So! This is a perfect case study in situations where you should be wary of misinformation.
Take a moment and ask yourself, a project like this requires a lot of time, money and dedication of resources, why would scientists dedicate that time to something that could just be done by a tree?
The answer is they wouldn't. So that means this claim requires further investigation!
This project is called LIQUID 3, and it's not meant for cities with wide open spaces, it's meant for cities like Belgrade in Serbia. These cities are densely populated and heavily polluted, to the point where pollution actually chokes out current trees and makes creating green spaces difficult.
Liquid 3 was a PhD scientists answer to these problems. The microalgae tank is intended for spaces where you either:
Don't have enough space to plant full trees, or
Don't have enough time to plant trees and wait for them to grow up.
The tank is extremely efficient when you consider the amount of space needed compared to the amount of CO2 turned into oxygen. The tank can operate throughout the winter. And most importantly, it can be quickly set up in areas that desperately need relief from air pollution NOW not in 10 years when trees are done growing. Children currently suffocating on polluted air can't wait for trees to grow, they need to be taken care of now, and Liquid 3 is one of the ways to take care of them. Depending on the species of microalgea used, a number have shown a pretty amazing capacity to pull heavy metals out of the air which is something trees can get choked up by.
The tanks aren't just tanks either! Liquid 3 have solar panels placed on top, they have lighting and mobile phone charging, and they work as public benches. The designers of it want to encourage green spaces where there's room, but where there isn't room or time, Liquid 3 can step in. Realistically, this isn't a replacement for trees. It's replacing boring metal city benches with new, cooler benches that also clean the air (and have at least some heating during the winter).
Not only that, but the microalgea that grows is native to Serbia and all that microalgea has a ton of great uses! It makes for great fertilizer, compost, wastewater treatment, cleaner biofuels and even for helping create new tanks for further air purification. They only require a quick algae divide once a month, and the produced algae can be carted off to where ever it's needed. This makes them effective solutions for areas that can't sustain complex installations.
So yeah, there's actually quite a lot of places that would like these. Lots of people currently breathing in terrible quality air would much rather have their boring city benches replaced with really fucking cool algae tanks that clean the air and can be used to help create + sustain future green spaces in cities. I dunno about you, but I'd take that over a dumb metal bench any day. Put these at every bus stop and I'd be delighted.
can ppl pls reblog this version
Well damn. I was also like wtf is this stupid slime tank and then I read the rest and my mind got blown
Those who did this in Gaza have no right to utter a single word about humanity, justice, or fairness. Those who drop bombs without warning and kill tens of thousands of innocent people cannot be considered human. Those who occupy land that is not even human for 78 years and commit thousands of massacres cannot be considered human and possess human feelings. Those who exterminate, besiege, and commit genocide and ethnic cleansing against 2 million people for 3 years are not human.
Yesterday marked the Palestinian Nakba, a day of profound sorrow for the Palestinian people. It is the worst day they have endured since that time, as Israel committed thousands of massacres, forcibly displacing millions of Palestinians from their homeland and building amusement parks, synagogues, and resorts on the graves of tens of thousands of Palestinians. These people cannot be considered human; they are Zionist Nazis and monsters.
Israel has committed thousands of massacres since 1948, the most severe, brutal, and well-documented of which—though the Zionists deny it—is what has happened to us here in Gaza since 2023. Dozens of massacres have resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands, the starvation and displacement of two million people, and the denial of medicine, food, water, and travel to safe countries. Where is the humanity in all of this? All we are trying to do is stay alive under these conditions. Please save us. Please help us and donate to us now.
GoFundMe deleted my previous campaign, and this isn't the first time they've done this. Please donate now. I swear, you are our last hope to get out of here and stay alive. Please donate.

This is Gaza, where not a single house remains standing. We are without shelter, without food, without water. We are dying. We are being bombed every day. We are beingThe destruction is greater. shot at in the middle of Gaza City. Where is the ceasefire agreement? Where is the humanity? They are shooting at and targeting people who go to get some firewood for their families to cook. We are truly oppressed. The bombing is still
And I… am part of this story. I lost my leg in this war, and I didn't just lose the pain… I lost a part of my life. I try to stand, but the ground shakes under the shelling, and I try to live, but death surrounds us on all sides. Where is the ceasefire? Where is humanity? We're not asking for much… just to live. This isn't a story… this is the reality we live every day.
In Gaza… we no longer count the days, but rather those who remain alive. The bombing never stops, and fear permeates every moment. I lost my leg in this war… but the real pain is that I still see death all around me every day. We search for water… for food… for safety, but find only destruction. Where is the world? Where is mercy? We want nothing more than one simple thing… to live in peace.
I just dream of getting out… of getting treatment… of being able to stand again. Is that too much to ask?
Please help me with this.

