Just to clarify in case this isn’t clear- this is an underwater sign. Someone put on scuba gear to put up a sign underwater because people kept diving into this cave, getting lost and dying.

Oh, and just to make it clear HOW dangerous this cave is? Cave diving is THE most dangerous hobby you can have. A guy who ran a shop that sold cave diving gear would say how regularly people just didn’t come back. This cave is too dangerous FOR THOSE PEOPLE.

this is by far my favorite safety/warning sign btw. they really went off with this one

That is pretty much representative of all UK governments.

I love the concept of Tooks. "Everybody in the Shire is very very businesslike and respectable and has no use for adventures except for this one entire family of mad lads who also run the municipal government"

This is a real thing. No, it’s not deflating. It’s a bouncy castle meant to look like the titanic.

Cory Lee has visited 40 countries on seven continents, and yet the Georgia native has never explored Cloudland Canyon State Park, about 20 minutes from his home. His wheelchair was tough enough for the trip to Antarctica but not for the rugged terrain in his backyard.

Lee’s circumstances changed Friday, when Georgia’s Department of Natural Resources and the Aimee Copeland Foundation unveiled a fleet of all-terrain power wheelchairs for rent at 11 state parks and outdoorsy destinations, including Cloudland Canyon. The Action Trackchair models are equipped with tank-like tracks capable of traversing rocks, roots, streams and sand; clearing fallen trees; plowing through tall grass and tackling uphill climbs.

“I’ll finally be able to go on these trails for the first time in my life,” said the 32-year-old travel blogger, who shares his adventures on Curb Free with Cory Lee. “The trails are off-limits in my regular wheelchair.”

Georgia is one of the latest states to provide the Land Rover of wheelchairs to outdoor enthusiasts with mobility issues.

In 2017, Colorado Parks and Wildlife launched its Staunton State Park Track-Chair Program, which provides free adaptive equipment, though guests must pay the $10 entrance fee. Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources has placed off-road track chairs in nearly a dozen parks, including Muskegon State Park. In 2018, Lee reserved a chair at the park that boasts three miles of shoreline on Lake Michigan and Muskegon Lake. “It allowed me to have so much independence on the sand,” he said.

Mobility FTW

People need to understand the difference between actual intrusive thoughts and ‘l‘appel du vide’

Honestly while I 100% agree with the pushback against the misuse/misunderstanding/watering-down of "intrusive thoughts" as a term, i think on some level it's also misrepresentative when the only kind of counter to "lol I had an intrusive thought to jump on the table" is stuff like "real intrusive thoughts are terrible and involve stuff that's gory or morally repulsive like 'you should stab your mom' and are things no one would ever ever talk about"

Cause like, gory and morally repulsive thoughts like that are definitely examples of forms intrusive thoughts can take, but a lot of times it seems like the implication/vocal consensus of a lot of these counter-posts is that intrusive thoughts are things that are all Objectively horrible/terrifying/gruesome/immoral, when that's not actually the case

Like, the core thing about intrusive thoughts is that they're thoughts/images/"urges"/ideas that are unwanted and distressing to the person having them, and are generally repetitive/reoccurring. So while repeated thoughts of "what if I want to kill my mom" that cause distress to the person having them are definitely intrusive thoughts, basically any theme of worry can be the focus of intrusive thoughts, as long as the thoughts are distressing.

Stuff like "what if I don't actually believe in God", "what if I'm not actually an atheist", "what if I'm actually gay/straight/bi/etc", "what if i left the oven on", "what if I'm living in an alternate reality", "what if I forgot to submit my assignments", etc are all themes that intrusive thoughts can have that aren't Objectively Horrible or Immoral, and many are stuff that a lot of people wouldn't consider an Issue. But like even stuff like "I keep counting things in my head" can be an example of intrusive thoughts if the counting is causing distress.

And like idk it just seems like boiling down intrusive thoughts to "horrible things you could never talk about to other people and that fundamentally go against your own morality" does a disservice to a lot of people with different "themes", and can lead to dismissing the distress of those who have more "speakable" intrusive thoughts, or with these people not recognizing their thoughts as intrusive ones bc it doesn't fit what they've seen talked about.

Plus like off the top of my head, I've personally seen the idea that intrusive thoughts are always about things that are Morally Repugnant to the person experiencing them end up in someone being dog-piled on a reddit thread, when a poster (a straight guy) talked about having intrusive thoughts that he was "actually gay" and was met with people accusing him of being homophobic for "being disgusted by the idea of gay people" (and also with people telling him he was repressed and in the closet, which is also definitely not something that would help with said intrusive thoughts)

And just I don't super know where I'm going with this or how to wrap it up nicely but I think in the pushback against the misuse and infantilization of "intrusive thoughts" I think there should also be effort to make sure that we're not just replacing one misunderstanding with another

The only way fucking Musk is acceptable is if after a certain mount of hard pounding he cracks in half and drops money like a piñata.

Yo dawg, I heard you like rats..

No but5 like, this is extra funny because people used to write about WOMEN like that all the time in newspapers, and still do sometimes. This is in fine journalistic tradition except... dudes.

Ok, so I was reading this news story:

So far so normal, right? But then:

Like what. And then:

Like, I think Alaska State Trooper Ken Marsh wants to be a romance novelist.

This is why Raistlin/Dalamar is my OTP.

I think the message of Howl’s Moving Castle is that in order to maintain a successful relationship with some kind of fucked up wizard, you must find it in yourself to also be some kind of fucked up wizard.

General Character Asks

Hi! I’ve been working on this for a while, and I’m happy to finally present character asks that aren't overwhelmingly modern! It can be used for any setting, though—the point is to accommodate people who write medieval fantasy, wuxia, sci-fi, historical fiction, anything broader than “what do they order at Starbucks.” This is in part based on how I construct characters, in part on what I want to know about my friends’ characters. It is deliberately worded to accommodate fictional and non-fictional settings.

What is their relationship with their family?

What is their culture?

What is their relationship with their culture?

What experiences shaped who they are?

What is their relationship with society?

How do they dress?

How do they talk?

What do they regret?

What are their fond memories?

What are they trying to achieve?

What is their relationship with romance/sexuality?

How do they think of their childhood?

What kind of friends do they have?

What do they do? (Occupation, quest, etc.)

What do they want?

What distinguishes them from the other characters in the setting, if anything?

Who do they look up to?

Who do they hate?

Does their appearance change throughout the story?

What do they look they?

So... was someone supposed to tell me the music video to Backstreet’s Back was like someone put Phantom of the Opera, Rocky Horror and Monster Mash in a blender? Or was I supposed to find out by myself?

Give me a fanfiction trope and I’ll grade it:

A: Love it. Spend my time combing AO3 for it.

B: Like it. Not one of my bigger cravings, but it can scratch a certain itch if I’m in the right mood.

C: Neutral. A good author might be able to sell it, but a bad one will kill it deader than dead.

D: Not my favorite. I avoid it if I can, but it won’t necessarily put me off reading something.

F: Hate it. Will immediately make me nope out of a fic.

Add ‘do not scan this’ on the back just to fuck with them further,

i want a shirt that has a QR code on it for some kind of horrible malware so that if anyone ever tries to film me in public their phone will automatically scan the code and be reduced to a functionless brick
