you're not supposed to wander around appalachia at night bc you'll fall off a sheer drop that you couldn't see coming. this is also a major risk during the day. you really have to watch out for the sheer drops that you don't see coming due to the undergrowth. I suspect 100% of spooky missing persons cases in appalachia have the spooky explanation of "sheer drop disguised by undergrowth"
really cannot overstate how many utterly invisible ravines we got here and also how big the woods are. they can't find people because the woods? are big
in seriousness you can learn about the isolated Appalachian communities that were up here until quite recently by checking out the foxfire books. it is true that there were many isolated communities that remained pretty separate from mainstream American life for a longish time but most of the last ones were my grandpa's generation. and they were regular? can't overstate how regular they were. just rural and isolated with their own culture. do check out the foxfire museum if you want to learn more about them and their lives! those books are based on real interviews conducted by local high schoolers and college students of the old folks in their communities and they are very interesting windows into day to day rural life up in the mountains in the early to mid 20th century.
I absolutely 100% do not mean this in a like derogatory city slickers way; I myself grew up mostly in a city and I think that it is morally neutral to not have experience with The Outdoors. having said that, I have noticed that a lot of people who do not have regular interactions with "landscape that can kill you" do seem to have an internalized idea that "landscape that can kill you" is something that only happens to other people, or not very often, or only under extreme circumstances. which I think often leads them to assume that there must be something else out here that can kill you. but I fear I must inform the people who wanna believe scary Appalachian woods monsters are real that it's Landscape. inclusive of the beasts that dwell there such as the cougars and bears. its Landscape! (GRASPING EVERYONE ON THE SPOOKY APPALACHIAN TRAIL SUBREDDITS) IT'S LANDSCAPE THAT KILLS YOU! ITS ALWAYS LANDSCAPE! Old Man Hidden Ravine and his best friend Exposure!
Where Fear of the Dark falls short as a DW novel I think it would do CRAZY numbers as a television serial. Like The Impossible Planet/the Satan Pit but better because instead of an unserious looking CGI monster it's just the darkness itself. Wouldn't that fuck

Some doctor who fans really need to ask themselves who told them that only the show is canon and why they feel the need to believe that person
some attempt to sort ancient gallifrey into an easy resource
look, ancient gallifrey is complicated and makes no sense, and sometimes you literally cannot make things line up. but here's my best stab at it post-pythia. sources i've read for this: time's crucible, omega (audio), lungbarrow, lungbarrow by loomlight, the infinity doctors, the scrolls of rassilon, the show, plus some tardis.wiki scrolling. this is intended to be short and readable i have a lot more thoughts and know a lot more about it. obviously my word is not gospel
the triumvirate:
rassilon: musician, politician, military commander, engineer, biologist, architect, academic. what can't this guy do. he has an unnamed wife and a stillborn daughter
omega: of the house of arca. solar engineer. married to patience. opposed to rassilon's military takeover of gallifrey, but did nothing about it. rassilon called him a democrat. was originally called peylix but pitched his time travel theory mid exam and failed it so badly he got a grade so low he was the first to ever get it (omega)
the other: the timeless child grown up; the source of regeneration. rassilon's advisor/servant. generally hooded. raised by tecteun. has a lot of otherworldly powers. rassilon considers them a friend but also says he doesn't know anything about them and also rassilon appears to be afraid of them. the hand of omega stalks them for some reason. kills themselves via loom, eventually being reloomed as the doctor. potentially the child of leela and andred
presidents:
urizen (had a lot of god-themed baggage, subject to a coup)
pandak (during the vampire wars, overthrown by rassilon)
rassilon (ruled for just under a thousand years before being put in the death zone in that tower)
politicians:
omega
temus: the only one of pandak's high council to attempt to shoot back. was killed.
zabor: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
lady norin: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
mayeron: survivor of pandak's high council post-coup. sent off to the south of gallifrey
military:
we know rassilon seemed to be running the thing
gimel: a general and very very close to rassilon, appears to have been taking orders directly from him. really doesn't like thremix. had a lot of people including omega watched. was eventually killed off by rassilon in a coup attempt
(solar) engineers:
rassilon
omega
jelen: worked under rassilon directly. had access to the details of the sash of rassilon as was able to manipulate the material into a forcefield for an attempted coup. was killed during said coup by rassilon
vandekirian: omega's assistant, but potentially given to omega by rassilon as people theorised that vandekirian was rassilon's plant to kill omega
artron: artron energy is named after him. as this comes from the time vortex and the eye of harmony and is in tardises etc this makes sense for him to be an engineer. however as he apparently started experimenting with healing maybe he was booted over to the biologists side...?
biologists:
tecteun: the technolodger. tortured the timeless child with looms to get regeneration energy. was presumably the first to regenerate. although in other accounts this is rassilon
rassilon: worked on looms, transforming them from tecteun's regeneration energy stealing machines into the way of creating new time lords
thremix: an obscure biologist not taken seriously by the rest of gallifrey's biology community. created the "immortality disease", as per the scrolls of rassilon, which are probably fictionalised in universe anyway, but probably had something to do with regeneration anyway. was apparently killed by gimel before gaining the ability to regenerate, but can definitely regenerate in lungbarrow by loomlight, so.
artron: maybe
others:
patience: of the house of blyledge. omega's wife. the other's wife, after omega's death. had thirteen children with the other. grandmother to susan. her family was slaughtered on order of the technolodger (tecteun). was having an affair with the other while married to omega, which omega seems weirdly chill about. omega doesn't think she loved him. either pulled off having thirteen children and a grandchild in less than 10 years (from omega's death to the other's suicide) or omega didn't notice her getting pregnant thirteen times OR he noticed and was fine with it for whatever reason. tutored the other
eutenoyar: related to the founding in some way. has a cult.
apeiron: related to the founding in some way. has a cult.
the red handed jackal: a yssgaroth/vampire who may or may not be a past life of the other. i cannot parse how this makes sense so just roll with it. was (consensually) killed by the other as part of a ritual also involving rassilon, omega, and thremix in order to create a concrete start to the vampire wars
i hope this is helpful to someone, maybe

