Lately I keep thinking about environmental campaigns since roughly my childhood had to play up rainforests as these bright, shiny, heavenly fairy-tale utopias in order to get people to care about them. But in older media they're like dark, terrifying, brutal primordial deathworlds, the "SAVAGE UNTAMED JUNGLE!!!!" to the point that we still call the same exact thing a "jungle" in media if it's supposed to be more dangerous and exciting, even though there's really no technical distinction there. The reality though is that both are simultaneously true. I keep going on this rant lately but everything scary, painful, disturbing or dangerous about nature IS beautiful and wonderful and awesome!!! It fucking sucks that the majority of people only want to care about nature if they can comfortably hike it in their jorts and their crocs and only care about animal species if they're pretty to look at, useful or cuddle-able. "Rainforests" are absolutely kickass brutal primordial deathworlds. They're beautiful and precious and fantastic but they are also places where leeches will rain down on you from the trees until all your clothes are bloodstained and stinging ants the size of your thumb will make you feel like you're burning to death with a sting and one scratch from that adorable little monkey can torture you to death with sepsis. You'd never even guess, from how rainforests are portrayed on TV, that the thick canopy means they're actually dark as shit 24/7.

We get told piranhas actually aren't scary and that's true! The dreaded candiru is also so unlikely to attack humans we still don't know for sure if it really happens! But you don't hear about the Amazonian catfish, the size of a piranha, and incidentally also sometimes called a "candiru catfish," that convergently evolved with a cookie cutter shark and comes out at night to bite big round scoops of flesh from unsuspecting thighs:

I would love to meet all of these terrible awful things and I want them all to thrive forever and ever. Please love nasty things. We are nasty things. We're the nasty things planet and it rocks.

In the first mission of Slipsand Galaxy in Super Mario Galaxy 2, Mario or Luigi must slide down an extremely long slope. After they begin sliding, cylindrical Thwomp-like enemies called Rhomps appear from behind and attempt to squash them by rolling over them.

If the player is playing as Luigi and performs an extremely precise long jump just as Luigi is about to be rolled over by a Rhomp, Luigi will gain immense speed that will catapult him into the air as seen in the footage.

Unfortunately, there is no way for the player to slow down Luigi at that point, so that after flying far enough to exit the regular gameplay area, Luigi will leave the boundaries of the galaxy, and die.

Had a dream I saw blog on tumblr with "irradiated blogs DNI" in the description and when I looked through their posts I discovered there were some blogs with "uranium code" in their css that would expose you to literal radiation if you looked at them.

Haircut that removes your tits

BRUH a dude I know from work came in for the first time in months and I thought he looked different but couldn't figure out why?? So I asked if he'd changed his hair and he was like "BITCH I GOT TOP SURGERY"

I kill you

Keep in mind please, all these journalists in gaza and Palestinians who communicate what's happening in Gaza are communicating in English for a reason, accessibility. Us arab speaking and arabs and people in the Mena region understand all of it, know all of it, grew up with all of it unfolding, we know... They need you to know, they are speaking your language and accessible language for you to hear and share. It's easy to communicate through numbers and dehumanising reporting but storytelling and reporting is important and appealing to you through your language is another privilege you have yet to acknowledge.

Comfort Food

Something I love about these two scenes is that it shows just how much influence his mother has on Luigi. If he takes after anyone when it came to his parents, then his mother is whom he takes after the most. He grew up around her kindness and learning by example, grew up around their mother’s amazing cooking and knows how comforting it can be.

To Luigi, when their mom brings them food, food means comfort, food means love and warmth. Food is their mothers way of showing them her love and her affection. So when Mario leaves the table, obviously very upset and frustrated. Luigi brings him food, he takes that positive influence from his mother and extends that to Mario.

He’s not only bringing Mario food to make sure Mario eats (that’s part of it cuz Luigi is a nurturer at heart) but also because he’s trying to comfort his big brother and make him feel better, and show him that he cares him and that he’s there for him. Which further shows how much Luigi loves Mario and how he does his best to comfort his brother anyway he can.
