y'know what

The U.S. government is taking people off the street and sending them to the place in the bottom picture without charges filed, no arraignments, no due process and without notifying anyone of the people’s whereabouts.

El Salvador intends to never release anyone from CECOT.

By the way, being kidnapped and removed from your country of residence without due process and sent to a prison in a different country (not your own) is not deportation. It’s extraordinary rendition.

Humpback whales breaching: gorgeous, majestic, graceful, embodies all the strength and beauty of the ocean

Minke whales breaching: I will launch myself out of this ocean like a f***ing surface-to-air missile to seek and destroy my enemies

I remember an interview with a guy that did the camera work for nature documentaries and he said that baleen whales like these guys were the scariest things to shoot because “They’re the size of a train, they can suddenly appear out of nowhere in dark or murky water and they don’t make a goddamn sound. I was absolutely sure that one of them was going to hit me and well, ‘that’s all folks!’. Gave me a lot of perspective on how I handle myself when filming smaller animals now.”

While I was playing a game with Sark online, the sky outside turned VERY suddenly Ominous. That looks it gets when there's about to be some shit going down. I logged and booked it outside to close the birds in for safety, and I didn't even make it all the way out to the back of the barn for the first pen door before I heard it.

This loud, strange roar in the distance. Building and definitely coming closer.

I closed up the first pen and as I exited to head for the one with Bug in it, the trees in the distance started swaying heavily. The birds were just standing there confused, until I started calling for round up, and then they immediately ran for the coop. Bug waited until I got there, but she bolted with me to the coop, and got inside ahead of me. I couldn't bring her with me right then, and the wind was howling and the rain hit like a brick wall, instantly soaking me as I closed their coop.

The rain was coming down so hard that I couldn't see much as I ran for the last coop. Aurora and Eris and Stella couldn't see either, and were panicking in the wrong side of the pen. They heard and saw me, though, and ran with me around the barrier that had confused them, and came with me to safety inside the coop. I stood with them and watched the rain come down in buckets for a minute before I got out and closed their door.

I dashed to the barn, checked on everyone in there, and closed it up. I wanted to get Bug and bring her in the house, but the rain was coming down hard and the wind was blowing like crazy. I thought for sure she would freak out. I went anyway, thinking maybe I would just ride it out in her coop so she wouldn't be scared, but when I got there she was waiting up on the shelf for me. I picked her up and tucked her close to me, and she held on as I RAN through the yard back to the house. She's never sat so pretty in her life, but she didn't give me any hassle at all.

I am... so insanely glad that I work with my birds daily. That they see me and hear me and follow directions, and follow me if I need to move them in a hurry, even when they're scared and confused. Especially when they're scared and confused.

The storm was intense, but thankfully short lived, and while the rain is still going it doesn't feel like it's trying to murder anyone anymore.

So happy wet beast Sunday!

It turns out that the lich the adventurers had been hired to slay had never actually killed anyone before until the impulsive paladin of the group swung first. Now, as the healer tries to revive them, the rest have to calm the ancient undead mage down from what is undeniably a panic attack.

Here's the thing. A lot of people think of Kelda Wineberry as a joke. Because she is a bard, and her criteria for falling into the sheets with someone are pretty much consenting and moving and that's it, and also she's a halfling wearing a human hat with a huge ostrich plume, which means that the hat, at first glance, appears roughly the size of Kelda and has usually slid down over her eyes. I gotta admit that I've sometimes underestimated Kelda.

Never again.

Because she not only managed to improvise an anti-panic ritual on the fly, she figured out a way to calm down someone who doesn't breathe. Like. Where do you go with that? Take a deep breath in—nope, he doesn't. Let out your breath slowly—he can't. So she engaged his concentration by asking him to list a bunch of things starting with the same letter, and then another list, all the time plucking gently on her lute. I honestly don't think she was spellcasting. He probably would have known, and panicked. It was just a soothing background to what she was saying.

At length, Janis—who was more than a little singed by whatever Dread Isithamar fired into their chest—coughed, and moaned, and then passed out again.

"You see?" Kelda said. "They're going to be okay. Honestly we've had to do this before. They worship the Lady of Dawn, not the Lady of Standing Back And Making Wise Choices. How about you? How did you get—well—in this state, without a blood ritual?"

"I." Isitiamar can't blink, or I think he might have. "Well, the thing is, I really, really like research."

"Yeah?"

"So when my time came to die—my order gets taken personally by the Lady of Sunset, you know—I didn't turn around to see who it was, I just said, 'Piss off, I'm working.'"

"And?"

"And apparently she sort of—did. Now, you people were talking about a scroll? And an eclipse that's going to end the world? You have to understand, we can't have that. My library is in the world!"

“Rayban charity glasses event” is a scam don’t click any link in a post that says that.

Old tumblr users remember this scam back when it first went out.

Also no, this isn’t a joke. This phishing scam is 100% running its course again so watch out for your mutuals long abandoned accounts suddenly posting it. Please make everyone aware of it since most users here are newbies who have not seen it before!

I don't even have a DVD collection and this is stressing me the fuck out. The personal collections, library collections, sheer amount of archived media that was apparently always going to "rot" decades sooner than expected, the amount of industrial waste it represents and the amount of collective money spent by people who though they would own these films for life is giving me existential horror.

@nehirose

Oh nooooo

It's like we all collectively forgot as a society that friendship and just connection in general takes effort. Even if you meet someone you immediately click with, it takes hanging out about 20 times (!) to become friends. And guess what, some of those 20 meetings might be awkward or unimpressive.

We all want to reap the benefits (having a friend circle, having a partner, getting married) without doing the work (going to events, interacting with people, learning to handle conflict maturely, dating). Myself included. If I could, I'd never leave the house or go on another mediocre date again... except, that's part of the process.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, the cure to the loneliness epidemic is touching some grass and building tolerance for tedious in-person interactions.
