we need to bring back old school tumblr communication and im so serious. sending an ask to a mutual just to say hello. seeing three different asks in your inbox all asking how your dentist appointment went. seeing a post you think one of your mutuals would enjoy and tagging them/sending it to them in the dms. nowadays its just silently liking a post or (if youre feeling extreme) replying under posts. WHAT HAPPENED TO US!! we used to be a proper community!!!! #LetsBringWhimsyBack

reblog if you want ppl to send you random lil' asks

under US law, it's illegal for anyone who's not a member of a recognised native tribe to own an eagle feather. the penalty is a $100,000 fine.

14 years ago when I had recently moved to Alaska, I went hiking with an Aleut friend, and she pointed to a feather lying on the ground and said "hey that's a bald eagle tail feather, you should grab it!" and I was like "uhh I'm very white and that's very illegal" and she went "they're fuckin everywhere up here man. I have 20." so she grabs it off the ground and hands it to me and says "there, now it's a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person."

and I'm like, okay, cool, I guess this is how we do things in Alaska. nice.

so I keep this bald eagle tail feather around for years. display it in my home among other cherished memorabilia from places I've lived and visited, etc.

on a whim, I have just now looked it up. there is no exemption to that law for a ceremonial gift from an indigenous person. the last 7 years I lived in the US, I was technically a bald eagle poacher.

probably a good thing I don't intend to move back there anytime soon. I wonder what the statute of limitations is on bird crimes.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

@freedomisscaryshit I'm fucking dying I think you forgot the word "feathers" in your tags?? or do you just wish you could grab whole ass eagles that land in your yard??

[emotional-support-husband]

As an Indigenous person, it continues to astound me that there are such strict laws (written by White people) in our name, laws against...picking up things just found on the ground. Like, stop pretending this is "for" us. We don't want this.

[dragon-in-a-fez]

so, for clarity, that's not what this is. the law against possessing feathers is an anti-poaching measure, derived from a North American treaty protecting certain migratory bird species from hunting. that treaty has an exemption for indigenous people to allow tribes that use eagle feathers in ceremonial or religious practices to continue doing so.

[chekhovs-raygun]

i used to collect feathers (illegally) as a teenager and the thing is that it's incredibly important for feathers from wild birds to be illegal to possess because it ensures that they never become fashionable to wear. the reason we passed the migratory bird act was because the american and european fashion industry was driving species to extinction in a timespan of years. not just decades. the ecological devastation of exporting birds for hats was absolutely insane and people were watching wetlands and forests and meadows just empty out in realtime. look at the wikipedia article for the plume trade.

the law against 'picking feathers up off the ground' means that you can't go shoot an eagle then sell the feathers on etsy by saying you 'just found them'. you can't own them no matter where they came from, which makes sure that they're not going to come from any birds killed and then secretly disposed of.

these laws, as harsh and ridiculous as they seem, saved flamingos, spoonbills, egrets, and all kinds of hawks and eagles from extinction. the minute these laws weaken and people can make money off killing them again, they're fucked.

Okay it might be time to do a full rewatch of this movie because the "nearly 6 months out from Doomsday, time to be obsessed with these dorks again" brainrot is setting in, but more needs to be said about how brilliant Lewis Pullman's performance is because his micro expressions in the Sentry scene are destroying me

Yelena starts going on about how he should leave Val and how this isn't him because she knows him, and you can see the pain and sadness in Bob's eyes before he even responds to her. He looks

a) confused that anyone, let alone Yelena (aka the person he looks up to the most at this point) actually seems to both like him and care about him

b) sorry for her that she cares about a loser like him because she deserves better

c) angry at himself for being such a loser and dragging Yelena and everybody else into his mess

d) resigned to the "fact" that he's broken and unlovable and not worth it and everybody would be better off not getting involved with him because he's only capable of hurting the people he cares about

His whole self-narrative plays out in his eyes in just a matter of seconds and it's not only a phenomenal piece of nonverbal acting but also just devastating to watch. You can tell how much Bob still hates himself underneath the facade and that adopting the Sentry persona hasn't done anything to heal him ☹️

