how can I be the greatest hero without you ?
Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.
Cybertruck. It was a cybertruck.
context (via @mellorocket)
doubly funny that I saw a compilation of all the corporate accounts like "aw thanks elmo, we're doing well" meanwhile all the flesh and blood real human people are extremely not okay
Okay but Elmo had actually the best and sweetest response to all this trauma dumping:
And then all the other Sesame Street character accounts joined in:
And now I’m thinking maybe we’re gonna be okay… 💗
(Comment compilation from this Twitter)
I kinda feel for the poor person running Elmo's Twitter.
"So, boss... I may have messed up."
"What did you do, Ray?"
"Well, I made a post for Elmo saying 'Hi, how's everybody doing?'"
"I mean, that's kind of what we pay you for."
"Yeah, but.... <sigh> it turns out pretty much everyone is hanging on by a thread, badly enough that they needed to tell Elmo."
"Oh."
"God help me, boss, I think Elmo needs to be there for them."
"Get the others."
this is the energy that jim henson would be proud of.

I FINALLY FINISHED IT, 😭😭 It took me a lot to make a background that I will like.
So we definitely need more positive representation of DID, but you know what would be funny? Mildly inconvenient representation of DID.
Oh the world is ending and you need to know about this one specific thing? Yeah I have a guy for that but he doesn't feel like fronting right now
Sorry what's happening rn is this the bad guy? Yeah I just switched in idk what's going on
I know you're dating one alter but we're currently co-con with another alter who hates you so idk how I'm feeling rn
And just who do i think I am? It's funny you should ask that I actually don't know right now
Wait I just remembered this. here u go :3
honourable mention
I keep getting tagged in things, going "oh I'll look later cause this is overwhelming" then forget about it for too long so I just look rude. Sorry :'D

The most Unfortunate Situations to be in when a Zombie Apocalypse suddenly breaks out
on a first date that was not going well, but now you're stuck on the run with your date
on a long, isolated hike, returning to desolate cities with no way to get any information on what happened, where survivor communities might be, how to stay safe, etc.
on a ride at an adventure park, watching everyone on the ground be overrun while pinned in place with a dozen or so people
on set for a zombie movie, unable to tell actors and the real thing apart
at a con in full costume, which makes for surprisingly good protection from bites but not a very comfortable outfit to be on the run in
having just left the tattoo parlor after getting your partner‘s bite mark tattooed… which no one would ever believe, so everyone thinks you‘re infected

Younger folk are getting really good at spotting AI slop, to the consternation of marketing execs.
Found on Mastodon.
From what I remember of back when Millennials were outpacing Boomers at internet and tech stuff in general, this is going to cause a lot of issues for companies angling to use slop in marketing because the younger set are always going to be better at spotting it than the older, but the older are going to be the ones approving marketing campaigns and ads and etc. Meaning, the older people will not ever be able to tell what might actually convince the younger.
The good news is that if it persists and Gen Z and Gen Alpha continue to scoff at the generated stuff, then marketing departments aiming at them will just have to give up on using it because they won't be able to figure out how to fool their targets with it.
The bad news is that this won't apply to scams and campaigns aimed at older people, so once again we're going to have a situation where the kids will be the ones lunging across the coffee table to stop Mom from giving her financial info to that really obvious fake scam mom oh my god do NOT buy that it isn't even a real thing.
Anyway godspeed to the younger generations.
Btw, when writing superheroes, their powers need to get them INTO danger instead of OUT of it
In order to write interesting characters and compelling action scenes, the audience needs to believe that there is risk. As such, if superpowers like teleportation or immortality are not written correctly (since there are always exceptions) they can get boring.
This is a rule of thumb which helps me keep my characters grounded and my plot threads interesting. Hope this helps :]

