Hi SPG fans!! If you don't know (its been 2 years, I don't blame you), I write fanfiction on AO3! And I ACTUALLY UPDATED SOMETHING!!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/46643677
This chapter was one I had as an idea since before I wrote this fic.
Seeing Steam Powered Giraffe in Pontiac was genuinely a dream come true. I was a nervous wreck at the VIP meet so I didn't get to say a lot of what I wanted so here it is in text form!!!
Steam Powered Giraffe found me when the entire world shut down. Everyone was stuck inside and I, like many, was upset I lost a lot of those fun highschool memories people constantly tell you about. Lost a lot of my friends, was truly alone when the world was gone. And here came Honeybee, playing randomly in the background of a video. I fell in love, and spent the next six years of my life researching everything I could about this band, dreaming of a day I'd get to see them live, especially with the worlds state. Even almost booked an AirBNB in California to get my wish!
And after a long six years, it happened. Thank you so much to SPG for existing so weirdos like me could feel seen. Until we meet again!!!
Genuinely the best night of my life.
Get to see and meet my favorite band ever in 4 days oh I'm so excited
dan and phil reveal the truth (but like actually this time)
Not normal about this actually.

That means that when you donate, it goes to change.org. Now, this isn't useless — it does mean that the petition gets boosted. However, you're pretty much doing the same thing by reblogging. I am concerned about people donating something like $40 dollars since I'm not sure if they realize it doesn't contribute to the legal fund or not.
If you want to donate to the internet archive's legal fund (and help with operation costs), then you can click here to go their donation page
I saw this without that last bit before. READ THAT LAST BIT.
If you've ever used the Internet Archive to hunt down sims CC with broken links, old tutorials, or deleted stories, consider signing or donating directly to the Archive.
I cannot overstate what a loss this would be. I personally use the Internet Archive or the Wayback Machine multiple times a month, either hunting for archived pages (usually for CC!!) or finding old books I do not have (and cannot gain) access to for research.

According to the CDC, in 10 percent of those drownings, the adult will actually watch the child do it, having no idea it is happening. Drowning does not look like drowning—Dr. Pia, in an article in the Coast Guard’s On Scene magazine, described the Instinctive Drowning Response like this:
“Except in rare circumstances, drowning people are physiologically unable to call out for help. The respiratory system was designed for breathing. Speech is the secondary or overlaid function. Breathing must be fulfilled before speech occurs.
Drowning people’s mouths alternately sink below and reappear above the surface of the water. The mouths of drowning people are not above the surface of the water long enough for them to exhale, inhale, and call out for help. When the drowning people’s mouths are above the surface, they exhale and inhale quickly as their mouths start to sink below the surface of the water.
Drowning people cannot wave for help. Nature instinctively forces them to extend their arms laterally and press down on the water’s surface. Pressing down on the surface of the water permits drowning people to leverage their bodies so they can lift their mouths out of the water to breathe.
Throughout the Instinctive Drowning Response, drowning people cannot voluntarily control their arm movements. Physiologically, drowning people who are struggling on the surface of the water cannot stop drowning and perform voluntary movements such as waving for help, moving toward a rescuer, or reaching out for a piece of rescue equipment.
From beginning to end of the Instinctive Drowning Response people’s bodies remain upright in the water, with no evidence of a supporting kick. Unless rescued by a trained lifeguard, these drowning people can only struggle on the surface of the water from 20 to 60 seconds before submersion occurs.”
This doesn’t mean that a person that is yelling for help and thrashing isn’t in real trouble—they are experiencing aquatic distress. Not always present before the Instinctive Drowning Response, aquatic distress doesn’t last long—but unlike true drowning, these victims can still assist in their own rescue. They can grab lifelines, throw rings, etc.
Look for these other signs of drowning when persons are in the water:
Head low in the water, mouth at water level
Head tilted back with mouth open
Eyes glassy and empty, unable to focus
Eyes closed
Hair over forehead or eyes
Not using legs—vertical
Hyperventilating or gasping
Trying to swim in a particular direction but not making headway
Trying to roll over on the back
Appear to be climbing an invisible ladder
So if a crew member falls overboard and everything looks OK—don’t be too sure. Sometimes the most common indication that someone is drowning is that they don’t look like they’re drowning. They may just look like they are treading water and looking up at the deck. One way to be sure? Ask them, “Are you all right?” If they can answer at all—they probably are. If they return a blank stare, you may have less than 30 seconds to get to them. And parents—children playing in the water make noise. When they get quiet, you get to them and find out why.

