ok tumblr is currently telling me my blog has no posts with the tags I use to track my posts, so I'm making a new one in the hope that the easy win will help the search function to believe that the power to search for my tags was inside it all along

'Is it raining where you are? '
She has more! Here's her website. She lives in the Peak District, England.
"A little shower"
"Proper big rain, that"
She has a lot of sky paintings with good colours but I particularly enjoy her human figures:
In order: Knackered / He's knackered too / The bears are really knackered / The heterosexuals, they're bloody knackered / The lesbians are knackered too / The polyamorous... well, you would be knackered, wouldn't you?
And this was just charming:
"Enjoying a little soak"
One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.
"Readers have SHORT attention spans! The average reader takes just TWO sentences to decide whether to put a book down! You have to HOOK them in the FIRST sentence! GRAB them by throat and don't let them BREATHE—"
... have... have we considered that perhaps the average reader just, like, knows what they like in a book? I mean... first sentences are famous for establishing things like *checks notes*... genre, tone, POV, pacing, character, voice, uhhh... writing style...
The average reader is putting your book down because they discovered it's in first person (or not in first person). The average reader put your book down because they wanted a cozy read, or they're sick of cozy reads, or romance, or grimdark, or assassin princesses, or vampires, or or or. The average reader put your book down because they just didn't like your writing style—no, not because it was boring... they just, get this, didn't like it.
The average critical reader put your book down because it had six grammatical mistakes in the first two sentences.
The average reader will read quite a ways if the premise intrigues them, they like the genre, the writing style doesn't get on their nerves, and the characters pop off the page. In fact, they'll probably read the whole book, so long as it delivers on its plot promises and doesn't drag in the middle section.
The average reader will, however, stop reading after just two sentences if it's clear by the second sentence that the only thing they'll like about this book is the opening line.
Idk, I just think like, painting a demographic of people who, you know, pick up full length books to read for fun, as having short attention spans doesn't make too much sense. At least not as much sense as the alternative: words tell people things; namely, the contents of this book.
In general, though, I think we jump to blame short attention spans too often when there is a far more logical explanation. "It takes 0.06 seconds for viewers to scroll past a post." Yes, that is typically how long it takes me to discern whether this post is about something I'm interested in. There's a trillion posts out there, probably a billion books, of course we've gotten fast at sorting through content. That's not an attention span issue. That's just efficiency.

“Be MANLY! Stand up for yourself!”
“You mean be assertive?”
“Yes! MANLY!”
“Women can be assertive.”
“We’d rather they not, though, so we encourage the idea that it’s ‘manly.’ We want to perpetuate self-serving gender roles, you see.”
Well, that escalated quickly. Numerically, anyway. I have yet to see fisticuffs in the reblogs.

I wonder how much of the environmental hopelessness people have on the internet is actually a result of the internet itself eliminating extremely relevant geographical differences. It's easy to get overwhelmed when you feel like literally everything you do - using water, using electricity, eating food - is just a net debit to some global balance of this stuff that everyone is collectively depleting.
But this isn't really how that works.
Whether you personally using electricity is a contributing factor for climate change depends enormously on where you live and how the place you live generates its electricity. I used to live in a place where my electricity came from coal, so I was more concerned then. I now live in a place where my electricity is 100% hydro, so I'm less concerned now. Similarly, if you live in a place like California it makes more sense to pay attention to water use, and if you live in a place like Vancouver you probably should focus on other things.
Focusing on the big picture can be useful when you want to consider large-scale action like voting or protest, but at the day-to-day scale it matters much more sense to look at the needs and risks in your own community. You can't minimize everything at the same time, and trying to do so will only make you uselessly miserable. If you want to change your daily life for the sake of the planet, take the time to figure out what lever you can pull that will make the most difference. Nobody looking at the big picture can tell you that. You need to look local.
I do appreciate an academic with a sense of humor.
