If you're feeling anxious or depressed about the climate and want to do something to help right now, from your bed, for free...

Start helping with citizen science projects

What's a citizen science project? Basically, it's crowdsourced science. In this case, crowdsourced climate science, that you can help with!

You don't need qualifications or any training besides the slideshow at the start of a project. There are a lot of things that humans can do way better than machines can, even with only minimal training, that are vital to science - especially digitizing records and building searchable databases

Like labeling trees in aerial photos so that scientists have better datasets to use for restoration.

Or counting cells in fossilized plants to track the impacts of climate change.

Or digitizing old atmospheric data to help scientists track the warming effects of El Niño.

Or counting penguins to help scientists better protect them.

Those are all on one of the most prominent citizen science platforms, called Zooniverse, but there are a ton of others, too.

Oh, and btw, you don't have to worry about messing up, because several people see each image. Studies show that if you pool the opinions of however many regular people (different by field), it matches the accuracy rate of a trained scientist in the field.

--

I spent a lot of time doing this when I was really badly injured and housebound, and it was so good for me to be able to HELP and DO SOMETHING, even when I was in too much pain to leave my bed. So if you are chronically ill/disabled/for whatever reason can't participate or volunteer for things in person, I highly highly recommend.

Next time you wish you could do something - anything - to help

Remember that actually, you can. And help with some science.

This is a reminder to:

Never mention a possible pregnancy/abortion to anyone, especially not through a social media app messaging service such as messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram DMs, Snapchat, etc.

Delete all period tracking apps and to start tracking using a planner or physical calendar

Book appointments for a form of birth control if possible, or to always carry condoms for yourself and other

Look into sterilization options if that is the route you want to go down (here is a list of 1000 doctors willing to sterilize you without a fight)

Protect your fellow person, protect the women in your life, the queer people, the disabled people, everyone will be affected by this

Form communities. Tell your people that you love them. Protect one another. Check in on one another. None of us are alone.

You're both so right. They are cringe but they are Free

"dream aloud about being child soldiers, spirits or kings off in some far away fantasy world" OH IF ONLY THEY KNEW

Rotbtd modern au but it's realistic to the fact they're all dumb ass kids.

Jack's got one of those fuckass ugly galaxy pattern hoodies, Rapunzels putting on the most horribly mis-matched brightly colerd clothes imaginable (she's having fun getting to be in charge of what she wears for once), Hiccups wearing one of those 'I paused my game to be here' shirts, Merida's one of those converse owners whose shoes are literally decaying, holding on for their life with duct tape but she insists she's not getting new ones until her current shoes are unwearable (her feet get wet if she steps in a puddle. You can't keep making Hiccup hot glue them together. You can literally afford to get new ones why are you doing this)

Seen and noted 👀👀👀

my huge gripe w modern httyd aus is that it’s always set in the suburban midwest in podunk nothing town without taking it to its natural conclusion. As if berk would not be a steel mill town on the rust belt with the gas prices jacked sky high for tourists driving through the middle of nowhere. As if the barbaric archipelago would be the suburbs of a big city rather than rural towns in the Deep South. as if hiccup would not somehow end up hiking in the appalachias or turn up half dead after missing for 6months in the oregon wilderness. Cowards. Fools. if you’re setting it in america then you should take it to its natural conclusion 🗣️🗣️🗣️

@lovestrucklyuniverse’s submission for Week 3: Text Prompts! This is an absolutely delightful romp featuring an unexpected-but-completely valid take on human!Olaf, the dangers of getting distracted by cute boys, the relatable misery of heat waves (thanks for nothing, climate change!), and some of the most quality ND4ND interactions I’ve ever seen! I honestly enjoyed every word, and I can’t wait for chapter 2 :3

Wonderful job on this prompt, and thank you for participating in my funky little event this year, Autie!

Hiccanna Month 2024: MOVIES AND TV WEEK Prompt: Dramas

Roommates Hiccup and Anna are locked in his closet during a game of True American, and they will not be let out until they either kiss or talk about their feelings; they all may be too dumb to consider (or mention) that part. But when confronted by Anna’s need to get out, Hiccup accidentally makes a shocking declaration.

***

And oh my god, they were roommates!

@lovestrucklyuniverse’s submission for Week 2′s second prompt, Dramas! And boy is there ever. These two have a LOT to talk about, and thoroughly refuse to do so without outside intervention. Tragically, it’s up to a group of meddlesome friends to get Hiccup and Anna to stop driving everyone around them insane with their unresolved romantic tension D:

But hey, there might yet be a way for our kids to weasel out of this situation without giving into their captors’ demands! All it’s going to take is some creative thinking, Anna’s gym training, and a few moments of bravery. No difficult feelings discussions required!

…well, probably.

I highkey love the way Hiccup and Anna here are just FULL of the exact kind of emotional constipation and social ineptitude I LIVE for in Hiccanna fic :O King and queen of talking around the point for hours on end, and I wouldn’t have it any other way!!! You best believe they won’t so much as almost hold hands before a minimum of 5 years of intensive pining. And god, if it isn’t delicious to watch. It just makes it all the more satisfying when the dam finally explodes, and there’s enough pent-up love and yearning and passion to level cities.

Great job as always, Autie 💗 Read on for a quality drama with a thoroughly cathartic ending!
