It’s always kind of been a bullshit “symptoms syndrome,” “go away shut up ‘diagnosis’” to me, which was NOT helped by there being no treatment ever offered other than “exercise and improve your mental health you’re just lazy and depressed and anxious and feeling exertion makes you more anxious (saying ‘exertion/exercise intolerance’ makes you go to hell for real) go to therapy” so like. actually seeing solid well researched evidence that no I’m not just a pathetic stupid clumsy weak person with no distress tolerance as I’ve very much internalized…. I am undone.
Going from being an introverted lurker on reddit to trying to post my own stuff here is so wild. I keep typing out a post, deleting it, then retyping because I think it’s not good enough but then I look at other posts and why am I so worried?
It’s like I’m at a fancy Italian restaurant and keep glancing around the room to see which hand people use to pick up the forks. But then I realize that everyone is shoveling spaghetti into their mouths using their bare hands and I’m like ah okay so I’m clearly overthinking this
This restaurant is absolute chaos and I’m giving it 5 stars
I would climb down there like a lizard and the magma wouldn’t hurt me
That’s not lava, sorry. This isn’t in Þingvellir, this is a display at the earthquake exhibition in Hveragerði. That’s a line of plastic lights in a crack that opened up during the 2008 earthquake. It’s in a shopping center. This is what it looks like from another angle
The fault in Þingvellir looks like this
The fault at Sandvík is closer together and looks like this
There isn’t any lava visible from the surface continental divides currently but when there was a fissure eruption nearby Sandvík a few years ago at Fagradalsfjall, it looked like this
He said he burned his ass and got frostbite everywhere else taking this picture
It’s a difficult choice, but I think this might be my favourite Tumblr thread of all time :)
The Fagradalsfjall area is currently in it’s 3rd installment of eruption, 1st was March 19th - September 18th, 2021. 2nd installment was August 3rd - August 21st 2022. The 3rd eruption started July 10th 2023 and is currently spewing. Before this round started, the Reykjanes area hadn’t erupted in 800 years, while the Fagradals area it self (which is on Reykjanes) hadn’t erupted in 6000 years. I saw the 1st eruption. It was fucking cool
I slept in and just woke up, so here’s what I’ve been able to figure out while sipping coffee:
Twitter has officially rebranded to X just a day or two after the move was announced.
The official branding is that a tweet is now called “an X”, for which there are too many jokes to make.
The official account is still @twitter because someone else owns @X and they didn’t reclaim the username first.
The logo is 𝕏 which is the Unicode character Unicode U+1D54F so the logo cannot be copyrighted and it is highly likely that it cannot be protected as a trademark.
Outside the visual logo, the trademark for the use of the name “X” in social media is held by Meta/Facebook, while the trademark for “X” in finance/commerce is owned by Microsoft.
The rebranding has been stopped in Japan as the term “X Japan” is trademarked by the band X JAPAN.
Elon had workers taking down the “Twitter” name from the side of the building. He did not have any permits to do this. The building owner called the cops who stopped the crew midway through so the sign just says “er”.
He still plans to call his streaming and media hosting branch of the company as “Xvideo”. Nobody tell him.
This man wants you to give him control over all of your financial information.
not that i didn’t want to believe you op, but i had to check that er thing out for myself, bc that just seemed too cartoonishly stupid to be real
much respect to musicians who can just make a song sound so so evil. it’s the musical equivalent of baking something with love except instead of love it’s malice and you can taste it in every bite except instead of tastes and bites you hear it and you get scared
We gotta leave AO3 alone until it throws off the attack. Go lose yourself in a very clear and entirely sensible online story for a bit. It is also free (this is a true statement, you don’t have to pay for it) and will distract you from the blorbos you can’t read about now (this is mostly true, as it will multiply your blorbos).
(It’d tell you not to stay up late reading it but if you’re missing AO3 then it’s too late for that.)
You should click the link then. Like you say, you’re not in the headspace for something new, so there’s no risk. Maybe the page is pretty. You can click it and close it.
Hello friends please take a look at this fantastic piece of original sci-fi fiction about a totally normal and functional spaceship. I am 23 chapters in and OBSESSED. It is literally so hard to put down. If you have a love/hate relationship with Murphy’s Law and find yourself curious about all the quirks of deep space travel do yourself a favour and follow the link above.
