The Vjosa-Narta area in Albania is a crucial stopover site for migrating birds between Europe and Africa and is one of the most important we
Hi everyone,
Not my usual content but I thought I’d try and bring some awareness to an important environmental issue.
The Vjosa-Narta Lagoon is home to thousands of migratory birds like the Dalmatian Pelican and Flamingo, while they journey between Europe and Africa. This region of wetlands Albania is one of the very few undisturbed areas left in the entire Mediterranean. It’s now being threatened by foreign investors (such as Jared Kushner…..) looking to build luxury resorts, villas and even an airport on what was supposed to be protected land. These developments seem to have been rammed through with little to no public input or environmental impact assessments.
The people of Albania are protesting as well as they can, but they could use your help spreading awareness. The more eyes and public pressure we get on the situation the better.

Thank you 😊
hi trans indigenous people I love you
hi indigenous people who don't identify with the label trans because you exist outside of the Western gender binary I love you
Happy Pride!
Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

i feel. like on a fundamental level. i do not understand x reader fic. i am not exactly opposed to it because let a thousand blossoms bloom etc. but like. i genuinely don’t get it. it seems like the exact opposite of how i engage with fiction. like the whole point is that i’m not in there. i don’t wanna be in there. if i’m in there it’s going to be very stressful.

Longtime readers may be aware of how much I relish an excuse to bully a company, so I'm sharing the wealth;
Clothing company Patagonia is currently sueing drag queen Pattie Gonia for "irreparable” harm to their brand.
To be clear; Pattie named herself after the region in South America.
So Pattie is asking people to politely ask Patagonia to drop the lawsuit.
I'm extending the invitation to all of you, because sueing a drag queen for 'infringement' in the current political cultural landscape is vile. Especially a drag queen who has raised millions of dollars for non-profits, uses her platform to raise awareness for climate activism, and fully aligns with Patagonia's apparent climate-conscious mission statement.
They're claiming they're sueing for $1. They're actually asking her to stop using her name, and pay over $1 million in legal fees. They're straight up harassing her.
In contrast, drag queen Jan Sport has a Jansport bag line. It's that easy to just... work with a queen.
Anyway. Be respectful(ish), but feel free to be annoying on Patagnoia's socials, asking them to 'DROP THE LAWSUIT'
I think they have a twitter and tiktok too!
IF YOU SEE ANY PAINTING BY "EMILE CORSI" ON HERE, DO NOT REBLOG IT THINKING IT'S REAL AND FROM THE 1800s. IT IS AI-GENERATED AND EMILE CORSI IS NOT A HISTORICAL FIGURE
examples:
And if you love the vibes and wish you could find something similar painted by a real person, let me introduce you to John William Waterhouse, on whose work the AI was definitely trained:
Corsi is not real

hey chat did you guys know there's a whole website with informational videos on the rights you hold when interacting with ICE or witnessing interactions with ICE. all written by immigrants and for immigrants. idk man it'd be a shame if people watched these informational videos y'know.
Imagine washing up on Dinotopia and getting a talk saying "unfortunately, you can't escape this island! You'll never go home or see your loved ones ever again" & then while you're crying they say "I'm sorry, you'll just have to live on the island of dinosaur communism for the rest of your life" and you look up through your bleary eyes and go. Wait what
if you’re offline or away and i message you something (like a link to a meme or a picture or w/e) honestly just assume that i’m just leaving it there for when you get back and not expecting you to answer straight away. i don’t need you to respond with “hey, sorry, i wasn’t at the computer!” or anything. i was leaving u a gift for later.
This also applies if you’re online and just don’t want to or have the energy to deal with humans in the moment. Just because we have the ability to reply in real time does not mean we have the obligation.
im like a cat i drag the posts to ur doorstep and if ur not there it’s ok, the post will be on ur porch for later
seriously tho, that’s how the internet was intended to be, just in general. you reply to things when you get to it. idk how the HELL that ended up turning into a culture of constant availability, but that’s not how it was meant to work. constant availability is unhealthy.
I always say my DMs are a bulletin board, not a phone call. We come back to the conversation whenever, it doesn’t have to stop and start only when we’re both there. Something really joyous about walking up to a huge message from your pal replying to the huge message you sent them before sleep!
My rule of thumb is always “if it’s not time-sensitive it’s not time-sensitive”.
A message saying “hi how’s it going” or “want to get coffee sometime” or just generally chatting doesn’t come with a deadline attached. I never expect someone to get back to me within a given time frame unless that’s specified in the message (like, I’m inviting someone to a party and I need to know if they’re coming by a certain date so I know how many people to plan for, or I’m visiting the town they live in on a certain week and I want to know whether they’d like to hang out.)
Furthermore I’d rather hear back from someone a year after I sent the original message than not hear back from them at all because they were embarrassed about replying “late”. Far as I’m concerned if the message is just conversational and isn’t literally time-sensitive in any way, there’s no such thing as late.

