#the reblog crisis

Okay so musky bought Twitter, so we can probably expect some new tumblr people to crop up. I’d just like to say some words.
Please use the app as it is supposed to be used. Know that the algorithm here does not exist like other sites. This means that you create or follow the content you want to see, you share the content you want others to see. No one will be stalking your likes even if you have them public. Reblogs are the way to go. If you feel awkward reblogging, get used to it or go somewhere else. Reblogs are ALWAYS appreciated unless otherwise explicitly stated.
Also. You may not be used to this, but tumblr blogs are so fun and super customizable. You are highly encouraged to do this, because most tumblr users will block blank blogs / not-customized blogs on sight. Have fun getting to know the freedom of having a whole website to customize for yourself! Or 100! Side blogs are fun for that too!
Or you can just leave the theme as is and just have a different pfp / header just like anywhere else. No one will judge you.
TLDR; reblog posts you like, customize your blog, interact with the communities you’re entering. Otherwise, you may find that you’ll be blocked seemingly at random.
If you have any questions about how anything works, ask!!! If no one else is gonna answer, I will 🤷 welcome to tumblr

Can we boost this one until it reaches the Oklahoma City Tumblrites? This seems like something this website could rally and solve. Help save all this genetic information? I messaged them to offer to consult with the entymology lab near mine to see if they could store the bugs with us, but they are VERY far away and would have to drive long distance to us.
UPDATE: Based on people's stories in the comments, the guy behind the project is a misogynist wad who has burnt every bridge in the city, and that's why no one will help him. I understand everyone who does not want to help him, but I'm still not sure what to do about the bugs because I hate to give a dumpster fire of a science man a pass to get places in life without being made to character develop, but he also seems to be in charge of resources that if lost, would be a loss to an entire field and not just him. :/

I feel like a lot of Duolingo discourse should acknowledge that the reason that they have basically every national European language on there is not because of a “European bias” but because of refugees. A huge number of refugees in Europe use it to learn the language of whatever country they’re moving to or living in; the site even talks about it in the “fun facts” on their waiting screen. Languages like Swedish and Norwegian aren’t there primarily for Minnesotans getting in touch with their heritage, but for African, Asian and Eastern European refugees in Sweden and Norway, and indeed they make up the majority of people using Duolingo to learn those languages. The app does need to add more non-European languages; it’s gradually doing this, as it recently added Zulu, Xhosa and Kreyòl, and its focus on indigenous languages like Navajo and Hawaiian is especially commendable. And yet there are still some pretty glaring omissions of major world languages from Asia and Africa that need to be addressed — and even “they’re edited by users” doesn’t cut it with how many people worldwide speak those whom they could seek out! But the fact that a free language app is doing its best to provide the language learning services that those actual countries routinely deny desperately-poor refugees is a good thing actually. Reserve your rage for the prioritizing of Esperanto, Klingon and High Valyrian over Bengali, Tagalog and Farsi.

I had just posted two new links of events occurring on Maui but I need to highlight a very specific situation happening right now.
Maui has another harbor, Ma'alaea, where a lot of two and three story boats are docked. They exist for tourists to go snorkeling and whale watching. They go on usually two cruises a day. Some go as far as the neighboring islands. These boats have the capacity to go to Lahaina and back probably 4 to 6 times. But instead of shipping over supplies to the local families who are trapped in West Maui, because the American Military won't let them leave and won't bring them supplies, these boats are taking tourists out to snorkel in Lahaina, right near the fire.
In contrast, people have created makeshift long boats and kanoes and piled supplies in them and are taking them out by jetskis to the private docks in Lahaina. These boats are 3 to 5 times smaller and can only bring in so many supplies at a time. People need to understand that the crisis does not stop with the fires. The humanitarian crisis starts and ends with the local people who are experiencing the parasite that is tourism. Write to the Governor of Hawai'i. Tell them that there needs to be changes to ecological laws. Tell them to crack down on tourism. Offer advice, ways to better the economy without tourism. Tell people to stop behaving like these tourists and money hungry business owners.
This video is an example of a tourist boat.
And this video is an example of what the supply boats look like.
This is a list of gofundmes and other donations to individuals who need aid!
Please if nothing else share this in every way you can.

