no like i’m seriously so mad about the fact that mike said his life started the day he met el. imagine being will and not only knowing your love will never be reciprocated, but now hearing that the boy you love and consider to be your best friend actively believes that the day you went missing, the day your life went to absolute shit, was the best day of his life. what the actual fuck mike

it’s so wild watching movies that originate major pop culture phenomena

currently watching Dracula (1931) and i can’t stop thinking like oh okay so this is where it all comes from

but then also listening to @re-dracula and hearing the original-original, watching Drac is especially feeling like discovering the missing link

#it’s amazing! #what an incredible viewing & media experience #dracula (1931) #but jeez none of the adaptations or successors ever knew what to do with #my good friend jonathan harker #dracula daily #re: dracula #and then all the other vampire media i’ve been surrounded by #what we do in the shadows #twilight #true blood #interview with a vampire #buffy the vampire slayer #& more #guess I gotta watch the Coppola adaptation next and im not too stoked about it #you know maybe I’ll do that after dracula daily is done #greatest hits

So I just watched a bunch of the FD from Canadian nationals (which I don’t really watch recent comps but decided to check it out so if anyone wants any thoughts on that let me know) but the thing I have to say in general and THIS IS NOT a partisan VM pov… comparing many of the teams- the top teams in Canada.. the standard between VM is just light years inbetween.

I got a friend to watch who knows figure skating and ice dance but nothing in depth, I’ve showed them a vm program in the past but can’t remember what. But just for fun I showed her 3 of the teams from Canadian Nats- FB/S, L/L and L\R, then showed her VM’s MR from nationals in 2018.

These were her and my thoughts:

First L/R- they did a dolly themed fd. I said how at the same age- younger by a year actually, that VM were dancing Carmen.. for me coming from the dance world I said that in a company environment sometimes you have to perform ‘childish’ rolls like for eg the doll in nutcracker or Coppelia- the difference with ID though is it’s your choice what you perform- so if they are choosing to perform a.. quite childish theme in their mid 20s then that’s their choice… ?? so there’s that maturity factor but at the same time out of the three programs we watched together that program was the most interesting/entertaining.

Next we watched L/L.we agreed they had a nice quality and were a good match, but it was quite boring and we both found we were losing focus, looking at the points box in the screen coz it just wasn’t that interesting. Also the costumes are not flattering.

Finally we watched FB/S, who I told my friend had won the comp. She said that she was only watching the girl because the guy was a very weak performer and physically was not up to her standard. I agreed and said I am only watching her, but not because he was making me watch her, but because he was not drawing my eye in a good way, and when I did look at him he was distracting and she was so much stronger than him.

So.. after all this we watched VM’s MR, and then Latch from NHK because I felt MR wasn’t the most fair comparison because the MR music is a lot more energetic and dynamic than both LL and FBS music.

Here’s what my friend said:

About TS: they are so equal, they move like they are one, there is tremendous connection between them, they are so musical, I’m watching both of them, both separately and in respect to each other, they are so athletic, the lifts are seemless- she just goes without any hesitation or miss communication, they are both so invested in it and you really feel as though they love it with every fibre of their beings. They just seem like an anomaly- like they just so clearly ‘have IT’.

About the other two teams: there was hardly any projection to the audience, quite uncoordinated between partners at times, unequal in abilities (esp FBS), very on one level- both choreographically and their level of performance.

I told her that it’s the same choreographer for VM’s programs and the other teams. She said well that’s a matter of what you do with your choreography- it may be good chore but it’s up to the dancers to make it good. (I had told her a bit more about VM at this point) she then assumed TS have a lot to do with their chore and program direction and I said yes, but I don’t know what if any input the other teams had on their programs. She said they just felt very slow where as VM darted across the ice, that Tessa was so light where as the other girls didn’t feel so solid on their legs/ were heavy in the ice. There was a general lack of security between partners- even before she watched TS.

So.. that’s coming from an outside perspective.

