my friend just told me that there's a secret second dashboard that solely contains posts from people you've turned on post notifications for, and when i click the link in the messages it opens it within the tumblr app, so the tumblr app also has a secret second dashboard for post notification blogs, and the only way to access it is to open the link for it within the app.

i literally love tumblr

Sybok double checks Jim’s numbers, then triple checks them, and normally that would get him a some sarcastic indignation, but instead Jim just paces and rubs his hands against his thighs and simultaneously looks his age and at the same time far too old.

“The ion storms are unpredictable,” he says finally. “It’s possible we’ll be able to get a signal out to Starfleet before the spring.”

“Well, anything’s possible,” Jim agrees. “Seventy three years of ion storm data says it’s not fucking likely, though.” He runs his hands through his hair. “The season just started, if I’d started a few weeks ago, we could have got a message out before the storms rolled in-”

“Hey,” he says sharply. “We’re lucky you discovered it this early. We can start conserving food now, and maybe - maybe we’ll get lucky again.”

Fall has just started, the season of harvest that gets them through the austere winter. Tarsus IV doesn’t get cold, not like it can on Earth, but it does get dry. Sybok had actually been looking forward to the winter, since the climate would more closely resemble what he grew up with on Vulcan.

That had been when he’d though food would be abundant, if a combination of heavily salted and flash frozen.

Jim gives him a look that reminds him, horribly, of his father. “What’s the official Vulcan stance on luck again?”

He glares. “It is illogical to ignore the possibility of survival just because of a low probability.”

“That’s not it and you know it,” he laughs, humorless.

“Maybe we can develop some sort of pesticide to save the remaining crops.

Jim’s reaction is pure offense, which is at least an improvement on hopelessness. "Okay, I didn’t graduate from the VSA, but I did run these experiments myself, you know. It’s all already infected almost all of our crops. They’re a goner, and everyone is going to figure that out in a couple of weeks when everything rots from the inside out.”

Yeah. They can probably synthesize something to counteract these parasites for the next planting season, but that depends on them being around come spring.

“We won’t all die,” Sybok says quietly, because many planets have endured similar circumstances in their past, however distant. “There are always survivors.”

Jim presses his lips together. “Yeah. Because Vulcans’ strict vegetarian diet really lends itself it to cannibalism.”

Sybok’s stomach rolls but he keeps his face neutral. “Technically, as I am the only Vulcan on planet, it would not be cannibalism.”

There are always survivors, but their survival comes at a price. He already knows that it’s a price he’s unwilling to pay.

He should have listened to Amanda.

TECHNICALLY NOT CANNIBALISM AAAAAlosing it over that line lolstar trekstar trek fic

This is going to be an unpleasant post but I need to talk to y’all about heat stroke in dogs. I am an ER vet and I am seeing firsthand the death toll that this heat wave is taking on our pets. In the past two weeks, for every single weekend shift I have worked, we have had at least one DOA with a body temperature over 107 degrees. One of them had simply been on a 20 minute walk at 5pm. All of them were brachycephalic (short faced breeds like pugs and french bulldogs). Their owners were in shock that this could happen so quickly, and their grief lingers with me.

If you have a dog, and especially if you have a brachycephalic dog, you need to familiarize yourself with the signs of heat stroke. Do not take your dogs out in the heat of the day, be aware of the pavement temperature, and always have fresh water available for them. When I am outdoors with my dog I am checking on him constantly. This heat wave is extremely serious; I need you to keep yourself and your pets safe.

Robin Hood and Little John walkin' through the forest--

alright! so! early robin hood ballads and narratives don't have an origin story for little john, but a later ballad (robin hood and little john) does. they fight on a bridge in it, but I like looking at illustrations, so I've swapped out the bridge for that tree peaking out of the panel in the first panel bc I enjoy louis rhead's illustrations a lot.

this is some kind of introduction scene after they fight and climb out of the river!
