Using this anon hate I got as a teaching example

image

So if you get anon hate like this, there is a few things you can do. (Also once again the person linked is totally innocent, anon is just using a link to them for some reason, do not bother them)

First of all, Tumblr made it so only people who have accounts and are logged in can send anons AT ALL. So if you want to you can click the three little dots in the upper right corner and report them

image

Anyways once you're there, select the type of harassment you're getting, after consulting a few people on discord I decided it was the second to last one.

image

Then of course you fill out the little form

image

Afterwards you can hit "Submit and Block"

image

Fun fact: when you block an anon you permanently (there is no way to reverse it) block their IP address and they can't send you any more anons, also as a bonus, if you've received a LOT of anon hate and then you block one of them, reload your inbox to see how many it got rid of, because it might have just been one loser spamming you. If you don't feel like reporting them then that's fine too, just block those suckers.

And finally, you can take solace in the fact that you could never be as big of a loser as the anons sending people hate.

good info on how to report and block anonsyou can also choose to not allow ANY anon asks!

I know people on tumblr looove stories of underwater cave diving, but I haven't seen anyone talk about nitrogen narcosis aka "raptures of the deep"

basically when you want to get your advanced scuba certification (allowing you to go more than 60 feet deep) you have to undergo a very specific test: your instructor takes you down past the 60+ foot threshold, and she brings a little underwater white board with her.

she writes a very basic math problem on that board. 6 + 15. she shows it to you, and you have to solve it.

if you can solve it, you're good. that is the hardest part of the test.

because here's what happens: there is a subset of people, and we have no real idea why this happens only to them, who lose their minds at depth. they're not dying, they're not running out of oxygen, they just completely lose their sense of identity when deep in the sea.

a woman on a dive my instructor led once vanished during the course of the excursion. they were diving near this dropoff point, beyond which the depth exceeded 60 feet and he'd told them not to go down that way. the instructor made his way over to look for her and found a guy sitting at the edge of the dropoff (an underwater cliff situation) just staring down into the dark. the guy is okay, but he's at the threshold, spacing out, and mentally difficult to reach. they try to communicate, and finally the guy just points down into the dark, knowing he can't go down there, but he saw the woman go.

instructor is deep water certified and he goes down. he shines his light into the dark, down onto the seafloor which is at 90 feet below the surface. he sees the woman, her arms locked to her sides, moving like a fish, swimming furiously in circles in the pitch black.

she is hard to catch but he stops her and checks her remaining oxygen: she is almost out, on account of swimming a marathon for absolutely no reason. he is able to drag her back up, get her to a stable depth to decompress, and bring her to the surface safely.

when their masks are off and he finally asks her what happened, and why was she swimming like that, she says she fully, 100% believed she was a mermaid, had always been a mermaid, and something was hunting her in the dark 👍

NITROGEN NARCOSIS FACT CHECK TIME!

  • Divers usually call it gas narcosis these days, because it can be caused by almost all gases at high enough pressures
  • People are not "losing their minds," they're getting drunk. Most gases have a narcotic effect when deep water pressure forces enough gas into your tissues.
  • You can reverse it very quickly by moving to shallower water.
  • Technical divers use a helium mix gas in their tanks, because helium is one of the few gases that doesn't do this.
  • It's not just "a subset of people" who can experience this, it can happen to anyone. Some people are a little more susceptible, the same way some people get drunk faster, but it can affect any diver.
  • I've never heard of a scuba instructor making you do underwater math. I mean, if you can't do that it might mean you're having an issue, but drunk people can still do math.
  • UPDATE EDIT: The math problem thing looks like it's one of the activities you do when completing the PADI Deep Diver course. You do a simple activity on the surface (a math problem or a simple dexterity puzzle) and the repeat it when you're over 60 feet deep, and then compare your times. It's just to illustrate how gas narcosis can affect you while you're diving.
ok reblogging again for the new addition!

I was not planning on opening commissions for a long time, but my hands are tied. I have about 5 days to supplement my meager paycheck from my day job in order to pay rent and not go in the red. STARTING AT $28 USD I’m offering half-body (or eh, two-thirds body even) sketchy doodles of a single character!! You can either pay that base minimum or more, it’s entirely up to your discretion. (Note: if normal commissions resume, this offer will no longer apply nor carry over.)

• Slots available: I’m taking whoever approaches within THIS time slot: July 23rd-July 28th (28th is when the rent is due, after this threshold I’m not accepting any more commission requests).

Please do not DM me unless you are going to commission me and can pay, and please have references ready.

• Mostly importantly, be patient!! I’m doing this within a work week. Not an ideal timeframe, but it’s all I can manage on short notice.

• Because it is short notice, I’m gonna reiterate that I’m NOT offering full renders, nor anything too complex and strenuous right now. This is also why asking for more than one character isn’t available for the time being. I’m really sorry!

• If you don’t want to commission me and just wanna give a small tip (srsly anything helps rn), my ko-fi is available here!!

THANKS AND BYE

Cuando toque votar el 23J, recordad: antes cerdo que fascista.

Next Sunday we’re having general elections in Spain, and a whole movement has started around Porco Rosso to encourage people to vote against the rising fascism in my country. He’s become the perfect icon… and well, it’s time to fight (again) to keep our rights.
