[one-time-i-dreamt]

A man went viral in Seoul, South Korea yesterday for this very photo. Pictured here is a man in a suit on his phone, sitting on a car in an extreme flood and heavy rain.

Seoul was hit with the biggest amount of torrential rain in over 80 years. There has been flooding, landslide, building collapses, power outtakes, and unfortunately, at least seven confirmed human casualties (and 6 people unaccounted for), among them a 13 year old girl. May they rest in peace.

The man in the photo was later revealed to have been a reporter reporting live from the scene on his phone.

This is how it all looked from his point of view.

The reporter's name is Park Sang-ryul (박상률) and he works for Yonhap News TV (연합뉴스TV).

I can't for certainty say where the original photo of him comes from, because it was reuploaded a million times already so if you find credit please do tell me, but I believe this was the first tweet to feature it: link to tweet.

The reason I chose this photo is because it shows well just how apocalyptic things are right now. I have friends in South Korea who are scared out of their minds due to the situation, and my thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected. I hope all of you are safe.

Nat cats and fires dominate North America business claims

Nat cats and fires dominate North America business claims

According to the AGCS Global Claims Review 2022, built on analysis of more than 530,000 insurance claims from 2017 to 2021, with a total value of €88.7 billion (approx. CA$115.7 billion), the leading causes of loss in North America over the past five years were natural catastrophes and fire/explosion. Specific to natural catastrophes, AGCS found that hurricanes and tornados were the most…

I hate websites I hate managing websites so much. I'm always clenching my fists waiting for the day GTW completely breaks. I just wanna draw comics man.

#the plugin I'm using has been unsupported for years #and I'm like...waiting for the axe to fall #it seems like the only one being regularly updated is one that caters more to the webtoon kind of format #and the second I read about how to integrate things my eyes glaze over I HATE computers #Dunno how they work...don't want to fuck with things lest my shoestring whatever completely collapses #so I just cross my fingers and hope nothing catastrophic happens #god i wish i could apply to hiveworks or something #I could look into transitioning to comic fury or something but that just...I don't want to start over again #I just want something that's Actually Fuckin Supported but i guess the nature of technology is it'll never be stable for more than 10 years

I wonder what the kids and teachers in luz's school think of her now. Shes stopped "terrorizing" other kids, mainly because she seems to have stopped engaging with most of her classmates period. She no longer brings live animals or taxidermy to school. She even participates in english class occasionally, even if she doesnt "get" the point of the book. Her rants only clock as suicidal if you know about her time in the boiling isles which the people at her school do not.

I wonder if luz's teachers and schoolmates think that luz mellowed out over the summer. If the principal/counselor that suggested she go to the camp patted himself on the back because shes "improved."

#the owl house #toh #shut up pandora #luz noceda #something something people see a neurodivergent kid having depression and breathe a sigh of relief bc now theyre finally 'normal' #people speculate maybe luz would have been fine going to the summer camp and while i agree she would have made friends #she would not have been fine! she would have just learned to suppress her identity like camila did #but going to the boiling isles was her only option bc she either gets suppressed quickly at the summer camp #or she keeps acting out at school and eventually society wears her down and shames her into conforming like it did to her mom #something about how even if the camp helps luz act like a 'normal person' she still would have been miserable bc she couldnt be herself #it temporarily benefits her by giving her friends and benefits ppl around her by making her act 'normal' #but the kids there are still weird at heart! they have a community to be weird around now but society at large will still look down on them #unless they put on a front all the time to fit in #and the boiling isles isnt perfect either its society still looks down on luz for being different #but it accepts her neurodivergence and her new friends are all neurodivergent like her so she still has a community to be herself around #and while it looks down on her for having no natural magic it isnt something shes been shamed about growing up like her neurodivergence was #anyway the camp wasnt as catastrophic as luz thought it would be and vee benefitted from it #but it still represented a slow rot. the kind that eats away at neurodivergent kids as they grow up #slowly shaming them to hide away parts of themselves deemed unfit for society #and when you hide behind a front and are exhausted and miserable from it #everyone applauds you for your 'recovery.' youve improved yourself. they never liked the old you #good job on destroying yourself and shoving the pieces into a facsimile of what the people around you think you ought to be

My Qi Rong headcannon of the day (incorporating my design for him) is that like Hua Cheng, he can change his appearance so that even after he loses his mask in the second book/season, people can’t exactly say he looks like Xie Lian. My design for him really turns him into a goblin so if we pretend he looks like that then he’s intentionally becoming something as far from Xie Lian as he can, but his true form would be much more beautiful and their similarity much more prominent. But in canon he doesn’t actually have enough power to do that I don’t think? Hua Cheng is powerful enough to have multiple forms so maybe Qi Rong can get by with having only one.

