teenager will be like ur 40 with a hobby ? 💀 that’s sad <- nobody else thinks this way though they are just going through some stuff

mercurialmalcontent

#they've also just experienced much less TIME and way larger social and physical changes #so it's natural to be like ok every 10 years i basically give up 90% of the stuff i like and spend my time doing#and replace it with new things for big kids/teenagers/adults #AND they have a limited view of the lives of the adults around them bc most are their teachers that they only see at school #and ofc their parents and whatever other adult in their life #so it looks like 30 is just The Age Where You Get Boring so you must be doing something wrong if you have nerdy hobbies (peer reviewed tags by @bogunicorn)

One of the things that bears repeating before the hot weather takes over is that once your body reaches a certain temperature you can no longer count on making good decisions that you would normally make and you can no longer count on your physical coordination.

Keeping yourself as cool as possible isn't being weak or wimpy. It's protecting your capacity to think and move well if you need to.

In France and other countries last week it was clear that some people died from doing things they never would have done had they been thinking clearly. That confusion can happen to anyone and it comes sooner than people expect. Please, my Tumblr friends in places that will be getting very hot this week, be safe! Don't tough it out and don't take chances. Go somewhere cool if you can and of course, hydrate!

The problem with getting really into plant care and 'ooh I'll see if I can propagate these cuttings and these offsets' is that you very quickly run out of available space for it all.

mercurialmalcontent

I'm out of room in places that get a reasonable amount of light!!

#don't worry about the herbs I just potted the thai basil cuttings now that they've grown roots and they're being upset about it #the chives have looked straggly since I rescued them but hopefully not being all crowded into the same pot will make them perk up a little #the kalanchoe on the left is a bit damaged because she was planted outside at school #I also have a Zamioculcas I adopted from a neighbor lol #it's gotten a bit out of hand

reminding everyone to wear sunscreen because the sun is a deadly laser: 😁😊

having to spend 10 minutes slathering yourself in grease just to safely be outside in the sun for 20 minutes. because the sun is a deadly laser: 😐👎

shadowfromthestarlight

Is this a joke? because 20 minutes is about the amount of sun exposure you should ideally be getting UNPROTECTED to make Vitamin D if you’re light-skinned. If you’re darker-skinned you need more, maybe even up to an hour. And that’s midday sun. There is absolutely no reason to “protect” yourself from the sun early in the morning or in the evening. Letting early morning light hit your bare skin and eyes prepares your body for more intense sun exposure later in the day.

The sun’s rhythms govern all terrestrial life, and our bodies evolved to utilize its various wavelengths. Treating the sun as a deadly laser is about the worst thing you can do for your health.

Oh boy there is something very insidious about advocating for darker skinned people to spend more unprotected time in the Sun, especially when detecting skin cancer is already so biased towards light skinned people and leads to many poc going unchecked for skin cancer until it’s already too late.

I’m not saying it was a deliberate act of racism, but that’s why it’s so insidious, because it happens without conscious thought; this is a pretty good example of how racism slips into literally every aspect of daily life without people even noticing. If you need more Vitamin D, supplements are good enough. They work for people who live in countries that already don’t get much sunlight. If you are dark skinned, do NOT spend an hour in the Sun unprotected, use sunscreen and stay in the shade.

Here’s an article on the signs of skin cancer in people with all skin types, and why it’s a complete misunderstanding that people with more melanin don’t need as much sun protection.

Every single article about skin cancer advocates for UV protection no matter what your skin type is. They do not think that “natural” Vitamin D is worth the risk of dying.

curlicuecal

also it is good to get some direct sunshine for vitamin d, but *sunscreen does not substantially affect vitamin d conversion*

so wear your sunscreen!

#there are some very good sunblocks out there!#they're very expensive unfortunately :') but they work great #(as someone who lives a little south of the Arctic Circle I gotta say though:#vitamin D pills do fuck-all for SAD #need actual daylight to combat that bastard)

one of those bills effectively requiring ID verification for 18+ content is going up for vote in the House of Representatives on Monday, it's called KIDS now. The vote is scheduled for and it's packaged with a bill banning state-level AI regulation to add the cherry on top. I'd advise calling your representative about this *now*.

From what I've heard from inside, congressional offices do tally up how many call-ins they get for and against bills, so calling does actually do something.

Find your members of Congress by typing in your address on Congress.gov.

