Turns out I really like DJ War Crimes and his weird little relationship with the Cuttlefish family. Drawing that last one was a mistake cause it made me think of my own grandpa and I got emotional over my drawing tablet would not recommend.

Western pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea)

The two species of pygmy marmoset are the smallest monkeys in the world, weighing in around 3.5 ounces (100g)! The western pygmy is found in a variety of countries in the north of South America, in tropical rainforests and swamps. Like other marmosets they rely on tree gum and sap, but also eat insects and fruits.

sex is swaggy and all but i wish certain things weren't sexualized by default. like i wish i could wear booty shorts without people being like umm i thought you were ace or whatever or why are you upset that i sexualized you. brother i am wearing these because it's 102 degrees outside and booty sweat sucks total ass. and also because they look rad as hell

it is insane how fucking tiny these buttons are did they not like. consider the concept of UI scaling like at all. did they not consider what theyd do if someone had a big monitor. what is this shit

image

why asre there two post buttons. why do i get little numbers next to 'home' and 'following' when btoh are giving me the exact same information. why is it that when you open the account view you have the exact same information on both sides of your screen. why is it that the activity popup obscuires the dashboard now instead of the 1000000 miles of empty space on my god damn desktop. did they not consider the concept of UI scaling at all?????

when i first saw people p[ostp about this i thought maybe they were overreacting because they hate twitter and change but like. whatever you think abotu the concept of 'putting all this shit on the left side of your screen' as a bold UI innovation or whatever in concept this shit is like. just straight up unfinished. like i legitimately dont understand how this was considered ready to roll out to users

image

why does the activity popup open on the ONE part of my screen i DONT want to be obscured when im using tumblr dot com!!

image

no seriously why is this information displayed twice one inch apart. im not being snarky when i say this genuinely just seems actually unfinished

dont talk to me or my three (3) 'activity' buttons that show up when you're already on the activity page ever again

Quick shoutout to the good people at @UniversalPics for trimming the trees that gave our picket line shade right before a 90+ degree week. pic.twitter.com/aZvvPYQ23i  — Chris Stephens (@ChrisStephensMD) July 17, 2023ALT
Whoever "trimmed" those trees may have just killed a bunch of trees on city property, that weren't theirs to trim. Get ready for a fine and sanctions.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT
It so needs to be looked into. If they’ve illegally butchered these trees, they will have to replace them. Hoping LA requires trees of similar age and size. I know it’s nothing to the studios. But still.  — pro-union (@daisybug42) July 17, 2023ALT
My city requires similar age and size. I'm sure LA requires it as well. The replacements are going to cost a small fortune.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT

Not only did I complain on LA's 311 about this but I do happen to know an entertainment reporter over at the LA Times. I just contacted her about this. Welcome to my world. I have a very big vast network of people.  — Steven Burke (@SteveBurke2000) July 17, 2023ALT

You love to see it. (Not the destruction of trees, obvs, but shitheads meeting their oncoming comeuppance at the hands of trees.)

Okay, as someone with their doctorate in plant health (specifically trees and landscape plants), I'm frothing at the mouth livid.

Pollarding is a type of pruning done where you remove the upper branches of a tree with the intent of forcing it to grow more branches. Historically, it was used to produce fodder for livestock and wood for fencing, crafting, etc. but now is more of an aesthetic choice - it creates dense shade and reduces the risk of heavy branches becoming safety concerns later.

However, that pruning is something that occurs in January - March, when the tree is dormant. Not in the peak of summer, when there's a heat wave expected. By doing it during dormancy, the tree has already stored all of the nutrients and sugars the leaves held in the roots and trunk, ready for use in spring.

By pruning these trees now, they've severely damaged them, if not outright sentenced them to death. Leaves provide a tremendous amount of shade to the trunk, actively cool the area through respiration (pulling water through the tree and into the air around it), and provide sugars and nutrients necessary for growth through photosynthesis. These trees now have to work overtime to compensate and re-grow and entire canopy of leaves with reduced resources.

These trees are in what are sometimes affectionately known as "hell strips" - there's a concrete sidewalk on one side, asphalt on the other, and they get hot. Not just upwardly hot, but they heat the soil underneath them as well. The root zone of these trees don't get a lot of water to begin with (concrete and asphalt don't let water in well) and it doesn't seem like there's a lot of soil around the tree to begin with.

Trees in hell strips already have the heat and restricted root zones working against them - you can't have healthy trees if you don't have room for roots. Now these have to compensate and draw resources to push out new growth.

In addition, all of those pruning cuts are open wounds - places where infections and insects can enter into the tree. Usually mature trees can manage minor infections or infestations with no issue. But these trees are now extra susceptible because their immune response is weakened - all the extra energy available is going to new growth, not fighting off infections.

So there's a bunch of factors here that have put these trees at a disadvantage: the removal of most photosynthetic plant material, an increase in surrounding temperature, a restricted root zone, the potential for increased infection, and a heat wave expected in the next week. These trees are going to struggle the rest of their lives because of the decision to prune these trees like this now - all over a desire to break a strike so the studios don't have to pay their actors and writers and editors fairly.

I hope they get the book thrown at them with tree law. And then some.

The illusion of choice and all that

@staff this is truly a basis for me to never open tumblr desktop again so if that was you guy's aim congrats, you nailed it!!!! Now if you wanted to keep "what makes Tumblr unique" you have never failed better