BOOST FOR THE SUMMER. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.
Can I just say thank you to OP for putting such a detailed description on this?
I’ve been a lifeguard for 6 years now and of all the saves I’ve done, maybe two or three had people drowning in the stereotypical thrashing style. And even those, like the save I made last weekend, it was exactly like OP describes where the person’s head is going in and out of the water but it isn’t long enough to get any air. Mostly you recognize drowning by the look on someone’s face. If someone looks wide eyed and terrified or confused, chances are they’re drowning. That look of “oh shit” is pretty easily recognizable. And even if you can’t tell for sure: GO AFTER THEM ANYWAY. I’ve done “saves” where a kid was pretending to drown and I mistook it for real drowning, but that’s preferable to a kid ACTUALLY drowning.
Also please remember that even strong swimmers can drown if they have a medical emergency, get cramps, or get too tired. If your friend knows how to swim but they’re acting funny get them to land. And even if someone can respond when you ask them if they need help, if they say they do need help? GO HELP THEM.
However . If the victim is a stranger, I can’t recommend trying to get them. Lifeguards literally train to escape “attacks,” because people who are drowning can freak the fuck out and grab you and make YOU drown as well. If you do go in after someone, take hold of them from the back and talk to them the whole time. IF YOU ARE GRABBED: duck down into the water as low as you can get. The person is panicking and won’t want to go under water and should release you. Shove up at their hands and push them away from you as you duck under. Don’t die trying to save someone else.
Please guys, read and memorize this post. Not all places have lifeguards. Being able to recognize drowning is such an important skill to have and you can save someone’s life.
Just incase!
In a water park once, I was suddenly grabbed by a child and he dragged me under the water without warning. I was going to get angry with him when I resurfaced because I thought he was being an ass, until I looked at him go back in and out hyperventilating the entire time. I grabbed him under his arms and began trying to drag him out while screaming for the lifeguard.
When the lifeguard got us both out, a woman came running down and accused me of harming him and said he had been completely fine in the water. That there was no reason to drag him out of there. The lifeguard had to explain to her that her son had been drowning, to which her response was to say that she didn’t hear him call for help.
People seriously need to learn the signs.

