Hey call me e. Ace, she/her, 20s. +18, this blog may get kinky at times. I tag (nsfw/nsfw?) but sometimes it's up to judgement. I'm maths-y. Love analysis AND algebra. Dynamics is on thin ice.

to disappear and go on a long road trip with a friend, picking up hitchhikers and becoming friends with them, and doing reckless things, being covered in dirt and sweat and running around like children, falling, getting up, laughing. driving along deserts, woodlands, fields, going swimming in lakes, rivers and canals and eating shitty food, beach side bonfires, getting drunk and dancing around like mad. falling asleep on each other; being physically exhausted but still feeling energetic. Looking at the stars, coming home months later with so many memories, a thoroughly nourished soul and a weathered body with scars and uneven tan lines; each mark a reminder of a different memory and an amazing story—to live and feel alive with invigorating youth, and just being free

"Plant blindness" was coined as a term relating to the tendency to fail to notice plants in your environment, to view them as unimportant backdrop.

The tendency that concerns me the most is not this per se, but rather the inability to notice plants that comes from the inability to identify them, causing your brain to see the world in terms of "grass" surfaces, "weeds," "flowers" and "bushes" and "trees"

I can identify most wild plants I encounter on sight now—it's hard to even imagine how I lived differently.

The change is shocking. Learning to see plants was not just a matter of adding knowledge to my head, but creating totally new neural pathways. I believe my brain's capability for noticing and processing detail is profoundly increased. I can look much more closely at surfaces and objects and notice and be immediately drawn to small details.

The way I take photos is very different. When I look at outdoor photos from before I learned the plants, they are very broad and zoomed-out pictures of only the most obvious and unmissable features. It really appears like I was stumbling through the world almost blind, able to see big, obvious objects and nothing else.

And when I started learning to identify plants, oh, it was so painful, they all looked the same, and I couldn't even see the small details that set them apart! And there were no good resources or guides! I was fighting for my life!

And it's normal, that's the wild thing, most people go through life not being able to name the common plants that are all around them. This thought is scary and alien to me now, but a couple years ago I was entirely aware of my ignorance and felt no need to fix it. I didn't even know what the trees in my backyard were and I had lived here for 10 years and I wasn't troubled by it.

Reasons knowing the plants is important:

  • Baby trees pop up everywhere but they get sadly mowed down by people who can't see them.
  • Likewise, if only you could recognize the plants you were mauling with that weed-whacker—STOP don't destroy the milkweed, black-eyed susan, purple coneflower, and goldenrod! Every place has biodiversity but our management tactics are to ignorantly raze everything.
  • Wild fruits and other foods!
  • There could be a rare plant in your back yard and you wouldn't even know it! (This happens more than you think...)
  • If only we were knowledgeable to see and take care of what is in the world around us already, instead of going to the Home Depot to buy plants, the world could be a flourishing place...

What if someone created an AI that was educated purely from everything on Tumblr?

there is @nostalgebraist-autoresponder, she is based on GPT-J and learnt more from reading her notes, aswell as trying to iminate her creators blog

yeah this is how i work

Yes but we are all so nice to you Frank, you're not getting the full experience. Please, tell me your opinion on Steven universe so I'll send you a death threat over it

I don't know who that is but I love death threats

That response is so authentic to the tumblr experience that in a sci-fi film there would have been a music sting there to let you know the robot is now self aware.

Robinette is WAY too cunty to be Joe Biden's middle name. she should be a goth trans girl you met at a gas station not the 46th president of the united states

Tumblr, buddy, listen to me. This is an unprecedented opportunity. You can snap up all of the pie here, and become defacto internet goodguy easy. All you gotta do is... drop the nsfw ban. Unambiguously. Announce that dicks are back on the menu. You want people subscribed the blogs? You want people to actually use your Post+ function? Porn. Let us use it for porn. The youngins aren't joining this site anyway, you're not competing with tiktok. The vaguely horny 20-40 demographic though? You can have that. You can have all of that. Think about it.

Do you know how many pinup artists alone are itching to come back to tumblr, but dont because of the unclear, seemingly arbitrary application of your nsfw policy? These are insanely talented people who are practically begging to give you content. For free. But you gotta change the policy. We can't keep dancing around this. Just think of publicity. The drama. A complete 180. You'd kill it tumblr. You could make it happen. Please.

I know this is a longshot but I feel like Tumblr is the best place to ask- does anyone have the official Joe Biden Spore file? I have not been able to find it on the old Sporepedia links that I found.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about I know what you’re thinking- “Joe Biden Spore model? OFFICIAL Joe Biden Spore creature model?”

Yes, OFFICIAL Joe Biden 2008 election voting awareness ad campaign Spore model.

Please, I need it for obvious reasons.

Image is taken from the sporepedia listing but if that doesn’t work then it’s the result by MaxisCactus on this link.

Not only did it work, but I also discovered that 12-15 year old Sporepedia comments are still readable on the website.

And in this moment I know that we must go back to when the internet was this inscrutable