my country is on fire. there are currently 21 active wildfires in Colombia due to a weather phenomenon known as 'El Niño', which brings high temperatures and droughts to our land. our mountains and wetlands are suffering, and the wildlife and plants are getting a lot of damage. the frailejón, one of our most important Andean wetland plants has lost a big portion of its population over the fires. these are plants that take several years to recover. the air quality has declined so much that a lot of workplaces, schools and universities have decided to send everyone home to work/study remotely tomorrow.
i'm not equipped to tell you all if there is anything that you could do to help, except maybe share information on social media and pray for this climate crisis to go away as soon as possible. if you happen to live in Colombia i assume you've heard about this, since it's the primary news this week, but if you don't know how to help they're advising us to help our wildlife by leaving water out for the fauna that finds its way to the city, and calling authorities if you spot an injured animal.
i saw one of the fires today, on the mountain behind my college. by the time i was leaving campus half the sky was covered in smoke. we all just stood and watched the flames from below, hoping they'd end soon. climate change and global warming is real, guys. it's something we should be loud about, to advocate for our environment, even if we can't solve it on our own.

for enjoyers of rome and comics:
Les Aigles de Rome (The Eagles of Rome) by Enrico Marini is set in first century CE Rome and it’s a fucking visual and narrative delight. It’s like taking a bite of a delicious meal, the story arc and interpersonal character drama combined with the density of life in the backgrounds makes each page a fantastic time.
Tumblr media
Dead Romans by Fred Kennedy & Nick Marinkovich. Also set in the early Roman Empire! My feelings for this one are a little more complicated, but it there’s a sort of Hollywood movie appeal to the plot, and the illustrative work of the comic is stunning, a visual feast for the eyes and worth checking out for that alone.
Tumblr media
Cléopâtre, la reine fatale by Thierry Gloris & Joël Mouclier. Dramatic spectacle, drama, delicious visuals, and I'm kind of obsessed with the visual tone of it. The character interactions and snapshot glimpses into the interlocking relationships everyone has are honestly a high point for me with this one.

MOROCCO EARTHQUAKE
September 9 at 11:11 PM, in Marrakech, more than 2,000 people died in Moroccos’s deadliest earthquake in more than 60 years.
The magnitude 6.8 earthquake struck at a depth of nearly 26km. This earthquake destroyed multiple houses leaving many people homeless. Marrakesh’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is reported to have been badly affected as well.
This is why I'm asking anyone who can to donate and help the survivors who are sleeping in the streets. This is the link to the Islamic Relief non-profit organisation. You can also check their website for more information.
Even 1 euro can be helpful, please share this on your blog even if it's not pertinent to your aesthetic, people need our help.

