US climate with equivalent cities from around the world.
Keep reading
This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.
so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call
OK, this is super neat and also a great tool for writers’
I lost a needle I liked in my pincushion so I decided to get a strong magnet and see if I could pull it back out.
I pulled out 68.
I very rarely sew.
This was my grandmother's pincushion. How many were hers?
Finding a 68 needles in a haystack pincushion
Where you would expect to find needles!
AND YET.
(I jibbled out some more so we are at 71 and I can feel at least two more in there by sweeping the magnet across. Now hunting for my strongest one.)
tomato is perfec t size for put needle inside very soft and comfort needle
A friend suggested 'a mimic that eats needles' and I got the most vivid mental picture.

these relationships are always increasing numbers as well. so obviously we need six eleven to mean somethimg
imagine if that's the date it finally happens
allow me to be a little pretentious for a moment, but if youre gonna be an anime youtuber can you at least try and learn how to pronounce japanese names. like im not even asking for perfection, i dont expect everyone to learn a perfect accent, but at the very least put the emphasis on the right vowel or im clicking off.
also if you pronounce words wrong on purpose to get people to comment you're an absolute scumsucker.
(guy whose job pertains to adding to the endless torrential downpour of useless noise on the internet when tasked with utilizing the literal bottomless encyclopedia of all encompassing human knowledge in order to do any level of research): "im not even gonna TRY to take two seconds to copy paste this into google translate and click the "dictate this text for me phonetically" button!!"
go watch (and read) project hail mary right now. this instant. go go go . go. go.
hey guys i'm going to the store can u make sure nothing happens to my chocolate milk
thought of this immediately and was delighted to discover it’s the same op
The rare excellent piece of writing on AI
"But how can you justify a player character with a (non-disinherited) noble background in a dungeon-crawling fantasy game" well, the most obvious approach is a fantasy setting whose nobility practices cognatic primogeniture where, instead of "first son inherits, second son goes into the military, third son becomes a priest", it's "first son inherits, second son goes into the military, third son becomes an adventurer". From the player's perspective, it handily explains why the title comes with little material support from the family; from the family's perspective, there's an unspoken understanding that most of the spare heirs will be eaten by a dragon (or whatever), thereby simplifying the inheritance situation, and the few survivors will become great assets.
(There is, of course, the possibility that a surviving third son, having grown powerful and understandably harbouring some slight resentment, may return, kill his elder brothers with dark magic, and take over the dynasty, but in practice this almost never happens.)
As an added bonus, if you, the first born son, ever run into -true- trouble, you probably have a few aunts/uncles/second-cousins hanging around who can bring utterly insane amounts of force (political, physical, magical, whichever) down upon it for you.
Very few adventuring-third-children nobles have any desire to take on all the hassle and responsibility of running a noble estate when they finally return home after years of seducing dragons and fighting gods. They just want a nice comfy chair, lots of respect, and all the wine they can drink. And in exchange, they occasionally pull a few fistfuls of gems out of the ol Bag of Infinite Holding, tell stories about that time they cut the head off that giant dragon whole's bones are a mountain range now, and head on down to the Senate Chambers to incinerate whoever's making their sweet nephew so upset these days.
like i know there are a lot of fics out there where other vulcans are all “oh man, jim kirk’s so freakin HOT how’d spock get in his pants” but IF ANYTHING it’s actually the reverse. spock shows up on vulcan one day with Jim on his arm and all the other vulcans are OUTRAGED. They’ve spent years mooning (logically) over spock’s flaxen bowl cut. his dark eyes. his slightly lax emotional control that gives him just a hint of the “bad boy” vibe that we all know vulcans secretly go wild for. Sarek receives like a thousand bonding proposals a year from VSA graduates who all have google alerts set to notify them when spock gets a new xeniobiology article published. and then they find out. that the object of their (totally logical) affections. had the equivalent of a las vegas wedding with the human captain of his starfleet ship while in the middle of a five year mission. vulcans may be too logical to riot but on that day, a good many vulcans had to meditate for an extra hour or two just to contain their rage
This is the sci fi equivalent to that post about Gimli son of Gloin, the Stud of Erebor

Recovering from autistic burnout as a high-masking adult:
To recover, you literally need to manually learn skills that most people learn as a toddler
You need to learn what makes your body uncomfortable, and what to do to fix it
If you are high-masking, that usually means that you have learned to ignore every distress signal your body sends unless it is a distress signal that a neurotypical person would recognize. People have likely been unintentionally gaslighting you about your lived experience your entire life
If you feel bad or panicked for no reason, stop and try to pay attention to your body. Are you tense? You are likely feeling physical pain somewhere. If you've been gaslit about your pain your entire life, you might not be able to identify it.
