a wretched hive of scum and villainy

30 or 40 years old, agender/poly/ace, magical forest queer, furry, they/he pronouns. enjoys TTRPGs, FFXIV, critical media analysis, pretty rocks, witchy bullshit, and dumb memes. would love to hear about your OCs. --- Remember when Tumblr had nudes on it? gosh I sure miss that. I still have my ye olde tags for dicks, tits, ladies, dudes, bdsm, het, alien/monster sex, robot sex, dragon sex or nsfw stuff in general, but now you can go there like you would go to a zoo to watch the endangered species slowly fading from the earth other tags you may find include: ffxiv digimon, pokemon, untamed, homestuck, steven universe, undertale, gravity falls, the raven cycle, and critrole. I don't tag consistently and unfortunately if you visit this blog you must accept this.

nobody worry too much because they all produce various oils and have different densities of fur to keep them dry and warm as well as seek out shelter under thick vegetation

There is no drug on earth that can replicate the absolute euphoria of hitting a writing flow state at 2:00 AM. You aren’t even typing anymore. You are a vessel. You are a channel for the gods. The characters are speaking directly into your brain and you’re just the stenographer trying to keep up. You feel like you could fight a bear. You feel like you invented the alphabet

Anyone can be discarded by society

[knifefightscene]

People get made fun of for being scared of aging but it comes from the very real fear of being discarded by society that’s why i always say the goal is not to never become old or disabled the future comes for us all the goal is better social policy

Hi, its me. The warmest creature in the world. I love you. Im the warmest creature in the world and I love you so much and I need to be in your lap right now. Yes, I know about the heat wave. That's okay though because I was already the warmest creature in the world so I don't mind. I love you and you need to let me sleep in your lap right now. I'm soooo warm and I love you sooo much. If you say no you'll be saying no to a thing that love you. Let me sleep in your lap. When I fall asleep I get warmer. I love you

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

not to be dramatic but…there’s some good in this world mr frodo…..and it’s worth fightin for

awesome beach near me

[hylianengineer]

I was going 'where the fuck did that come from?' and then I looked it up:

A) no fucking wonder and B) that's honestly really cool I'd love to go there. With a dosimeter and a Geiger counter and some extra PPE. I'm a radiation professional, it would be fine.

The radioactive trash is glow-in-the-dark deck markers from old ships that kept sailors from falling overboard in the dark - two of them were found on the beach, and, more concerningly, they've leaked and contaminated the soil around them.

Some people are debating whether this really constitutes a significant hazard, and I have to agree that I've got doubts, although I can't be very confident one way or the other without knowing how much radium is in the things. If the radium was still contained I'd be less worried, but one of the things that makes items like radium watches fairly safe is that they do stay contained. Breaking one, as these deck markers have been broken, is more risky.

I understand why the NPS didn't want to be responsible for what might happen if the public got its hands on these things. I wouldn't want that on my head, either. It's probably not too dangerous with appropriate precautions, but the public cannot be universally relied upon to take precautions. The nightmare scenario would be someone managing to ingest high levels of radium, perhaps by handling a broken deck marker and then eating with contaminated hands.

To a radiation safety professional, that immediately brings to mind the Goiana incident - which killed several people. That was a scarier source, but this is far from safe. I'd also be worried about accidental injection of radium if anybody got cut on contaminated glass. On the broken glass beach.

The thing about radium is if it gets in your body, it sticks around. It likes to mimic calcium and get into your bones. Radioactive artifacts like this aren't super harmful outside the body, when they're sealed, but internal contamination could be really nasty.

Wait, 2005?! 20 years? This doesn't actually sound that hard to clean up, but - oh. I bet it's a funding thing. It's the NPS and rad waste disposal is expensive as fuck. So is the expertise and equipment you'd need for that type of project. And then you'd have to worry about whether there might be more than the 2 discovered sources in there - because it's Ra226, most of the radiation would be blocked if anything was buried under the rest of the trash. And the terrain (broken glass) is horrible for the bulkier and more sensitive types of detectors, too.

Yeah, they're really not fixing this anytime soon, are they? That's a mess.

[hylianengineer]

Ooh, it got worse! 31 sites is very different than 2. But hey, some parts of the beach are still open! Just not the radioactive bits.

Love that you’re making it clear exactly what physical demands this job has, but could you possibly, potentially, phrase it differently?
