Hi! Senior geology student with a special interest in volcanoes here!

As people are freaking out in the notes, I want to clarify a few things about volcanoes, and in particular Yellowstone.

1) Yellowstone is not "overdue for an eruption". That concept is a misunderstanding of how geologists determine the annual likelihood of a volcanic eruption. Volcanoes don't follow a schedule. A volcano's per-year likelihood of eruption is based on an average amount of time between major eruptions in the past. If a volcanoes average time between eruptions is 725,000 years, there is a 1/725,000 chance of it erupting in any given year. It is NOT a prediction of future eruptions. A volcano could erupt twice in two years. It could erupt one year and then never again.

2) someone mentioned the volcano being "150 years overdue for an eruption". That is a NEGLIGIBLE amount of time on the geologic time scale. There's an average 725,000 years between the last few eruptions. 150 years is nothing.

3) If a Yellowstone eruption DID occur, it would not likely be a catastrophic one. As the magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is mostly solid, it isn't likely that there's even enough magma for an eruption. Yellowstone may not ever even HAVE another catastrophic eruption.

4) When people say that "scientists say Yellowstone could erupt next week" or anything along those lines it's deliberate misinterpretation to get you to read an article. Every single time the scientist is trying to explain why Yellowstone isn't overdue, and that a volcano could erupt today or 500,000 years from now, therefore fearmongering about it needs to stop.

5) yes, there were 111 recorded earthquakes in Yellowstone during march. There were also 62 in Washington State in the last week. Earthquakes are literally always happening, and the Yellowstone observatory has stated that this activity is normal. Even where you are right now there are earthquakes. You may not feel them yourself, but a seismograph does. Earthquakes and a geyser are not indicative of a Yellowstone supereruption.

6) Steamboat geyser went through periods of more frequent eruptions in the 60s and 80s as well. This is not new.

The Earth isn't stable and unchanging. Don't freak out every time Yellowstone Does A Thing. That's what Earth does.

Are there any further concerns?

Thank you so much for this. I'm in a really bad depressive period and this false news about Yellowstone has made it so much worse do I deeply appreciate you explaining

Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish followers. May the next several days bring you light and blessings.

My life is just a constant journey to seek warmth. No metaphor. I mean like coats and jackets. Getting under the sheets and standing under heat lamps. Soup.

Getting a little bit tired of posts that are like “adhd is only a disorder because of capitalism” as if it’s mr monopoly man’s fault that i struggle to stay committed to artistic projects i undertook personally for myself and that I enjoy, have trouble regulating my emotions, and procrastinate on eating and going to the bathroom.

I get what they are trying to say, but even if capitalism didn’t exist I would still want to have things like “the motivation to clean my living space and the ability to actually notice that it’s dirty.” I know this is part of the misperception of adhd, but adhd doesn’t just affect academics and work. It affects EVERYTHING, including your personal goals and your own basic needs

We really have to make sure we include sex workers in our activism moving forward.

Especially since Biden/Harris are also pretty anti-sw and there has already been a lot of damage done in the past few years in regards to laws like SESTA/FOSTA that claim to be anti-trafficking but actually hurt both consensual sex workers as well as trafficked individuals.

I'm not going to be the only person you see talking about this in the coming months and years. It's important to note that a lot of people have turned to doing sw during the pandemic (which is part of the reason onlyfans has blown up- because yes it is sex work).

Sex workers deserve respect and protection under the law. Period.

thanksgiving is cancelled in 2020. instead, november will be a month of Dionysian madness, casting curses, moonlight revelry, dubious self-care methods, ritual sacrifice, and mashed potatoes. 

[renthony]

And we’re off to an excellent start.