Go through a sensory checklist.
SIGHT: Try closing and covering your eyes. If this gives you relief, the lights are probably too bright. You may also need differently-colored lights
SOUND: Cover your ears. Does this give you relief? If so, you may need earplugs or noise canceling headphones. You may also benefit from a neutral or pleasant background noise, like soft music or brown noise.
TOUCH: Are your clothes uncomfortable? Your chair? Your body? Do you feel greasy, like you need a shower? Do you need softer, sensory-friendly clothing?
TASTE: Do you need to brush your teeth or tongue? Would chewing on something help?
SMELL: Is there a strong or unpleasant smell in the room? Do you need to clean or empty a trash can? Would an air purifier help? Would a pleasant smell like a candle help?
INTEROCEPTION: Are you hungry? Thirsty? Tired? How is your posture? Are any of your muscles tight or sore? Scan your body slowly from head to feet, tensing and loosening each group of muscles. Going for a walk or doing a series of quick stretches may help a lot.
Learning how to do this stuff is not intuitive, if you've had an entire lifetime of gaslighting telling you that everything hurting you isn't a big deal and you're being dramatic over nothing.
This takes time, it takes work, it's not intuitive, and it's hard. Most people forget how hard it is, because they learned this as toddlers.
If you want to recover, you need to relearn your whole body. And get over your idea of "normal" and just wear the damn sunglasses and put on the headphones. If people stare, fuck em. You're disabled and they can deal with that.
PMT - psycho-motoric therapy - helped me a LOT. I still have trouble recognising my bodies' signals: not just stress but hunger, thirst, exhaustion, pain. I have tried exercising without help so many times, and I would just get injured every. Damn. Time. Pull my muscles, overwork my tendons: and then I'd have to sit down again until I'd healed and all of my progress was for naught.
Relearning how to recognize when my body was telling me stuff made my life so much better. I genuinely would not have dared to become a parent before starting this form of therapy. It's been almost a decade and I don't feel like I'm a brain with a stupid, useless set of appendages anymore: I finally understand my body and take joy in it.
If you have autism, I truly recommend you check out PMT. It made a ton of difference for me.
always think of this meme when this scene comes up
That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science
Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?
this sounds like a party to me
Absolutely wild to find out another indie author has been referring to you as "the competition" this entire time. Like there can only be one disabled werewolf Romance novel.
I'd like there to be more, actually. I'd like them to hold hands. I would have liked us to hold hands, but alas.
We could have gone on mailing lists together. We could have shared readers. We could have had a beautiful Fall wedding under the eldritch glow of a blood moon. Why, why must we be forsaken?!
Wait, could this be our enemies to associates arc? Hot.
Absolutely insane to consider any other indie author "the competition" unless they're directly attacking you. Readers are (usually) not going out there like "hmm, which is the one single disabled werewolf romance book I will read?" More often, they will read one and if they like it, go ahead and get the other one. It's such a rising tide lifts all boats type of profession. Other books in your genre (assuming they're not reputation-ruiningly terrible) bring more readers to your genre! Ten amazing disabled werewolf romances is so much better than standing alone! It increases audience size for everyone!
"The competition" do they even understand their job?
No. Which is why I suspect they're not getting very far.
And blaming other people because they don't want a community. They just want their flowers without planting any seeds.
Who would ever read one disabled werewolf romance and go: I loved that! Now I have no further interest in disabled werewolf romance
