He/Him This is a safe space. I am here to listen. I do free tarot readings (just ask me a question, send a spread if you have a particular one in mind, and give me time- I usually do 1-5 cards based on the question, and if you have more than that in the spread you send me, it may take a few days.) and one shots (send me in a character/ship/scenario, how long you'd want it,prompts,etc. and then give me a few days or so, depending.)!

weirdos!! why are they like that

The problem with studying the deep ocean is that humans need light to look at things, the depths of the ocean are extremely dark, and what lives there is accustomed to spending most of its time in that darkness. So when we go down there with submersibles and turn on Big Lights to see, we invariably and dramatically alter what's going on, in the same way that it's generally difficult to observe the natural behaviors of terrestrial animals if you whip out a megaphone and shout HEY GUYS WHAT ARE YOU DOING at them first.

A humble snubnose eelpout on its way to the whale fall buffet when some nearby humans give it a quick, unintrusive study:

I put this in the comments but feel it needs a reblog- Check out some of Dr Edith Widder’s work on light in the deep sea! Among other things, she used the bioluminescence of stoplight fish to deduce wavelengths which most deep sea animals can’t perceive and used that to create light filters to be able to film with minimal disturbance! And that’s how we got 25 minutes of giant squid footage!!!!

Finding out Hans Zimmer is a transphobe genuinely had me falling to my knees

Thank you blastybaku for explaining this!/gen

If you've ever heard a movie score and thought "holy shit, this is incredible", there's like, a 50% chance it was Hans Zimmer who composed it.

This is a pretty major letdown, ngl.

Anyways, fuck transphobes, which includes Hans Zimmer, apparently.

Anyway shoutout to John Williams, amazing composer and probably the one who made the other 50% of "holy shit amazing" soundtracks (Jurassic Park, Star Wars, Superman, and incidentally the original Harry Potter theme and score) who famously worked closely with the first openly transgender woman to be nominated for an Academy Award, Angela Morley. He respected her, and so far as I can see, has never made transphobic remarks.

hey sewists out there. this is going to sound odd but is there like… a ravelry for sewing patterns? i.e. a pattern database for sewing patterns that you can directly download from (either free or after purchase) that doesn’t look like a scam website or also is not one small blog with ten patterns on it?

i’m having trouble finding sewing patterns, especially either men’s or unisex clothing or like. functional storage/housewares that aren’t all a specific type of aesthetic (hard to put into words, but kind of like the simply southern brand? there are SO many pattern blogs that look like that exclusively)

i know a lot of folks buy patterns from etsy but with how they handle ai i’m a bit apprehensive of it tbh

#looking for the same thing tbh #boost!

I like that Viktor is so cuddly. I also like that he sleep talks. Couldn't decide which light source I liked better so I used that as an excuse to have two translations.
