03.28 HAPPY XIAO CE'AN DAY 🐺💙

"i want the moon!"

one of my favorite things about cean is his courage and unwavering will to reach for the unreachable. he wanted to fly, so he tamed a gyrfalcon to become his wings. he wanted the moon, so he held lanzhou and never let him go🥹🥹

indulgence and freedom has always been equivalent for cean. he doesn't feel free if he can't express his desires...i think this is a consistent theme throughout his character arc. he learns too that sometimes there are things he can't obtain no matter how strong he is 😔

but hes always brave enough to not give up, to pursue his dreams and to love freely. im so thankful to t97 for writing such a lovely character. HAPPY BIRTHDAY XIAO CEAN I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!

He's a good boy

🥺 but make it

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that "How many of tumblr's favorite movies have you seen?" list that's been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn't on here in 2013 or so, but you're telling me you made a list of "tumblr's favorite movies" that doesn't include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I'm a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn't sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list -- though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I've lurked in over the years. For what it's worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I've been here for over a decade. But if there's anything that truly doesn't feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn't seem to find Goncharov among the website's listings)

Finally the king himself ✨

It's very endearing to me how many people are willing to keep an eye on a video feed so they can push a button and let a fish in the Netherlands get to the other side of a dam.

It is genuinely baffling to me, in a very kind and positive way, especially coupled with the local news continually going several shades of 'wtf, this thing is a roaring success again and we don't quite get why'. They've already quadrupled their capacity for simultaneous clicks and it's still nowhere near enough and there's just... Bewilderment.

But to come back to point 1- Citizen Science fills a hole in the soul that wanted to go out on adventures and discover things when we were younger, but the study of it was hard or we didn't have the money or our schools were garbage. But you don't have to have a degree to do things like... press a button or download and use an app, or count or transcribe notes.

Anyways- here's some Citizen Science links if the Fish Doorbell makes you feel happy and you yearn for more ways to help scientists do stuff:

Foldit (folding proteins)

Fathomverse (sea animals)

Project Monarch (butterflies)

Bioblitz, an event where citizens identify as many species in an area within a period of time

Species Watch (animal species)

BOINC’s Compute for Science

Zooniverse is a website that hosts information on many citizen science projects

Label trees in aerial photos

Count cells in fossils and modern leaves

Digitize Atmospheric Data

Count penguins

US-based Citizen Science Database

eBird (bird identification)

Merlin (bird identification by sound)

iNaturalist (nature identification)

MapSwipe (collaboration between several Red Cross organizations and Doctors Without Borders, update vital geospatial data)

Smithsonian Archives Transcription Center

What a lad

I LOVE his buddy who stands behind him to be his extra leg when he does the jive like they have CLEARLY COORDINATED THAT BEFORE

I missed it at first, but his buddy who does the leg movement doesn't have an arm, so the guy without a leg does the arm movement for him. They ABSOLUTELY have done this before lol

tired advisor ft his king

Dragon Xie Lian rrrrrrr

reblog to give your headache to elon musk instead

My headache disappeared 3 minutes before I even saw this post, so I'm glad to know it exists outside the rules of linear time