As I said I don’t really watch current ID, admittedly because I just love VM so much and live in a bit of a state of denial that there is anything that has come after them.

I am obviously bias and I wrote a post the other day simply outlining the on paper record teams have ahead of them to beat.

But the gap between VM and every other team is just light years. They just have everything. And it’s not as though it all came easy- they had to work for it, but they are just the ones who are it. I’m not saying it’s complete a ‘fate’ thing, but in every industry there is just someone or some team that are on another level.

I really just don’t see anyone in the sport ever achieving their level of brilliance- beyond the changing requirements of the sport or personal artistic preferences- nothing against these current teams, it is just speaking objectively (btw my friend said that she really doesn’t like the MR version of the song Roxanne- but because TS expressed it so well she forgot about not liking it). VM are so humble and not really capable of assessing their own brilliance objectively, but in other ways they can: like Scott says- he can’t expect there to be another TV, and Tessa said (on many occasions with varied phrasing) that he is just the best ever. They also acknowledge that a huge part of their brilliance is their partnership in terms of both their natural chemistry and the way they worked together to support each other- that part other teams can certainly learn but more and more I appreciate just how hard TS worked at that and how much of a role it played in them becoming as amazing as they were. It’s not to expect that anyone will ever be ‘the next’ TS- to replicate them, but just a team that has the right tools and foundation and can put the pieces they need to together to make it happen on that level.

So yeh.. I might start watching ice dance now- not necessarily for the enjoyment of it but just to see where the sport goes..

#just some thoughts #probs don’t need to do a write up about nats I kinda said it all there #the greatest ice dance team the world has ever seen #I have not watched either of the teams since the olys #LL I don’t know anything about and FDS there was always that gap in standard #*FBS #but Laurence has got a lot better #(I’ve heard he had injuries at some point) #(but you know what…. so did Tessa) 🫤 #if anyone wants to compare #ok I’m done now bye

love it when an entitled ego maniac freshman assumes everyone in drumline has traveled across the country to disney world at least once

#i don’t get how he can’t recognize that it’s not normal to go to disney all the time?? #i’ve been once when i was 10 and we spent a day in magic kingdom and it was really cool #but that was the only time i’ve been. and my friend was like i’ve never been and i’m sure other ppl haven’t that didn’t talk #and it’s just. ugh #recognize that not everybody has the money to go across the country to a money vacuum amusement park every summer #also this kid sucks at playing and marching and marking time (all things you need to be successful at marching band) #but he thinks he’s the greatest thing ever and acts like he knows everything #this kid annoys me so much #if i didn’t have morals i would bully him out of drumline #but we as a collective have only done tjay to one person and he was a rapist so. idiot is not on that level yet #he’s just annyoing and entitled but you can deal with him

Hey All,

I've been away for some time, as we've been working really hard on something quite exciting:

let me present to you the world's first ever global ocean drainage basin map that shows all permanent and temporary water flows on the planet.

This is quite big news, as far as I know this has never been done before. There are hundreds of hours of work in it (with the data + manual work as well) and it's quite a relief that they are all finished now.

But what is an ocean drainage basin map, I hear most of you asking? A couple of years ago I tried to find a map that shows which ocean does each of the world's rivers end up in. I was a bit surprised to see there is no map like that, so I just decided I'll make it myself - as usual :) Well, after realizing all the technical difficulties, I wasn't so surprised any more that it didn't exist. So yeah, it was quite a challenge but I am very happy with the result.

In addition to the global map I've created a set of 43 maps for different countries, states and continents, four versions for each: maps with white and black background, and a version for both with coloured oceans (aka polygons). Here's the global map with polygons:

I know from experience that maps can be great conversation starters, and I aim to make maps that are visually striking and can effectively deliver a message. With these ocean drainage basin maps the most important part was to make them easily understandable, so after you have seen one, the others all become effortless to interpret as well. Let me know how I did, I really appreciate any and all kinds of feedback.

Here are a few more from the set, I hope you too learn something new from them. I certainly did, and I am a geographer.