keeping getting people asking what happens if a gag candidate gets elected to parliament and im like well they become a member of parliament
they're not a separate category from real candidates. theres simply no rule that precludes running for parliament as an intergalactic space warrior.
you call them flop posts but I call them reaching my target demographic: whichever mutuals are active rn
6 hour workday maximum i’m not kidding, if it can’t be done in that timeframe it doesn’t need doing.
this doesn't apply to jobs like childcare
If i worked in childcare and my 6 hours were up i would start putting babies in ziploc bags and shipping them to Turkmenistan listed as endangered fruits and vegetables
Maryland will become the first US state to ban surveillance pricing in retail stores, after passing Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Jesus fucking christ that this exists in the first place
I WAS FUCKING WONDERING WHAT THOSE DIGITAL PRICE TAGS WERE ABOUT SUDDENLY i had hoped they were so the workers didn't have to finagle those little papers into the slider part anymore 😭
Hi, yes, that is the OFFICIAL excuse made to me by the guy replacing the paper tags with digital ones at my local Walmart, but the end goal is to remove the numbers off the shelf entirely, replacing them with QR codes that you have to scan with the app…. Which requires your login information….. and also stores your card information so even if you didn’t use your Walmart account at the physical checkout, if you used a card they recognize, they assign that purchase to your Walmart account purchase history.
I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.
Sure. That’s how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:
Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.
No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.
So here’s what we’re gonna do gang:
Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:
Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.
Express that you didn’t actually want it, you just couldn’t see on the shelf how much it was.
POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.
When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you don’t want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)
If it’s a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If it’s a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.
In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.
Yes, call your reps. Yes, push for more legislation like this in more places. But also take an extra minute out of your shopping trip to MAKE IT HURT for companies to pull this shit.
I've seen some people in the notes express (very fair) concern that this is only going to inconvenience already under-paid laborers, and not have any impact on corporate. While I can't speak for every company or every store, I do work in a grocery store and I can tell you this is precisely the kind of thing that would have an impact, especially if people are doing it en masse. Stores absolutely track their shrink numbers, and they do draw distinctions between what gets stolen, damaged, or wasted for other reasons. If people are making it clear that the reason they're bringing things to the cashier is that the prices are not adequately represented on the displays, and rather than improving business it's wasting product, slowing down transactions, and causing confusion and mistrust in customers, that is a language that shareholders speak.
I worked in retail for years. If this had happened while I was working retail, I would have been delighted and felt great solidarity with anyone who was wasting my employer's time and money and giving me busy work as an act of protest. In point of fact every moment the employee spends carting items back to the shelves is a moment not spent standing at a register.
don't fucking eat alone give me piece ii love pizza with grease

I really like your art a lot! It's just tough to get traction on Tumblr, especially when you're posting original stuff. People only want to reblog their blorbos (sometimes I'm guilty of this, too). Tangential thought: you tag your OCs individually, but do you also have a tag for all the posts (art, text) about them as a collective (assuming they're in the same work/world)? That might get people more invested if they're curious. IDK, just a thought. Please keep making art! <3
It's not that nobody really wants to see my ocs and traditional art (though that's part of it). It's also my fanart. I've only made fanart a couple of times and it's just. I feel like for my art to be fit to be looked at at all i have to color it and make it absolutely perfect, and it's so much work because I have to do it on my stupid phone. I can't do art on a tablet. I can't afford it. I'm too poor to making fucking ART so all my art is hideous compared to everyone else's. So when I get a good idea for fanart I agonize and agonize over making it perfect and then when I finally spit it out its crickets. Nobody likes it. Nobody wants to see it. And I know there's no possible way of knowing but it's just! Is my art style wrong? Are my designs cringe? Am I an idiot for drawing this in the first place? And it doesn't help that I'm more used to drawing animals than people. Everything's asymmetrical. The only person who used to like my art was my ex mutual and, well, he lied to me about our friendship so I'll never know if any of it was sincere.
I guess I don't have a collective original tag. Usually when I talk about the actual work it's tagged #e&s but I should probably corral my oc talks under a bigger tag...