As you can see, Israel continues to commit war crimes and genocide by preventing access to water, medicine, food, and fuel, while international and medical organizations and bodies insist on the necessity of providing these necessities, which Israel continues to deny.
There are thousands, even tens of thousands, of patients who need treatment but cannot find it, and who need surgeries but cannot find anyone to perform them due to the scarcity of equipment and medical staff. Among them is my father, who suffers from cancer, a disease that has exhausted him and destroyed his health.
I'm writing this post because my father's health is deteriorating rapidly and significantly. He needs surgeries periodically and requires medication to take daily. We desperately need your support at this time. Please donate now, and share if you can't. Every little bit of help makes a difference. Please donate.
Nader's father needs pain relief. Donate what you can. This is campaign number 4 on the @gazavetters account. I personally assure you that your donations will go directly to Nader, his family, and his ailing father.
Please help Nader and his father by sharing this post and donating to him. They truly need and deserve help. Help in any way you can.
Please give us whatever you can. Please don't ignore this post and donate now, please.
If my sister dies, remember that she begged you and asked you for a small donation or to share her post. I will not forgive anyone who sees this post and does not support her with a single word or a small donation and ignores her.
I’m writing this post with tears in my eyes from the intense pain she is experiencing. She has suffered from severe pain and multiple fainting spells over the past two weeks due to severe anemia and her inability to afford all the medications she needs because of their high cost. All she wishes for is to never faint again, so I hope you will stand by her and help her buy her medications quickly. Please donate.
Worse still, she is suffering from a severe decline in her health and significant difficulty with movement, as the pain and weakness have made it very hard for her to live a normal life. She needs urgent medical follow-up and continuous treatment to improve her condition, but the cost of treatment is extremely high and she cannot afford it. Now she cannot sleep properly due to constant pain, and she cannot afford the medications and painkillers that could relieve her because of their high prices.
She needs your help to stop her pain and save her as quickly as possible. Please, she does not want to die. Help us raise the money for her treatment and surgery as soon as possible. Please stand by her. Please donate.
Help us please share and donate if you can!!

Reblogs in a chain now get their own notes
The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve.
Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.
If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.
Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.
This is just the beginning. More changes are coming as we keep building this out – stay tuned!
It’s very clear that you all have strong feelings about Tumblr and about this change. We hear you. The passion people have for how Tumblr works is one of the things that makes this place special.
As this rolls out over the next few days and you explore it, we’ll keep reading your replies and reblogs, so please keep sharing your questions, concerns, and ideas.
Your creativity has always been the heart of Tumblr, whether you’re the original poster or adding something brilliant in the reblogs, and nothing about this change is meant to limit that.
If you’d like to talk directly beyond the comments, leave a reply and we’ll follow up with as many of you as we can. We want to work with you to make Tumblr better.
hey folks do we like this. reblog without commentary for reach
do we want this?
yes

Tl;dr how you can personally make Neil Gaiman lose money (and not be a jerk to others.)
I see a lot of folks upset that NG will financially benefit from residuals and other compensation surrounding his involvement in the adaptation of Sandman and Good Omens (and he will.) But the answer isn’t “rage at the fans who are so emotionally attached to their blorbos because they grieve differently, and then somehow NG will be financially punished.” That’s lower-class/middle-class thinking. NG is too rich and financially diversified to really be hurt by little boycott or a couple of show cancellations (though said cancellations can cause life-changing poverty to the little guys who signed contracts and turned down other opportunities before all of this came out. Boy does NG love women in poverty 🤮)
So if you want to substantially reduce the wealth of someone at NG’s financial level—you need to do it with professional services fees.
Details below the cut:
I've reblogged this like 20 times but knowing he's suing one of his victims has made me come back to do it some more because fuck him. How very fucking dare he.
Let's hit him in his fucking pocket.
Time to remind everyone that Neil Gaiman is a sexual predator.