And ignoring my design for him, I think this is also why he wears a mask. Pretty boy don’t like being reminded he’s related to Xie Lian.

I also have a headcannon that he was executed by decapitation with the royal xianle family so in the afterlife he has a huge scar around his neck. He’d get pissed off to find it mirrors Xie Lian’s cursed shackle.

In other words he’s trying to be something as far from Xie Lian as possible, even if he has to make himself as ugly as he can to do so.

He’s on my walls now…

#art catastrophe #I like the idea of him being a disgusting little freak #like if you like qi rong being pretty then hell yeah make him pretty #in fact it was so funny to me that in the dinghy’s when his face was revealed her was wearing makeup #legit the most beautiful boy in the entire show #but in my head based on my impression of him from the books he’s a freak of nature #he would flick his boogers at you #the type of guy to wear socks OVER his sandals #or even bathe with his socks on #it’s his way of saying fuck you to the royal family cause they never gave a shit about him or his mom #and let’s be honest while they were both mortal Xie Lian kinda treated Qi Rong like he was a dolt or just worthless #I’m just saying he’s gotta be more of a menace beyond just being a cannibal #tgcf qi rong #tgcf #qi rong #tian guan ci fu #hua Cheng #tgcf hua cheng #tgcf headcannon #headcannon #tgcf theory #heaven officials blessing #tgcf donghua #manhua #tgcf manhua #tgcf books #tgcf book 2

Honestly a bumpy but good start to this year. So many new exciting things in my life & so many new people. Anyone who isn’t good for me took care of themself & stayed behind in 2023. All the dominoes are lining up for maybe one of the best years of my life if I just stay consistent & block out all the noise

#there will be bad days too but it’s cool #learning not to catastrophize bc it’s just natural #learning not to absorb other people’s negativity #learning to show up for the ones who matter better #& learning not to give weight to those who don’t #& honestly?? learning to show up to myself. staying true to my promises to myself #p

Survival of the newest: The mammals that survive mass extinctions aren't as 'boring' as scientists thought

via: Field Museum

When an asteroid hit the Earth 66 million years ago, it set off a devastating mass extinction. The dinosaurs (except for a few birds) all died out, along with lots of the mammals. But some small mammals survived, laying the groundwork for all the mammals alive today. For decades, scientists have assumed that mammals and their relatives that survived challenging times (like those during mass extinctions) made it because they were generalists that were able to eat just about anything and adapt to whatever life threw at them. A new study into the mammal family tree through multiple mass extinctions revealed that the species that survived aren't as generic as scientists had thought: instead, having new and different traits can be the key to succeeding in the aftermath of a catastrophe...

Okay because clearly I am still upset about this.

April 23:

To Spn Con Audience: “By show of force: how many of you would consider yourself introverts?" How many extroverts? And how many bisexuals?” “I’m all three.”

April 25:

“I want to deeply apologize for misspeaking this weekend...“My clumsy intention was to wave off actually discussing my sexuality, but I badly fumbled that and [I] understand that was seen as me coming out as bisexual.”

THIS DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. Misha did not need to "wave off actually discussing [his] sexuality." He brought it up himself. He is literally just speaking at a podium, and of his own accord, announces that he is Extroverted, Introverted, and Bisexual. That is a pre-planned, pre-written statement if I have EVER heard one!!! Literally like... bisexual doesn't even make sense in that list? Its clearly a joke so he can come out in a funny way?

Like what argments even exist that can possibly explain what he meant if not "he is Extroverted, Introverted, and Bisexual"? Do you think he just stupidly thought bisexual was a word for both extroverted and introverted? Because that seems fucking impossible!!!

Why would bisexuals be in that list? Also, hes asking the crowd, meaning he literally does not need to say that he is ANY of them!! The whole and only point of asking was so that he could announce that he was bisexual!!! That is the only reason to do this little song and dance audience interaction in the first place!!

I mean, its not like he asked "How many straights? How many gays? How many bisexuals?" And then he felt weird and said "I’m all three!" That could sound more like a natural conversation topic that ended with him making an awkward joke that he thought was nonsense and actually made him sound bisexual. But he obviously did not say or intend to say that, I’m just writing fucking fanfiction to try and make any of this make sense!

