Figured I should probably do this so people don’t block me on sight.
Hi, i like books and music and that’s about it, i dabble in a few fandoms. This blog is probably just gonna be random shit because i haven’t used this app in god knows how long.
lol thanks for reading
No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
everybody go home the best tag on this post just dropped
The shape of a fish's caudal tail can tell you a lot about how fast the fish moves! A rounded tail is the slowest and a lunate tail is the fastest! The lunate tail has the most optimal ratio of high thrust and low draw, making it the fastest.
Ichthyology Notes 2/?
Hearing them get so excited over the whale fall is so fun I love hearing people who are passionate about their work
one scientist, “worms.”
every other scientist in sync, “worms!!”
I’m really chuffed at how much y’all are excited for this.
The full catalogue won’t all be online when it launches in a few days, but it contains over 10,000 photos of at least 350 species and subspecies.
Feel free to add on.
wow! as a broke college kid, i wish there was a way to access books and movies as well as scientific articles that the new administration isn't necessarily a fan of. man. If only there was a free and trusted vpn ( up to 10 gigs of downloadable data) to use in conjunction with an anonymizing router (also free up to 10 gigs) to safely, er, permanently borrow media in an untraceable way as well as share files. Man, what's that browser that keeps your online activity anonymous? I'm awfully attached to firefox, personally. If only i had a browser extension that would throw a smoke screen over my browsing data while blocking ads at the same time.
what was i talking about? hmm. weird.

there are enough tumblr users who can vote in US battleground states to literally swing the election, do you realize that?? the election is going to come down to like 80’000 votes in those states — that could be your vote! so if you live in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada, north carolina, wisconsin, michigan, etccc your vote is going to make a huge, huge difference. please for the love of god vote (and if you live in a different state, you still need to vote too)
This.
Don't let anyone tell you your vote doesn't matter. It's your voice, people fought and died to win that right, and if it didn't matter, powerful people would try so hard to take it away.
Don't let anyone tell you that not voting is a form of protest either. All it does is mean someone else chooses your next government because you silenced yourself.
Don't let anyone tell you there's no difference between Republicans and Democrats either. I remember the masses of bodies in freezer trucks during early Covid. I remember who sent a mob to try to lynch Congress when he lost an election, and which party called it "legitimate political discourse". I remember who's actively trying to take away abortion rights, and trans rights, and block any kind of gun control, and reverse even the modest gains we've made on health care and climate. It ain't Democrats.
And don't think your vote doesn't matter just because you aren't in a Presidential swing state. First, because there's a lot of conflicting information about how close some states are. And second, because even if you know how your state is going to vote for President, there are still down-ballot races. Like House and Senate seats, without a majority of which the next President will be able to do very little, to say nothing of the fact that a Republican majority might refuse to certify a Democratic election win at all.
Are you in Montana or Ohio? Harris may not win your state, but a vote to reelect Senator Tester (Montana) or Sherrod Brown (Ohio) could help Democrats hold the Senate.
Texas? You could help Colin Allred unseat Ted Cruz. Florida? Debbie Mucarsel-Powell needs your votes.
Even Nebraska has an Independent, Dan Osborn, who has a very real shot at unseating a Republican Senator.
Vote.
Vote as soon as you can.
And if you are turned away at the polls (like if they've purged your name from voter rolls), remember that you have a legal right to demand a provisional ballot with receipt.
Authoritiarins want you to feel helpless.
You aren't.
Act.
please vote my guys
I received a comment saying that the function of that strap over Bucky's chest is to drag him over for a kiss, so yes.

