I'm Posting This Link Mostly For Myself, So I Can Find It Again When I Go Looking, But If Other People

There are 100-200 feral hogs loose in the state of New Hampshire. They are considered to be "Running at large", and are escapees from the Blue Mountain Forest association. They mainly reside in forests in the Connetecut river valley, where they wait, amassing their numbers, waiting for a chance to strike. The South and California have already fallen. We are next.

What do you think happens first: the last human dies, or the last machine gives out?

so i hear tumblr's dying and this moby dick meme idea has lived in my head for literal years...

meanwhile on Twitter

you could make the argument that it’s foolish that everyone in the world should know what the Odyssey is but if you’re from a western country that literally has Greek history stolen away in your museum then well, really a child left behind.

“What came first, the chicken or the egg?”

Now a definitively answerable question: the egg. That’s how evolution works.

ok i just got this thought out of nowhere but blog divers (people who scroll through a blog and reblog things that were posted YEARS AGO) are actually a super important part of the tumblr ecosystem

With people going inactive and deactivating, a lot of classic tumblr posts and also missed gems get lost because those connections get broken. Even on my own blog I forget about posts I made until I see someone in my activity reblog one of them- which then inspires me to reblog it myself because it was a good post and I want my new followers to see

do not feel bad about diving through someone's blog and reblogging shit from years ago, it keeps dashboards alive

(and if anyone has a problem with that, they can just block you or they can delete the root post ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, two things that have absolutely no effect on the grand scheme of our lives)

…psychiatry assumes that society does not cause distress in biologically normal people, who are considered biologically normal at least in part because they are economically productive. This assumption permits the conclusion that if a person is distressed to the point of unproductivity, it is because that person—not society—is abnormal. Thus, psychiatry’s commitment to biological essentialism not only masks the role of the constructed sociopolitical environment in creating distress but depoliticizes it by characterizing that allegedly irrational distress as induced by biological abnormality.
