Feeling like conducting a social experiment, put in the tags one or more special interests you have that are not directly modern media (tv show, book, movie, etc that came out 80 or fewer years ago)

i need people to be careful about what they are sharing about hurricane hilary because i'm seeing a lot of false information being spread. namely, i'm seeing a lot of people say that it's a level 4 hurricane. which is true. but they aren't mentioning the very important caveat that by the time it reaches california, it will have largely declined and will instead simply be a tropical storm. which is still historic for california, but it's not quite as scary for people living there as it's being made out to be. It's not going to cause major issues with infrastructure or large-scale flooding like a full-blown hurricane would. the majority of people will be, at most, mildly inconvenienced by it.
i think the response to this storm is showing a very clear difference in how we treat natural disasters that hit areas associated with wealthy white people as opposed to one's that hit larger populations of black people like lots of the southeast. it makes me fear for how funding and help might be given to california, which needs it less, and then not be available next time somewhere like georgia or louisiana really need it.
it also has the average californian so freaked out that they are taking resources and focus away from the people around them that actually might be seriously affected by this. so please, if you are in california, look out for the homeless and/or lower income people in your area. do what you can to make sure they have access to adequate shelter to protect them from the wind and rain. and that they have enough food and water to stay put until this storm passes.
also just stay off the roads as much as possible. people already drive like assholes around here and will probably be even worse during this. everything should have calmed down by tuesday at the latest.

oc x canon this oc x canon that. what about oc vs canon. insert someone into a universe specifically so they can have beef with your least favorite character.

its crazy the things that stick with you, i used to always build a tower of pimps in my minecraft worlds. just to have a little piece of achievement hunter with me no matter where i was. they were such a huge part of my childhood, and gave me a safe haven from my really poor family life. unfortunately i lost the top habit when covid happened, but they still live on with me with the stupid amount of merch i own. i wish everyone involved with new projects the best of luck, and i thank them all so very deeply for helping me in my darkest times.

I think it’s so funny how (english speaking) enstars twitter and (english speaking) enstars tumblr are completely ass backwards of each other. On enstars tumblr, you write a several paragraph dissection of your favorite blorbo with inline citations that lead back to an Internet Archive copy of the story they’re from, showing how their monologue or dialogue or actions parallel some classic Japanese fairytale or European tragicomedy or a million other sources and ideas and you get hundreds of notes, with people liking and reblogging it for months and months, applauding your choice of language and your attention to detail. On enstars twitter you say some shit like “TSUKASA SUOU IS A STINKY BABY BOY!!!” and you get 2 thousand likes 400 retweets 57 quote retweets ratioed twice blows up for 36 hours and then is never talked about again.
