Honestly, Tvyek is pretty miraculous. It’s permeable to water vapor but not to water, it’s nearly impossible to tear, but can be easily cut. It’s cheap and made entirely without binding chemicals. In addition to being used for wristbands, it’s used to wrap construction sites to keep out water during construction, for tear-resistant envelopes at Fed-Ex, coveralls for mechanics, and my wallet, actually.

Fun tip, though it looks like paper, Tyvek is plastic, and cannot be recycled with paper.

Finnish trains have a different diet

[bisexual-engineer-girl]

Little-known fact: although most people believe trains to be herbivores, they are actually opportunistic omnivores and will consume meat should it be made readily available.

I see Finland has solved the trolley problem

[very-gay-alkyrion]

This train hit THREE moose and couldn't be cleaned before it pulled into the main station (mainly due to the blood being frozen on)

I guess you could say it... finnished those moose off...

in Finland, it is illegal to kill a bear when it’s hibernating. If you ask a hunter why that is, a number of them will tell you it’s wrong simply because it is the law, and they don’t make a distinction between what is right, and what is legal. Most people like that are perfectly normal, decent and respectable people, just like the rest of us.

 But if you ask people who think about things, the answer is vague. Killing a hibernating bear would just feel… impolite? You can’t fucking shoot a man when he’s sleeping, that’s just fucking rude. It’s just not the right thing to do.

 Long before hunting laws were established in Finland, you couldn’t kill a sleeping bear, and what commands you is something older than law: tradition. Even at a time when hunting was a matter of life and death, and a bear fighting for its life is mainly a matter of death, you just didn’t kill a hibernating bear, you have to wake it up first. Hunters risked their lives, the lives of their brothers and everyone in the hunting party, who were friends, family and men that they loved, to give the bear a fighting chance.

 In the modern time, the hunting season of bears is in the summer, for the warmest summer months. There are many reasons for why they are allowed to tread safely in autumn and to sleep in peace through the cold months, almost all of which are rational and scientific, and do not touch the old traditions.

 Old faith says a living thing has many souls - henki, luonto, itse. Plants only have one - the one that wills them to grow. Animals have two, both the spark of life and nature that enables them to act. A human being also has the third, one that makes them a person, personality, itse, literally “self”. But the soul that travels in your dreams is not the soul that defines a human - animals have that one as well. When your dog runs in her sleep, her soul is elsewhere, where a dog is needed.

 One’s waking soul is elsewhere when they sleep and dream. A bear’s soul is somewhere else when they are hibernating - there are two words for “hibernation” in finnish, one of which is talviuni, “winter sleep”, and that is the one that bears have - and if you kill a sleeping bear, their soul is not in the body, it is still out there, and it can find you, and as a revenge for killing its body, Ghost Bear will kill your entire fucking family.

[official-cisphobe]

For added context:

The bear is one of the most if not the most unique and worshipped creature in Finnish tradition.

They are the spirits, protectors, and kings of the forest. The bear is/was considered a holy and sacred animal akin to a god, as well as the closest thing to a non-human ancestor, they are family. They are your brother, your grandfather.

The bear’s spirit could be invoked through spells, and as a magical guide or “power animal” it is charismatic, strong, courageous, and self-assured. The bear’s spirit also contains gentleness, motherly protection, as well as brotherhood.

According to old spells and poems, the bear was created by the heavens, born from stars, and brought down with silver ribbons.

Yeah I wouldn’t want Ghost Bear coming for me either.

Less magic schools. More magic universities. Unlearn the simplified models of your secondary education. Discover how to reference scrolls written by a wizard possessed by a different wizard. Identify bias in the voices that whisper from beyond the veil. Have your institution be accused of promoting a Merlinist agenda. Become addicted to energy potions.

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

Don't become a housewife.

[ladyfoxfire]

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.

If your spouse fights you on any of this, then don’t quit your job. The tradwife to poverty pipeline is real, and so is financial abuse.

[dressedupliketheking]

also, many women/people experience controlling behaviour and domestic violence from their partner for the first time during pregnancy. don’t risk thinking “he’s just stressed, it’ll get better when the baby comes” because it won’t. neither you and your child will ever be safe with that man. get out as early and safely as you can

one time in college i was in a creative writing class and this guy was holding up the critique with what i can only describe as like cinemasins dinging another student's writing. and at some point the professor said "the plot is the fork and the prose is the meal. you are critiquing the taste of the fork"

People Expected Science…

Not Symbolism Like This…

✅ CERN Houses One Of The Most Powerful Machines Ever Built Deep beneath Switzerland and France… scientists use the Large Hadron Collider to recreate conditions from the beginning of the universe itself.

✅ But Outside The Facility… Stands Something Unexpected A massive statue of Shiva. In Hinduism, Shiva is associated with destruction and transformation—often connected to the cosmic cycle of creation and collapse.

✅ And The Internet Immediately Connected The Symbolism Because after the first atomic bomb test… J. Robert Oppenheimer famously quoted: “Now I am become Death… the destroyer of worlds.”

✅ Then Things Became Even Stranger Old promotional videos, bizarre ceremonies, and cryptic imagery connected to CERN started spreading online. People began asking why a scientific organization used symbolism that felt so dark and unsettling.

✅ CERN Says The Statue Is Cultural The Shiva statue was gifted by India and represents the cosmic dance of creation and destruction in Hindu philosophy. Scientists reject all conspiracy theories surrounding it.

✅ But That Didn’t Stop The Fear Because to many people… placing a “destroyer” statue outside a machine designed to probe the fabric of reality itself feels deeply unsettling.