i have been fortunate enough to live a life in the arts, creating things and following hallowed footsteps. its something many buckaroos dream of, and as someone who has done it, THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS i received are the moments in between. if you generate with AI, THAT is what you rob yourself of
anyone who has done theater will know this, because it lives in the energy backstage. anyone who has played in a band will know this, because it lives in the late night diner afterwards. anyone who has written a book will know this, because it lives the coffee shop where your plot point locked in
in other words IT IS NOT THE PRODUCT. yes, it is cool to see your name on a marquee or your book in a store or your face on a poster, but the REASON this is cool is because it tethers you to the BETWEEN TIMES. the between times are everything. the PROCESS of creation is a gift to yourself
i think this is REALLY difficult for these ai goofballs to understand, and why the things they make dont resonate. anything you create without the in between is just a hollow shell, a movie poster without small talk at crafty or an album without eating burritos on the studio rooftop
we have ALWAYS had the ability to NOT make something and pretend that we did. the difference now is theres an algorithm built for convincing people whove never stepped outside the theater door for a smoke break on opening night that they actually have. they have not. there is no ai for that.
because the only way to conjure the unfathomable magic of those in between moments is to live them, and when you get a hit of excitement from a prompted movie or book or song without a journey of creation, you rob yourself. you curse yourself to exist as a cardboard cutout who thinks they are whole

accidentally tabbed into the explore page and the first thing trending on tumblr is good omens... kind of blows my mind how a man being a violent rapist who pretty explicitly used the social capital he gained by being a famous author to abuse women is not enough to turn you off of doing Fandom Stuff with their work. but fictional men being more real to the average tumblr user than real women is not surprising so I guess I don't have any right to act scandalized. it's just depressing man
like there's a conversation to be had for sure about what the appropriate ways are to engage with the work of a still-living creative who has been proven to use the goodwill their fame has bought them to get away with abusing people. because I don't think asking for gaiman or anyone else's entire body of work to be completely removed from any kind of public discussion is reasonable or practical. but I don't know man I am just personally of the belief that Fandomposting identically to the type of fandomposting you were doing before these facts came to light is really not it no matter how much you might talk about hating him in between those fandomposts.
you are too old to be misunderstanding what "death of the author" means this badly. it's not very complicated at all. it refers to the audiences interpretation of a text superseding authorial intent, and has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not you excuse platforming someone who uses that platform to commit abuse. and to defend the "meaning and joy" people get out of publicly celebrating and legitimizing the work of a man who is currently still alive and whose numerous victims are still in a protracted legal battle to receive some semblance of justice for the hideous abuse they were subjected to is vile.
every time the general public is given the chance to stand by abuse victims they prioritize their own personal comfort and desire for entertainment, and there's nothing I can do to stop that but what I can do is tell them all they should be ashamed of themselves. because they should be and I have no qualms saying it no matter how "meaningful" gaimans work has been to them
