The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

unfuckablebogtroll

☝️🤓 it’s because the further you move toward the earth’s poles, the lower the angle of the sun is at the hottest parts of the day, meaning the radiation hits your whole body, causing it to feel 10-20 degrees warmer than the thermometer reading will tell you. People from tropical climes, aka close to the equator, are used to the sun’s radiation hitting a much smaller target- their head and shoulders.

Also the further you move toward the poles the more pronounced the difference between the length of day and night is. Worst part of a far-north (or south) heatwave is it doesn’t get dark long enough for meaningful cooling.

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

An Oven is a kind of European above-ground umu typically constructed from metal and ceramic. Originating in the 18th century, ovens are primarily used for preparing several kinds of Western-style hāngī, such as Sunday roasts, casseroles, and pies, which are cooked in various types of specialised poti. Ovens are usually constructed off-site in dedicated facilities before being installed in the whareumu, or kitchen, of a European whare. They are typically not able to be moved once installed, quite unlike umu which may be constructed anywhere and are readily deconstructed and moved as needed. Another limitation of ovens is that due to their small internal volume relative to their overall size, they are generally restricted in the amount of kai they can produce. An oven will produce only enough kai to feed a few people, whereas a hāngī cooked in an umu can feed an entire village.

years ago i got into so many arguments saying diagnosis itself isn't a privilege. it can be a manifestation of other privileges (e.g. rich, white, educated, country of residence) but by itself it is just one aspect of a larger system and what you really want is proper healthcare, which is not the same thing as a diagnosis. also be real. no aspect of being disabled - an oppressed class - is a privilege. and i was right

Pixel post dividers for everyone! It's not much, but feel free to use them if you'd like. I don't know the ideal size for these, so let me know if they're too tall. I can make them a bit shorter next time.

Anti-transmasculinity rearing up online at the same time as biphobia is ramping up at the same time as other queer people wanna "drop the T" again at the same time as exorsexism is getting heated from trans people worried enbies are gonna drag us down at the same time that nonbinary folks are crawling under an umbrella of "close enough to trans" to distance themselves from xenogenders and "attention-seekers" and transtrenders at the same time that queer spaces are abandoning disabled people at staggering levels at the same time "twink" is becoming an acceptable way to call someone you hate a fag because real men are masculine predators and real women are dainty delicate little dollthings and I'm sure none of these things have anything to do with one another and are definitely not a sign of acceptance of fascist talking points to validate your existence to the people you think will protect you, no, no, there must be some inherent deficiency in 650 different groups of people and thank God© I'm one of the few morally sound people in a sea of Degeneracy

tumblr cannot take Any amount of confrontation omg. why are so many people getting on you for Racists Should Feel Scared Of Being Racist. its like antiracism 101.

it’s all “kill all fascists” until someone asks for actual antiracist action. its all “punch nazis” until a Black woman says racists should not be made to feel comfortable in their racism

(and by saying this i’m not saying You were saying Punch Racists, i’m pointing out how insane it is that people talk so much game about being antiracist and are still deeply concerned with white people who “don’t know they’re being racist” or whatever)

Yeah 😅 I don't quite understand it myself.

This year has been the year of me realizing that things like

"racists shouldn't be comfortable being racist"

"saying the n word is not funny nor acceptable no matter what"

"hanging with white supremacists makes you complicit with their white supremacy", and

"no amount of being queer cancels out being racist"

are all apparently things that are just... Too hard to grasp?

And it's really wild because it exposes who thinks they're the ones being pointed out. Because I've never in my life felt the need to defend someone's right to be racist to someone else. Like... Who are y'all fighting for? Who is this imaginary other group that Needs To Be Protected, so badly, that racism just Has To Happen? That it just Can't Be Responded To? And why do y'all always think that We have to be the sacrifice for that?

What CAN I ask you to do? If I can't ask you to kick bigots out your spaces, if I can't ask you to ask questions or hold peers accountable, if I can't ask you to read books or self reflect or give up the occasional form of entertainment... What can I ask of you? How are you gonna help me? Why should I trust you have my best interest in mind when you aren't willing to do ANYTHING that suggests allyship? Why do you think I should trust you?

If the system ain't broke, don't fix it, I guess! Accounting may not be the oldest profession, but someone had to keep the books for them.

I mean, in theory I know that Excel is based on the structure of earlier accounting technology that's been around for hundreds of years -- what do we think we did to track commerce before computers? -- but it still kind of blows my mind to, for example, look at my ancestor's journal from a whaling voyage in 1770 and see spreadsheets in the back.

According to the book I'm reading, proto-Cuneiform writing seems to have actually started as spreadsheets to keep track of resources rather than as a way to record language or express ideas.

The administrators of that extremely early city had to keep track of lots of things, and doing this by memory alone was a nightmare. These spreadsheets were devised as a solution to that as an evolution of an earlier system that used clay tokens and balls.

Spreadsheets are older than written language as we currently understand it.
