Belle of the Pthalo Blues: Kindly young thing with a voice like an angel doesn't. She wasn't the first girl to look up at the night sky and sing stories up into it--but she was the first girl the night sky sung stories back down to.

Castaway Joe: Huckster, criminal, a mortal who stole a shipment of divinity from the flagship of the gods. Smugglers say that when a job goes bad and all the contraband has to be jettisoned, it was Castaway Joe demanding a tithe.

Hungry Sal: Boy kept eatin' and eatin' until one day he looked up and realized he was only his mouth, and he was still hungry. We still don't know what's behind the black holes but we sure do know how to tell tales about it.

Momma Knows-Best: Sailors of the stars know their place is out where sky meets void, but then again, girls grow up knowing a lot of things that aren't true. Momma Knows-Best lives at every port you might stop a shipment by (and some you wouldn't), making sure all her family remembers to come back down into real-grav for an actual meal every once in a damn while.

Poppa Impatience: Momma might want her kids to come for dinner, but after they ate it's Poppa Impatience that reminds them they've all got work to do that they ain't getting done. God of foremen and slave-drivers, allegedly, though we ain't never seen one that wasn't the other.

Aliens for April…… why not

Bro please be nice aliens, like, please

WOAHHH that’s so cool!!!

Me expecting a joke video and waiting to see what hilarious item flys by on camera:

Me seeing what actually happens:

Reblogging again for the “April Aliens” part

Why not?

Sorry dudes, it’s the Kaguya Cadillac science mission

catching that mission on camera by accident is just as cool as aliens.

“I was looking at the moon and I accidentally captured footage of a once in a lifetime lunar mission that’s mapping the surface of the moon a quarter of a million miles away…” Now THAT’S COOL!

hey so it’s march now aka the beginning of endometriosis awareness month and i feel obligated to remind you that debilitatingly painful periods are not normal. if you or someone you know is ending up sick or bedridden every month, you are not crazy and deserve medical attention from someone who will take you seriously

hey it’s march again let’s get this post circulating again

some info about it

awareness month

If you are an adult on the receiving end of sexual attention from a minor, the only appropriate response is a firm, non-negotiable “no.” Not an “I would, but the darn law…” not, “maybe when you’re eighteen,” a “no.” It is your job as the adult to be responsible, and to not abuse the power differential between you. What the minor wants is irrelevant to your obligations. The only appropriate response is “no.”

I cannot reblog this hard enough! Talking to the gay guys here too!

Dormant Predators

This is why I have this. Even if they can get the lock opened they can’t push the door open. Got it at Lowes for $20.

reblog for that last bit to save a life

If you’re like me and have a large gap under your front door (someone could take a stick and just poke the leaning stick style door jam out), I recommend the Addalock. It’s small, perfect for traveling, and this lock is CRAZY. It’s so simple but the door does not move.

You can’t see it from the other side, either. It also cost about $20, and I can’t recommend it enough. Easy to travel with, too! Great for Air BnBs!

That’s why I have these on my doors. They get drilled into the side and once its flipped over the door nothing is getting it open. Not the door being unlocked nothing, I’ve unlocked the door and pulled and pushed as hard as I could and it didn’t budge. When I go on a trip this is what I use and when I’m home I leave it on too. No one is getting in here.

Okay I know that it is necessary for many but what do you do if you need medical attention and you’re not able to open the door from the inside? Can the fire department get through these at least?  

Yes. The fire department can and will break down your door if necessary, it’s one of the reasons they have axes; it’s entirely possible for door frames to melt/expand/seize or otherwise become unopenable during a house fire but the door itself can be hacked down. Or the window. In rare cases, the wall. Firefighters don’t fuck around with collateral damage when lives are at stake.

Sharing for all the safety items!!

Informative. Please share!

bring back the habits that made you happy as a child. there’s no reason you should ever have to give up harmless things that bring you joy. you don’t have to age out of having fun. finger paint. write mediocre fanfiction and questionable poetry. put chocolate chips in your waffles. sing in the bath, and while working in the yard, and while washing your hands. hammer tunelessly on a piano. spin in circles until you fall down. climb a tree. just because you’re now in charge of your life doesn’t mean you’re expected to give up on the things that make life feel worth living

“When learning to draw anything,” animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston observe, “it is important that the artist go to the source. Afterward he can make any use of his knowledge that he chooses, but in the beginning he must study the real object. Nothing matches the learning that comes from feeling an animal’s bones and muscles and joints, to discover how they are put together and how far they can move in any direction; it is always surprising.”

hmmm

Some more "hmmmm"s from this Twitter because WHAT THE FUCK??

all these tweets feel like they're auto-generated who the fuck thinks like this

Are the cishets ok?

Absolutely not

Oh my God its true

how are yall gonna share this all and not mention that the muppet with the fraggle rack is named Arieola Borealis

This is the epitome of a blonde. Seeing a young confident and free brunette in bright colors and the blonde stares from afar. Trying to effectively utilize Swami Sivananda’s thought power teachings to manifest terrible things for the brun. She is silly. Try as she may. Most brunettes are well versed in psychic protection.

these are lesbians

Can you ever let women have toxic femininity for like five seconds.

