would you rather your daily commute (2x a day) was a 15 minute drive or a 30 minute walk
uk, drive
uk, walk
usa, drive
usa, walk
anywhere else, drive
anywhere else, walk
bald
follow up poll (not location-based)
your destination is a 30 minute walk away. you can take a bus, but due to the distance to the bus stop and the unreliable schedule and traffic, it will probably still take about 30 minutes. what do you do.
walk
bus
still bald
another underappreciated tumblr feature that you dont get on other sites is the queue. i love it when something i thought was funny six months ago and then forgot about a week later crawlts its way out of the processing vortex and i get to see it all over again.
you should queue this post it would be funny and grant me immortality
you motherfuckers put me in the processing vortex
He sure does love his fruits
We just not going to talk about how he can also do pottery? With chocolate?
And stickers!
he HAS A not chocolate version of that god damned bowl right there! TAUNTING US, and holding the not pastries kiwis!
Show some respect, people.
THANK YOU
The story of Balto is interesting. He led a team of sled dogs across the Alaskan wilderness in the dead of winter with diphtheria antitoxins to stop an outbreak in Nenana Alaska. Diphtheria is a deadly infectious disease that could wipe out a third of a town’s population. It is mostly unknown to the public today because of vaccines. Balto’s body is preserved in the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
He’s a big hero of mine!
Let’s not forget Togo! Who, at 12 years old during the serum run, lead his team 200 miles through much more dangerous conditions during the first leg of the journey before Balto ran the last 55-mile stretch.
Togo and Balto didn’t bust their asses for dying children for you to turn around and not vaccinate your damn kids
Errors Accessing AO3
We are investigating reports of errors when trying to load AO3, including errors saying that AO3 is down, which seem to be related to the previous incident. We will update when we have more information!
Posted: 22:36 UTC 02 March, 2026
AO3 is now fully down. After performing a software upgrade a few days ago, we've been unable to keep our server cluster healthy due to what we believe is a bug or issue with the new release of our database server software.
We're working with our vendor's support team to understand the cause and whether reverting or upgrading further will best resolve the issue without continuing the cycle of up and downtimes.
We do not currently have an estimated time for when we will be back up, but we expect it to be multiple hours at minimum. We apologize for the inconvenience and will update you when we know more.
For updates refer to our status page.
Posted: 03:16 UTC 03 March, 2026
Following guidance from our vendor, we've brought AO3 back online to help troubleshoot. We expect the site will go back down, although we don't know when that will happen.
If you choose to post or update your works while AO3 is up, we strongly recommend making sure you have a backup of any text you are attempting to post.

风起青萍末 (34542 words) by sarahyyy Chapters: 17/17 Fandom: Original Work Rating: General Audiences Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply Additional Tags: Arranged Marriage, Getting Together Summary:
定远侯萧策觉得这桩婚事亏了。
娶了个母族无权无势又不受宠的公主,还得供在府里当菩萨。好在公主识趣,主动提出约法三章:各过各的,互不干涉,将来有了心上人彼此成全。
萧策大喜:还有这等好事?
后来他发现,这菩萨有点费侯爷。
她病了,他巴巴送蜜饯。她说冷,他偷偷买炭。她随口提一句江南,他记了三个月。
再后来,他喝醉酒拽着人家手不放,嘀嘀咕咕说“想给她一个家”。
公主笑眯眯问:侯爷,约法三章还记得吗?
萧策:什么章?撕了。
又名,《风起于青萍之末,止于真香》。
又又名,《关于我那约法三章的夫人最后成了心尖宠这件事》。
Modern research shows the public work together selflessly in an emergency, motivated by a strong impulse to help
“The notion that people panic and run screaming for the exits is a Hollywood fiction,” said Prof Stephen Reicher, an expert in group behaviour at the University of St Andrews.
“Characteristically, people stay and help each other,” he said. “We found this during the 7/7 attacks on the underground and the 1999 attack on the Admiral Duncan pub in London, where people looked after each other even though they feared other bombs.
“In our own research on the Leytonstone tube attack in 2015, there was an amazing level of spontaneous coordination by bystanders: some directed others away from danger. Some distracted the attacker. Some confronted the attacker. Each was able to act because of the others. Heroism was a feature of the group, not just the individual,” he added.
