I haven’t changed my url in 7 years but I just noticed I had this URL saved and since I’m in my BBC merlin hyperfixation era, here I am.

joking that an adult character who acts childish doesnt know what sex is will never be as funny as saying the same thing about a big tough murderman videogame protag

“papyrus doesnt know what sex is” is nothing “solid snake doesnt know what sex is” is an instant killer

How to post anonymously on AO3

So let’s say you wrote a fic you don’t want to be associated with. Perhaps it’s a secret exchange, or it’s a kink you find a bit embarrassing, or you wrote about a touchy subject liable to get you harassed out of your fandom.

Well wouldn’t you know, I have just the solution for you, my dear fellow!

When you post or edit a fic, you might have noticed this bit:

image

The relevant part here is “Post to Collection/Challenges”

Add your fic to the “Anonymous” collection.

image

And that’s it! So long as your fic is in that collection, it will be listed as being written “By Anonymous.” No one will be able to go to your ao3 account from this fic.

image

If at any point of time you want to de-anon your fic, simply go back to your fic settings and remove it from the anonymous collection.

There you go! Happy writing!

The debate over brutalist archtecture is always a fun ride because the “for” and “against” sides each think they’re having a completely different conversation. The pro-brutalism folks are out there talking about theories of functional aesthetics and the human condition, and the anti-brutalism folks are like “please stop putting buildings with flat concrete roofs in high-precipitation regions”.

periodically i get so angry and sad because there are so many rare species, new farming techniques, and revolutionary edible plants that desperately need someone to study them and tell others about them,

but instead, we have people whose job it is to run twitter accounts for fast food brands and design advertisements

Science is trying to develop new ways to industrialize farming because otherwise it’s doubtful that we will be able to feed the world population in the future.

Not because current techniques don’t work, but because at the current rates new people are going into agriculture, there won’t be enough farmers.

And the smartest, most knowledgeable guy i know is a farmer. All of the new research that scientists are desperately trying to get policymakers to acknowledge? This guy has known about that stuff for ages and is incorporating it into his practices. Promoting mycorrhizal networks, encouraging beneficial insects, no-till farming methods, using plants toxic to pathogens to eliminate them. He basically planted his own little forest and has collected most of our native tree species, and has the most foolproof tree-transplanting methods. Sure, he’s exhausted and broke, but who isn’t

Living in close relationship with the earth and its plants and creatures can develop a human into a gold mine of ecological wisdom and technological innovation. There’s a reason it’s traditional, locally practiced farming techniques that are at the cutting edge of agricultural science—they came from people spending their whole lives in a ceaseless cycle of experimentation and observation.

And meanwhile I’m still struggling to even process how dramatically I expanded as a person over a single year of…devoting my brain to plants.

What I wish to put in words is how ridiculously within reach the power to transform the world for the better is. Because the world doesn’t need more sophisticated expertise or more money as much as it needs more love.

I keep trying to imagine going back in time and telling myself, two years ago, “Yeah in 2 years you’ll be leading a native plant gardening/no-lawns organization, spearheading a restoration project for a keystone species that has almost no existing conservation projects for it, and growing and handing out hundreds of trees like some kind of 21st century Johnny Appleseed.”

And past!Spacey is like “Um??? What the fuck happened to?? getting my masters’ and becoming a historian??? I can’t even take care of a houseplant??? Do I still live in Kentucky? Am I in a STEM field??? WHY DO I HAVE HUNDREDS OF TREES??” And I’m just like “Well, you had a mental breakdown and lowkey experienced ego death, and then there were these bryozoans…”

YES

I’ve just started graduate studies in Ecology and there’s just….so many species of insects here (Aotearoa) that nobody has bothered to name or study. In the mountains, we have species of alpine geckos known from only a few dozen individuals. Some of them survive in avalanche territory, at below zero temperatures! We have wētā (giant grasshoppery things) that can freeze and safely defrost! Our native mantids are slowly being devoured by introduced pests and replaced by exotic mantids and hardly anyone gives a shit! WHY. However the people who do care are some of the coolest people I’ve ever met and they do incredible work.

Two years ago I was so sick (chronic fatigue) that I could hardly walk, and I learned about the existence of Mokopirirakau galaxias, a newly discovered species of alpine gecko, and it saved me. I figured that if that wee gecko could survive up in the scree fields and boulders of the Southern Alps, then I could survive too and find something worth living for. I promised myself that if I got better (and I did, for which I am so grateful) I would return to university and study ecology, and I did! Every single day I spend in nature is filled with unimaginable wonder. A couple nights ago I got to see glow-worms up close. How is everyone not losing their minds about this? Earth is beautiful! It’s incredible here! I am so full of love for life now, and I never imagined that I could feel this way. The power to change is in our hands and the key is love.

Way way back I drew a comic explaining what we really mean by ‘The Autism Spectrum’ and posted it here back when Tumblr was Huge. Then the comic really blew up!! Last year I did a remake of the comic, with some updated language, and using Mia, a character from a graphic novel I made. Figured I’d share for Autism Acceptance Month!
