The Japanese city of Toyama gets so much winter snowfall that the highways become snow tunnels when a path is finally cleared in March. The snow tunnels, which have walls as high as 66 feet, were originally created as a route to get supplies to a hotel atop Mt. Tateyama, but they’re so unique that they eventually became a tourist attraction known as the ‘snow valley walk.’ Source Source 2 Source 3
In honor of our weekend of winter weather, we’re taking a look back at another snowy day. Here’s a picture of people getting on the 34th street streetcar (possibly the route of today’s M34 bus). Starting with the horsecar in the 1830s, NYC’s trolleys ferried people to their destinations for decades and even gave Brooklyn’s baseball team its name. Dodgers being short for “trolley dodgers”. Unfortunately, the last of NYC’s trolleys faded away in the mid-1950s but it would seem that possible ideas and plans for a resurgence of streetcars are being bandied about. Stay warm today everyone! #NYChistory #NYAtItsCore

Despite my Brooklyn roots and having lived in the NYC area most of my life I never knew why the baseball team was called the Dodgers until reading this post! How do I love thee, MCNY tumblr? Let me count the ways…
Thank you for the above historic details and comments….
Riders On The Storm - The Doors
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house we’re born
Into this world we’re thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
There’s a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin’ like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If you give this man a ride
Sweet family will die
Killer on the road, yeah
….1971.
Both pretty much the same except being popular is the un-paid version…

Dave Brubeck - Winter Wonderland
This would’ve been a good piece for Schroeder on “A Charlie Brown Christmas”.
However,Dave Brubeck’s solo version was released over 30 years later in 1996.
I’m not sure who the artist is. If you do, let me know and I’ll properly credit the artist.
Edit: Artist- Lucia Heffernan
Well it’s obvious that the cat is the artist.
This is very good. Idea taken from Norman Rockwell, his own “self portrait”….

this post will be updated as I find more websites to add! please check with the original before reblogging to see if there’s an updated version, and message me with corrections or more suggestions if you have them!!
websites in red have explicitly forbidden the posting of NSFW content. websites in orange allow certain types of NSFW content or have questionable / unclear guidelines.
(so people will stop telling me i forgot them)
edit: please stop commenting on this post to self-promote your porn accounts on other sites. those replies / reblogs will be deleted or hidden.
please note that every site on this list will have pros and cons, and i haven’t listed them here since this post would be a mile long otherwise. please do your research before moving completely over to another site in case they have policies you disagree with.
also, because I see a lot of misinformed people ranting about this: deviantart does not own the art you post. some years ago hot topic stole a ton of art from DA and sold it on merchandise and people assumed that DA gave them permission to do it despite there being literally zero evidence for that claim. DA explictly states in their TOS that you retain copyright and sole license of the art you post.
and related, mastodon does not allow or condone CP or pedophilia. the people spreading this info are misinformed about what mastodon is. it is not an exact twitter clone; anyone anywhere can host a mastodon instance using their personal computer as a server, which means mastodon as a company can’t do jack shit to moderate them. what they DO is permanently block all users from every other instance from viewing or interacting with that instance, and add that instance to a publicly viewable list along with the reason for the block. please give their post about anti-abuse measures a read before making snap judgements.
