#it's not rocket science

whilst i’m here. i don’t like this growing trend of treating exotic bugs and spiders like toys or props to make “viral” videos and such. the amount of videos i see floating around showing people irresponsibly handling tarantulas (especially old worlds!!!) high off the ground, bothering jumping spiders constantly because they’re cute and not providing them with enough enrichment, etc etc. tarantulas gain nothing from being handled and you put them at risk of injury or death if they fall or if you flinch and drop them. jumping spiders are adorable, but that doesn’t mean they should be poked and prodded for videos all the time like i’ve seen some people doing. yeah, they’re really cool, fascinating and a lot of people are adverse to these animals, but it doesn’t give you the right to treat those animals like props. they’re still wild creatures, they still deserve to have peace, and most importantly they need to be safe. that’s your responsibility and they owe you nothing in return!

yes, handle at your own risk. yes, some tarantulas and trues may harmlessly walk onto your hand and allow you to hold them. that doesn’t mean you should wave them around in front of a camera for likes and comments telling you how cool and brave you are for putting your animal at risk. sorry to be the fun police or whatever but come on. advocate for your animals so that people know that they’re not monsters, but advocate for them in a way that’s fair to your animal and honest to your viewers.

the only inverts i actively handle are one of my jumping spiders and both of my mantids and i do so entirely on their terms. if they want to come onto my hand they can, if they want to go home they can. i know each of them very well and know their limits and boundaries. my peacock mantis for example seems to appreciate being held where they can observe the room around them. my L3 thistle mantis doesn't like having hands close to her or above her as she's very small, and she prefers to jump onto a finger on her terms. my phidippus regius spiderling is shy and needs plenty of time to work up to jumping onto a finger from above, but once she’s settled she seems to like the warmth of my hand. my phidippus octopunctatus jumper doesn't want to be handled or touched, that's fine and i give her plenty of space.

just respect your inverts for the wild animals they are

I do appreciate the show taking the time to mock all the vaggie-angel theorists while they're all patting themselves on the back

it just made me laugh 10x harder

no hate though, you called it that's fair enough, I just thought it was funny

the thing about a Winnie the pooh horror movie is that it COULD work. just not the way it's been done. no one wants to see Winnie the Pooh garrotting people with a cannibalized Eeyore's tail [I'm not making that up, fucking christ]

don't take away the safety and security of the children's classic. also think of what would work in such a setting, not gore and gore and more gore.

think of an Among The Sleep type deal where pooh and the gang are the protectors and comfort to christopher robin against the threat [maybe an unseen enemy, maybe an f-ing woozle], not a gorefest. no pointless teenagers for no goddamn reason. keep it simple.

Snails are hermaphrodite and so are neither and both male and female. You said every species remember.

As I said when I said every species, there are two genders/sexes. Hermaphrodite is not its own gender. That means they have the sex characteristics of the two existing genders.

If I do not like what someone is posting about I simply do not read it. RIP everyone else but I'm different.

the reason why bylers are right and byler deniers are wrong is bc us bylers CARE. A LOT. y'know? after watching so many st reactions, it's like oh it's just that no one gives a shit about will or mikes storyline/arc. people typically watch it once and don't give a second thought before arguing that mike is straight and byler could never happen.

but us? i mean i'll just speak for myself and say i watch ST like some ppl used to watch the Office... meaning i just have it on constantly. it's a comfort media thing.

i analyze it to death, and i'm on here every damn day reading new theories like it's my gotdamn job. i go back to watch it myself to see if the theories are feasible instead of relying on evidence on the internet since sometimes people absolutely claim things that are false. that's why i have no doubt over byler. i've put in the hours lmao.

#honestly i watch it even more attentively than the office fans bc st actually has things to figure out lol #it's not normal or healthy & thats why you can trust me 😂 #aint no average person with a healthy relationship w media is spending this much time on a tv show #i am insane for byler #& insane for ST #superfans will always know better than GA #it's not rocket science #byler #byler endgame

A real exchange that happened with my cousin when I took him to see Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness back in May:

America Chavez’s parents show up on screen as we see her memories

My cousin: Are those her parents?

Me: Yes.

My cousin: But...they’re both women?

Me: Yes, they’re a gay couple.

My cousin: Then how do they have a kid? How does that work?

Me:

Adoption. It’s not that hard.

I can't defend jimin anymore. I used to defend him from antis as if my life depends on it but Sungwoo's comment just comfirmed that Jimin isn't even trying.

My guy, JM doesn't need defending from the likes of you. You're some sort of asshole.

My suggestion for everyone is to listen to what Jimin actually says and you know, comprehend his words. He has said time and time again he's not interested in solo work and just wants to be in BTS. Stop expecting something to happen that he's never talked about wanting to do. You just set yourself up for disappointment, and you're not listening to the person you supposedly admire. Respecting and admiring someone does involve listening and believing them when they talk. Let's try being happy for the choices he makes because, you know, he knows what's best for himself/what he wants. Sigh.

The reason Richard is so overdramatic is because he grew up in the circus.

Oi-oi-oi!  Look at what Tumblr did at some unknown point in time!

Tumblr finally… finally… added HTML (and Markdown) support to their Shiny New Post Editor™!!

I've been griping about this for a while, now.  It just didn't make sense that the people in charge would outright remove that functionality when it seems so very useful!  I mean… it's useful to me, at least.  Funny thing, though, is that one could still get HTML in the New Editor by simply writing something in another window and copying the formatted text over.  I dunno.  S'weird, yo.

They also finally added the ability to paste comma-separated tags into the "tags" field. And edit the tags without deleting them. This is something YouTube has had for a dog's age, it feels like. Nice to see that Tumblr is finally catching up!

Anyway, I guess I have no reason to stick with the Legacy Editor, now.  I may even ditch XKit Rewritten. Truth be told, thing's left a bad taste in my mouth since Day One. Don't get me started on when I tried to actually contribute to the project…

So, yeah. Maybe, I'll give the Shiny a tiny try~ In fact, this post was made with the new editor.  See if you can spot the difference!

~ J

Pre-Post Edit: Yeah, I knew it was too good to be true…

Apparently, the HTML editor doesn't support anything but basic text formatting codes and paragraph tags. In order to turn my signature into monospace, I had to use a "p class" tag instead of a simple "code" tag.  But of course, when I switched from Rich Text back to HTML… Tumblr told me that the tag that it had just inserted was "unsupported" by the modern HTML editor. Same with Tumblog tags used by the at-sign code.

Might wanna get on that, @staff…
