Awh, I always thought they were so pretty and had no idea they could be harmful
Can someone transcribe this? The water is really loud.
“Hey everybody! Here we are in the southern Appalachian mountains. We have a pristine Montane stream ecosystem, as you can see all around us here. I thought I’d make an educational video this morning. It involves this practice right here [gestures to rock pile]. As our national parks and national forests fall victim to human pressure, more than ever, this is something we’re seeing more and more of. Hopefully we can make this video go viral. This stream, as you can see around us right here, is a breeding ground for North America’s largest salamander, the Eastern hellbender. They can get up to 2.5-3 feet long. It’s part of our natural heritage in the eastern United States. When people do this right here - what they consider to be art - they’re actually destroying the breeding ground for the Eastern hellbender salamander. The Eastern hellbender will use flat rocks such as these to make nesting sites in these streams. So here’s what I would like everybody to do. If you care about our Montane stream freshwater ecosystems like this one around us here, when you see something like this, this is what I recommend doing: [kicks down rock pile]. Take the rocks, throw them back into the stream. The Eastern hellbender utilizes rocks like this. It actually feels pretty good to do this! [walks to other pile] This is not actually art, okay? This is destruction of our freshwater ecosystems. So I would like to encourage everyone: when you see this [gestures to second rock pile], do this! [kicks pile] I’d like to return our streams to their natural state for the organisms that live here. Thanks, and have a good day.”
also! don’t do this on beaches! https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newyorker.com/culture/rabbit-holes/people-are-stacking-too-many-stones/amp

villains are hard to design. making them ugly is dangerous, depending on what traits you choose to frame as monstrous or undesirable, you could very well end up saying something fatphobic, racist, anti-semitic, etc
but if you make a hot villain then people will get thirsty and demand redemptions and refuse to acknowledge their evil actions, no matter how despicable
Solution: Full body armor and masks. You don’t see people shipping themselves with Sauron!
…………..you think?
…………..don’t look up Sauron on AO3
Nothing fails to crack me up like this post - the vain hope that somewhere out there is some awful nasty thing that there is not also a person whose kink that is, the idea that covering something up won’t make people obsessed with finding out what it looks like underneath, the surface level understanding of Sauron and complete lack of knowledge of the Silmarillion and it’s fandom, the fact that Sauron was canonically hot as fuck, the amount of Sauron erotica I have seen, God this post never gets old
The Poster Of The Comment: You don’t see people shipping themselves with Sauron!

having just finishedbinging LOTR i can tell you 100% what i would help sauron put the ring on.

This site defies all logic.
A network or service that fails to make enough money for its shareholders generally gets closed down within 2-3 years.
Tumblr lost Yahoo a billion dollars and it’s still around.
That is actually quite [DATA EXPUNGED]
I wonder if it’s like the corporate equivalent of one of those “unsolved but not proven insolvable” math problems … like, this site is popular as fuck, the concept of reblogs and the streams of added commentary that develop are clearly loved, if someone ever figures out how to monetize it properly they’ll find themselves sitting on a gold mine … but in the meantime nobody knows how to get the money out of it so they’re just passing it around and looking at it and trying a few things like it’s the Horrible Goose from the untitled goose game and they’re trying to figure out how to make it lay the golden eggs while it runs away with an IPO in its beak.
#its a beautiful day and you are a horrible tumblr

to this day i cannot BELIEVE aang called up and blew off like nine avatars just because they didnt offer any vegan options to ending the war
roku: my best friend assaulted me as a senior citizen :(
kyoshi: sometimes some murder is OK
kuruk: just punch people that disagree with you
aang: okay i’m starting to think that none of you took this avatar thing seriously
You’re not wrong
Aang when he is told he’s the Avatar at age 12: *has a melt down because he understands the seriousness of this function and the consequences his new responsibilities will have on his personal life*
other Avatars at age 16: I’m the avatar? Cool! Hey look it comes with a glowing eyes feature!
The only other competent Avatar was Kyoshi but her and Aang are such different people they will never agree on almost anything and I love that for them

roommates of tumblr, stop using metal utensils on your roommates nonstick pans and stop soaking their cast iron pans in soap thank you and god bless
roommates of the world: it doesn’t actually matter if you use metal on nonstick every once in a while
their pans:
for those wondering, those scratches are where the non-stick coating has been scraped off (usually by metal utensils or cleaning utilities like steel wool), which means that food will stick more in those spots. plus, there runs the risk of more bits of that coating coming off into your food as you cook.
Non-stick pans and skillets are best for medium heat as they don’t conduct heat as well, and for wetter foods like eggs and fish and pancakes.
On the other hand, cast iron pans and skillets don’t have a built in protective coating. The metal will absorb grease and fats as they cook, building up an equally efficient non-stick coating of its own. And without the chemical coating that non-stick pans come with, there’s no risk of any of it flaking off or melting into your food. They can handle higher temperatures without damage, and they get hot faster on the burner. Beef, pork, and chicken are best cooked on cast iron.
You don’t want to let them soak in soap because it will remove that grease coating that makes the cast iron pan’s non-stickiness, plus absorb soap that might melt back off into your food. A soap and sponge rub down is all it needs.
