Oh hey there's a title

29, fem, from the USA. I used to have a cool sidebar here with aesthetic links and w/e but tumblr changed their stuff and broke it. Mostly cuz I've been on this place since 2011 and never got a theme. NOR WILL I. Thats my original title too. I am cringe and I will not remove my first ever baby posts.  If you need/want anything tagged please let me know.

I know everything is shit fucked sixteen ways before lunch time, but it remains a fact that you should not trust anyone who wants you to feel like the whole world hates you all the time. That's a person trying to sell you something, swallow you whole, or bleed you dry. Especially those times when it feels like they're right.

No one wants anything good from you who wants you always feeling scared and hated. They will wear you out and leave you in the bin the second fashions change. Things are extremely high levels of fucked, but you are not hated like that. It's scary and isolating but you are not alone like that. Worst case, come and shiver like a wet dog with me, I won't say anything and we can dry out.

I know we’re all like lawless nonconformists but you really can’t be texting and driving. that’s one of the ones you’ve gotta listen to for real

Not even at stoplights!!! I know it’s so so tempting to just glance at your phone when you’re stopped, but there’s actually something called “distraction hangover” where even once you put your phone down, your brain is still processing the interaction and isn’t fully paying attention to the road for up to 30 seconds afterwards. So it’s still really dangerous even if you’re stopped when you look at your phone. If you need to check something on your phone, pull over.

this especially applies to people with adhd. you know that symptom you may have heard of called “difficulty transitioning between tasks”? you don’t want piloting a ton or two of potential death to be the task you can’t mentally switch back to.

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

What's so great about the great bustard? A lot of things- but the greatest of all is probably that they can lay claim to fame as one of the heaviest flying birds! The heaviest of them can weigh upwards of 18 kg (40 lbs)- and to help them lift all that weight, they boast a 2.7 m (8 ft 10 in) wingspan!

Oh, that's really what it was about? Not like, 'how do I say I like Filmy Films without sounding rude?' I'd say I'm confused how that became a convo at all but I guess they did put me on a reblog chain for it when I just totally misunderstood, so I guess I am not confused?

If you notice there's less lightning bugs around then there was when you were young, you aren't going crazy. Lightning bugs/fireflies are becoming endangered!

Above is a video from one of my favorite youtubers, Ze Frank, that goes into more detail.

Lightning bug conservation is not being funded, so the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation requires donations to further their research. The aim is to establish lighting bug sanctuaries and begin habitat restoration efforts.

Studying these little guys has done so much for us in many different fields including medicine! It's important that lightning bugs are protected so future generations can experience that magical feeling of sitting in a field surrounded by little lights.

Fireflies are cherished, but they are also declining. Based on assessments published on the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s

Please consider donating! Every bit helps🐝

Summertime is approaching, prime lightning bug season. Bringing this post back because there's still work to be done! The Xerces Society does more then just protect lightning bugs, but butterflies and bees too!

They also have a free PDF guide on how to make your yard/property/garden as firefly safe as possible!

Fireflies are some of our most celebrated insects. They have immense cultural, biological, and economic importance and are important compone

Long live the fireflies!

one of my favorite things that's happened during my playthrough of Subnautica 2 so far:

this fish, the Marrowbreach, is labelled to be (and upon basic observation, appears to be) very dangerous and aggressive and scary, so a lot of the time spent interacting them is specifically spent avoiding, or trying to escape them. they have a very specific, telegraphed attack where they launch towards the player in a super scary way.

however. i noticed that despite their scary appearance and loud growling noise, they don't actually do much damage when they attack you. and so i thought to myself "am i categorizing this unfamiliar social activity as aggression? am i being reductive towards how this creature actually operates? am i sure it's not just playing with me?"

and i was right.

not to ask you to swing a bat at a hornets nest but im not involved in the phm fandom very much, what misogynistic stuff is happening wrt adrian?

no it's okay LOL it's just very typical fandom behaviour where shipping is involved. since adrian is pretty much a total blank slate of a character people have to make up their own traits for them, and unfortunately some people don't examine their biases, or just want a quick and easy template to work off so they can create fan content faster, and end up falling back on negative stereotypes as a result. so i've seen several highly polarising iterations of adrian where they're either what i can only describe as rocky's "bitch wife" (ie: bizarrely conservative (even xenophobic), more emotionally driven to the point of being unreasonable, jealous, overbearing) or this "the bride and the ugly ass groom" deal where they're absurdly out of anyone else's league but settled for rocky because he deserves a hot trophy wife i guess (at least that's the underlying implication, since adrian gets comparatively very little interiority beyond being rocky's hot mate - never mind that andy weir said rocky is reasonably attractive by his species' standards). none of this is to say that those characterisations should be entirely off-limits - adrian being "imperfect" and having a complex emotional response to the changes that rocky and grace's return to erid would cause is interesting and makes for compelling explorations of the relationships between the characters; adrian being attractive and possessing a lot of social capital because of this is likewise something that holds a great deal of potential for fanwork - but often adrian is positioned as this awkward third party obstacle to gracerocky who cannot be more complex and nuanced than either perfectly loving and motherly (like many female characters) or an abusive spouse who doesn't deserve rocky (like many female characters who are the canonical wives or girlfriends of popular male characters). on top of this i've seen more than a few people trying to assign adrian she/her pronouns because it just "feels right" to them, or "seems like something they would do", since rocky got he/him, or he/himming adrian but very clearly positioning them as "the woman" in the relationship. like come on. why do we have to apply heteronormative tropes to genderless rock aliens from another solar system. we've already got quirky fictional m/f couples like jessica and roger rabbit and malfina and connecticut clark can we Please be a little more creative.

[valtsv]

oh definitely, assigning rocky he/him pronouns and associating him with masculine ideals very much forces adrian into this "wife waiting at home for her husband to return from the war" kind of role by implication - having grace use the neutral they/them for adrian actually compounds the issue by distinguishing rocky specifically as male and, intentionally or not, influencing the audience to read into his behaviour and make assumptions about his character through a gendered lens - and fandom is by no means the origin point of misogyny, just a great breeding ground for it
