Hopes And Dreams

Had a dream I saw blog on tumblr with "irradiated blogs DNI" in the description and when I looked through their posts I discovered there were some blogs with "uranium code" in their css that would expose you to literal radiation if you looked at them.

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 👍

Do you know what its like to be trans?

some of my favourite sign fails <3

This is my first time hearing about Zepotha can someone catch me up

the thing about zepotha is it's literally just the worse goncharov. they WISH they could be goncharov. but instead of making any actual content even if it's just a shitty photoshop edit theyre just going on other people's content and bombarding the comment section with omg you look just like maxine from zepotha!!!

i want to see edits scraped together from five different 80s slasher films, i want to see cosplays, fake movie posters, in depth slideshow analysis videos. COMMIT TO YOUR BIT

I will never understand the people who say that those who support Palestine are anti-Semitic.

Life in Palestine before the war. I know it's small but please read it

So, I follow this “bad commercial interior design” Facebook page and-

Reblog to make it die faster

Like, just for comparison, the Free Palestine tag has 1k recent posts, whereas all the other Trending tags (aside from the major outlier that is the Halloween tag, which has 6k~ recent posts) have either less than 1k recent posts or up to 1.5k~ recent posts.

Something is up.

We're so back
