having literally my second original tumblr post hit 3500+ notes is so fucking funny to me. feels like waking up from a coma in the middle of a packed football stadium. where am i. who are you people. why are you clapping for me.
I think reddit accidentally trained you to be the perfect tumblr funnyman. Welcome to tumblr, rock lee, let us just take off those ankle weights for you.
out of curiosity do you know what the URL of the person your reblogging from refers to/means?
One criticism of comics I hate is when people who don't read comics (different if they do actually know what they're talking about and are analyzing an individual writer's work like Frank Miller's Batman run or w/e) think they have some like enlightened take that the concept of being a superhero is fascist or superhero teams are basically cops etc etc because I Promise you are not a genius for thinking this I Promise you are not some smart enlightened genius who's too intelligent for stupid comics I PROMISE YOU that this has been ADDRESSED ON PAGE I promise you that this is a moral conflict that comes up in comics REGULARLY I promise you that almost comic team has like an explicit leftist like canonically far left and extremely politically outspoken character on it who starts drama about the team's ethics every few years and all the members are just like sigh here fucking Green Arrow/almost any of the X-Men depending on the day/Northstar (throwing my Alpha Flight agenda in here sorry)/etc again. Like most teams have at least one EXPLICITLY left-wing character on it who is highly political and WILL CONSTANTLY POINT THIS SHIT OUT. "Batman is just a fascist!!! He should help people instead of throwing them in jail!!!!!" WOW IT'S ALMOST LIKE GREEN ARROW HAS ARGUED THIS EXACT THING WITH HIM AND GREEN LANTERN AND FLASH AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE JUSTICE LEAGUE FOR 3X AS LONG AS YOU'VE BEEN ALIVE. The ethics of being a superhero is like... a common theme in a large amount of comics I've read. And "token team leftist" aside if you really think that comics portray every superhero as best friends with cops/the government and they don't ever oppose each other then you've missed... A LOT. Talking about copaganda and stuff in comics is a good discussion but when people who DON'T EVEN READ THEM try to it's soooooo fucking apparent that it's genuinely comical.
*Again. This is not about criticizing specific runs/authors' politics in their comics (again. Frank Miller for example.) this is about people who's entire expose to comics being literal US Military-funded movies and thinking that that's all the depth and that they have all these revolutionary never heard before takes that are just... plot points that pop up every few years in almost every comic.
i have found that some ppl come on here like YES WE LOVE PERVERTS WE LOVE NASTY GAY SEX WE LOVE KINK!!! SLAY! and then still are going to find petplay too freaky, ur gonna say piss is too far, u think sounding is insane and evil to do. ur upset by actually hard kinks bc u think kink is someone in a little leather outfit spanking someone and calling them daddy, u think it stops at that! it’s not just lingerie and petnames. and u dont have to be into any extreme shit but i keep seeing ppl talk about kink in the vaguest of ways and reveal that they don’t really know jackshit, or that they’re genuinely unsettled by a lot of kink in aesthetic and dynamic. and not that u have to be into these things to defend them, but it’s so painfully obvious when someone has almost no idea what they’re defending and are actually deeply uncomfortable with it. and it’s different than a “i wouldnt personally do that” and a “that’s too much for anyone to do” thing. i think if ur gonna talk abt kink it’s good to become more familiar w it. know ur own limits but also know the limits of ur knowledge i guess.
chart with all my favorite fictional guys on it and it looks like this
GODDDDDD THIS IS GOING TO LITERALLY BE THE BEST BOOK OF ALL FUCKING TIME. A TRUE NORTHSTAR VS MAC SHOWDOWN HAS BEEN IN THE MAKING FOR SO FUCKING LONG.
Alpha Flight (1983) ISSUE FUCKING 1
Alpha Flight (2011)
AND THE FACT THAT NORTHSTAR LITERALLY ORIGINALLY ONLY A SUPERHERO BECAUSE MAC THREATENED TO OUT HIM AS A MUTANT (RUINING HIS CAREER) MAKES THIS EVEN BETTER.
GOD THIS IS GONNA BE FUCKING INSANE. THIS IS ALL I'VE EVER WANTED. THIS IS THE FUCKING MOMENT.
Okay, I know people as a general rule tend to not care about invertebrates as much as cute, fuzzy mammals, but this is a must-read if you care about animal welfare. The short version is that horseshoe crab blood has been used for decades in medicine as a way to test whether something is truly sterile; the blood clots in the presence of bacteria. Since then millions of horseshoe crabs have been captured and drained of blood, even though a synthetic alternative was developed a few years ago.
They go through a pretty brutal experience in the process. They're caught by fishermen who often throw them by their tails into a pile in the open air, and they're then trucked to a bleeding facility where they're strapped down and their blood is removed with needles jabbed directly into their hearts. Over half their blood may be taken, after which they're supposed to be returned to the ocean. However, it's likely many of them never make it back, instead turned into fish bait and sold by the same fishermen who caught them in the first place.
Apart from the fact that this is a horrific thing to put any animal through, the attrition due to fatalities has put a serious dent in horseshoe crab numbers. This is compounded by massive habitat loss, pollution, and the capture of horseshoe crabs as food, particularly as the females of one species are considered a delicacy. And other animals that rely on horseshoe crabs are suffering, too. The American rufa subspecies of the red knot, a medium-sized shorebird, is critically endangered as the horseshoe crab eggs it must have in order to successfully complete migration have become increasingly scarce, and it is likely the bird will become extinct if trends continue.
While there are guidelines for medical horseshoe crab harvest, they're considered optional. The few laws that exist are poorly enforced. Short of a complete ban on horseshoe crab blood in favor of the synthetic alternative, these animals are in very real danger of going extinct after a history spanning over 400 million years on this planet.
Thankfully, this article is not the first to bring forth the issues surrounding horseshoe crab harvest. Here are a few resources for further information and action (US based, though horseshoe crabs are threatened throughout their entire range):

One thing I love about Tumblr that wasn't a thing on Reddit is that I can just write whatever the fuck text post I want. No titles. No putting text on images. No algorithms or karma. Just fuckin splatter your mind onto the screen and people will see it. Like god intended.
It’s one of the best things.
My Post: haha in a fleeeeb beepo bingus kinda mood rn

It has unironically been great for my mental health. It’s like the opposite of doomscrolling. Coomscrolling? Idk
Mood I've felt marginally better past 2 days than I have in how long???
Speaking as a longtime Tumblr user
It’s doing me good to see you all here. Like we’ve had some pretty sus UX changes lately (although nowhere near on the level of what Reddit’s doing—mostly it’s been months since they introduced Tumblr Live and we’re all still mad about it), and seeing y’all come stumbling in like “oh this is COOL” is letting me take a fresh look at the site and really appreciate why I love it here.
It's great for the ecosystem too ever since the porn ban we've had like the same 200 dudes here and for the longest time the only fresh blood was teenagers. I can't wait to see what they do with all the open space.
Oh, fuck this. If you're a new user, don't forget to set your dashboard to Following and turn "Based on your likes" and "Best stuff first" off
this shouldnt be the funniest thing in the world to me but here we are
