details inside the jalali house in srinagar, kashmir, built by agh syed safdar jalali in 1863. one of many "heritage houses" constructed by wealthy denizens of kashmir's cities during a period of architectural renaissance, it uses every kashmiri architecture and craft technique that you could possibly imagine; from taq architecture to resist earthquakes, to the papier-mache decals on its walls. today, it's cared for by jalali's descendants and is open to tourists.

re: the hbomberguy plagiarism video again. i keep seeing people being like "this is a reminder to always check your sources" and it leaves me wondering. does anyone on this website even understand what that means

#i haven't watched the video or the toddintheshadows videos yet so this 'reminder' might make more sense in context #but the thing about plagiarism is that 'checking your sources' won't necessarily work #if you get lucky you might find the original thing that the plagiarist is stealing from #if you're not lucky you'll just find the sources the original used and it'll seem like it checks out #and THAT'S why plagiarism is so insidious #and 'checking' gets a lot more complex once you're looking into theory over pure facts #or. like. the general vibes of a fandom #anyway an important aspect of evaluating a source is to ask who the information is coming from #and you should basically never blindly trust some rando online with no relevant credentials #not even me. not even mr. hbomberguy

This week's deep dive rec is Slate's Slow Burn: The L.A. Riots podcast, hosted by Joel Anderson, which is a great example of how long-form reporting can give context to complex social and historical events:

In 1992, a jury failed to convict the four Los Angeles police officers who’d been captured on videotape beating Rodney King. The city erupted into fire and chaos—the culmination of decades of unchecked police abuse and racial injustice. For the sixth season of Slate’s Slow Burn, Joel Anderson returns to explore the people and events behind the biggest civil disturbance in American history—a story that’s still playing out today.

Yay, eclipse! Eclipse day was great. :-D

I worked from home today, and I had the NASA channel on in another room. Everyone was so excited, I loved it I loved hearing the cheers of the crowds in the path of totality, which sadly, didn't include me. I think we experienced 90-95%.

I went outside to peek..I left my eclipse glasses at work on my desk, I cannot believe it...so I used a pair of UV sunglasses and a welder's helmet. Worked *great* but probably wasn't the most responsible choice. Still, it worked great! I was extremely excited when I saw it happening and kept saying, "This is so cool!" No, this wasn't my first eclipse, but it really is SO COOL.

Bees! I heard the announcers saying something about animals but as I was working, didn't think about it much until...

A carpenter bee (the big fat ones that bore holes) was flying around the back porch (which they do sometimes, since the wood isn't painted). It's getting warm, so I wasn't surprised. Then another one showed up, and they started getting a little more aggressive than usual. I went back in the house for a few minutes so they could calm down.

But! When I went back out another couple of bees had joined the first ones so now there were about four or five of these things flying around, and they were much more aggressive than they usually are. Most of the time they just kind of hover and bumble and don't dive bomb you. But! One of these bees followed me out into the yard and buzzed my head when I tried to stay out of their way! I didn't think about it until a little later, when I heard one of the folks on TV talking about animal behavior during the eclipse. And sure enough, after the eclipse was over, those suckers were gone.

Also, I loved that weird supernatural darkness.

And! Since I had no filter for my camera, I used an old phone for the following picture which doesn't capture the excitement of the moment in the least:

So all in all, a 10/10 experience, would recommend (except the bees).

#eclipse #eclipse 2024 #not just my imagination! per online sources those bees *aren't* generally aggressive (they never have been until today) #they weren't too pleased with the eclipse I'll tell you that #columbus ohio

Animals I wish to see in Above and Beyond:

Alternate title: I Am Banging On Silvergate’s Door As We Speak /j

Bees!! because a bee model does in fact exist. I know this. They just need to use it /srs. Plus bees would make a really cute episode anyway- and when they finally do it I am willing to bet $9999 on it being a Vegimals episode.

Orchid mantis, or any kind of mantis really. Why? They are my favourite bug, next question-

Gynandromorph animal(s)!!! They're so cool—they're what happens when an animal with vastly different gender differences (think the harlequin ducks) is born intersex, and they look like Picasso paintings come to life. (it could also be a fun way to introduce a character with they/them pronouns-)

Parrots! (I know we got the mountain parrots but shh-) I desperately want a Pete-centered episode, and give him some friends while you're at it please.

Centipede! They’re literally just remipedes on land. Make it a Shellington episode and call it a day 👍

Snails. I love snails. They're the best mollusks, I am not accepting criticism.

