One Of The Oldest And Arguably The Most Important Museum In Brazil Is Burning To The Ground As We Speak.

one of the oldest and arguably the most important museum in Brazil is burning to the ground as we speak. home to the portuguese royal family from 1808 to 1821, the Museu Nacional stored fossils, meteorites, pre-historic human skeletons and a variety of artefacts related to natural history. it holds two centuries of latin & brazilian history and now it’s all gone.

some of the things that are now lost forever: the largest collection of egyptian artefacts in latin america; the skeleton of the largest flying reptile ever found in Brazil; the oldest human fossil ever found in the country, named “Luzia” (over 11.000 y.o) and other 20 million extremely important relics and researches just burned to the ground. never to be seen again.

thanks to our government, of course, who didn’t want to pay the museum the necessary funds to make the essencial maintenances since 2014 (which by the way, costed less than a supreme federal court judge’s sallary: R$520 in a year).

another sad instance where the state’s indifference towards culture and history becomes painfully obvious. this is a massive blow to our cultural legacy.

all that in our independe week. happy independe for us, brazilians, who just lost our history and culture in a fire caused by ignorance and indifference.

PSA: How to block an anon.

Okay. So I had a friend send me some anon hate for this. Thank you friend. You know who you are~ *wink*. ALRIGHT. For those of you who get pesky anons and you suspect… they may be the same person. OR you just don’t wanna take the chance of MORE anons from that person. I’m going to tell you what to do.

You see this image here:

Now on the top one, you plainly see I underlined the X. The bottom tells you what that X means. Now we all know ‘ignore’ is the tumblr way of saying ‘block’.

What good does this do? It’s an anon! Well, just so you know, I tested this little feature with my other blog cut-throat-serenade. I sent myself an anon from there, and clicked the X. I tried to send two more (that appeared successful from Surefire’s account) after that but this account received nothing. The anons from that blog has been successfully blocked. I can no longer send myself an anon. Not like I’d need to anyway. But you get the point. 

Whoever you block… will no longer be able to send you anons on that blog. Will this tell you who they are? No. Not until one of your followers comes and asks you if you have your anon turned off or something. 

Now they can still send NORMAL asks. The user in and of themselves are not blocked and will not appear in your list. Anons are a no go forever though. 

So do yourself a favor. As TEMPTING as it is… to reply to that anon that makes you so uncomfortable. Or is trying to start drama or is sending hate….

Don’t answer them. Don’t delete them (trash can). Do yourself a favor… and IGNORE THEM. They aren’t worth your time.