Traditional forestry is so fascinating actually. Humans used to be much more invested in sustainable practices*, and they got creative about it.

Take coppicing. Coppicing is wild, ya’ll. Young trees get repeatedly cut down so that they regenerate with extra limbs. You know, like a freaking hydra.

This doesn’t harm the trees. In fact, since a regularly coppiced tree stays in the juvenile stage, this effectively makes the tree IMMORTAL, unable to be touched by age and the ravages of time. Also coppicing has been practiced since literal prehistory and has a lot of ecological benefits. In return, humans get a theoretically infinite supply of wood from one tree, instead of having to plant new ones.

tldr if you cut off a tree’s head it will grow more heads like a hydra and become functionally immortal.

*before colonizers realized they could steal all the land & trees they desired

this website has ruined me for all others

@neil-gaiman I think we’re getting closer to finding your stick-people

coppicing, and also its brother pollarding, are way more insanely useful then youd assume the more you think of it consider that for almost all of human history we lived in a wooden world, wood was the go to material for just about any building project, tool making, as well as your fuel source- coppicing and pollarding allow you to harvest not just wood, but specifically long straight pieces of wood that you can allow them to grow to your desired thickness rather then hunt through a forest looking for just the right sized branch or take a larger piece of wood and waste time shaving it down chair leg? broom handle? ladder rungs? polearm shaft? you literally have a tree that grows wood in exactly the size and shape you want, and for making things like wattle for your houses walls or basket weaving its hard to imagine an easier way to just aquire infinite thin supple branches for free bonus, because you left the root system and often at least some of the leaves, the coppiced tree regrows those branches waaaay faster then waiting for a new tree to grow, instead of waiting for a new tree to grow seven to twelve years thick enough to turn it into an axe handle this system will only take about five or so years and will produce at least nine at once of the same thickness bonus bonus, in many cases you can shape the young branch in its rapid growth so that when harvested its already in the shape you need it to be rather then having to carve, bend, or fork this wood after the fact which would take time and effort you can let the tree do- anything from pitchforks to scythe handles, why shape when you can just bend the wood while its growing with some twine to hold it in place? bonus bonus bonus, anywhere that has livestock requires you to provide hay during the winter to keep your animals alive, and typically this requires you to set asside land just to grow grass, and hours of backbreaking labor to mow it with a scythe just to prepare food for your sheep and cows for winter, which is largely why youd butcher most of your animals around christmas so you wouldnt have to feed them over winter and thus save yourself busting ass to make hay…. buuut if you are coppicing or pollarding you already produce bushels of leaves that were attached to those branches, and hey, thats free hay you can just set asside instead bonus bonus bonus bonus, these thin branches sprouting like crazy are also ideal to just shove into the ground to grow more trees. literally just make pirated copies of trees whevever you have soft ground. hadnt you ever wondered how medieval europe never ran out of forests despite every home having to burn through firewood 24/7 for hundreds of years and any form of industry needed a steady supply of charcoal

people also do this by accident and inadvertently create indestructible invasive honeysuckle bushes that can only be killed with carefully-applied herbicide and a tremendous amount of patience

please stop mowing your honeysuckle and remove it from the ground completely… please…

This is such a cool concept.  A story idea for elves or other long-lived societies in particular.  

I’m’a file it away with this similar thread, which includes this picture:

Tips On How To Tell The Kids About A Big Move

Being a dad is a big job, and sometimes the job requires you to make big announcements.  When you get a shot at your dream job, it may not be local.  In that case, you’ll have to know how to break the news to the family without breaking hearts along the way.  

Change is tough for most people, and your kids will want a heads up on the move.  Take a moment to read through a few tips on how to tell the kids you have to move, and break the news in a more encouraging way.  

Tell the kids with time to spare

Kids may seem resistant to change, but they are super resilient when it comes to change as well.  Tell them about the upcoming move with time to spare.  Before you ever hire a moving company to move your stuff, let the kids know about the plan.  They need time to really process the idea of moving to a new place.  

It’s also helpful if the kids know that they are the first people you are telling about the move, so they feel like they are included and a part of a team.  Get them involved with the idea, and hear what they have to say.  

Allow them to ask questions

Let your kids ask all the questions they can possibly imagine about the move, and don’t lose patience.  They may need to ask you ten questions a day until the day you move to feel comfortable about the process.  Accommodate their needs.  

Kids learn by asking questions, and you’re their dad.  Teach them.  Be open, and be honest.  Let them know as many (age appropriate) details about the upcoming change as their little hearts desire.  

Allow them to have feelings 

Your kids probably have a whole lot to say about moving to a new place, and it’s important that you allow them to feel the emotions that arise.  Allow for a certain level of angst and stubbornness regarding the move, and remember that they’re kids.  

Be clear that the decision is final

It’s important to consistently show the children that you are sure of your decision.  They need to feel sure too, and they feed off of your vibe.  If kids sense that you are scared or uncertain, they will also feel scared and uncertain.  

Reassure them that you’re a team

When your kids are feeling unsure about the upcoming events, it helps to reassure them that you’re all in this together.  Kids want to feel like they’re a part of a group, and your family is the ultimate group/team.  Give the kids little jobs along the way as you prepare for the move, and keep them engaged on move day as well.