Tarantula. Just because :)

Bunny. They showed an illustration of a non-anthro bunny in The Cold Snap and I have not felt peace since.

I’d gladly take a jackrabbit too; they’re not really rabbits (they’re hares), but if you’ve read that one post you’ll understand. It’s a Kwazii and Tweak episode.

Sammy The Falcon specifically. What is his deal???? They introduced him as Paani's living taxi and gave us ZERO context.

Maned wolves. Weirdos. (affectionate)

Moose. I will not elaborate further.

I’m down to see the chinstrap penguins again, or Ooju and Rocko—I think they should interact 👀

Ostrich?? Emu?? I have nothing else to say.

Ring-Tailed Lemur. They’re another one of my favourite animals, and I think the Wild Kratts fans would get a kick out of it. They deserve nice things.

Mole lizard. Look it up I DARE you. (cw if you're scared of snakes or worms) /nf

Would it be alright to ask you advice on curating my fandom experience? Regarding avoiding b///kshippers and the like, unfortunately. I don't know who else to ask, unless you or your followers know of someone? I don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.

I guess so, yeah! Would be easier if you're off anon, admittedly, or on discord or the like. I'm not sure what specific info I can give tbh?

I can give some general advice though

Block people if you don't like them, and mute/block terms you don't like. Use filters liberally.

This is the internet, things that should not exist unfortunately do, and we cannot change what others do. It's not worth your time and energy or mental health to try and change other's minds on this, i promise.

Personally, I prefer to block and mute individual people instead of filter tags or block terms. I'd rather catch and block the source, so I can keep certain people from interacting with my blogs or fics. Some people would simply rather not see anything at all, so block and filter anything associated with it. It's genuinely up to each person.

But remember this IS and will always be the internet. The unfortunate truth is that you WILL see stuff you don't want to, sometimes in the least likely of places. Sometimes people won't tag. Sometimes it'll ruin your day. But if you wanna engage with fandoms and media online, you have to know this, and you have to be able to decide when the risk is not worth it.

It sucks, it really sucks that this is how it is, but it is :(

But yeah! Know what works for you! Block people! Block tags! That's genuinely the best thing to do, and at the end of the day almost all you CAN do. At least it's a powerful tool.

Good luck anon! If you need more specific advice you can ask, though it's no guarantee i'll have an answer

(Oh, another thing I suggest is, if it's a fandom like submas that has big presences in other languages, if you cannot speak those languages find the tag for the ship or whatever it is you don't like IN THAT LANGUAGE and block it

In english, if I see ship art I don't want to see, I can easily read the tag and block the artist. In japanese, I cannot read the tags, so blocking the tags helps me not see it because as we all know, sometimes it's hard to recognize what's a ship art piece and what isn't!

It's not foolproof, but it definitely helps me avoid artists I cannot read the tags of, and find artists that don't create stuff like that! because I personally love finding cool art from all over the world, despite not being able to read it.)

#yeah tbh just block everyone who makes stuff that even makes you a little uncomfy if you like #i have. LONG blocklists #which no i will not share bc i am not spreading ways to harrass people online i'm sorry #being the source of that makes me pretty uncomfy #but aside from handing out lists of names #i can help i guess! #hope this is somewhat helpful? it's p generic lol #THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION TO SPARK DISCUSSION ABOUT ALL THIS IN MY INBOX BTW #THIS IS AN INVITATION TO ANON TO CLEAR UP IF THEY WANTED MORE SPECIFIC ADVICE! #For now I am going to keep this un-rebloggable bc I do not want people misbehaving on this post. I know how tumblr can get. #cool? cool? we cool? #good

Sometimes I remember absolutely batshit insane discourse topics I saw when I was a teen and I am just. Amazed

Also, the fact that adults also said this just adds to the insanity tbh

#thylacines can talk #aces stole purple from bis #homosexual/romantic is a slur #aspec actually means autism spectrum and you cant use it if youre acearo. sources? just trust me bro #the mooncourse #people acting rude and entitled because you didn't include a lesbian flag in something. even when it WAS included just in a different post #when a certain art project was split into multiple posts. or they used a lesbiaj flag that they made on their own or that was less popular #because it was back when people still weren't set on which lesbian flag to use. or if it was by-request project #thay one time a lesbian candle maker was harassed because she made a lesbian candle hut didnt use the pink lipstick flag so people accused #her of being lesbophobic despite it saying thats a lesbian flag Right There on heretsy shop #either the same person or another lesbian crafter getting harassed because she made an ace artemis soap #the entire discourseprincessa fiasco #the queer is a slur argument and it's useless anyway because its too vague (thats the POINT) #it was tiring and so stupid when it all was happening and i regret wasting my teens on that bs. but man is it funny in hindsight #i dont miss old tumblr discourse though #I COMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT ANOTHER ONE. APPARENTLY 'PISS YOUR PANTS' WAS A DEATH THREAT #alsp the fact that i still see people. ADULTS. arguing against the aspec or pan/mga is laughable #what are you? 13? get off the internet. go outside. touch grass. interact with actual queer community. stop being so chronically online #these are just words. if they saw the type of terms older generations use theyd fucking combust on the spot

