I spent the whole time worrying that she was gonna drop one so I'll tell other viewers in advance: she doesn't drop any

being a writer leads to a genuinely helpful but also very stupid kind of mindfulness where you'll be having a sobbing breakdown or the worst anxiety attack of your life and think "okay, I really need to pay attention to how this feels. so I can incorporate it into my fanfiction."

i recently got a frost burn from handling a chain that had been cooled to -120 degrees and you bet ive been taking notes on the situation

hmmm…pretty sure one of these is not quite like the others

Did an edit of the website background as a sorta warmup bc my brain has been molasses lately… so here, why not share it?

there's this word in Serbian 'vukojebina' which literally means 'the place where wolves go to fuck' but they use it to mean 'in the middle of nowhere'. it sure does the job well, but the visual stayed with me longer than I would have liked it to.

for chinese we have 鸟不生蛋, which is used to describe a land so barren and remote that not even birds would lay their eggs there.

In German we have "am Arsch der Welt", which means "at the world's ass"

In Finnish it's "Jumalan selän takana" - behind god's back.

I propose that these are all the same place. The world's ass, behind god's back, where birds would not nest and where wolves go to fuck.

Australia has "Woop Woop" (origin unknown but dating to late 1800s if not earlier) as in "they live way out in Woop Woop". "out beyond the black stump" is a similar Aussie phrase.

On another token, Poles say 'hen, hen' when describing something being far away but like, affectionately??

When I was a kid, someplace out in the sticks was "Left Armpit, Pennsylvania."

Americans do infact have the phrase "butt-fuck nowhere" which feels like an important possibile addition

Yeah, I think I just got the Bowdlerized version. :P

The Back of the Beyond, in the UK.

You can't leave this in the notes.

some interesting brazilian ones i recall are "nos cafundós do brejo" (in the ass-end of the marsh, although frankly cafundós is untranslateable), "na casa do #%$" (at the house of [curse word of choice]) and "onde o gato perdeu as botas" (where the cat lost its boots)

The onion buying Infowars is the best possible scenario. They actually understand how to report on alex, and they'll know what to do with his assets.

And remember: Alex does not get a dime from the sale. Everything goes to paying the Sandy Hook victim families.

Knowing Alex, he wants to stay in the studio with the cameras rolling while the cops come to evict him. He wants a big dramatic escalation as the deep state hoists him out of the chair.

He fact that it's the onion will take quite a bit of the wind out of those sails lol.

Also, please understand that this was Alex's last real hope for Infowars. He's not gonna go away permanently. He has plenty of connections and the right wing is always flush with money. But this is a permenant blow to Alex's status and wealth.

YALL THE ONION BOUGHT INFO WARS IN THE BANKRUPTCY AUCTION

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST POSSIBLE OUTCOME ARE YOU KIDDING ME

hi everyone. the batter will thicken as the flour hydrates. so start it a tiny bit runny and let it sit ten minutes to idk half an hour and it will be perfect. hydrated flour from rested batter also yields a significantly more tender pancake. peace and love

day 2: memories 🪷

I think one of the Worst Things about wanting to find period clothing from other cultures, is trying to find fucking casual/work clothes. Like no, I do not want to see all these fancy intricate kimonos, I want to see jinbei, and field work outfits so I don't put a damn obi on this poor boy so he has a belt to hang his knife from.

ok but i found the best picture ever

look at her she's so cute and happy i love this photo

source

This image comes from a whole gallery of Taishō era b&w photos, many of them showing everyday work clothes.

The pants she's wearing are called monpe. I just made a pair yesterday in a day.

You can learn how to make them here, but this video is in Japanese. If you have basic sewing knowledge, you should be able to get it.

There is no pattern, only a cutting guide. 2 meters of fabric is able to do it perfectly with no fabric waste whatsoever.

Perfect for people who always feel like their clothes never fit! If you are concerned about the size, here are the pants on me (5', 90lbs) and my husband (6'1, don't know but he looks like fanart of Laios).

if you think you are bigger than my husband, all you have to do is scale the rectangles up so this measurement is 1/4 of your waist measurement.

But don't worry if it isn't perfect.

You can wear them as regular pants, or over kimono.

I want you to make these pants. Make monpe and experience the joys of adjustable clothing that will stay with you for years. Experience the joy of sewing something you know will fit and be well-made and usable, with no precise measurements besides hemming them to your height. Put on these pants and feel superior because you made something that the store could never give you.

Weight fluctuations? Pregnancy? Really thick kimono? Need to wear a lot of layers? No problem. Monpe will help you. Monpe will always be there for you. You can't get that at the mall with the rest of the slave labor clothes.

This is from Primitive Technology, a YouTube channel full of unvoiced videos of a guy trying to build useful stuff from scratch out in the Queensland wilderness. He has a scientific approach and a clear love of nature, his work provides a great insight into what was possible for early humans with the tools and methods they had available to them.

reblogging to add even more context:

this is afaik the guy that started the whole “dude with a single simple tool builds a house out of only things he can find in the wilderness” style of videos!

now, what probably came to mind upon reading that are the exploitative, environmentally unconscious, and generally faked ones, but that’s not what he does. Those are imitations spawned by people trying to replicate the success of many of his videos, and not caring what they have to do in order to do it.

instead, his videos are educational, environmentally conscious, and also much more reasonable in scale since they’re legit. and from what i remember he’s not really in it for success, it’s more just something that happened incidentally.

OK Tumblr Geriatric Ward, let’s talk about your posture-

there are things you should be doing now to prevent yourself from starting to look like 🥀

Why does it matter? Future you would like to avoid the pain, limited motion, and fall risk that goes along with worsening posture.

What’s the focus?

1. Keep the flexibility in your spine

2. Stretch the muscles in the front

3. Strengthen the muscle in the back

Here are some simple things you can do daily while sitting and when you get up to go into the bathroom or the kitchen

Keep the flexibility by doing these repeated movements: 10 repetitions several times a day

The goal is to give yourself a double or triple chin. Keep your nose pointing forward, don’t let it tip up or down

Thoracic extension- use a chair with a seat back that comes up to the level of your shoulder blades. Try to bend back over the top of the chair without arching away from the seat back and without extending your neck. If the pressure from the top of the chair is uncomfortable you can place a towel there

Stretch the muscles in the front by using a door frame. This one will feel good afterwards

If this isn’t enough of a stretch you can do one side at a time. If you have the right arm up step forward with the right foot and turn slightly to the left. Then do it on the other side.

Strengthen the muscles in the back by squeezing your shoulder blades together for a count of 10 and then repeating 10 times. You can do this several times a day Hint: Don’t lift your shoulder blades up

There are lots more exercises for strengthening your back muscles but this is a good starting point and easy to do. I like doing it while driving

NOTE: I can do most of these with the cerebral palsy. In fact, a lot of these little exercises are automatically part of my physical therapy. My problem is I already have hyperlordosis, spine arthritis, and cervicogenic headache. These have helped me at least try to have a posture.

I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW GOOD THIS ADVICE IS

Why do all the other languages get the cool and appropriate words