Like seriously, there is no way to interpret the actions of April 23 than an authentic coming out of a bisexual actor. I cannot fathom any other interpretation. It is not a mis-speak? What was he trying to say if not that? Please, give me any crazy theory you have, I’m begging, because I have nothing.

And that brings me to April 25.

I really don't see how to interpret the combination of these actions as anything other than biphobic. Either one (1.), he thought it was appropriate to joke about coming out as bisexual, and pretend that it was real for two days, or two (2.), his statement on April 25 was a lie, he did mean to come out, and was forced, by either internalized or externalized biphobia, back into the closet.

1., I think, is overtly biphobic, because intentionally deceiving people into thinking you have come out for multiple days, using that to gain attention and therefore money, making coming out and bisexuality seem like the butt of a joke, like.

Fuck I’m just feeling again how fucking CONFUSING this shit is! There is no logical way to interpret it!!!

Occam's Razor honestly, 1. Doesn't make sense its too weird and confusing for his statement on April 23 to be a joke, lie, or misspeak.... it doesn't compute...

2. Internalized or externalized biphobia forced him back into the closet.

Honestly this is the only thing that actually makes any sense to me. Whatever has been forcing/convincing him to stay in the closet for decades forced/convinced him to walk it back (poorly).

I honestly honestly hate to do this because I really try to take people at their word as much as possible. I give people the benefit of the doubt. And ESPECIALLY when it comes to sexuality. I really believe that we must defer to what they call themselves, because even if they will change their minds one day, I believe that questioning them or invalidating how they define themselves in the moment does more harm than good. Or, in simpler terms, I think that people getting constantly questioned about their sexuality usually makes it harder for them to figure it out themselves.

But also. This is a middle aged man, a public and loud supporter of queer people, and he knows he not only has a specific presence within that community, he knows what his fans *think* about his sexuality. (Whether or not the fans are problematic for that is a matter for a different time.) So forgive me if I feel I should hold him to a higher standard when he makes statements regarding his sexuality.

But this isn't a high standard.

The incredibly low bar he couldn't manage to cross?

Don't authentically come out and then take it back two days later

I didn't even think I had to make a fucking bar for that!!!

It's genuinely so hard to even wrap my mind around what the fuck happened here! What is he claiming happened? "Misspeak"?!?!

Okay. I’m sorry. It's so hard to be clear on this issue because it just genuinely doesn't make sense. But I hope I made it a slightly bit more clear why it doesn't make sense? And seriously, I need answers. At least give me a better lie so I can sleep better at night.

I would really care so little if he was bisexual if it wasnt for the fact that he SAID HE WAS ffs I’m out I hope he and his wife and kids are very happy

#I have not watched or posted or cared about Misha or spn in over a decade #other than this confusing catastrophe #like ive never watched anything from Dream but if he did this #id be pissed off too #and he doesnt have the age or history of misha #sorry for bringing up dream he just popped into my mind as a modern tumblr example #anyway #yeah its just the incredibly confusing nature of this captivates me #I saw another post about this and so many feelings were brought up I guess I had to make a post about it #please engage with me about this but please be nice #misha collins #misha collins bisexual #misha collins sexuality #biphobia #biphobic #bisexual #sexuality

There’s something Very Aussie about the Rural Fire Service sending you an email to say “we’ve updated our rating system to make it easier to understand! :D”

And it’s just.

They removed Low from the fire danger scale.

Low.

Fire danger now starts at Medium.

But don’t worry, the scale still goes all the way past Extreme and tops out at Catastrophic, because why wouldn’t it.

#irl Cart #STRAYA #thankfully never had to personally deal with that Catastrophic rating myself #no no noooo #only ever had to deal with Extreme once and that was enough for me 😬 #bushfires here are wild yo and i’m so so thankful i now live in an area that’s fine for the most part #save for that one time the ENTIRE STATE was on fire a couple years back lmao #just calm down there nature

What was the most frequently occurring natural peril in 2021?

What was the most frequently occurring natural peril in 2021?

The major drivers of insured losses in 2021 were secondary perils, including floods, wildfires, and severe storms. Flooding was by far the most frequently occurring natural peril in 2021, accounting for 31% of global economic losses from natural catastrophes, only 2% less than hurricanes. Notably, only 25% of global economic losses from major flood events were insured in 2021, indicating a global…