Supercarrier: fandom flagship. Everybody and their dog ships it. The fandom is glutted with artwork and fic. You cannot escape this ship.
Dreadnought: massively popular. Nearly everybody ships it. You can, with dedication, in theory, reach the end of the AO3 archive for the ship’s tag, but it’ll take a long time.
Cruiser: pretty popular ship. Not everyone ships it, but everyone knows about it. Has a good amount of fic/art, and probably multiple ask blogs.
Frigate: just plain popular. Feels like it could use more fanworks. New people to the fandom might not know about it, but they’ll stumble across it sooner rather than later.
Gunboat: bit of a rarepair. It might have an ask blog or two. A couple big name fans ship it. Probably only takes a few weeks to get through the entire AO3 backlog, and one new fic gets added during that time.
Tugboat: rarepair. Almost never seen except as a side pairing to a more popular ship. You can usually get through everything on AO3 in a matter of days. You’ve forgotten what it is to be picky about what you read.
Rowboat: less than a dozen people ship it. You all know each other. You exist in an endless cycle of the same five people desperately producing art and fic and one person who constantly contributes headcanons.
Canoe: you are one of maybe three people who ship it, and there’s a not-insignificant chance you’ve never encountered those other two hypothetical shippers. You spend your days paddling furiously in hopes of keeping the ship afloat, dreaming of the day you upgrade to a rowboat so you can finally rest.
Submarine: Quite a few people ship it, but nobody wants to admit to shipping it. Will randomly appear and throw the other ships into confusion.
Pontoon: that random crossover ship with that one black dress character/trope/fandom everyone will ship with everything else. Has the potential to turn into a massive party until someone gets sick and everyone goes home.
Pedalo: That iconic bizarre crackship whose proponents claim they’re only into it ironically, but secretly they’re all dead serious.
Paging @amythe3lder for the pool noodle definition.
Barge: Not quite seaworthy, but buoyant in both the literal and figurative senses. Someone is always merrily drunktweeting about it at 11pm on Saturday night and then wistfully sobertweeting about it 4 hours later from their kitchen floor. The kind of ship that generates more playlists than fic. Artfully covered in trash and dirty laundry.
Raft: There’s two-to-four people who Ship It Hard and a few others who grab onto the side for safety when there’s drama on their usual flagship.
Barrel: There’s orphaned fic of it. There’s unsigned art of it. There’s headcanon asks on anon. Someone must ship it, but no one knows why or who they are. Your friend got a glimpse once before they ducked back down.
Pool Noodle: It’s just you, kicking your feet. You named the ship and wrote it on your noodle with a big sharpie. You tell people about it and are met with confused blinking. Most of the fics in the tag were either written by you or for you. You are caught between wanting to shout about how lovely life is on this floating scrap of whimsy and fearing that your noodle can’t bear much weight. Or worse, that someone will come over and dunk you, take your noodle and fwhap you on the head with it.
This is a brilliant guide 😆
Ever Given: the fandom Supercarrier is, unfortunately, your NOTP, and it is impossible to find art/fic/meta of your preferred ship without being impeded by the Ever Given’s presence.

his expression looks like a cat that's been spritzed in the face with cold water
ok but the way he's still kind of getting outcunted by the guy on the left
Me only scrolling down enough to see the first photo: they should fuck about it
Scrolling down further: oh they are fucking about it. Excellent!
I didn’t see this in the notes yet. So. If you crash cars with someone. You stop, you pull over to the side if you can, you don’t leave. If someone is hurt or crying, call 911 or your emergency number. Never hurts to get checked out. You write down the other person’s license plate and car make and model and colour, and get their driver’s license number. You write down what happened and how it happened. If you both can drive and no one is hurt you can go after exchanging information (don’t try to agree on what happened. Don’t make deals with the person.)
When you get home, call your car insurance provider. Describe the damage to your car and any injuries and how it happened. They’ll ask for the info I told you to get above.
You’ll probably have to take your car to a registered provider who can get an insurance approved quote for repairs.
See your doctor if you are still shaky after a couple of hours. Whiplash gets worse for the first few days so you might think you’re fine but when the adrenaline wears off, you’re not. Symptoms include headache dizziness nausea as well as neck and back pain.
If you see an accident happen, don’t leave. Be the one to call the emergency number if people are injured or not getting out of their car and walking around. Give your phone number and name to both people or to the emergency providers and expect a call from the insurance company. They’ll ask you to tell them what you saw. Be honest.
Drive safe out there, and be prepared. You can call your dad later and he’ll be so proud of you for handling it.
And if you get out of your car, stay off to the side of the road! Especially if you are on a highway. It is way too easy to get hit by another car.
At the annual Houston RenFest we’d always get one or two furries that walk around and every time the general reaction from the medieval roleplayers is akin to “BEASTS? BEASTS THAT WALK LIKE MAN? FOUL!”
Last time I went a furry volunteered for an impromptu conversion/exorcism and a guy dressed as a monk gathered a bunch of people and using a Gatorade bottle performed an entire catholic christening while reading off the instructions on his Ipad. When the furry was fully “converted” he removed the head of his costume and everyone in the crowd pretended to freak out and say shit like “GlORY BE HE IS SAVED” “CHRIST HAS BROKEN HIS CURSE”
That’s the best crap i’ve heard in months
have I mentioned that i’m fucking in love with humankind
Back in 2015 or so, I went to a faire that was taking place near one of those “frozen in time” Victorian-era reenactment villages - the ones with bakeries, a blacksmith, farm animals and the like.
The actors from the village took great delight in showing up at the joust, dressed in 1890s clothing and declaring themselves to be time travellers “from the future, the far-off year of 1892!”
