Scientists in their natural habitat

Nautilus expedition live streams (+ their commentary) | 2024

MAGA and 47 make everything worse.

Gutting the FAA. Firing exceptional air trafiic controllers. Putting Sean Casey in charge of Transportation. Using DEI as your explanation.

Rot in hell, Donnie. You made this.

[neriedar]

Tax the rich. Abolish Citizens United. Recognize the class war. Respect all labor.

[neriedar]

So much of the conservative mindset seems to just be "but making things better takes WORK and I don't wanna do that."

Yeah, preventing people with a history of sexual assault from high-level jobs leaves very few qualified men. Hire more women until the men do better. It's going to take a while. Too bad, deal with it.

Yeah, giving undocumented people due process means individual court cases for every person. Fix the bureaucratic nightmare of asylum seeking and then give the people the rights their entitled to. It's going to take a while. Too bad, deal with it.

Yeah, letting trans women use the women's bathroom opens up a window for hypothetical cis men to be more brazen about assault. Fix your sexual assault problem instead of blaming the trans women. It's going to take a while. Too bad, deal with it.

Positive change takes real effort and I am grabbing you by the scruff of your neck and telling you that it is worth it. Giving up and saying that life sucks and we should just live with it is destroying us. Rome wasn't built in a day, but it can burn in one and I am smashing your fiddle over your head until you listen.

[neriedar]

And a risk to the health of people already at severe risk and kind of spitting on the people who make it their lives work to heal and help you.

Adults who are vaccinated who do not get vaccinations for their children are a menace.

Okay if this is legitimate this is something we could do

Hi 💔

I’m sorry if this message feels sudden—I truly don’t want to bother anyone. I’m Areej, a 27-year-old English teacher and writer from Gaza 🇵🇸, and I’m reaching out because my family is in desperate need of help.

The war has taken everything. We’ve lost our home 🏚, and we live each day under the constant threat of bombing and starvation 🥀. I’m trying to evacuate my family—my parents, siblings, two small children, a newborn , and my sister who is deaf —to Egypt, where we hope to find safety 🕊️.

If you’re able to donate 💌 or even just share our campaign 🔁, it could bring us one step closer to survival. Every act of kindness means the world right now 🌍🤍.

Thank you for taking a moment to read 🙏

And if you'd prefer not to receive messages like this, please just let me know—I won’t message again.

With love and hope,

Areej 🤍🌿

1. out of my head, of my heart and my mind (Dream SMP)

Tommy let himself slump into a graceless heap on top of an apartment building, yanking his communicator out of his ear. The brick wall was rough on his back, and the pebbled surface of the roof dug into the spaces between his armour. The central tower of city hall loomed over him like an omen, Hero Tower shining oppressively behind it in the setting sun. Tommy propped his head in his hands, averting his gaze. 

2. A Revelation Starts To Form (Minecraft (Video Game), Dream SMP)

Phil almost runs into the soldiers when he turns the corner. He’s thinking of other things, hand under his cloak turning a carved wooden crow from Technoblade between his fingers, and footsteps in this stretch of corridor echo directionlessly. He catches himself, wings coming out to propel him away from the bodies he nearly collided with, and multiple pairs of hands come out as if to fend him off. 

3. the pressure and the panic you push your body through (Origins SMP)

When the Ender King’s guards hauled him back down the basement steps, the Crowfather’s left eye was swollen nearly closed, and his nose was so visibly broken it moved when he breathed.

4. Where You Go And I Will Follow (Dream SMP)

Most passengers on the system shuttle were napping or focused on media as it started the scheduled descent to the Vault. Phil gathered his things and checked the viewport again. The prison hung in space outside the shuttle, a massive unmarked cube in the void. There was an irregular sparkle in the empty half-km around the construction, the laser deflection array sparking as it vaporized micro-meteorites that dared to come close. The shuttle proceeded on a careful descent down the narrow path for transit in and out of the station, bracketed on each side by the prison’s security defenses.

5. Left Behind Everything I Knew (SMPEarth)

Technoblade had arrived at the stronghold at about three in the afternoon, the portal dropping him onto a glacier under a velvet-dark sky speckled with stars.

6. runnin' with this plan (pull me, grab me)  (Dream SMP)

The path through the evil wizard’s lair had been long and twisting, full of dead ends and magical traps and monsters summoned out of nowhere.