In light of the Phineas and Ferb revival on the horizon I'd like to share a dream I had last night.
I don't fully remember it's contents, but in it, I was watching the revival and on one of the final episodes. In it, Doofenshmirtz was getting ready to fire up an inator--he had fired up two before it and successfully got them to work, and now he was getting ready to complete the last part of his plan with the last inator, which was made to split the timeline into two. The whole Tri-State Area had gotten involved in the problem by now, including Phineas & Ferb and company, and Perry was stuck, tied up by the inator. Doof was of course giving his evil monologue, fully aware that he was winning, but as the clock for the inator's activation as ticking down, he slowly went from smug to giddy. He couldn't believe it, he was actually winning!!! He started posing and yelling out cheers (stuff along the lines of "THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT!! WOO!") until at one point, as the timer had 15 seconds left, he bent down and scooped up a dreary looking Perry.
"You know Perry the Platypus, I wouldn't be able to have done this without someone there with me for every screwup. Platypuses can be such troublesome critters, but some apples from rotten trees fall really far. Like you! I like you. :)"
And then he proceeded to give Perry a big kiss right on the beak, in front of the whole tri-state area. And it wasn't one of those cartoony mocking smooches you'd see in cartoons, it was a little kiss on the beak that latest a full 5 seconds, during which the camera panned to the various baffled and horrified reactions of the cast. As Doof finally pulled away from an utterly dumbstruck Perry, he proceeded to carelessly drop him on the ground (Perry hit the ground with a comedic, pronounced "thump") as the inator roared to life and much of the crowd was forced to take cover from the sheer force of its activation (the unlikely ones who couldn't hide were blown back like they were hit by a hurricane, especially Perry, who hit the wall).
The timeline was thus split in two, and from then on the next few episodes had the usual "double episode" thing going for them except each episode was of the same day as it was in the different timelines. So episode 1 consisted of two versions of day 1, episode 2 consisted of two versions of day 2, and so on and so forth. The episodes only stopped doing that until Phineas and Ferb found a way to reverse the affect, even though it cost them the rest of their summer.
All Tumblr was going batshit INSANE. The certain subset of the Phineas and Ferb Fandom was VIBRATING. Both avid fans and nostalgic people/people just familiar with pop culture were actively losing their minds. Twitter was raging. TikTok was laughing. Tumblr was giggling. Perryshmirtz was confirmed and it was in the funniest way possible. People started making those "when he says ily but ___ said _____" memes with what Doof said before kissing Perry, and people started redrawing the kiss. The show got unnecessarily complicated afterwards and of course Tumblr laughed at that. The moment became one of the most simultaneously famous and infamous pop culture history.
And this was all in the dream I had last night while doped up on Tylenol for pain.
Well, that was fun, huh?
(Zombies and the Arcane cast were somehow there too, but don't ask about those. Those came in after I watched the revival, but I think they're worth mentioning as so those reading this can gauge the sheer magnitude of nonsense that my dream rocketed to last night.)

every time i bring up reed being autistic some allistic person always chimes in with “but he’s bad autistic representation cause he does xyz” when in reality the things people say are “bad representation” are just the unpleasant parts of being autistic
like yeah, sometimes i will ignore the people i love and care about for days on end cause im so focused on my special interest. sometimes i will say the wrong thing, come off as “robotic”, or be an asshole accidentally. sometimes i can’t think outside myself. autism is a disability. it is disabling and the unpleasant parts deserve to be shown just as much as the pleasant parts
mr fantastic, to me, shows off the unpleasant parts of being disabled while also showing us that at the end of the day, we are still heroes. we are disabled and are impacted by our disability, yet despite that we are good people at heart. that is why he’s authentic
people don’t want to confront the idea that autism isn’t just quirky all the time and that we are impacted by our disability all the fucking time and reed being autistic forces people to confront the harsh realities of autism
I keep seeing people talk about Linda being a bad mom because she never even stops to consider that what Candace is telling her might be true.
As if we don't have two canonical episodes of Phineas and Ferb where the literal basis of the plot is that Candace watches a movie and then becomes convinced that she is living out the plot of said movie.
And we also have canonical confirmation that this isn't an out of the ordinary reaction for Candace to have about the movies she watches.
In the episode where Candace is convinced she's a vampire, Jeremy says to Stacy, "You just had to take her to see the vampire movie, didn't you?"
Like Candace is the kind of kid over protective parents were worried about being influenced by the old slapstick cartoons.
She's one of the ones the Please Don't Try This At Home advisory warnings are for.
There's 104 days of summer vacation and school comes along just to end it
it's kinda terrifying to see people forget about the events that have transpired in gaza since oct 2023. every tragedy that once created mass outrage was soon forgotten as another tragedy took place.
it's just so disturbing to realise that no palestinian has emerged from this unscathed. everyone has a family member they lost, a friend they miss dearly, a home they long to return to but cannot because it no longer exists.
a very huge part of gaza is rubble. the recent ceasefire has allowed people the chance to attempt to rebuild their lost homes. my friend alaa is one of them. she wants her children to live under a proper roof. please consider helping her out. her fundraiser is verified.
please donate here
the last donation was nine hours ago, please consider helping out!