Further information on details of the bill here:

Buried inside the KIDS Act are provisions that will push online services to verify all users’ ages, require government-directed moderation p

Today is now Monday! Reblog and Call call call! It only takes 2 minutes to find the number and leave a short message. You can find a prewritten message on the EFF site if you find that easier.

And if you’re not in the US please reblog so that your American followers can see this; most of the most powerful internet companies are in the US so our regulations will end up effecting you too.

This is fucked. Bug your reps. Things already suck enough without this on top.

When we were children, my sister had private music lessons at her violin teacher’s house. I only visited there once, but I still remember that afternoon. The teacher had an artificial pond in her yard, a large beautiful thing with lily pads and plant life. And in the pond, there were goldfish. I had never seen such enormous goldfish.

I spent several minutes just staring at them (and trying to convince them to bite my fingers.) When my sister’s violin lesson ended, her teacher came out to the yard and explained that these goldfish were the same small creatures that were often unfortunately sold in plastic bags at state fairs. They were only about two inches long apiece, when she bought them and put them in the new, empty pond. In essence, they were like every goldfish I had seen before, but they had been given a much larger, much richer environment in which to flourish. As a result, they had grown into some of the most remarkable, vibrant creatures my twelve-year-old self had ever met with. All because of a pond.

Funny what lessons children remember. My sister doesn’t play the violin anymore, but that was the first time I caught a glimpse of the overwhelming extent to which it matters, the way the world treats us.

did tumblr delete my post

doggirlpaws

yeah, they did. I wrote up a big long post about the Trevor Project and the 12 hour charity livestream I'm participating in right now, and they deleted it. twice. We've raised over $50,000 for a legitimate charity but because it helps trans kids it gets deleted from the site

doggirlpaws

please share this if you can. so many amazing people have come together to make this happen.

if I make these links clickable they'll get deleted so please copy and paste them:

Peeps in extreme temperatures, plain water is NOT the only way to stay hydrated and can in fact be more dangerous if you're sweating a lot and not putting more electrolytes back into your body.

There are a ton of quick and cheap electrolyte drink recipes that you can find online. Tea, coffee, cocount water, milk, milk substitutes, juice, etc are all hydrating despite extremely persistent myths. Many fruits and veggies like cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, bell peppers, etc have high water content and are a great way to hydrate while also getting vital nutrients. Popsicles are also a good way to stay cool and hydrated and you can buy them or make your own with whatever ingredients you want; there are recipes online, including ones for electrolyte popsicles, but you can also just do basic ones with your choice of fruit juice and whatever you want to add, like chunks of fresh or frozen fruit.

Anyone who is telling you that you can ONLY drink plain water to stay hydrated is incredibly misinformed, even if they have experience with high temperatures.

mercurialmalcontent

I'd like to sing the praises of frozen grapes! They'll help you hydrate and cool you down really effectively, and they have a fun texture. If you like grapes and they're affordable, it's worth getting a package or two, rinsing, then popping them in the freezer for later.

#I just ate half a package of frozen grapes after a somewhat unpleasant walk and I feel tons better #half a package might be too much for most people lol I just really really like frozen grapes

I'm nowhere near Appalachia--Texan born and raised--but I've heard stories. And there's just some little pockets of civilization you just leave the hell alone and forget you ever heard about them.

muttsandmustelidae

holy mother of fucking classism WHAT is this post and why was it recommended to me??? “feral people”???? “their kind”?????? hello???? do you hear yourselves????? do you think before you type out words and hit send??? Be Normal About The Appalachias Challenge, Difficulty: Fucking Impossible i guess. y’all really see a low income family living in a rural area and start pissing your pants with fear and writing horror stories. fuck off with that. there’s no “feral people”, there’s no whispering in the woods, and you don’t go into the woods after dark BECAUSE ITS THE FUCKING WOODS AND ITS DARK AND YOU’RE MORE LIKELY TO GET LOST. fuck. i’m so tired of this shit. we’re literally just people.

creekfiend

why are people so persistently weird about appalachia

chaumas-deactivated20240115

this is so stupid y’all should be embarrassed

headspace-hotel

I'm not even sure what kind of bigotry this is but it's something. My god.

chekhovs-raygun

you don't go wandering around the appalachians after dark because they have a fuckzillion natural caves a fuckzillion additional mineshafts with a fuckton of random-ass poorly husbanded new growth forest skinned overtop. you don't need feral hillbillies to explain why people disappear in a mountain range with more holes than fleshlight factory. you need two seconds of looking at a map.
