There is some pretty shocking footage out there of the Baltimore bridge collapse early this morning. I've already seen some incredibly wrong, incredibly insensitive Hot Takes about how shitty the bridge was to have fallen after being bonked by a boat, etc
Please don't be that person.
The facts will come out. Speculation is silly. In addition to loss of life, the Francis Scott Key bridge was a major arterial in that region's highway system. Its loss will be felt for years, and not just to daily commuters.
Baltimore harbor is closed. No shipping at all. This will impact supply chains in ways we cannot even assess yet.
It's pretty fucked up.

A Desperate Need for the Impossible
by twilightarc
Rating: Explicit
Relationships: Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian
Characters: Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin, Yunmeng Jiang Ensemble (Modao Zushi), Gusu Lan Disciples (Modao Zushi)
Additional Tags:
MXTX Monsterfucker Week 2024, animal hybrid, Naga Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin, Human Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Established Jiang Cheng | Jiang Wanyin/Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Porn With Plot, Thirsty Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian, Fantastical Anatomy, Top/Bottom Versatile | Switch Jiāng Chéng | Jiāng Wǎnyín/Wèi Yīng | Wèi Wúxiàn, Cultivation Mechanics, Cangse Sanren and Wei Changze Live, Location: Lotus Pier (Modao Zushi), Location: Cloud Recesses (Módào Zǔshī), Wei Ying | Wei Wuxian-centric, POV Third Person Limited, Present Tense, Work In Progress ​
Summary:
Wèi Wúxiàn's relationship with Jiāng Chéng is a bit unusual even for the Yúnmèng Jiāng Clan. Yes, humans volunteer to be paired with one of the clan, using meditative (read: very platonic) dual cultivation to enact the principles of Yin and Yang, furthering the other's cultivation—a practice considered taboo by other yāojīng clans.
But Wèi Wúxiàn has been much more than platonic with Jiāng Chéng for a few years now. It's great! Unfortunately there are a few issues cropping up and one small (big?) issue is: Wèi Wúxiàn would just really like to take it all the way between them and experience everything Jiāng Chéng has to offer. The problem is the incompatible anatomy. So how does a human like him mate with a snake yāojīng like Jiāng Chéng? ​

the only reason why ten year old girls are destroying stupidly overpriced products at sephora to make “skincare smoothies” is because they aren’t being given access to a yard with a variety of mud, sticks, rocks, puddles, and old ceramic planters to make potions in. the children yearn for the apothecary

What does he mean, "Third Wife"?
Tumblr media
Have I missed something this whole time? Are/were there other wives? That seems... unlikely given that there are no other children and Yu Ziyuan has so much sect influence, but ???? Viki subtitles plz explain??

It is safe to look at the eclipse DURING THE MOMENT OF TOTALITY ONLY- not at any other time, even if it's only a small bit peeking out. Seriously, don't go blind over this.
On April 8th, 2024, there will be a total solar eclipse visible in parts of Canada and the United States! Below is a map from planetary.org showing the path.
Tumblr media
If you are in the path of the eclipse, do not look directly at the sun, even while it's blocked by the moon– looking directly at the sun (at all, but especially during an eclipse) can cause severe damage to your eyes. You can get filters/eclipse glasses that meet the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for solar viewing, or you can easily make your own pinhole camera to view it indirectly!
Sunglasses are NOT adequate protection. Do not look at the sun through a pinhole camera, binoculars, telescopes, or any other device unless that device is equipped with a solar filter meeting the international safety standard. When in doubt, protect your eyes– indirect viewing methods are safest.

Today in obscure Doctor Who jokes:
Somebody on Twitter pointed out that the Big Finish companion Hex is canonically from the year 2021, so when he occasionally abbreviates the word "suspicious" to "sus," it's probably an Among Us reference.
The punchline is that this character was actually introduced back in 2004. It was made-up future slang that they happened to get right.