Prof Clifford Stott, a specialist in the psychology of crowds and group identity at Keele University, agreed. Modern research, he said, showed “bystander apathy” was a myth. Instead, strangers often work together in emergency situations with highly sophisticated unity.”
Bystander apathy is a myth invented by the New York Times to cover up that the police were called by several residents of the building, but the cops refused to act. The cops then told the Times that 38 people just watched her die (a seemingly arbitrary number and a physical impossibility based on where the attacks occurred), and the Times ran with it. In fact, Kitty was alive when the cops got there, and was being held and comforted by one of her friends who lived in the building because one of the people who saw her get attacked from across the street called her friend to go get her. Because people care.
You have just been attacked. How likely is it that someone will come to your help? If you remember the infamous case of Kitty Genovese in 19
I will always re-blog this. The story of Kitty Genovese’s murder has gone down in history as a story about everyone watching it happen and doing nothing and none of the story is true.
Watching the process of this absolutely stunning painting makes it even more beautiful.
The artist is Sydney Swisher
This will be worded so messily and unorganized but asexuality is so weird like, you often end up questioning yourself because you don’t even know what sexual attraction is supposed to be like.
So many people don’t realize their asexuality cause they assume whatever attraction they do have must be the oh so fabled sexual attraction they hear so often about, see the common ace experience of confusing aesthetic or romantic attraction for sexual attraction.
Just the uncertainty of having thoughts like “I found this person pretty, is that sexual attraction? I kinda get nervous when I talk with this one classmate, is that getting ‘butterflies in my stomach’?”
Or there’s the alternative experience of assuming sex and sexual attraction is actually this one huge inside joke everyone’s into but of course nobody actually feels these things, right?
And the proceeding realization of “wait, you’re not joking? None of you are?”
I myself know so little about sexual attraction, it feels so foreign to me, and I’m just left with so many questions, Recently I just learned myself that apparently finding someone attractive and being attracted to them are two different things? What?? How do allo people keep up with all this stuff???
Being ace is weird
Also sorry if I caused confusion with the butterflies thing I forgot I’m also aromantic
This is so true, I craved all my life for the commonly talked sexual and romantic experience, I wanted to understand it so bad I tended to force it where it didn’t belong. Soon enough I realized that I never really cared for the romance nor the sex, I just loved the drama.
someone almost stabbed me with a butchers knife and my response at the time was to turn and ask them "are you kidding me?"
its so fucking funny that nuclear waste is such a contentious topic. like yeah those damn nuclear advocates need to figure out somewhere reasonable to put that nuclear waste. for now we will be sticking with coal power because it puts its waste products safe and sound In Our Lungs, where they cannot hurt anybody,
coal byproducts also give people cancer en masse is the thing though. coal smoke is a carcinogen that contributes to lung cancer, and ash and other waste products can also contain significant amounts of uranium and thorium, so coal as a power source can totally expose people to ionizing radiation as well.
The thing is that for every hazard of nuclear waste, pretty much the worst case scenario is that it might do something that coal power is already doing. You could aerosolize nuclear waste and just spray it out of a chimney and it would have less environmental and health impacts than coal because you’d only be spraying like a gram of it for every billion tons of coal smoke for the same amount of power.
Im already pretty vocal about my advocation and belief in nuclear power and I have been for years, but I saw something a few weeks ago that just
It so perfectly sums up everything that’s wrong, but also it’s incredibly horrifying
So, basically, someone not very involved in nuclear science but still discussing it posed the question “could we retrofit coal power plants to be nuclear power plants?”. And on the face, this is a fairly good idea actually. Coal and nuclear power both generate electricity the same way (heated water turns to steam which turns a turbine) so you would only need to do some modifications, making new nuclear reactors much cheaper, and killing coal plants.
Well, someone actually involved in the nuclear industry (I think they were a researcher but I might be misremmebering) responded to the question with (paraphrased from memory)
“that’s something many of us have proposed in the past, and unfortunately we can’t do that, because coal plants currently have much higher radiation levels than the EPA allowed a nuclear plant to be operated at. And cleaning up the site would cost more than just building a new plant in an uncontaminated site.”
It’s fucking wild
Not only is coal so much more dangerous in so many other ways, but the very thing people worry about with nuclear power is higher because coal isn’t regulated at all.
