had to share this

we are witnessing the gentrification of the term "tumblr sexyman" in real time and it is extremely disappointing. like no, live-action white boy #265 played by ryan gosling isn't a tumblr sexyman. i can't believe i have to say this but if it wouldn't get you shoved into a locker it probably isn't a sexyman

"Naga's Eye" That Appears When It Rains. Thailand's Mystical Rock Formation

Via. MGR Online. (X)

"the grand canyon is just a big hole in the ground" one, yeah it is and that's awesome, and two you know nothing cease speaking immediately

like I can't get too mad because like this is one of those situations where pictures can literally NEVER do it justice but if you've ever actually been there I feel like there is no world in which you could describe what you're seeing as a "big hole in the ground" it does NOT come across like that at all

it's like what if you were looking at the ocean but it wasn't the ocean it was an echo of a river with the immense power of an ocean that no longer is and all the shadows the waves left were made out of unfathomably huge ancient rocks in a painted rainbow of color and all at once you fully understood how big the world is and how small you are and how painfully, achingly long six million years is and what sailors and storytellers meant when they described the edge of the world...

it's like looking at an elder god but it doesn't drive you insane so much as re-contextualize your place in the universe in a weirdly kind and loving way

idk how people can describe that as "just a big hole in the ground" like bro it's everything

it reaches to the horizon and literally that's the crazy part to me. yeah it's a big hole but it's a bigger hole than my town and it's older than the hill i live on. so.

no but LITERALLY like I think people don't get it you can BARELY see the other side even if you're standing right on the edge, it IS the horizon if you're facing it, it's 100% like looking at a large body of water and it DOES THINGS to your brain

The (European) explorers who first encountered it were horrified by it; one called it "the grave of the world." It feels less like a geological feature than a force of nature.

It has different weather systems on the North Rim as opposed to the South Rim. There are small mountains INSIDE IT. It’s 270 miles long just based on the river (not including offshoots), which is the distance between New York City and Virginia Beach. You can’t take a picture of it that does it anything close to justice. If you attempt to cross it without proper preparation and guidance, and probably a mule, you will die. “Hole in the ground” is just not in your vocabulary when you’re there.

YEAH LET'S FUCKING GOOOO!! Also you can do the Rim To Rim hike without a mule(which was a dream of mine before the Chronic Illness hit) and it's actually so popular the campsites at the bottom are booked like 2 years in advance, but yeah you gotta be prepared. I hiked maybe a third of the way down into it once and I s2g I almost died it was intense as fuck. Don't let your hubris get you, this place is like the ocean in that it's gorgeous but it can and will kill you if you don't treat it with respect.

Also yeah like "hole in the ground" is straight up not even in your brain when you look at it. It looks like someone drained the fucking ocean, your brain legit will struggle to perceive it 'cuz it just wasn't made to deal with things that are THAT big, and you can sit there and feel it flounder. It's amazing, I've been here three times, it's legit my favorite place on the entire planet.

270 miles = 434.523 kilometres

ah! so you’re the grimey little pimp who i hired to bathe me in wet kinetic sand, are you?

been reposting my tumblr posts on bluesky. don't tell those chumps i'm feeding them my leftovers lmao

I saw some weird ass conspiracy video thing today of like 'we were never meant to have access to yeast, that was cultivated in a lab and it harms us' bullshit and I was like well first off there's no such thing as 'meant to' and second of all um? the long history of acquiring yeast from beer foam stretching so far back ??????

....you can acquire yeast FROM THE AIR.

If you want to make sourdough started from scratch, the process is 'mix water, flour, and maybe sugar if you've got it, then WHIP IN AS MUCH AIR AS YOU CAN' and let it sit. And this works. Because there's yeast there. In the air.

Not only is there yeast in the air, it's on a bunch of fruits, too. Ever rubbed a blueberry, plum, or grape, and it was slightly darker underneath? That thin film is wild yeasts. There is also yeasts that live on human skin (and not just pathogenic ones!). We are never without yeasts.

Wait that’s actually really good, gonna pop this out of the tags

Sleeping Beauty AU where the princess was born on a Leap Day, so when the evil fairy curses her to prick her finger “on her 16th birthday”, her family realizes that’s not the same thing as her 16th year of life and she’ll actually be in her 60′s when it happens.

By the time the Royal Counsellor has finished speaking the King looks slightly less like he might faint and the Queen actually looks a little hopeful.

“Are you certain?” she pressed.

“Absolutely,” the Counsellor assured her. “I had one of my clerks take notes during all the fairy’s speeches for the exact purpose of studying their phrasing.”

“What,” the King blinked. “Even the good ones?”

The counsellor sniffed. “Especially the good ones.”

“So…so we can truly argue that it is the birthday that counts and not the passing of the years?” asked the Queen, colour returning to her cheeks.

“Indeed!” the Counsellor said with a smile. “So if my math is correct your daughter will be sixty-four when the curse enters into effect.”

“That is hardly what I would call a long and prosperous life!” the King protested.

“Ah, but it does give her Royal Highness the Princess a lot more time to find this contractually necessary one true love,” his Counsellor explained. “Quite a reasonable amount of time I would say, if she happens to be of a romantic and monogamous persuasion, of course.”

The royal couple looked equal parts relieved and bewildered.

“But there’s no need to worry about that just yet,” the Counsellor said comfortingly. “And besides. Times are moving on. That is the entire reason we have the High Court of Magical Justice. Why, just last month a transformed prince was kissed back to human by his platonic life partner after successful litigation against the original layer of the curse! It is riveting caselaw.”

“…this is a good thing, yes?” the King ventured.

“Very good,” the Counsellor nodded.

“Well then!” Her Majesty the Queen beamed. “In that case, I say we continue the celebrations!”

“Quite right, Your Majesty, quite right,” the Counsellor said with a bow. “If you need me, I shall be in my study.”
