Context for the above: The chiru/赤鱬 ("red ru fish") is a creature from Chinese folklore/mythology described in the Nan Shan Jing ("Classic of the Southern Mountains") as a human-headed fish. It is described as basically fish-form but having a human face, and issuing sounds like the mandarin duck. Eating it purportedly prevented scabies or itchy skin.

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of really severe tragedies in the world right now and I in no way desire to push those aside, nor do I really want to load another thing onto people's plates, but anyone here in the US needs to be aware that on March 11, 2024, an agricultural company known as NEW Cooperative spilled 265,000 gallons (1500 tons) of liquid nitrogen into the East Nishnabotna River. This is the ecological equivalent of dropping a nuclear weapon into the river. Over a 60 mile stretch downstream of the spill its been a near total ecological wipeout for the river. So far, an estimate of 850,000 fish have been killed from this spill, and that's to say nothing for the insects, amphibians, reptiles and birds that relied on or lived in this river. It is literally filled with animal corpses. This river flows into the Missouri River and the impacts will likely continue to spread far past this 60 mile stretch. And this disaster has barely made local tv in Iowa, let alone national tv, despite the fact that 60 miles of river ecosystem were just wiped out in a way that may be impossible to recover from. And what's the punishment for this heinous act of destruction through negligence, you might ask? As it stands, its looking like a 6k fine from the DNR to the company. Not 600k. Not 60k. 6000 dollars. The maximum fine that the DNR can charge in Iowa is 10k unless they decide to take it further in court. That's why these spills are so frequent in Iowa: it's literally cheaper to eat the fines than it is to bother properly storing fertilizer. I don't know exactly what the proper course of action is here, or who needs to be contacted to enact change--I'm hoping someone more knowledgeable than me will chime in with that information--but at the very least, every one of us should know. Every one of us should make sure we don't forget this. And every one of us should blacklist NEW Cooperative fertilizer unilaterally.

So I've decided to rewatch "The Untamed" and also thought I'd like to read the books for the first time. Anyway, I'm completely obsessed and this series has turned into my personality for the time being. I forgot how much I love these characters and this world and everything about it (and omg the books are so much gayer, I'm in love)

Had to do a quick sketch Lan Zahn's back and chest scars. Can't hand me a scarred up traumatized character and expect me not to draw him.

The second sketch was done in like 5 minutes so its not the best, and the Wen Clan insignia is not 100% accurate, but sshhhh its fine

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says ā€œYeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?ā€

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, ā€œYou what now?ā€

ā€œYeah, killed it. Had to save Frodoā€

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

That's not important. What is important is that it was a danger to Mister Frodo.

my toxic trait is that when someone walks into a room and Pangur (who is usually on my lap) starts growling at them out of the baseless hatred she has for most life on earth, I join in and say ā€œyou’re upsetting her. you’re hurting her. she’s dying.ā€

people will really come into kink spaces and say you can't forcefem women like there wasn't a feature length movie about an elderly gay man forcefemming a woman as part of scheme to thwart an elaborate assassination attempt before the killer even determined their target

Every summer I forget how much I fucking love spiders I’ve drunk one every day this week

Drinking spiders??!

You put ice cream in a glass and pour soft drink over it. It creates a thick layer of delicious foam on top of a sweet, creamy drink with ice cream in it.

And yes I did attempt to get a picture by googling ā€œAustralia spiderā€ like a fucking moron.

I think that’s called a float in the states. Although we usually plop the icecream into the glass after the soda. Similar effect though.

We wouldn’t be able to call it that because the word is way too easy to confuse with a floater, which is a meat pie floating in a bowl of pea soup. It is every bit as delicious as a spider though. I should get some pies and pea soup.

I would like to announce that this is not a standard Australian food, it’s exclusively a South Australian one and the rest of Australia is just as appalled as the rest of the world.

It’s not our fault that the rest of Australia is incorrect about food.

ā€œaverage person eats 3 spiders a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in South Australia and BADLY misinterpreted our survey question,,

... "floater" has a much less appetizing meaning in the US.

We've all been down here too long. I truly think there's a chunk of tumblr's population that can no longer survive sunlight.

women will say ā€œhear me outā€ and show u a photo of pyramid head and then tumblr users will go ā€œthis is a perfectly normal man and an ice cold takeā€
