i just think its interesting how alien races are immediately implied to be aracial. YOU MEAN WHITE!!!!!!!!!!! either that or the white authors take insp from non western nations because of how 'ethnically exotic' they are.

I treat fnaf theorists on YouTube like how wreck it ralph treated turbo like I watch a fnaf theorist that looked promising on the outside start making content farm videos and go "you're not going matpat are you"

May I humbly request some Jopson(s)?

realized it's funny that i watched these two after falling down the rabbit hole and gave them the same rating when they're very different movies, like one is about a character getting to explore taboo elements of their sexuality and desires that most people sought out cuz of a scene which is centered on the ass of a male Saw actor, and the other is Delta of Venus

One of the things I love about SNW (though some of the fandom is totally bitching about it) is how thin Kirk looks, not cause I prefer him that way, but he almost looks underweight? An impression I didn't get of Paul Wesley in tvd! And between this, the episodes in which Bones places Jim on a diet in TOS, and Jim's being overweight in older movies give me the impression that JIm is bad at regulating his food intake, body weight, and probably does have some food disorders as a result of Tarsus!

Just found out apparently some people are upset with wonderful precure having pacifist solutions to the villains? I mean first of all narratively it's just interesting to change things up especially with the mild educational angle. Plus they're still having battles they're just avoiding harming the gatugaru.

Second and most importantly, though, there is no world in which precure, a show made for 5 year old girls, was going to depict the heroes beating up pets and common wild animals. That's a lawsuit waiting to happen when some kid decides their hamster is a garugaru and throws it at a wall or runs into a wild animal and sets their dog on it. There's two situations where the cures do actively fight and it's when it's a dangerous predator and when Nyammy is showing that it's a bad thing.

It's the same situation as how they've been adding boys to the main cast, and making it more gender-inclusive, in combat heavy seasons to appeases the parents, who have historically always been down their throats for depicting combat in a show for little girls.

Precure is more than just its (incredibly inconsistent) inclusion of punching the problem away and there's nothing wrong with that. And its in fact is a good thing for seasons to have tailored solutions to their specific topics and problems, the same way the season where the villains are literal diseases that cannot be reasoned with did not get any redemptions. They were never going to punch the animals in the animal welfare season right after explaining animals only attack because they are scared.

Precure is a show for little girls to teach them about compassion and morals, if you only rate a precure season on how violent it is (and this season isn't even non violent they just try to avoid direct harm) then you can be disappointed, but then you are also firmly not in the target audience and that's not a fault of the show. Having a show for young girls that allows for combat as a solution is *cool* and *good* but it is not *important*. The important part is problem solving, and the solution to wonderful precure's problem of scared rampaging animals is patience and understanding. Both narratively and in reality as a show for impressionable 5 year olds and their antsy parents who are likely to actually interact with these animals.

could you talk more about what your geese are like and what its like to own them? ive been so obsessed with them lately and theyre so silly to me :3

Oh hell yeah I'll talk about my geese any day

Geese are really, really silly. A lot of people find them scary, but they can be very sweet and extremely loyal.

My geese will follow me everywhere. If I walk from one side of the land to the other, at a slow pace, they will typically follow in a slow line behind me. During late summer and early fall when green grass is more scarce, I like to take them to parts of the lot that they haven't been to in a while so they can keep up on their greens :3.

If I'm not the one leading, Sebastian, the gander of the group, takes on that role. I took these pictures today, and he was feeling particularly protective of the hens while I was taking these pictures (I was doing really close up pics, something I don't normally do so I don't blame him.) When a goose, especially a gander, is being protective of something, they always position themselves between you and what they're protecting.

Something else people don't realise about geese is that they pay really close attention to body language. A lot of attacks from geese are because people start acting weird around them. They take this like, "this human is not acting like how humans usually act, so I feel uncomfortable." Especially in early spring when they have babies.

...But also, they like to check people. They check every living thing around them more often than not, because they get bored easily and have fun asserting themselves. When alone they do this to each other, but if you're new around, they will try and fuck with you. And if you react how they want, which is usually in backing away, flinching, or even sometimes they're looking for a fight so approaching them the wrong way as well, they will keep going until you're chased off.

Sometimes I use my geese to keep my chickens safe, because getting occasionally pestered by a goose for straying into their grazing grounds keeps them closer together and near their coop, and out of sight of eagles and hawks.