The greatest surprise with Europe is that its biggest river is all grey, as the Volga flows into the Caspian sea, therefore its basin counts as endorheic.

An endorheic basin is one which never reaches the ocean, mostly because it dries out in desert areas or ends up in lakes with no outflow. The biggest endorheic basin is the Caspian’s, but the area of the Great Basin in the US is also a good example of endorheic basins.

I love how the green of the Atlantic Ocean tangles together in the middle.

No, the dividing line is not at Cape Town, unfortunately.

I know these two colours weren’t the best choice for colourblind people and I sincerely apologize for that. I’ve been planning to make colourblind-friendly versions of my maps for ages now – still not sure when I get there, but I want you to know that it’s just moved up on my todo-list. A lot further up.

Minnesota is quite crazy with all that blue, right? Some other US states that are equally mind-blowing: North Dakota, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming. You can check them all out here.

Yes, most of the Peruvian waters drain into the Atlantic Ocean. Here are the maps of Peru, if you want to take a closer look.

Asia is amazingly colourful with lots of endorheic basins in the middle areas: deserts, the Himalayas and the Caspian sea are to blame. Also note how the Indonesian islands of Java and Sumatra are divided.

I mentioned earlier that I also made white versions of all maps. Here’s Australia with its vast deserts. If you're wondering about the weird lines in the middle: that’s the Simpson desert with its famous parallel sand dunes.

North America with white background and colourful oceans looks pretty neat, I think.

Finally, I made the drainage basin maps of the individual oceans: The Atlantic, the Arctic, the Indian and the Pacific. The Arctic is my favourite one.

I really hope you like my new maps, and that they will become as popular as my river basin maps. Those have already helped dozens of environmental NGOs to illustrate their important messages all around the world. It would be nice if these maps too could find their purpose.

. holy shit almost one year with the best person ever oh my god I can’t stop thinking about them

#ah!!! #me in like 2020 would not believe me if I told them #but have I mentioned that I love my partner #and that they’re the greatest ever #and that I miss them a lot #and that I need to kiss them so badly #and that the universe is cruel for making us so far away #I want sleepy cuddles and stupid convos #and I want to be able to be clinging to them literally all the time #and I wanna give them dumb gifts all the time just because #and I wanna give them flowers literally every chance I get #and I wanna go on walks with them even if the az weather kills me in the process #I cant wait to be with them all the time #joining that amino was one of the best things I’ve ever done I think #I got the best friend I’ve ever had and the love of my life out of it #(and they’re the same person) #and they’re like. they’re so warm and cozy and I love them so much

so tomorrow i have the second to last exam (its a verbal exam) before like graduating and like. i started studying only a few days ago bc i can‘t rly fail it anymore but suddenly for the first time ever i got ambitious about a math grade (or like. THE math grade) and i haven‘t done much other than studying today and my brain is fried and i don’t understand how anyone could ever possibly decide to study a lot out of their own free will more than once lol

#also the fact that i’m in my last year of school (before uni) and i’ve studied this hard for anything ever #and my average is still gonna be above 3 no matter how much i fail #like i’ll have gotten my abitur without really having to work for it bc i just kinda winged everything and it went well somehow? #like obviously i did study sometimes and sometimes paid attention in class and stuff like that. but also like. i didn’t do that very much yk #so this is rly funny to me an di’m rly proud of it even tho it’s not gonna be the greatest average yk? #but like the worst i can possibly get is 2.8 and the best i could possibly get is 2.2. again. with basically no studying in these last years #or ever lol #like idk about you but to me that’s impressive. like its worse than most of my friends’ averages but they actually put in effort so i think #i’m still winning #uwu #abitur #wish me luck btw bc i’ll need it #also maths is both easier and harder than i expected bc like it’s definitely doable. i just doubt if its doable /for me/ #lol #moi #irl #school #<- i miss when i can’t use that tag anymore bc i’ll be done w school :( #or maybe i’ll just use that tag for future uni stuff as well? we’ll seeeeee
