hi, i wanted to ask what you think about those japanese zoo's training exercises were someone dresses up as an animal and pretends to have escaped and all that, are they effective? what do U.S zoo's do to train for things like that?

They look silly, but they're a real emergency drill! They force people to think through how they'd problem-solve in real time and in the physical space, which is a very different experience than just thinking about it.

There's no consistent requirement for emergency drills in the US federal regulations for zoos, but there is a contingency planning one. Facilities licensed by the USDA have to identify and create plans for addressing likely emergencies they may have to deal with, which is everything from like natural disasters to animal escapes. That's all done as paperwork and provided to the government to prove they've done it.

BUT. That doesn't mean that zoos and other animal facilities don't do more planning on their own. Some of the third-party accreditations (it might be all of them but I don't have the docs in front of me to confirm) require regular drills for all types of emergency scenarios.

Now there's a slight problem there - a real escape drill, run fully on grounds with real people and stand-in animal, interferes with the daily operations of the zoo. You might not have to physically shut all the guests into buildings during a practice leopard escape, but you do need them to not get in the way, and you don't want to scare people who think a drill is real, etc. So there's an alternate option.

US zoos frequently run emergency management drills as TTRGPs!

Like, they use a printed scale map of the zoo and roll dice to randomize the situation. This is absolutely recommended as a strategy by the Zoo and Aquariums All Hazard Partnership: there's a whole webpage about it, including instructions for the Drill Master.

There are in-person drills, of course, because you have to practice dealing with these problems in meatspace. But a lot of them are done tabletop! I cannot express the extent of my mirth when I first encountered this in the wild at a conference about a decade ago, when the idea was really taking off. It was Very Serious Zoo People on a Very Serious Topic about preventing Really Bad Things from happening... and then suddenly there was a d20 on the screen.

I hate arriving to fandoms late cause I'm sitting over here dusting off posts from 2022 and screaming about them 2.5 years later feeling like this

shang qinghua who becomes uncannily good friends with everyone he meets. everyone thinks it’s super bizarre because this guy is always so anxious and overworked, not to mention secretive as fuck, and yet he’s super close to all the peak lords and shares inside jokes w them all. he hangs out with each and every single one of them all the time and as it turns out he has a shit ton in common with them and they all think he’s funny as fuck. and it’s not only the peak lords but anyone else he meets too!!!! he even gets along w people like liu qingge and luo binghe!!!! people are absolutely stumped by this guy and think he has ulterior motives because no one is this charismatic and easy to get along with without even trying. there’s no way he actually has this much in common with everyone he meets

in reality shang qinghua is an author who transmigrated into his own novel and is super fucking stoked to be able to get to know all his characters on a personal level. he loves interacting w everyone and of course they’re all going to have something in common w him when he created them all and they all carry a part of him within themselves. he’s having the absolute time of his life playing with his ocs

what if I told you Mikage is about going against your nature to fit into a toxic ideal which you ultimately fail to perform due to your aforementioned nature, for a system that never was going to award you any personhood to begin with.

Bruce Wayne is canonically a very handsome man (he is called a "pretty boy" and he is in his 40s, for fuck's sake), and he is pretty famous as a rich philanthropist who doesn't want to leave his awful cursed crime infested city. So, there must be a ton of people thirsting over him on the internet. Fancams, edits, fanfics and imagines ("kidnapped with Bruce Wayne 😍 by a Gotham rogue"), the whole charade!

And anytime one of the batkids stumbles on a thirst post, they have the most dramatic disgusted reaction, loudly gagging, before sending the link to the batkids chat, because if they must suffer, then they should all suffer. Clicking on a link in this groupchat is like playing russian roulette, and getting rickrolled is a good ending.

I’D LIKE TO TAKE A MOMENT TO POINT OUT THAT HE HAS NOT BEEN CONVICTED

The meme culture of internet has jumped on the bandwagon and I’m concerned that by making him the face of all the memes online we are creating a sense of inevitability that he must LEGALLY be guilty, because if not then why would we all be talking about him? The crime is ALLEGED and until ANYONE is convicted we deny, deny, deny

detective au where basira is a sleep deprived, weathered, beaten down PI who spends her days so heavily stressed that a good hug might physically snap her in half and jon is her (comparatively) plucky assistant who is psychic and keeps trying to tell her that he knows who the killer is but she just says "shhh quiet jonathan can't you see the weight of the world is on my shoulders" before staying up for another three days and accidentally getting lost in the london sewers looking for clues
