quotes from a 2022 article on the submarine that disappeared today
the rich people on the oceangate sub when they hear banging outside
a reference picture showing the size of the submersible 5 people are trapped in at the bottom of the ocean. What's it like on the vessel?
there are 4 ultra-wealthy passengers and the CEO of the company they paid $250k to give them a tour of the Titanic grave site on an experimental sub literally controlled by a knock-off PlayStation controller.
there is an indie psychological horror movie playing out on the ocean floor.
oh, and elon musk's starlink provides their internet connection.
For whatever reason this story has absolutely grabbed my attention, and so I will be compiling the information that I can confirm in a decent timeline of events, feel free to message me if y'all feel like something needs to be changed/revised
I will update this as more info becomes available, feel free to message me with sources if you know anything.
Sink the rich I guess. There’s a rescue mission underway, the sub has 96 hrs of oxygen and went missing Sunday 2 hrs into the expedition with its crew and passengers (1 pilot + 4 paying passengers)
Guys the underlined paragraph above is a link to an article about the story for more context. 😊
if you don't do anything else today,
Please have a moment of silence for the people who were killed instead of freed when news of emancipation finally reached the furthest corners of the american south.
have another moment for the ledgers, catalogs, and records that were burned and the homes that were destroyed to hide the presence of very much alive and still enslaved people on dozens of plantations and homesteads across the south for decades after emancipation.
and have a third moment for those who were hunted and killed while fleeing the south to find safety across the border, overseas, in the north and to the west.
black people. light a candle, write a note to those who have passed telling them what you have achieved in spite of the racist and intolerant conditions of this world, feel the warmth of the flame under your hand, say a prayer of rememberance if you are religious, place the note under the candle, and then blow it out.
if you have children, sit them down and tell them anything you know about the life of oldest black person you've ever met. it doesn't have to be your own family. tell them what you know about what life was like for us in the days, years, decades after emancipation. if you don't know much, look it up and learn about it together.
white people CAN interact with this post. share it, spread it.
tumblr mobile has seadily become near unusable these past few updates. not just from a user experience perspective (which is important enough in itself) but also from an accessibility perspective.
examples include the new way the image viewer works (if you can call it "working"), the tumblr live button replacing the profile button, and that newly created blogs will be forced to have their main dashboard tab be the 'for you' page.
to protest against these usability issues, and inspired by the recent reddit blackout, i propose a 48 hour blackout (where you don't use tumblr at all). preferably of both mobile and web (since web has problems too) but mobile is the focus here.
this marks the end of pride month (for the "queerest place on the internet") and the start of disability month (since accessibility is a massive issue here).
tumblr office is in San Francisco, USA, so the times and dates will be calculated using their time zone (PDT).
i can't afford to blaze this post so please spread it around as much as possible! protests only work if significant numbers show up!
(so the blackout would be from June 30th onwards)
couples themed photoshoots and old romance films have such a Grip on me they're all so destian and it makes me unwell LIKE

"Today, we received a message from Reddit that our mod team will be replaced if we do not open up the subreddit immediately"
I mean- holy shit? Strikebreaker activity.
This is most certainly not the only subreddit that has gotten this message.
You don't get to choose if your post is about Supernatural or not
a fun reminder that The Girl Who Saw The God In The Machine and Lovely Yellow Va-Va-Vrooms are both the names of Kirby songs
the second one plays in the rbb level where you get hit by waddle dees driving little taxis
Kirby games have songs called "The Universe Will End, But You Will Prosper" and it is the most GUT WRENCHING song you will ever hear and also have a song called "Floinkle Doinkle Dinkie Doo" and it be the most silly ass song ever
watching reddit go into a full death spiral is like watching the specifically trans equivalent of the library of alexandria go up in flames
like yes reddit is also the only place on the internet you can get an actual answer to any question in general. but it’s also a huge centralized community database about which surgeons will fuck you over, who takes what insurance, which doctors you can trust, how to write a template therapist’s letter, insurance appeals, peer support, questions that feel too stupid to ask anywhere else, diy guidelines, “hey this is embarrassing but,” finding trans people in your area, explaining why you need PTO without getting way too personal about it, safety tips, et cetera you get the picture
