tumblr staff: hey i got a great idea hows about we screw up everyone's decade of muscle memory by splitting the perfectly functioning reblog button into two separate things. and make every basic task take more clicks to perform than before. this is ideal. yup. yeah go ahead and push the update to all users and ignore all feedback. s'all good
that was a very expensive superbowl ad
Do not for one fucking minute believe this will meaningfully stop your stupid fucking internet camera from being used by law enforcement or adtech data companies. This is one partnership being (allegedly) cancelled for now.
Get rid of your stupid fucking internet camera.
Yeah, this is a win in that it is a big FUCK YOU to ring and flock, and a sign to others that profiting of collaboration with a fascist regime is not popular with 'consumers'. But it doesn't mean ring cameras aren't still dangerous to you and your community. Get rid of them.
#i just looked and i don't think this post gives you the full picture #santigold96 has written 357 works of asoiaf fanfiction in chinuk wawa #the devil works hard but santigold96 works harder
I fully understand that it's more useful this way because most people have no intuition for the mass or volume of aerosols, but it's still funny as hell that the nutritional information of non-stick cooking spray is listed in terms of calories per second.
(For the non-physics-nerds in the audience, that calories per second is a unit of energy over time means it is technically correct to state the nutritional value of cooking spray in horsepower. The cooking spray in my pantry is labelled 8 dietary calories/second, which works out to about 45 horsepower.)
Shout out to all the folks in the notes who've apparently had a can of non-stick cooking spray in their pantry for years and just plain never looked at the label before this post.
It's rare that I appreciate an advertising campaign but this is 100/10.
“no crew, no help, just pure hustle” cut to this poor woman bawling her eyes out. what the fuck is wrong with people? why is this being framed as a good or impressive feat? this person makes below poverty wages already. Burger King meanwhile takes in $27 billion in global revenue every single year. everyone involved in making this woman endure this should be tortured and force fed chicken fries until their heart gives out. fuck this country.
"while customers watched in shock"
WHILE THEY FUCKING STOOD THERE, KNOWING SHE HAD NO HELP, AND JUST ORDERED LIKE IT WAS GODDAMN NORMAL? Like I'm obviously not saying they should be jumping behind the counter to help out, I'm saying who looks at this and thinks, "Damn, that's messed up, but I'm still gonna give this company my money." This isn't like she's running her own business! She isn't making extra because you ordered your Whopper! She's getting paid the same salary!
There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, yeah, but there sure as fuck are people who will recognize the unethical bullshit going on and then just shrug and take advantage of it anyway. What the fuck is WRONG with people.
Update, she was fired from her job.
https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/burger-king-mom-went-viral-153113130.html
Nykia Hamilton went viral in July after a customer recorded her working a shift entirely alone at a Burger King
“[Burger King] fired me because I’ve been late because of my kids,” she explained through tears. “My kids come first. Y’all don’t pay for no babysitter, or nothing.”
Yeah, so, I mean that whole "absolutely not even an ounce of support where he's really needed" theme really just keeps on getting hammered, wow.
"i'm gay" "i'm straight" okay well i'm gonna be a starship ranger???
Dave Brandt was so much more than a meme. He partnered with universities to experiment with and expand soil conservation and cover crop techniques, worked to educate other farmers through worldwide conventions and direct mentorship, founded the Soil Health Academy, and was called the "Obi-Wan Kenobi of soil health" by the chief of the USDA's conservation department.
There is no healthy planet without healthy ag practices, and this guy was a legend.
The A-horizon on his farm was 4 feet deep
You do not understand
Most modern Ag operations don’t even have a proper A-Horizon. They’re too busy turning the earth every time they replant. The A-horizon is the Black Gold that makes Soil Soil. It’s a structurally complex soil horizon that must be built in place by the interactions of Plants and Fungi and Insects. It is The Thing that soaks up rain and holds onto it for plants. The A-Horizon is The Thing that builds up when you let a field sit fallow. The act of tilling creates fecundity by breaking up the A-horizon. On a really good Organic no-till farm you might find an A-horizon between 3-6 inches.
His A-horizon was 4 feet deep. 50 inches.
I-
I have no context. His farm was covered in a living skin thick enough for a child to stand in.
Gives me hope for what we could accomplish if we got our collective heads on straight, you know? Like. This was one guy. A brilliant man, who knew what he was up to, but. The thing about brilliant ideas is they can be shared.
50 inches. The mind reels.
This is so much more impressive than I can understand and comprehend and I would love to know more about A horizon
Do you love the color of the Soil?
Humus, or Humic Compounds, are a cryptic and poorly understood set of organic substances. As the final metabolic result of once-living things being digested first by macroscopic organisms, and then by microorganisms, they resist most forms of analysis, and have cryptic structures. A few that we have managed to isolate and study are the Humic & Fulvic Acids.
Humus has a number of remarkable tendencies. It is capable of retaining water far better than any raw mineral clay; it also retains electrically charged clay granules, which themselves retain mineral ions, all of which is essential to make a soil a high-quality resource for Plants to grow in.
A composter is a box that contains an environment that is conducive to the production of Humus, but the best way to produce it is in-place, by laying layers of organic material down over an unbroken earth and growing things out of that. The interaction of the plants rooting, the fungus weaving itself through everything, the bacteria and archaea metabolizing as they do, and inorganic weathering forces all combine to gradually build up the microscopic equivalent of a complex megastructure capable of retaining far more water, and containing far more nutrients, than any inorganic substrate.
This stuff is black gold. This is the stuff that determines whether or not a plot of land is going to be “productive.” The knowledge of how to make it, how to care for it, is an essential piece of wisdom that our civilization needs to remember.
Fortunately, folks seem to have the right response:
Farmers are more important to the continuity of civilization than administrators, no matter what the elitists say. This knowledge is important.
Exactly
This work is so important and underappreciated AND if you're interested in the lives of the women as wives and secretaries who did research and publication "with" their husbands in history, you should know that this kind of work in sustainable agriculture right now also has a LOT of invisible women doing critical scientific work in soil development, seed saving and starting, etc, often without formal training or recognition.
Rules of DIY:
if it's a skill, there's rules you can learn
if it's an art, rules are not your concern
make it fucked up or you won't make it
if it's already broken, you can't break it
anything can be fixed with gorilla glue

What is tumblr trying to tell me
Wyd after drinking the Linux slurpee
More political stuff is happening. I don't like it here, it's getting too 1940's. I need to finish my schooling first before moving countries though. Maybe a student visa? I'm currently learning Japanese and Spanish so maybe somewhere will take me. What countries need teachers?
who wanna scamper through the forests w me
you're on your knees, hands tied behind your back, bag over your head. "nothing personal, just can't leave any loose ends." i cock my nerf blaster and hit you on the back of your head with a foam dart. you fall over and sink into a ball pit. i stoically honk my clown nose and drive away in a comically small car
This is what happens when you let your clowns run wild
They attack the local fauna and interbreed with the feral mafia goons/bosses