[ratgirlcopia]

makes a 3-hour long hbomberguy-style video that's just me trying to trace the origins of the statement that copia's favorite drink is evaporated milk.

#copiaposting #i shan't do this. but imagine. #i know the wiki is full of garbage and generally uncited so it's less about finding a source where the evaporated milk thing exists— #and more about finding out who first said it existed. #there are a lot of random unprovoked bits that tf has dropped across interviews. maybe this is one of them. but i can't prove that. #unless of course i was to go through systematically cataloguing every interview he's done in the last five years. #at some point in my life i'm sure i'll be bored enough to do that. but even then i don't expect to find proof of evaporated milk. #like. i saw in real time after brisbane how easy misinformation spreads around here lol. #posts with HUNDREDS of notes and no footage links going around saying copia was talking about feeling sick and frail. #and then you watch the footage (that you have to dig up yourself) and he's complaining about the HEAT WAVE. oh my god. #online community that loves nothing more than dramatically misinterpreting every word out of that guy's mouth.

[watatsumiis]

hey just a heads up, if yall ever happen to catch me reblogging anything that's been generated by a bot or ai please let me know so i can take it down.

#this seems to be a contentious take in the genshin fandom especially but #until the sources these ais (including the writing ones!) pull from have been regulated and fixed im just not interested #its unethical and unfair to people who put actual hard work into what they do to have their stuff stolen #and churned up in machines without consent #yes artists learn and pick up from others !! but i trust a humans judgement on what is and isnt ok to post online #and get money and attention from more than i trust a literal sequence of numbers #general barks #im still SO sick it sucks majorly orz

[velociraptorsaurusrex]

sometimes I still think about the good old days before the go*d ome*s tv show came out

#the fans of the book online were like… so much more normal and fun #people tended to have like. a normal sort of basic understanding of the source material #but I can’t even really blame show fans for not totally getting it because like. the show doesn’t totally get it either. #obviously I mean this in a general sense #i still love that book it meant a lot to me at the time I first read it #during the really shitty middle - high school transition I had #i don’t care for neil & never have but I do care for terry… just another thing to feel vaguely sad and disappointed over #the show to me is just like. it’s just okay. it’s fine. it’s a fine adaptation. its just okay. it’s just fine. #that being said. #I’ve said this to friends but. if they really make this totally unnecessary s2 #and they aren’t in love & kissing on screen. then there’s just no point #like if they really have the gall to not make them in love and kissing on screen. genuinely unforgivable #anyway…… i dunno. i dunno man. #i don’t think I have it in me to really care. about anything like this anymore.

[dykesynthezoid]

Obviously the majority of trans men sound totally normal in how they discuss cis women perpetuating transphobia and being transphobic to them and how that affects how they relate to cis women and all of that is really important for us to be discussing as a community etc

But then there’s like. A minority that will straight up say things like “I don’t give a shit about cis women dying from lack of access to safe abortion since we trans men have it worse anyway” and it’s like hey uh what the fuck. What the fuck

#there’s a v specific subsection of terminally online ppl who will use ‘cis women’ the way people used to use ‘white women’ in that. #they just needed an excuse to complain about women in general so they tacked on a source of privilege at the beginning #again it’s not the majority doing that. but they’re out there #also as someone who is not cis and still needs reproductive healthcare. yeah I know how much it fucking sucks to get left out of those #discussions #and if you’ve visibly transitioned how much harder it can make to access care #and it’s shitty! it’s fucking shitty! #saying you don’t care that women are going to die though like. Jesus fucking christ #this sucks but. I think one of the reasons I regularly feel more solidarity with transfems than transmascs even though I myself am #technically transmasc is bc trans women are way better at calling out misogyny. esp if it coming from within the community #and having any kind of discussion about misogyny in transmasc spaces (at least online) is like. impossible at this point #and god forbid you’re trying to address how trans men’s misogyny affects trans women #and the trivialization of tme privilege in trans masc spaces
