There is something hiding in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch...

"Just as I thought we would lose the fight, I suddenly started to rise without effort. A current from below started to buoy me upwards, and caught a glimpse of a mouth wider than a door lurching up towards me. I became so afraid that my whole body went numb and for a few brief seconds it felt as if I was watching the whole scene from outside my own body. I noted with detached horror that the shark's rubbery mouth had already reached my waist, but to Adam's credit he kept a grip on me and took advantage of the shark's upward momentum to pull me the rest of the way before that grotesque yawning mouth could snap shut around me."

love TGP really excited to see where it goes <33 esp samjohn so fucked up so delicious. i love wincest + ur gen fics

thank you!! :)

one of the many tragedies of spn is that we only got the barely glimpse of the dynamics between sam and john. that's john precious beloved baby boy! that's the monster he may have to one day kill! why won't he just shup up and sit down and obey like his brother? god, john is so proud of his son who refuses to shut up and sit down and obey, and it pulls a reluctant level of respect from him that dean doesn't

and MAN if that doesn't fuck dean up too. because sam is always causing problems by not listening. they're always fighting, someone's always mad, and he hates playing peacemaker and he hates having to get between them physically to stop the fights before someone gets bruised and why doesn't sam understand that listening to dad is a good thing? that listening to dad keeps them safe?

every time sam doesn't listen to dad, dean sees it as sam putting himself in danger, the thing dean hates most in the world, and the thing most likely to make him fly off the handle

john did his best to squash the autonomy out of both his sons and failed with sam consistently. sam's stubborness and pride and refusal to give in - these traits that vexed his father for so long - were in the end the things that saved him. he refused to give in to azazel and lucifer both because that's who sam is - someone who doesn't give in to people, whether it be his father, the king of hell, or the devil himself

another tragedy of spn is how dean took up that mantle of control after hell and succeeded where john had failed

Tumblr pet peeve 27: the people who apparently spend so little time in reality that they think the main appeal of fake leather is that it's vegan and not that real leather is fucking expensive. Seriously when's the last time you bought something made out of real leather? That shit costs so much money.

What do you do with your toxic wastepacks?

Step 1. Get your constructoids to build a big freezer near a steam geyser for continual power

Step 2. Wring your money's worth of chemfuel out of your boomalope and smoosh the wastepacks in transport pods

Step 3. Continue humanity's trend of polluting every ocean we come into contact with

Step 4. Oh no! Anyway, do you guys from The Green Clam Gobar want some of this nice yayo I found? Oooooh, it's so nice! Goodwill isn't an issue, and toxic waste is dealt with! 👍

What's up with all the plastic in the ocean?

Let me talk about one really sad thing - and one where the information out there is just really bad.

A lot of you will have heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. And about how you should not use plastic straws and have to recycle all the plastic you use and what not, because it is killing all the poor animals and what not.

I am here to tell you... it's all a lie. All of it.

Now, let me first say: Recycling is a scam. Because of capitalism. Yes, we could recycle at least some of the plastics we use (not all of them), but for the most part we do not do that, because it just is too expensive. So most of the plastics you and I put into recycling end up in landfills... Most likely in landfills in poor nations, where the stuff gets shipped off to. We do not really do anything good with the recycling stuff. Because making new plastics is cheaper. Simple as that. Capitalism prefers the cheap stuff. So, recycling is not happening.

But also... that plastic usually is still not the biggest problem when it comes to plastic in the ocean. Like, that landfil plastics are a problem and they should not be there. But they are not the reason for the plastics in the ocean.

Now, let me first talk microplastics, even though they are off course not that much of the plastic in volume. But where does that microplastic come from? Media wants you to believe that it is just not-recycled plastic that has somehow been made small by the ocean... But that's not it.

Instead most of the microplastics come from cars. It is abrasions from tires and breaks, that collect on the roads and then through rain get slowly transported into the oceans.

But as you can see from the graph above: Most plastics in the oceans are actually macroplastics and megaplastics. So big pieces of plastic. So, what are those?

Mostly... Fishing waste. So, fishing nets, fishing lines and stuff like that, that after use get just thrown into the oceans. This is because the fishing industry is among the industries least regulated - for the simple fact that most industries that work off the ocean are hard to regulate. And of course in the end people are very unintrested in regulating such industries.

Which is also the reason for other stuff. Overfishing. Bycatch. All those things. It just is not properly regulated - and even what regulations are there are hard to enforce because... well, who is gonna enforce them out there.

So... really. To save the oceans... we gotta eat less fish.

Hey I just learned about the Sargasso Sea and I'm enchanted by it!

oh man yeah it feels like an absolute miracle of the sea honestly. every time i think of it i go a little more insane knowing that something like that exists. beautiful clear and calm water surrounded by four currents. home to the a hunch of surface-dwelling sargassum. place where a good portion of the northern hemisphere's eels fuck. possibly hideaway for baby turtles. one of the great joys on earth is knowing this place exists.
