Hello! My name is Ray, but also Annalisa or Anna. I'm a person from Italy with too many passions to count and too much enthusiasm to keep inside!

I love following the deep trails of wikipedia links, creating art, plants (observing, growing, being in proximity of, dreamily sighing while thinking about), walking/exploring, and generally doing things with my hands, keeping them busy. My other interests include virtually everything else there is to on on this beautiful foating rock we call "Earth".

☀️ ☀️ ☀️

I wish for the internet to be a place of community and dialogue again. My enjoyment of online spaces has heavily been shaped by the Manifesto for a New Web, and I try to always follow the Yesterweb’s Etiquette!

I am happy to chat, make friends, be social. Feel free to reach out to me here, or via email at ray@emailsnail.net! I’m not good with chats as I tend to be a bit flaky, but love emails so much! As long as you’re kind and have good intentions, I don’t mind if you’re a stranger. Say hello! :D tell me what you had for lunch or about a cool rock you found! I promise I want to hear about it. <3

Lately I've been getting into website making/indie web. My site is a wip and I only update when I have enough free time, but click the button below to check it out!

There's also some nice resources about indie web stuff in my "navigation" tabs!

Just making a post with links so I can pin it! Yay for things being organized! If you spot something not working on mobile, shoot me a message please.

I’m very happy to make friends and meet people, so don’t be shy to say hi, even if we’re not mutuals! Emails and long form messages are especially the best for me, as I can be a little scatterbrained and forget to respond to chats in a timely manner.

See you around!

Barnes and Noble booksellers are working on forming a union as well! 

https://www.reddit.com/r/union/comments/rwczci/barnes_noble_workers_want_union/

Their flagship store and New York has unionized along with 3-4 other stores! This is happening! People are tired of being seen as dollar signs and being made to work just to get to work more, to survive instead of thrive. Keep it UP. 


bellisadinosaur:

oh seems very suspicious to see the barbie movie tumblr pop up on my dash after the strike. maybe it was made before, but I’m actually seeing it now

remember:

there’s no boycott on going to see new media

but there is a promotional blackout

don’t do the studio’s marketing work for them


bellisadinosaur:

I just checked their archive. They created it Today, July 17th.

prior to the strike they did not have an official tumblr lmaoooo

don’t reblog their shit


relaxxattack:

“oh they’re not taking away chronological dashboard, well everything’s okay then” they also said in the post they’re making reblogs collapsed (like comments on twitter) so you won’t see the full conversation in a post. they also won’t get rid of tumblr live despite it being an annoying and cancerous data-miner that isn’t legal in much of the world. they won’t even let you opt out of tumblr live for more than seven days. they implemented a terrible photo viewer that mimics tiktok and makes it so you can’t zoom in on images. they took away the ability to view prev tags. they’re making it so you have to sign in with your email to view almost any thing on tumblr. they’ve already made it so you have to sign in to send asks, even on anon. they’re slowly phasing out custom blog themes.

the things that make tumblr at all usable and favored by us– the older web blog features, the anonymity– that is still being taken away. it HAS been being taken away for some time now. i am urging you people to reveiwbomb the tumblr app. force them to acknowledge that users do not like these changes.


astraltrickster:

Let me stress: Collapsing reblogs would turn tumblr into a completely different site.

A massive chunk of our site culture - arguably our entire site culture itself - is based on the collaborative nature of posts. The fact that many posts are chains of relevant additions or Bits done by multiple people is the appeal. This is not an “outdated format” or an inconvenience, it is a core function.

Also I can’t help but suspect that this partial walkback is misleading. Okay, so we still get to have a chronological dashboard, but are we going to be allowed to keep it as our default tab? Because new accounts sure fucking can’t set as such.


headspace-hotel:

Reblog chains are literally what makes tumblr posts tumblr posts


entryn17:

see cause i'm torn here i really love both the idea that chara talks casually but their speech gets extremely stilted to reflect them becoming jaded at the end of no mercy AND i love the idea that they just talk like that all the fucking time. imagine being frisk there's this 12 year old haunting your ass and they talk as if they're an elderly person


entryn17:

frisk: ignoring that you're a ghost, how old are you?

chara: if the lord sees to it, 13 in july


allerliefste:

we literally need more and better feminism


allerliefste:

we need ugly gross disgusting feminism again without conforming to aesthetics and advertisement companies i want pit hair i want leg hair i want weird haircuts i want to get rid of diet culture and ads for pink razors and make-up i want women to reject biological determinism and push away from the overwhelming tradwife narratives that social media feeds everyone ('natural hormone cycles' and 'divine feminine' and all of that shit) etc. i want more women working i want heterosexual relationships to get more balanced i also want it to be a norm for heterosexual couples to assess role assignments in the relationships and think critically about why they want children i want having children not to be something people just do because it is expected of them. I want a dyke for president. Etcetera


allerliefste:

and obviously any and all terfism falls under the biological determinism shit and does not belong in feminism

A mask/puppet of a green lion devouring the sun, an alchemical symbol representing the dissolution of gold in nitric acid and hydrochloric acid

[ID: a photo of a person in a brightly-lit room holding a papier-mâché sculpture that resembles a green lion’s face in profile, superimposed on a yellow sun. The person’s face is obscured by the sculpture. There is green fabric hanging behind the sculpture, covering part of the person’s body.]

The 4 "Basic" chicken leg colors

(ill make a post about inheritance and the genetics of them later)

White, also called pink

image

Slate, also called blue or grey

image

Willow, also called green and can be very variable in color

image

Yellow, not called anything else other then yellow.

image

And now for a bonus leg color

Solid Black, due to fibromelanism. Acts as a cover for the other leg colors so a fibro bird will always have dark leg color even if it genetically has a lighter color leg. Sometimes this color will "leak" through the birds toes or the bottom of their foot.
