Folks, friends, y’all…. esk*mo is a slur. I understand a lot of people don’t know that, I don’t want to be a dick about it, but I’ve been seeing it in fics. Wanna write “esk*mo kisses”? Just say “nuzzled noses” or something.

I’m not here to call anybody out, it’s been in multiple fics, I’m not vague posting. This is just a psa. 👍🏻

If you could help me spread awareness about this by reblogging, I’d really appreciate it.

I’ve had this post on insta saved for sometime ❤️

[Text Description: “Hey! Reminder: Eskimo is a slur. It means ‘snow eaters’ in Cree and is a slur against Inuit . Also don’t use ‘Eskimo kisses’. It’s called Kunik. It is a greeting mostly used for family… Kunik was how I’d greet my mom and grandmother as a small child.” /TD]

Rebloging for the awareness and especially for the alternative words

And so people who are just learning this now know the proper usage: “Inuit” is plural. The singular is “Inuk”, as in “he is an Inuk”

‘This is the start of how it all ends’

I’ve wanted to do a new Morrigan piece for quite a while now. ‘Woah. I could try and do the art study of Klimt’s Judith for this.’ So I did. 💛

At first I wanted her to hold Flemmeth’s head, instead of Holofernes, but it just looked superdisgusting. Went for darkspawn instead.

An archivist found a long forgotten 8mm film reel in an old metal box, marked “Philippines 1942”. Thinking it was lost WWII footage, he sent it in to be restored/digitized. When he got the footage back, he found puppies instead (via)

This is so freaking profound. Like, this was before the advent of the personal camera. Not just anyone owned a camera in these days. Cameras were expensive, and so was the film. When you were recording shit, it had to be stuff you were willing to shell out a pretty penny to have preserved. Someone so deeply and profoundly loved these dogs and found joy in them that they decided to preserve them for future generations to see, after these pups are long dead and gone. This camera operator wanted to preserve the joy these dogs brought them and to share it with others. How incredible is that?

I feel like the picture is necessary to understand just how not subtle this is.

I’d like to point out that the colour red has more positive than negative meanings.

My favourite thing about this post is that someone saw those photos of that cat and went “ah yes, I know exactly which 15th century Baroque painting this reminds me of”

not to be a history fucker on main but the whole mystery of the lost colony of roanoke is so fucking funny

wizardnuke

governor of the colony: hey I’m gonna go back to england to get more supplies

115 colonists: okay

governor: ends up spending 3 years in england bc of a naval war with spain or some shit

governor: gets back to the colony to find everyone gone

governer: sees the word “croatoan”, the name of a native american tribe, carved into a post

croatoan tribe: has members and children with blonde hair/blue eyes, pale skin

everyone: what could have happened to the colonists of roanoke

hi! op here. I’m fucking hyperventilating

There’s still active research happening on this, too! Archeologists have been finding all sorts of stuff that points to the Roanoke colonists assimilating into the local indigenous communities in the area.

Which, honestly, is actually a lot more interesting than most of the other fantastical hypotheses about what happened to the colonists!

I love that opera sits in this limbo where it's extremely well-known but not really beyond a surface level recognition, so you get commercials for makeup or whatever to the tune of the I Hate Women So Much It's Unreal aria

I have a story that is almost the opposite of this.

Once my mom was getting frustrated while cooking and I was meant to go be leaving I suppose, but she shouted out “I need more time!”

I was feeling snarky or whatever so I went to look for some “time” in the pantry in the basement as a joke, fully anticipating that I might get in trouble for hindering my leaving progress with a dumb joke.

But lo and behold, I found “thyme” on the shelf which is actually what my mom needed so I ended up being helpful when I was actually trying to sass.

Like walking into the path of a bullet and dodging anyway hahaha

No one else remembers bc from their perspective, I just did what I was told. But it was totally surreal from my end when I didn’t even know thyme was a spice when I went down there.