Tanith Lee was the first woman to win the British Fantasy Award for best novel, for the second book of the Flat Earth series. She died in 2015. You can buy Tales From the Flat Earth here and here .
You can also borrow some of Tanith Lee’s books from the Internet Archive if you are unable to buy them.
Here’s a link to Night’s Master, the first book in the Flat Earth series.
I cannot recommend Lee’s work enough. And it pains me that I’d never even heard of her until last year.
This is Gaza today !!!
Despite the talk of a ceasefire, the bombing continues and the danger never stops. Explosions do not distinguish between a home and a tent, or between a child and a woman. The occupation repeatedly violates the ceasefire, proving that there is no safe place here and no guarantee of life.
With the announcement that the Rafah crossing will be opened for civilians to leave, we are not asking for comfort or escaping responsibility we are asking for survival. We want to leave Gaza because staying means living under constant threat of death, under bombardment that never stops and promises that are never honored.
Leaving Gaza today is not a political choice, but a humanitarian necessity.
We want to live, to be in a safe place, away from this permanent danger, before we are added to the endless list of victims.
Please help my dear friend Ghada! Even if you can’t donate, please share this post!

Not to go "if you have ADHD just go for a run" or anything, but I am so serious if you have ADHD you should regularly go outside, no headphones no phone no nothing and just stand and observe for a while until you've had enough. Not until you get bored, until you've had enough. Drink your coffee without watching tiktok. Have a bath without music. Turn down the volume in your headphones. I cannot overstate how much learning to be bored is cruicial with ADHD. Life is not just about pleasure, no matter what your dysregulated dopamine system thinks, and when you teach your brain to be okay with being bored, then boring tasks stop feeling like torture. By letting yourself be bored you are yoinking your system out of the high/low binary and allow for the highs to feel like actual highs and not just anything that isn't low. I am so serious go literally touch grass. Listen to the sounds in your flat. Stimulate your body the way it was designed. It lowers anxiety and makes you feel like you're real and best of all it's completely free
I really wish more ADHD mental health care told you WHY things like this matter to our quality of life.
The Hyperactivity in Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is NOT about being physically hyperactive, it's about having a "hyperactive central nervous system" because it's a form of inheritable dysautonomia. The problem with disautonomia, especially the ADHD kind, is that it makes boredom flag to your nervous system as a THREAT, triggering hyperactive and maladaptive central nervous system processes like fight or flight.
But dysautonomia kills you that way. Literally, part of the reason our average life spand increase on stimulents is that it helps manage risk-taking impulsivity that can get us killed by accident, but the other part is that stimulents can regulate a hyperactive CNS such that it is functionally (while impacted by the stimulent) NOT dysregulated anymore. And PHYSIOLOGICALLY that is essential because the physical outcomes of dysautonomia can reduce your life span by YEARS if not decades through self-perpetuating hypervigelence, endocrine disruption, and adrenal fatigue.
So when the ADHD brain goes stimulation-seeking and a doctor tells you to practice mindfulness, it feels like being told "hey go stand in a functioning boiler until you can stop thinking" rather than WHAT IT IS which is the process of re-teaching your body what is and isn't safe.
Standing outside making mindful, non-interpretive/moralized observation of the world helps your brain and body re-acclimate to the idea that absence of that frantic "busy" feeling isn't a threat or a risk to your safety, and gradually reduces the level of distress that just hanging out somewhere triggers for you.
Learning WHY this stuff was being suggested and understanding what it was actually supposed to do went a long way towards changing my relationship with my ADHD. I am FAR more functional now, far less prone to shame spirals and rejection sensitivity, hell, I can **sit physically still for near on an hour at a time** now without feeling like I'm going to crawl out of my skin.
So yeah. Go outside. Let the world narrow around you and take deep breaths until it stops feeling claustrophobic or like you need to climb walls. Learn how to let little sensations become big ones like the way the heat of the sun on your skin starts as a gentle warming and be omes a unique collection of sensory moments depending on how it lands on you. Listen for sounds under sounds and let them fade in and out as you move your focus from one sound to the next. Enjoy. Move on. Rinse and repeat.
When you no longer feel like the world is actively killing you, it's a lot easier to navigate it.
S++ tier addition to the post, thank you tumblr user butts bouncing on the beltway
Apparently ICE now has agents posing as utility workers to get into people's homes. The electric and gas companies have posted information on how to tell if it's one of their workers, and numbers to call to confirm whether they've sent someone to do utility work on your house.
Stay safe, friends.
Oregon state Rep. Ricki Ruiz said three people were detained in his district after ICE agents posed as utility workers.