But what's really funny, is if you just... ignore them, as long as you aren't walking towards something they're protective of and you aren't showing signs of stress, they just stop. They fail to check you and that's that, and unless you've really pissed them off beforehand, they'll forget about it. I have a tiny, clueless chicken named Sloppy Joe who doesn't read body language well at all. So whenever a goose checks her they never succeed, because she's too busy not paying attention to notice she's being challenged.

The center focus goose in this picture is Gertrude, or who I like to call Gerdy (I think of Binding of Isaac's boss Gerdy), and she's been especially funny lately.

My geese aren't ever thrilled about being picked up so I don't tend to upset them with holding them if I don't have a reason to. But lately, Gerdy doesn't leave the pen when they're let out. She gets vocal and upset that everybody left without her, and she paces by the gate. There's no reason for this. So I've been picking her up and helping her out, and when she's put back down she happily runs to go meet up with the others, it never fails.

I think she's just been wanting attention. When I first got her she was always a lot more tolerant to being touched and handled. She also likes to stand very close to me and stare at me and shake her head. (Head shaking can be fear, a threat, or excitement. It's hard to tell which it is, but I know her. She's giddy.)

I've been taking their pleasant mood in as much as I can lately, because when December rolls around, they start getting into their pre-mating season funk. Sebastian is a short fuse and the hens are hissy even before they start laying eggs 🙄

I usually have to avoid sitting on the hill like this during mating season, because Sebastian is so unpredictable during those months. But it was nice today and everybody was in a good mood :).

in my oc world there are shapeshifting characters who can make themselves larger or usually incorporeal spirits who can choose to appear in the form of giant humans but giants as flesh and blood creatures who are that size by default dont exist because i thought about it and realistically i do not think a terrestrial ecosystem could actually support life on that scale long term. mermaids on the other hand would probably get frighteningly huge

Tyler and I sit at a restaurant. He's telling me things I already know.

He's telling me, most of the mercury in the environment comes from the air. And it comes from the air from anywhere. It used to be from coal burning mostly, but we've started to stop doing that. Now it's artesianal gold mining. If you're poor, and you're in some unfortunate shithole, and you hear the white men are coming in to drill up the earth for gold, or they've just left — what you do is you pan out a bunch of rocks. You infuse that with mercury. It forms an amalgam, of gold and mercury and nothing else.

So far, this is fine. But to get at the gold and make a little nugget you can sell so you don't starve to death due to the destruction those people who own the gold company have wrecked upon your region, you have to boil the mercury off. Somewhere out there is fancy technology that helps you catch those areosolized droplets. You can't afford it. You don't even know you should want it. You don't know about ataxia, about losing your hearing and speech and peripheral vision, about brain damage and paralysis and comas and death. You don't know about that. You know your brother, who went insane, but you don't know why, or if you do, you don't know how to stop it, and you can't afford to do so. You boil off the mercury in the room with your baby, because it's the only room in your home, and you have no windows open because a smog has settled outside.

Don't you feel twitchy.

And then the areosolized mercury that doesn't take up residence in your baby or your brain floats on up to the atmosphere, and maybe you get revenge, because it settles down everywhere, including in the wetlands and lakes and shores of the country that that gold company is from. And little microbes eat it, methylate it, and now its much, much more dangerous. It stays in the body far too long. Now, it's concentrated, and the best and fattest fish are full of it.

And now you have to watch your tuna. Your cobia. Your kingfish. The smaller you are the less dose you need. Really, it's only a risk if you're a fetus, or you want one in you. It passes the placenta and gives a baby a small head and artifical cerebral palsy. You don't lay off the fish, you risk giving birth to someone who could match experiences with a victim from Minamata bay. Or, it's only a risk to yourself if you eat fish every day, or if all you eat often enough are the apex predators. If you're the gold mining artesian back in rural Indonesia, or one of the indigenous peoples of wherever-got-fucked who subsist on fish, you can kiss the feeling in your hands goodbye, because you don't have other options.

If you're an unknowing compatriot of the gold mining company, you're eating those fish anyway. The risky ones. The ones that are full of poison and killing them destablizes the ocean. We love our grouper, our snapper, our swordfish, our yellowfin and bluefin tuna. The safest tuna is the shittest, because it's made from the smallest skipjacks, lowest on the food chain. Methylmercury can take eighty days to leave your body. On a Florida vacation, how many big fish will you eat? How much methylmercury are you taking home with you? Can you microdose brain damage?

I know this because Tyler knows this, and Tyler orders me a plate of ahi tuna.
