[The Storms Ahead Cannot Be Won, Just Faced]

✨ABOUT✨

Hello lovely people and welcome to my blog!

💃 I’m Moss, they, white, and early 20′s

💃 Before you follow: I have a whole tag for this, but in short, exclusionists, pedos, terfs/transmeds, and proshippers can fuck off. Also feel free to ask me to tag stuff, I have an extensive tagging system and don’t mind adding to it!

💃 I don’t mind spam liking/reblogging at all hslkdjf

💃 My art is primarily posted to @mossy-rainfrog but I usually rb my stuff over here too, so you can also look through my art tag here!

💃 You can find my writing on AO3 at coulson_is_an_avenger, and everything else I haven’t crossposted to ao3 yet is organized in this post!

💃 I ramble a LOT, so feel free to block the tags ‘moss goes off in the tags’, ‘moss watches’, or ‘mossy speaks’ if they’re ever gettin on ur nerves

💃 Enjoy your stay!

(also, 2 more things:
1: if that photo has multiple fictional characters, all of the fictional characters in that photo will be your roommates.
2: for characters that can only live in certain conditions, those conditions will be ignored, and they’ll still be able to live.)

(sorry if you don't like this content, I just saw one of those "fictional character in photo roll" posts and thought I would make one.)

there is, in fact, a "platonic explanation for this" if you're not a coward

[thisvegetabledoesntfallinlove]

its so fun to see the diversity of tags on this ranging from "they're literally just standing next to each other" to "deep bonds dont have to be romantic/sexual!" to "yeah friends can fuck nasty, platonically. coward." we're all so correct, there are, in fact, a million platonic explanations for this

HEY CALIFORNIA PEOPLE!

HURRICANE ADVICE FROM A FLORIDIAN!

Make sure you've got shelf-stable food and water for everyone in the house, including pets. The rule of thumb is a gallon per person per day. Freeze water bottles if you want cold water.

Make sure you have enough meds!

Make sure you have batteries, candles, flashlights, and a manual can opener. 

Make sure your electronics, including backup batteries, are charged. Unplug things you don't want fried in case of a power surge. 

Don't tape your windows, it doesn't help and you'll just be stuck scrubbing goo off of them later.

Put a mug of frozen water in it in your freezer with a quarter on top of it. If your freezer defrosts, the ice will melt and the quarter will sink and tell you you need to throw things out.

Get everything that's not nailed to a foundation out of your yard. That dead branch hanging on by a thread? Time to get it down (it was probably time to do that three days ago, but now’s better than never).

Park away from powerlines and trees if you can. Rain makes the ground soft and then trees fall over.

Have an evacuation plan to a shelter. Evacuate if they’re telling you to.

If you start to flood, don't go in your attic. You'll get trapped if the water rises too high and you can't hack through your roof. This happened to a lot of people in Texas and Louisiana. Get ON the roof.

Be safe, be well <3

What the fuck?

???? WHAT???

Ngl, "tropical storm in death valley" was not on my 2023 bingo card.

Drainage on our roads is shitty in SoCal, don't attempt to drive through water deep enough to touch your bumpers and don't attempt to walk across moving water, water only as deep as your ankles can knock you down and sweep you away.

Predicted wind speeds are similar to strong Santa Anas, so lock things down like you would for that, though keep in mind that yeah the combination of heavy rain and wind leads to more felled trees than just wind.

Take photos of the inside of your home now; flood insurance fucking sucks here and if you're in a possible flood zone you want as much documentation of your home and belongings as possible in case you need to make a claim.

Freezing water bottles also means you've got a lot of ice in your freezer if power goes out, and safe potable water once it thaws, so freeze bottles of water to have something to keep your fridge and freezer cool and store more water regardless of if you want cold water.

"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

[madseance]

"but doesn't this risk giving the author undue credit for queer representation" I do not care about the author

The names of more than half of the United States derive from the languages of indigenous peoples.

Excitedly I thought something might finally explain the difference in pronunciation between Kansas and Arkansas

NO

STILL THE SAME FUCKING LANGUAGE

[yraelviii]

Psst! [shares a secret] The primary early explorers/colonialists in Arkansas spoke French, and they did not pronounce the final -s in Arkansas, while Kansas was colonized by English-speakers, who did pronounce the final -s in Kansas.

[porthos4ever]

White people DID fuck it up!!!! 😁

[robotsandfrippary]

Wanna be even more fucked up? There’s a town in Kansas called “Arkansas City” and while it’s usually shortened to “Ark City”, it’s pronounced “Our-kansas City.”
