An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

Either people need to learn how to tell the difference between an “I’m sorry” that takes direct responsibility and an “I’m sorry” that signifies sympathy, or I’m gonna start responding to unfortunate information with a solemn nod and a “Sympies,” because I am tired of receiving a “Why? It wasn’t your fault” every time I try to vocalize compassion.

They are very much not back (yet), but there are 4 wild trees that survived and produce viable nuts. Their locations are secret for obvious reasons but the nuts are collected and planted. I'll have to look into it but the saplings available are probably the extras that don't get used in they hybridization and resistance experiments. So, almost certainly not going to survive till maturity, but there's always a chance! And its a good for education and outreach and reminding the land of what used to be here, and we will keep working to bring back!

Edited to say that it looks like there are at least some hybrid saplings!

[nimblermortal]

The American Chestnut Foundation will give you the chance to buy nuts or saplings - what they offer varies by year. Last year, since we were recovering from Helene, I sprung for a seed level membership, which gets you 4 wild type (original unybridized) nuts, and then got to order a dozen hybridized nuts as part of that membership. I'm a pretty crap gardener, so only a few of those survived.

It is still considered an experiment, so you have to sign an agreement not to propagate the plants.

[kittydesade]

…. I need to get rid of some Bradford pears in my yard, I wonder if I could replace one of them with a chestnut.

[headspace-hotel]

the forest where I work has a small population, they are still vulnerable to the blight but several of them are able to grow big enough to produce nuts before they die. This means they could have some genetic immunity to the blight and their offspring could be more likely to survive.

so there is a grove of baby chestnut trees that have been intentionally planted up in the forest to try to preserve these genetics

This tent was our only shelter. I bought it for $900, already used. It didn’t last long… one strong wind was enough to destroy it completely.

Since the beginning of the war until today, we haven’t even received half a tent to replace it.

I’m writing this knowing I have more than 2,200 people here… if just 90 people chose to help with $10, we could secure a new tent for my family.

Link to our campaign & verification in bio.

And if anyone can help me connect with any initiative or organization that provides tents, I would be deeply grateful.

Please don’t leave us without shelter.

[beserkerjewel]

Please help!

[nourasbasha]

My four children are all under 12 years old, and it's just me and my wife. This tent is no longer usable; it's completely worn out. If anyone is able to donate, here's our donation link, and also this is the verification number #644 on the @/gazavetters list.

[autisticmudkip]

Please, help them get the shelter they need!

[nourasbasha]

The war destroyed our home, and now we live on the street in the open. Our tent is now tattered. We accept living the simplest, most primitive life for the sake of our children's safety. Please help us, even with a little, so that my children can stay safe.

[anqerr]

Help out please!!

[nourasbasha]

I cry in anguish... our situation is pitiful... we do not live a human life... it is painful... I have a bad feeling... we are just living dead.

The problem with playing smash or pass is that there's a lot of characters which I'm not sexually attracted to but I would fuck in a heartbeat out of sheer curiosity and ego, like I don't find Mickey Mouse attractive at all but if he approached me at a bar and went "Hey sexy, want me to show you my mouseketool?" I would say yes because then I get to tell my friends I fucked Mickey Mouse

[hobgoblinhero]

Smash Or Pass should never be about attraction, that's what Hear Me Out is for. A Smash on Mickey Mouse is understandable, even respectable. A Hear Me Out on Mickey Mouse however, that requires a lab dissection

it's honestly pretty incredible how much influence on Cybperunk one black gun otaku weeaboo ended up having, to such a degree that much of his contribution to genre conventions is now so normal as to be invisible as contributions and not just natural to the genre. Say "thank you Mike Pondsmith, mechs and katana are cool"