7. took a little journey to the unknown (Dream SMP)

The man with the cargo truck Phil had hired looked at his phone, then stepped forward to grab the final box out of the back. “Why don’t I help you bring this last bit upstairs, finish up?” 

8. You Fill My Lungs With Sweetness (Dream SMP)

Phil put a bowl of soup in front of Technoblade and then put one at his own spot, sitting down and settling his wings behind him as he picked up his spoon. “There we go. Let me know what you think.”

9. Makes The Rain Different (Dream SMP)

Techno shuffled sideways and dropped the new mattress into place, then stood back and considered the bed. He was tired—he was always tired nowadays—but it looked good. What was next on the pre-hibernation checklist? He called down to the ground floor. “Bed’s together, Phil, what did you say came next?”

10. I'm Not Askin' For A Miracle  (Dream SMP)

The Syndicate meeting had gone off the rails immediately, as usual.

Okay I haven’t ever written any fic, maybe a few drabble things way back on deviantart, but I re read a few just because they resonate so well with some of my mental health and emotional issues. And some just are plain silly or feed the what if? Itch.

Especially this bit from and it whispers like a whip chapter 2

https://archiveofourown.org/works/57464266/chapters/147192400#workskin

Philza is a ghost.

The great hallways stretch before him, and the sunlight spills through the stained-glass windows and onto the floor in splashes of color. Philza brushes the back of his hand over the statue of Prime, his knuckles ghosting over it in silent respect.

The Gods be damned, he'll always have what's at least respect for Prime, if not some kind of torn-up love. Prime is strong, two muscled arms lifting the world out from the void. Prime is beautiful, even the statue drawing eyes as if the stone itself were bespelled. Prime is practically the opposite of him, these days. Prime is life, greenery spilling from the God's marble hands and along the floor.

2. Wintering with the Angel of Death

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60160678/chapters/153516175

Technoblade had mixed opinions on the winter season. Especially given how much harsher it was in the arctic. He very much valued his short springs and summers, relishing in the minimal warmth they provided. Given that he was netherborn; piglin, he had a weird relationship with the cold. While he did run hotter than most overworld species, he was designed to cool easily, to not overheat. So extra layers were required, especially since if he got too cold he’d pass out into what was essentially hibernation.

But despite the difficulties, he handled it well. He had his cape, lined with thick fur to keep out the bite of the cold, and even his crown had a minor warmth enchantment on it to help regulate body temperature. But one of the most difficult things to deal with in the winter, was Phil. Phil who was used to the cold much more than him, Phil who was ancient, immortal, and terrifyingly deadly when he needed to be. Winter Phil did not have this fear factor, as he turned into a weird bird brained mess when the temperatures dropped.

3. I’ll Wipe Away Frost on your Eyelashes

https://archiveofourown.org/works/63327343/chapters/162232033

Techno retches as tinged blue fluid surges its way out of his lungs. The path is not gentle nor pretty, coolant draining from his nose and mouth as he struggles to pull in air around it. But, it’s necessary if he ever wants his lungs to work again, so he leans over the drain and coughs harder.

The force of the violent coughing sears heat into his cheeks and chest. Against his freezing skin and organs, it burns. The fire eating its way up is as unsurprising as the fluid in his lungs.

Cryosleep is not exactly a walk in the park.

Hi ,

My name is Shada, I’m 24 years old, a new nurse graduate from Gaza 🇵🇸, and I’m reaching out in the hope that you might take a moment to hear my story.

I gave birth to my baby boy, Adam , in the middle of this war. He is now 5 months old. We’ve lost everything—our home was destroyed, and my husband’s work as a water truck driver is gone. We have evacuated multiple times, and today we live in a crowded tent camp 🏕️, not knowing where we’ll go next.

On top of everything, Adam was born with clubfoot and needs urgent surgery 🏥 that cannot be done in Gaza—not now, not even before the war. He also needs special medical boots afterward.

We’re trying to raise funds to evacuate to safety and give our son a real chance at life.

If you’re able to donate 💌 or even just share our campaign 🔁, please know it would mean the world to me. I want to live, work, and raise my family in peace. I don’t want to lose my son or my husband.

Thank you so much for reading 🌿

@suppirtadamfil

With hope and gratitude,

Shada 🤍
