i love how delusional some articles of clothing are, like you read the tag and its like “hand wash only/tumble dry on low” son you are a cotton tshirt. youre going in the warsh and whatever happens in there is in gods hands
before you see something and recoil at the price, be it handmade items, services, art, whatever. when you see something and you think, "i wouldnt pay more than $15 for that," you seriously have to ask yourself: if i were offered that same $15, would i make this object? would i spend the time to teach myself this skill to get this done, for $15? would i do this service for that same $15? would that be worth my time and effort?
yeah, that handmade necklace is $140. you might only be willing to pay $40 for that same necklace, but would you make it for $40 if someone asked you to?
you want to pay the babysitter fifteen bucks for the three hours she's watching your child. but would you honestly do that for $15? would you go into a stranger's house and change their baby's diaper and care for its needs, for $15?
you think its ridiculous that this artist is charging $30 for an icon commission. would you spend years catching up to their skill level to make that same drawing, start using your skill to make some extra cash, and then spend three hours on a drawing just to get $15?
would you be willing to work for $5 an hour?
no?
then don't be angry when someone else won't.
you don't have buy the service, it's okay if some things aren't within your budget or comfort zone, and it's also okay if the product isn't worth that much money to you. but do not be angry. be glad, because you know of another person out there who isn't being exploited for their time.
i love you USPS I love you NASA i love you taxpayer funded services that actually contribute positively to society i love you libraries i love you public transport
You shouldn’t date or become serious friends/partners with someone if you can’t stomach the thought of being stuck in a car or train with them for 16 hours.
Here’s my logic:
You should be able to work together to solve unexpected problems like fixing a flat tire or getting lost in an unfamiliar station
You should feel comfortable and safe enough around this person that you can sit in comfortable silence
You should be able to keep each other interested and deal with each others boredom in a healthy way
If you’re gonna form a long term partnership with someone you should probably be able to tolerate each other while locked in a small box for a few hours

my mom called our lazy susan a sleazy susan by accident once and now I can't call it anything else
Can’t let a piece of gold like that stay in the tags.
my little cousin confidently declared that mother nature had a counterpart named daddy electric and i feel like this concept needs to be explored
Daddy Electric and Mother Nature sounds like a cute 70s act
Apayauq Reitan, the first trans women to run Iditarod, finishes last and wins the “Committed Through the Last Mile” award. The award, given by Lynden, honors Apayauq for her perseverance and commitment to finish the race through unexpected challenges. The last half of the pack of those running Iditarod faced sudden and extreme weather that caused many competitors to have to scratch and be rescued by race officials.
Apayauq had seven dogs in harness at the time of her finish and although this was not her rookie Iditarod, this was her first one she ran out and proud as an Indigenous trans women.
[tweet from Apayauq which says:
Defeating the “biological advantage of trans women” narrative by being literally the slowest musher to finish the Iditarod this year 😂😂😂]
Apparently there's an evolutionary theory that the reason why Africa has so much wild big-ass megafauna while the big-ass megafauna on all the other continents went extinct is because they evolved right beside humans, and knew us well enough to not get hunted into extinction.
So while everything from giant koalas to giant sloths barely had the time to think "what the fuck is that" before getting pierced by a spear and getting their bone marrow gently fed to babies and the toothless elderly, Africa had elephants who had all the time in the world to learn to tell apart human languages and teach the next generations of their herd which human sounds mean that this tribe won't hurt you, but humans who make this kind of sounds are a danger. And hippos learned to conclude "I think I'll fuck up this two-legged weird shit on sight."
That’s true about African Elephants being able to distinguish between human languages, BTW.
The original study they did on this is really cool, and it showed that not only can elephants distinguish languages, they respond differently depending on the general age and gender of the person spekaing. The researchers played recordings of different people speaking either Maasai or Kamba. All the speakers were saying the same thing, "Look, look over there, a group of elephants is coming."
What they found is that when presented with voices speaking Kamba, the elephants were supremely unbothered. The Kamba are mostly farmers, many work for the park services, and they rarely present a danger to elephants.
When presented with the voices of adult men speaking Maasai, the elephants drew close to each other and started investigating. The Maasai are largely cattle herders, and they sometimes come into conflict with elephants over water and grazing lands.
However, the elephants did not seem nervous when presented with the voices of women or young boys speaking Maasai. They were aware that only humans with deep voices were a threat to them.
They also seem to recognize that if humans are talking, they aren't necessarily a threat. Humans pursuing large game like elephants are stealth hunters. If you can hear them coming, they're probably not trying to hurt you.
Anyway, elephants are amazing and one of the creatures high up on my list of "non-humans who are probably people."
Reblogging for those fabulous details.

A Moment In Between
There’s something so powerful when you realize you’re in that in between moment. You’re headed somewhere - you’re at that moment where you’re about to turn that page in a book but you can’t see what the next chapter is like yet. Where its that music bridge that doesn’t seem to take you anywhere but you’re listening to it anyways because your favorite lyric is about to come. You’re awake too late in the night but too early in the morning; when you can hear the quiet hum of everyone being quiet but the other half of the hemisphere is wide awake. You’re having a conversation with someone and that moment of silence, the next words being unknown to both of you. It feels surreal but so deep in being a human on this earth.
The distinct lack of decent archaeology books and movies and tv shows and all that is an actual travesty and im still not over this
i just really want a sitcom of whacky fieldwork shenanigans ok
[image ID: @redstar-winterorbit replied: Folks, this is just time team. Y’all are suggesting a “Time Team: the (fan)fiction series”; end ID]
We all know and love Time Team. However, it is only one show. It is not enough to satisfy our depraved need for more than one form of archaeology media.
Also it fails to address the ‘ive been doing this fieldwork for four weeks and we have all lost our minds’ vibes that is one of the quintessential experiences of archaeology
We cannot see everyone slowly descending into madness over three days. At least not to the Proper Archaeologist Standards. (Suffice to say that yes, we get worse than they do on time team)
I want an archaeology sitcom that’s essentially Time Team meets The Office. Join our plucky little CRM crew as they navigate the pitfalls (sometimes literal pitfalls) of doing shovel test pits for a new highway in Minnesota! In this episode:
Jonathan washes his clothes in a laughably small motel sink
Marianne falls headfirst into a shovel test pit while Eduardo looks on and does nothing to help
Travis, the crew himbo, sifts the same bucket of dirt three times without realizing
Olivia leads the team through a time crunch as a tornado super cell nears
Will anyone be struck by lightning as they hurry to get the total station to safety??? Tune in this week to find out!
And by the end of the season they’re wrecks, but at the start of the next season they’re all bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to go!
Each season begins with the crew reuniting after a nice holiday get away. Marianne goes to Bermuda, Jonathan goes to the Rocky Mountains, Eduardo goes scuba diving in the Florida Keys, Olivia goes to Paris, and Travis goes home to Oklahoma to see his folks. They are all refreshed and happy.
A week in they are all frazzled and half crazy.
Might I offer my services as the research historian who digs out context in the archives, and appears once a week to the dig with hot tea and cakes, mildly concerned as the crew goes increasingly feral, but So Used To It by now that she just slowly offers the dig leader a cup of coffee lion tamer-style?
You most certainly can. All archaeology digs require someone with the brain cells and the coffee. And its usually not one of the archaeologists
Oh my GOD, Reid et al. I need that idea to be green lit to series IMMEDIATELY.
I volunteer to be the historical archaeologist always caught in the middle of the archive-coffee-calm and the fieldwork calamity.
This tweet has changed my life btw