There are a lot of things that tell you that The Boys has been written by a man.
For example, Kimiko’s entire arc this season and the fact that the only way they’ve given her speech and autonomy is through speech used to make jokes about watching porn and speaking like a 12-year-old. The fact that Annie is clearly the leader of a political resistance against Homelander, but they’ve completely sidelined that storyline, we’re told about it but never actually shown it. The fact that they reduced the character of Marie Moreau to a plot device, when she was supposedly meant to be key to defeating Homelander. The fact that they turned Sister Sage into a literal meme. Like, suddenly she’s the smartest woman in the world, but she can’t understand emotions… sorry, what? Intelligence isn’t just memorising facts, it has multiple forms, and emotional intelligence is one of them. So if she’s the smartest person in the world, she has to be the smartest in every sense. But then she somehow can’t even figure out something like Soldier Boy being completely in love with a Nazi. The fact that Ashley has barely served any purpose this season, when she’s been there since the very beginning of the show, and has had zero meaningful character development until the very end when it looked like she might finally get some after what happened with A-Train, but nothing ever came of it.
But above all, there’s something key: the way Soldier Boy is handled.
He’s a deeply misogynistic man, and in his first season he had more layers. But this season, his only function is basically to make jokes about fucking with women, very basic “hetero dude” humour about bragging that he’ll stick it in anything. And no one, absolutely no one, ever calls him out as the pathetic example of fragile masculinity that he is. A man who hides behind the mask of the “fuckboy alpha male” persona to compensate for emotional dysfunction and a fragile ego, constantly reinforcing his identity through sexual conquest because that’s all he has. And it’s obvious. If you actually said two sharp things to him, he’d fall apart. He’s not impressive, he’s a mess. He’s arguably even more pathetic than Homelander in a way, because Homelander is psychotic and mentally unstable, whereas Soldier Boy is just a washed-up nepo baby coping through sex, drugs, and ego inflation, because he has no real emotional regulation skills. And the moment you strip away that persona, there’s nothing there. If you told him his entire “sexual conquest identity” means nothing, he’d crumble emotionally, because that’s the only thing propping him up.
And in a show written by women, that kind of character would’ve been dismantled immediately, because he’s the textbook example of fragile masculinity. Instead, nothing happens to him. Why? Because it’s written by men.
I’m tired of shows written by men, because women are treated terribly in them, and the male characters — who feel like they’ve stepped straight out of childhood He-Man toys — get all the screen time in the world.
Dave Brandt was so much more than a meme. He partnered with universities to experiment with and expand soil conservation and cover crop techniques, worked to educate other farmers through worldwide conventions and direct mentorship, founded the Soil Health Academy, and was called the "Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil health" by the chief of the USDA's conservation department.
There is no healthy planet without healthy ag practices, and this guy was a legend.
The A-horizon on his farm was 4 feet deep
You do not understand
Most modern Ag operations don’t even have a proper A-Horizon. They’re too busy turning the earth every time they replant. The A-horizon is the Black Gold that makes Soil Soil. It’s a structurally complex soil horizon that must be built in place by the interactions of Plants and Fungi and Insects. It is The Thing that soaks up rain and holds onto it for plants. The A-Horizon is The Thing that builds up when you let a field sit fallow. The act of tilling creates fecundity by breaking up the A-horizon. On a really good Organic no-till farm you might find an A-horizon between 3-6 inches.
His A-horizon was 4 feet deep. 50 inches.
I-
I have no context. His farm was covered in a living skin thick enough for a child to stand in.
Gives me hope for what we could accomplish if we got our collective heads on straight, you know? Like. This was one guy. A brilliant man, who knew what he was up to, but. The thing about brilliant ideas is they can be shared.
50 inches. The mind reels.
This is so much more impressive than I can understand and comprehend and I would love to know more about A horizon
Do you love the color of the Soil?
Humus, or Humic Compounds, are a cryptic and poorly understood set of organic substances. As the final metabolic result of once-living things being digested first by macroscopic organisms, and then by microorganisms, they resist most forms of analysis, and have cryptic structures. A few that we have managed to isolate and study are the Humic & Fulvic Acids.
Humus has a number of remarkable tendencies. It is capable of retaining water far better than any raw mineral clay; it also retains electrically charged clay granules, which themselves retain mineral ions, all of which is essential to make a soil a high-quality resource for Plants to grow in.
A composter is a box that contains an environment that is conducive to the production of Humus, but the best way to produce it is in-place, by laying layers of organic material down over an unbroken earth and growing things out of that. The interaction of the plants rooting, the fungus weaving itself through everything, the bacteria and archaea metabolizing as they do, and inorganic weathering forces all combine to gradually build up the microscopic equivalent of a complex megastructure capable of retaining far more water, and containing far more nutrients, than any inorganic substrate.
This stuff is black gold. This is the stuff that determines whether or not a plot of land is going to be “productive.” The knowledge of how to make it, how to care for it, is an essential piece of wisdom that our civilization needs to remember.
Fortunately, folks seem to have the right response:
Farmers are more important to the continuity of civilization than administrators, no matter what the elitists say. This knowledge is important.
Exactly
I LOVE LOVE LOVE your jurrassic world fics with the Indoraptor, I-Rex and the D-Rex. There are so few fics like this, it's criminal 😢. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much!!! That's so kind of you to say!!! I'm really, really glad that you enjoyed them!!! 💖 I always get sad whenever I can't find a fic that I want to read and then I roll up my sleeves to write it myself lol. I always forget the plotlines a while after posting and then I get to enjoy the twists in my own work hehe. I'm planning on writing for more dinosaurs soon so be prepared! 🦖🦕🥰
