"Stop being funnier than me on my own post" is one of my favorite healthy tumblrisms, along with things like "hang on lemme look that up...yeah this is funny" and explicit tone indicators (positive). Like yeah let's build a world where we playfully format healthy interactions. You made a post and you wanted to be the star but damn, you've really gotta hand it to this other person for their really funny addition, so here's the internet equivalent of giving someone a friendly punch on the shoulder while making sure they know they got a good grade in social interaction
"You're going to miss out on all this media because of the strikes!"
Y'all shot a whole-ass Batgirl movie and refused to release it so you could get a tax break, constantly cancel popular shows after a single season, and remove stuff from streaming while refusing to sell it on physical media, so maybe shut the fuck up.
I hope every major studio and streaming service crashes, all your executives end up permanently unemployed, and that all we're left with is indie media produced by people who can see beyond the dollar sign.
This!!!! No one thinks twice about supporting the strike. Of course we will. We've got nothing to gain as an audience with or without it. We have our own grievances with the studios. Before the strike, we were barely getting media and barely hanging onto what little we've gotten recently. Then they started taking shit away?! Now they want us to turn against the writers and actors? Lol goodbye!

There's an essay I've never written about the relationship between superheroes in American Comics and costumed performers in American Circuses of the same period, and how the comics characters were the circus performers, and I will probably never get around to writing it. But then I see photos like this and wish I'd written it 30 years ago.
This shows an example of a male who in some species is even smaller in comparison and the bright colors on the female have the same purpose as airport runway lights so he knows where to land :)
I spent so much of my life romanticizing the Great and Powerful Enormity of the Sea, reading about the salt and the sweat of the sailors straining to haul the sails or anchor while dreading the monsters in the cold, icy deep fathoms below…and now you tell me that a fathom is only 6 feet deep -
For every fathom you descend into the ocean the pressure around you increases. By five fathoms down you’re experiencing two atmospheres of pressure. At about ten fathoms, a human can no longer survive on their own, and must have supplemental oxygen to continue their descent. With specialized diving gear, we can go to perhaps 60 fathoms under our own power. By that depth, even the clearest waters are dark. Perhaps one percent of visible light remains, mostly in the blue range. The water is blues and greys around you, shadowy like the last minutes before nightfall. The water below is darker still, impenetrable. But life still lurks beneath you, in the untold fathoms of the darkest sea, in an environment so hostile even our machines struggle to reach them.
