plants are creatures too.

Can europeans and canadians stop being annoying. Like theyre so pedantic u know what i mean. I KNOW north and south america exist. Nobody calls people from countries in north and south america besides the US as americans. Ur saying usamericans bc u saw it on social media and think its like cool and subversive. Its annoying. โstealing the word american from other countries!!!โ What mexican wants to be called American. What canadian. What venezuelan. The distinction is literally meaningless.

Home Alone Gothic
You lock all the doors day or night. You tell yourself and others itโs so no person can break in, but you know youโre protecting yourself from something much worse.
The house ghost watches you from the top of the stairs, disappearing when you look in itโs direction.
Itโs eerily quiet.
You thought you shut the basement door, but itโs always open when you walk by again.
What is that sound?
Your dog stares down the hallway and whines at nothing.
You know thereโs something.
You go down to the basement to get something. Thereโs a being at the end of the hall. You are paralyzed. Its eyes stare into your soul as it approaches you. When it gets close it disappears.
You feel different and go back upstairs without grabbing your item.
You donโt even bother shutting the basement door.
Thereโs blood on the kitchen counter. You ignore it.
Suddenly itโs dark out. How long were you in the basement?
You close the curtains and blinds, knowing they donโt stop anything that truly wants to see inside.
The front door isnโt locked anymore.
Your favorite show goes to commercial, so you go to the kitchen to grab a drink. You come back to the TV playing static. The channel hasnโt changed. You sit and watch anyway.
The being from the basement has replaced the house ghostโs spot at the top of the stairs. It doesnโt let you go.
Thereโs a knock on the door. You realize every door was knocked on at the same time.
You havenโt seen your dog in a few hours, but you hear it whining from a location you canโt get to.
Your family member gets back home, they look different from when they left. An entirely new face.
They shut the basement door.
The dog greets them, tail wagging.
The TV plays the news.
The kitchen counter is blood free.
โWhy are the curtains closed?โ
They open them. Sunlight pours in.
Itโs the middle of the day.
"sex scenes have no narrative purpose" is such a funny take on so many levels. people will really believe that the whole human experience is valuable to portray artistically except sex, which of course has never held emotional weight or significance for anybody
"what's the purpose of sex scenes in media??" well you see sometimes people have sex. sometimes it can be important even
yeah ok but i dont wanna watch straight sex scene number 1231234837582 in the middle of some movie thats clearly not fucking high art or anything, like please, tell me how the sex scene made jason X a deeper movie ill wait
you genuinely think that "the sex scene in Jason X, the movie about jason from Friday the 13th killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to this point? like genuinely? genuinely? like you think that's the kind of sex scene I was talking about in the original post? you think when I'm talking about the artistic merit of sex scenes in movies you think I'm talking about the bit with the dominatrix in Jason X (2001) dir. James Isaac, the movie where Jason from Friday the 13th gets put in cryosleep and wakes up in the future on a spaceship where he starts killing people in outer space? you genuinely think this is the kind of movie and scene I'm referring to when I'm arguing for the potential artistic value of a type of scene? Jason X? Jason X? the one with Jason on a spaceship? you think that "well Jason X, the movie about Jason on a spaceship killing people in space, is bad" is a rebuttal to my point? Jason X? Jason X? J
Autumnal
I might be a little biased but Iโm honestly starting to believe that thereโs no purer form of love than the defensive spite you see from biologists that have devoted their life to the study of a maligned or misunderstood species. For example:
The hyena biologist that arranged for Disney animators to come sketch captiveย hyenas for The Lion King film (Laurence Frank) was so incensed when the animals were depicted as villains in the movie that he later included boycotting the film on a list of ways the average person could help hyena conservation.
Though itโs commonly known that Charles Darwinโs distaste for parasitic wasps played a role in his development of evolution theory (since he felt no loving God would create animals with such a disturbing life cycle), the biologists who study these wasps find it an unfair characterization. When they were tasked with coming up with a common name for the family of parasitic wasps (Ichneumonidae) that old Charles so disliked, they proposed the name โDarwin Waspsโ to spite the famous naturalist who had insulted their beloved family of insects.
Parasitologist Tommy Leung was so frustrated with the way people write about parasites to evoke horror and gore that he started writing a Parasite of the Day blog, that specifically avoids inflammatory or unsettling language to describe them. He also illustrates different species in colorful anime art on Twitter in a series called Parasite Monster Girlsโwhich he calls his โlove letter to parasites.โ
I guess Iโm just saying that if youโre a biologist studying an unpopular species and you have a little bit of a chip on your shoulder about it you can always count on me to be in your corner if you want to get a little petty with the public!
THE GREATEST JOKE ADVENTURE TIME HAS EVER WRITTEN
People like to make fun of animators but jokes on themโฆ
WHYโD YALL LEAVE OUT THE BEST ONE?