wolfstar wips
So I'm using the @hprecfest day 12 prompt "a WIP you're following" to post a short rec list of WIPs that has been sitting in my drafts for so long now I even had to remove a fic that had been finished in the meanwhile!
Something rotten in Grimmauld Place by @plecotusauritus (8,802 words, Hamlet AU) This is a wolfstar Hamlet AU, need I say more?? I've never much cared or thought about Hamlet since I read it in school but this fic (almost) makes me want to reread Hamlet and I can't wait to see where the story goes next, I love the atmosphere this fic captures, the lovely writing style and just seeing all these characters we know so well fit into the plot of Hamlet is so, so cool!!
the oldest recipe for parsnip soup by @eyra (10.639 words, modern AU, christmas fic) Getting another fic by eyra for the holidays has been such a wonderful treat! I love the whole setting and the characters of this fic so much already, especially Sirius!! And the writing and all the descriptions are so, so beautiful, as always, highly recommend checking it out!!
Welcome to Aphrodite by @de-sire-blog & @rhabarberjunge (18.957 words, magical AU, secret identities) this is one of those fics I've read a while ago, but I keep thinking about it because I loved it so much. I don't want to give away too much of the plot, but the premise is Sirius finding a hidden, adults-only club that makes people's secret desires come true, and of course Sirius's secret desire is Remus... It's hot, it's fun, and it's incredibly angsty, I love it.
Stitched into My Skin by @squintclover (19.297 words, canon divergent AU, memory loss) I love the heartache and all the bittersweetness that comes with memory loss fics so much already, and I am so obsessed with the way it's been done in this fic. The premise of the fic is Peter casting a memory loss charm on Sirius on October 31st 1981, which leads to Remus raising Harry and randomly coming across Sirius years later, only Sirius doesn't remember him. I'm so intrigued by the first few chapters already and can't wait to see where the story goes next!
Marauder FM by @hollyivydruzy (26.402 words, modern AU, radio AU, enemies to friends to lovers) I know I've recced this fic before but I will never shut up about it because I love it, and especially this fic's Remus so, so much! It's an iconic, funny radio AU set in London, and I wish the radio shows from this fic were real because I would listen to Sirius's radio show every morning if I could. I just love the vibe of all of them working at the radio station together and the slow burn enemies to friends (to lovers) is so delicious!
The Patchwork of Us by @tracingpatternswrites (27.502 words, modern AU, enemies to lovers, co-parenting Teddy) This is such a lovely fic about Sirius and Remus navigating the difficult situation of co-parenting Teddy after Tonks dies, I love the domesticity and the enemies to lovers vibe of this fic so much!
The Picture of Sirius Black by @lynxindisguise (30.049 words, Dorian Gray AU) okay anyone who has ever seen my blog knows how much I love lynx's writing, which is why I am also obsessed with this fic, even though it's a genre I'm usually not that familiar with. It's a Dorian Gray AU, it's gothic horror but especially the first few chapters are also giving victorian romcom with murder sideplot vibes (and I mean this as the biggest compliment), this fic will make you laugh and cry and want to murder some of these characters yourself maybe.
Only Fools Are Satisfied by grumposaur (@pancakehouse) (38.353 words, modern AU, tennis AU). I really love the exploration of Sirius's family dynamics in the context of him being a professional athlete in this fic, and Remus with his tanlines and freckles is everything!!
Neon Moon by @krethes (47.698 words, modern AU, cowboy stripper Remus AU, Las Vegas) I didn't know how much I needed Remus to be a stripper and a cowboy before I read this fic, but now I do and I love him!! The whole premise of them meeting at a strip club while Sirius is out on James's bachelor party is so iconic, and the vibes of the fic are just overall excellent, highly recommend checking it out!
on another ocean by @colgatebluemintygel (118.148 words, modern AU, backpacking/interrail, friends with benefits) Where do I even start? This is an incredible fic, one of my all time faves, I've reread some of the chapters several times now and am so obsessed with this fic's Remus in his socks and sandals, driving Sirius crazy with lust. Also I will not spoil it for anyone who hasn't read it, but the scene in the budapest chapter in the club bathroom features one of my favorite Sirius moments of all time, across all universes haha.
marginalia by @spindrifters (266.547 words, magical AU, canon divergent AU - Grindelwald won, slavery AU) I'm having a hard time trying to put my love for this fic into words in just a short paragraph. This fic is so unique in its setting, and it's so beautifully written and asks & answers the question "what if Grindelwald had won?" in such an incredible, highly political and also very immersive way, if you haven't read it already I really recommend checking it out (as well as the already complete Tedromeda spinoff set in the same world, history books!!!).
Staying Strangers by 3amAndCounting (319,368 words, modern AU, texting fic, university AU). This is one of my comfort fics, I love a good texting AU, this is quite a popular fic anyways but if you haven't read it and like modern AUs & texting fics (though it isn't all just texting) go check it out!

Palestinian woman says Israeli forces raped and killed women at al-Shifa...
Please watch this. Listen to her horrific descriptions, this is actually HAPPENING to people as the world leaders continue this so they can get more money in their pockets. This should make you restless, this should make you speak out and make every action you can.
We can't let them get away with this.
