this is a bug

Chocolate guy has learned how to make corrugated cardboard. he is a powerful eldritch being who cannot be contained. The only reason we seem to be alive is because his interests are exclusively in the making of delicious lifelike desserts.

This guy is my new hero. I LOVE learning about native food plants that just grow everywhere without human help.

The database is a little clunky to use (especially on a phone), but still loads of excellent information.

Here’s their website - Food Plant Solutions - and they can use volunteers! And $ of course. What they really need help with is connecting with NGOs/groups on the ground already working in countries, to get them access to the database. They also need help from formally trained agronomists, people good with website stuff, and people good at marketing / getting the word out about their project.

Lol

you’re just gonna leave this in the tags?

You know how people sometimes get a cat by just having a random stray cat with no collar and no chip walk in and sit on the couch like "yo fucknuts I live here now", and the people just go "well fuck, guess I gotta go get a litterbox then."

Now consider: Humans doing that to the fae. Not being captured by the fae folk, not taken against their will but stubbornly walking in to their realm and refusing to leave before one of them agrees to take this damn creature. Faeries telling each other "naww come on, you can't make it leave, it already ate your food. Everyone knows you gotta keep them if you've fed them."

And another faery yells back "I did not fucking feed that thing, it climbed into my pantry and was eating flour straight out of the bag!"

TIL that a recent study out of the University of Kansas found that it takes about 50 hours of socializing to go from acquaintance to casual friend, an additional 40 hours to become a “real” friend, and a total of 200 hours to become a close friend.

Socializing speedrun (Any %)

This is why it was so much easier to make friends when you were in school; you were trapped with those people all day Monday to Friday. It’s OK that it’s harder to make really good friends now that you’re an adult

Yes, this! It’s also why regular get together are so useful. If you want to make friends as an adult? Join a book club, go to a craft meet up, find an excuse to hang out w/ approximately the same people once a week for a couple of hours. As you get to know them, invite them out other places. Yes, it’s a pain to have to do the work to socialize, but if you want the friends, you have to trap yourself with the other people.

Reblogging for all my mutuals who have asked “Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult?”

“if you want the friends, you have to trap yourself with the other people” sounds so sinister. 

It becomes very very evident when an author has never interacted with small children before. PLEASE stop writing 4 year olds with baby voices, I promise you they do not answer in short sentences the way a baby might. They can and Will start monologing

#i have read supervillain speeches less verbose than some 4 y.o. who just learned 60 turtle fun facts#please understand#1 y.o. = single words#2 y.o. = phrases/frustration with being misunderstood#3 y.o. = you will understand if this child has to suffocate you by using all oxygen in the room to explain#4 y.o. = probably not necessary to use all O2 for you to 100% understand their point. but they saw a bug and the world must know.#5 to 10 y.o. = keep that 4 y.o. enthusiasm. then add sass. vocab. and begin the sarcasm skill tree.

There was so much that simply couldn’t be covered in such a short post; not to mention a breadth of research that feels like it should be must read material for this topic.

A huge thank you to willatheewisps and a.hearth.witch (on instagram) for going over this prior to posting.

Let us know in the comments if you’re interested in a post going over the origins of the Christian Zionist movement, as well as how it inspired Jewish Zionism.

Did you know that it was a “proto-Christian Zionist” Church of Scotland clergyman & author Alexander Keith who coined the phrase, “land without a people and a people without a land” in his 1843 book?

I’m reblogging this to reply to you because the notes are restricted. You asked to be pointed in the direction of someone who believes this…let me introduce you to the entire congregations of all 3 churches I attended as a child. Why did we attend 3 different churches? Because my dad was and still is a crowd follower. When his church bestie went somewhere else and said “the spirit” was moving more over there, off we went.

This is a very popular mindset in my neck of the woods. It was only 2 years ago I overheard him on Skype with his fiancée telling her the Palestinians basically needed to get out and “leave The Holy Land to the Jews and if not…oh well.” In a conversation where he was shrugging off and cheering on genocide, because in his mind it’s the first step toward the rapture.

In which he’ll be one of the first ones drawn up, of course.

Now, having said that, I will not be entertaining any replies from you that have even a hint of skepticism. You will simply be blocked. You asked to see such a person, I obviously can’t introduce you to my dad and a couple hundred people who live in my town. But this is a very real, very dangerous mindset.

But there’s always John Hagee

"homosexuality is unnatural! there's only two genders! it's a sin-"

I'm sorry, have you seen NATURE???

and there's so many more species than this that exhibit homosexuality, varying genders, etc. SO! MANY!

it's very much a natural thing. it always has been. unfortunately, while homosexuality is found in many species, homophobia is only found in one

ALSO THE ARTIST IS HUMON, FIND THEM AT HUMONCOMICS.COM!! was so sure I had included that but apparently I forgot, so sorry!

this is from an Australian youtube channel where they go to hat tower and drop things

Water doesn’t compress very much, so once it hit it’s terminal velocity, it was basically a solid ball, not a liquid. This is why you can use water to cut things if you have a high enough pressurized jet of it.

The reverse POV of “if you’re too high, hitting the water is like hitting concrete”

Voting is not ritual magic binding you to our current system and rendering you unable to even contemplate more radical change.

Sayeth my friend. It's never "instead of voting", guys, it's always "as well as". Tactical voting and mutual aid. Nothing stopping you from having a revolution as well as turning up at the ballot box.

And look! It works! It helps! It mattered! We did some good shit last night across the country. Nothing huge, nothing earth shattering. We moved the needle forward. We took steps forward. We made progress! That's what matters. We have to keep that up. We have to do that again. And again and again. No matter big or small things. We moved forward and we will keep on moving forward as long as we keep showing up and doing the hard thing even when it's not fun and sexy and thrilling. Just like last night. Congratulations 🎉👏🏻 we adulted well and it made a difference.

In Ohio y'all ratified abortion as a right in your state constitution.

In Kentucky y'all re-elected a progressive governor and kept a weirdo Trump supporter asshat out.

In Virginia y'all gained control of BOTH congressional house & senate.

In Pennsylvania y'all put a progressive woman Justice on your Supreme Court.

And all across the nation y'all told Moms For Liberty where to shove their NAZI book burning tactics.

November 7th 2023 was a VERY good night.
