Basically it's all in the title

I'm desperately looking for a ticket for the TIC 7, and someone willing to sell theirs, so I can go in August as a friend is going and I unfortunately couldn't get a ticket when the website opened. It doesn't matter if it's just one day or both, with or without accommodation

So far I've missed all the emails from the website informing that a ticket is available again and I'm quite desperate

If you're thinking of reselling your ticket through the website, could you contact me so we can exchange with the TIC?

I can also refund you the potential fees the TIC team asks

Here's what I need you to do:

If you see a post with a "mature content" label, and it's 2026, DM me a link to the post.

Yes, that's really it.

I am hoping to collect several thousand such posts, so that I have a decent sized dataset. I do not care what the post is about; if it's labeled as "mature content", I want to add it to my dataset.

What's your hypothesis, OP?

I am not talking about that unless I have results to share. That would bias the results.

I did write them down and I did share them with a trusted contact who can prove that I wrote them down the same day I made this post. (While I did so before I made this post, I am not sure they will be able to provide proof of that, because I did so on the same day.)

OP are you interested in...?

Do you have to click through to see the post? Does the clickthrough contain the words "mature content"? Then yes.

OP are you interested if the post is about...?

Should I reblog this for reach?

Yes, please. I felt really silly when I noticed I forgot to include that in the original post.

Is it okay if I send you my own posts?

Yes, those are perfect for what I'm looking for. I actually need to do some processing on a post to make it useful for testing my hypothesis, and this makes it easy.

Are you looking for "potentially mature content" also, or just "mature content"?

I want both, please. Anything that throws up a blocking screen that you have to click through. The distinctions between them are one of the things I am hoping to study.

Does it matter when the post was made originally?

Technically no. There's no way to respond to this without introducing some bias in the results, and I don't want that. However, I do collect some data on a post as part of making it useful to me, and that data is easier to collect if the post is recent.

What if I request content label review on a post after I send it to you?

I need to see the mature content label to be able to use the post. Because the mature content label hides the content of the post, it is very hard to use a post that no longer has a mature content label. You could send me a screenshot, but people could use that to lie to me.

Basically, it's more work for you to make it usable to me.

OP are you a transphobe? It would ruin the experiment for me if you're a transphobe.

Endangered Toad Spotted For First Time in Restored Texas Habitat

Conservation efforts are helping rebuild wild populations.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service recently shared the sighting of a male Houston toad on a restored private property in Bastrop County, calling it a "big win" for the endangered species. The property was one of three sites where USFWS biologists released 170,000 Houston toad eggs in April as part of a larger effort to reintroduce 3 million eggs and restore wild populations across Central Texas. The Houston toad was among the first amphibians protected under the Endangered Species Act when it was listed in 1970. Once found across parts of Southeast Texas, the small brown amphibian disappeared from Harris County by 1975 as rapid development destroyed and fragmented its habitat...
