How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard.

This is so dumb who pours tea from 3 feet in the air

[mmmmmeeeeeehhhhhhh]

people with excellent teapots. pay attention

[blackirishweab]

In some cultures, the higher you pour the tea from, the more important/welcome the guest is. On top of that, the aeration this provides can greatly change the flavor.

I'ma be so bougie with this information now. I’m judging all teapots from here on out.

school schedules are designed in such a way that kids are deprived of adequate food and sleep. the sleep piece has been written on extensively, but it’s quite plain that requiring young people to wake up at 6am during the developmental phase when they need the most sleep and tend to stay up later is a terrible public health move. 

from an eating perspective, it’s just as bad. say a middle or high schooler eats breakfast (if they even eat breakfast) at 7am, then doesn’t eat lunch until 11-12 (and lunch is often inadequate), then has after-school activities, etc. and may not get home until late afternoon, or eat dinner until evening. and kids in school are not generally allowed to snack in class or given time to snack between classes. these gaps between eating times are way too big for adolescents! they need a lot of food–more than adults–to support the growth process, just as they need more sleep.

it’s no wonder many kids start eating reactively in their teens, especially after school or at night–they’re not being adequately fed during the day. even if kids aren’t restricted from eating freely/fully at home, their daily lives regularly involve periods of energy deficiency. add to that the social pressures around body size, and it’s a recipe for disorder at an epidemic level

[heavyweightheart]

And it’s not an accident or a simple public health mistake that schools are designed this way—they are the training ground for laborers who’ll spend a lifetime on the bosses’ schedule, stripped (to varying degrees depending on social location) of their bodily autonomy and health

“Sleep” by Nick Knight, 2001

“On 10 & 11 December 2001, nine top models arrived at The Metropolitan Hotel to participate in the first ever global, live fashion shoot. The girls were dressed by stylists, had their hair, make-up and nails groomed, and were put to bed in their separate hotel rooms. SHOWstudio viewers logged on at midnight and through the night as the models’ gentle slumber and gradual dishevelment was recorded.”

Spring happens and it’s not photoshopped!

Actually it’s this: a carpet of poplar fluff burns to reveal the grass below at the Parque del Cidacos de Calahorra, Spain.

According to geographyrealm.com:The seed fluff produced by poplars is also highly flammable. The combustible seeds can quickly catch fire and burn off, leaving underlying grass and other vegetation untouched.

“dopamine detox day” (where you don’t do anything enjoyable, or really at all) is like the ultimate culmination of pseudopsychology in the self help wellness influencer world

I’ve been dopamine detoxing my whole life

this is still the funniest fucking thing i remember being 7 and almost throwing up watching this and now im 20 puking onto my rug 

[ink-the-shitposter]

dude being a little kid during an election year was THE funniest thing. kids were all just repeating their parent’s political beliefs verbatim without understanding any of what they were saying. My elementary school did a mock election and I didn’t know what was going on so I just voted for Obama because thats what everyone else was doing. My friend and I were chatting on a swing set and she said to me “I hope Mitt Romney gets elected because I don’t think Obama will get anything done” bitch you are 9