Bonus: Yelena just wanting to help him but having absolutely no idea how to respond to the situation (ft. Bucky in the background probably reliving his trauma because he used to be Bob and he knows exactly what that self-loathing feels like)

I think a Negative Kudos button is really pointless first off (ao3 is an archive not a social media site! we don't need upvotes/downvotes to drive some nonexistent algorithm) but also it feels cowardly. like, there already is a way to share your dislike of a fic with the author. it's called commenting 'your fic is bad and I didn't like it.' but then you might look like an ass, and people might say hey that's mean, and you might have to defend your position of unkindness + consider why you feel the need to be rude to a stranger on the internet writing for fun and for free. a quick, impersonal, site-sanctioned Mean Kudos is really just a weenie move

Always bear in mind that there is absolutely no legitimate evidence that Luigi was actually the one who killed the insurance company guy.

[theconcealedweapon]

Of course he wasn't. He was at a party with me that day.

[tiny-space-whale]

No but like literally, actually. All bits aside.

He didn't do it.

The cops very clearly planted evidence on him because they had to make an arrest because all eyes were on them and whoever actually did the deed was making them look stupid.

Why would the real killer hero have kept the weapon on his person and traveled two states over while carrying it and a manifesto in his bag, conveniently turning the crime into a federal matter? The same guy whose bag they found in a park, filled with monopoly money? Why did the police turn off their bodycams, take Luigi's stuff, drive a block away, turn their bodycams back on, go back into the restaurant, and then arrest him?

From the moment of his arrest, even left-of-center media has been presuming his guilt without examining anything (e.g. calling him "the killer" instead of "alleged" or "accused") and then when I say he didn't do it, the nearest person chimes in with some quip that tells me they think he did do it but should go free anyway. Don't get me wrong, I would have the same attitude if he had done it. But he didn't. It makes me feel like the only sane person in the world, even among my staunchly leftist friends.

gah I love it when you’re writing and you actually get exited about the thing you’re writing.

like I just used a word I don’t usually use, and had to look up it’s definition to make sure it’s right. And it’s PERFECT for the use I need it for. And just. I’m now all giddy over one word.

It’s times like these I love writing.

ngl i feel like most fandom etiquette issues could be easily solved if we just stopped allowing minors to participate in online fandoms. i don't care if it's a SFW fandom space either, minors shouldn't be welcome in any fandom and im tired of people pretending otherwise. all fandoms should be 18+.

I strongly disagree. I participated in fandom way before I turned 18.

sure, fandom space, as well as anything that is on the internet, can be 18+ and not suitable for minors (but even then, that does not mean “minors must not engage with these things” — I read smut and watched porn when I was a minor, what matters isn’t whether or not they engage with “adult contents”, what matters is if they can safely consume/engage with stuff without revealing their personal information online and jeopardizing their own safety). but just like anything else on the internet, there are spaces, including fandom space, that minors can safely enjoy.

also fandom is about fun and having a source of comfort/a temporary getaway from reality when/if things are hard.

minors have just as much rights — to enjoy fandom space and have these fandom space as their source of comfort — as adults do.

it’s extremely selfish to try to gatekeep these to adults only.

being kind and respectful to each other is the fundamental etiquette that applies to everyone, be it minors or adults.

I decided that I want to practice perspective just to complain about it later. I create my own problems most of the time

At least it doesn't have to be boring if you choose interesting angles 😌

[dragon-in-a-fez]

keep thinking about how I wrote in my dissertation about how every time a new form of public/social space emerges it's immediately popular with kids and teenagers who see it as a chance at freedom and then adults colonise it and kick them out. this happened with malls in the 80s and diners in the 50s and pool halls in the 20s. my dad was doing research on this trend in like 1975. and I was like "yeah so this is going to happen to the internet" and then five years later every government suddenly decided to ban kids from everywhere online. I hate being right especially when I don't even get paid for it

[rimonoroni2]

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government
