(Gilberts done by the wonderful @ask19thcentury-doctorgilbert​ !!)

This is a 16+ server with channels dedicated to adults. Don’t lie about your age. We’ll know.

Here’s the invite code! wHfwUXxHUX (look in the notes for the direct link. Otherwise, paste this code when you click “add a server”)

After many months, we have put a fresh coat of paint on the server! I cannot wait to re-introduce you to The Beilstans, now the home of the Gilbert Cinematic Universe! Share your Gils, Nyos, and other German countries! While this server is a Prussia-centered server, we have dedicated channels for discussing other characters, including OCs. We also have games, bots, and off-topic channels, including one for German. If this is overwhelming, don’t worry! We have a channel guide in the server!

What is the Gilbert Cinematic Universe? It is the (opt-in, of course) solution to a character with such a dynamic range of interpretations! Each instance of a character is assigned a letter, allowing for easy discussions about one’s own interpretations of Gilbert, and an easy way to make memes about each others’ Gils! We have a slideshow of all Gils to help you get up to speed on who’s who. The general Germanics channel (#sandbox-game-of-the-year-edition) follows the same rules of the GCU regarding lettering. And, finally, we have #other-characters, which is for any other character. We understand that categorization can get tricky if you factor in historical borders, so characters like Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia can go into either channel. What else do we have to offer? We have channels for gaming, other fandoms, places to show off your art and writing, a detailed role system to help you to get to know each other, a personality-type discussion channel, and more! We’re excited to have you here!

I am not at all a medical professional, so please excuse any inaccuracies. In any case, Roisia would 100% be trying to puzzle out the logistics of a vampire bite.

sometimes all you need is for a time traveller of the new millennium to tell you that you have to learn to say no to your boyfriend's desperate ideas

THEY DIDNT DO IT

My friend takes this one step further and refers completely accurately to his girlfriend Danielle as "My partner, Dan"

[charismat1c-megafauna]

Also i hate to say it but for some people, boyfriend/girlfriend feels a bit juvenile, say, if youre over 30, or perhaps youve been with someone for a very long time and are committed life partners but not married for whatever reason. Maybe husband/wife feels a little watered down to you and you want to establish the equal nature of your relationship.

Partner is a wonderful word and it should be normalized.

[vaspider]

We actively asked people to use "partner" because then using partner doesn't out someone as queer, you absolute fucking cabbages.

It isn't appropriation when people ask you to fucking do it.

okay. listen. I try not to be pedantic about this sort of thing but it’s starting to get on my nerves. the wire mother offers milk but not comfort. the cloth mother offers comfort but not milk. if something is comforting, fun, or otherwise compelling, but lacks substance, that is the cloth mother. if something is boring or unpleasant but has substance, that is the wire mother.

Why do my interests in canning, couponing, and homesteading overlap so often with blogs with titles like ‘The Obedient Housewife’? 

[livingdeadpoetssociety]

Like, I’m like, “I want to learn to make soap and farm,” and suddenly I see 500 “traditional family” motherfuckers like no you are mistaken. I am just a simple lesbian anticapitalist looking to limit my consumerism as much as possible.

‘these fun crafts will keep your kids occupied until your husband gets home!’ no i want a clothespin crown for me

[plantyhamchuk]

As a nerd who homesteads, let me share the data I have gathered!

First is my megalist of homesteading-related links I’ve gathered over the years. I’m a mod over at r/homesteading and this is where I’ve put a lot of good sources (not all, admittedly some are still sitting in my bookmark folder waiting to be added). The search function at reddit is wretched, but there’s also been lots of good things I’ve shared there too. Please note that many of these sources are not actual webpages, but PDFs. That’s not an accident, PDFs are where you find the really good in-depth stuff.

Many of my sources are from the Extension Service. They won’t try to relate to you based on your lifestyle or sexual identity or religion or whatever, but due to that, they also won’t be alienating you either.

The Cooperative Extension Service (US only) exists in all 50 states and in most counties. It is taxpayer funded. The Extension Service exists to help people become more self sufficient, for farmers to be more successful, for people to be healthier, for kids to be well adjusted, to figure out how to grow the best plants in your area, etc. Some county offices even offer cheap classes in things like gardening, canning, soap making, and they’re taught by people with training in these areas (I once heard a great talk on composting from a soil scientist that way). Do you want to know what type of plant something is? Do you need help figuring out a plant disease or pest issue? You can now contact them online and get great info.

I HIGHLY recommend checking out your state’s extension service website, because they do offer different types of information, depending on what is grown/raised where you are (and how well funded they are). My county extension puts out a monthly gardening newsletter, which includes a helpful ‘this is the time of the year to do —-’ part.

Here’s an example from North Carolina - check out that left sidebar

Here’s an example from California - this website is HUGE so dig around

Here’s an example from New York - they have a calendar at the bottom, showing how they have things like hydroponic and urban agriculture workshops coming up.

Interested in raising animals? Penn State Extension is really really good. They have tons of free materials and courses available online, some I pulled for my megalist at the top of this.

National Center for Home Food Preservation - they cover the important aspects of food safety, and also have some recipes. Many state Extension Service websites will have lots more recipes.

If you have kids, check out 4-H programs for them. It’s part of the local public school system here. If you’re homeschooling, you can also purchase their science-filled educational and self sufficiency materials (materials are divided by age ranges - Cloverbud Member: ages 5-8, Junior Member: ages 9-13, Senior Member: ages 14-19). One of my coworkers is in 4-H, she’s still in high school, and last year she raised an award-winning heifer.

Congress grants the money for funding these programs, and they’re connected with various universities. There’s a level of cutting edge scientific knowledge and academic rigor you don’t find in blogs or even most books. There’s LOTS of homesteading books filled with outdated information like ‘till the earth every year’ hell I still have older coworkers who do it and I’m trying to figure out how to gently tell them that they’re destroying their soil that way, and that there’s better methods now, methods grounded in science.

Knitting - try this youtube series

DIY Crown - here’s a youtube video on how to make a mermaid crown

Hope this is helpful to someone out there.

My dearest one, my darling dear       //     But I would bring you rings of gold Your mighty words astound me         //      I’d even sing you poetry ! But I’ve no need for mighty deeds     //      And I would keep you from all harm  When I feel your arms around me    //       If you would stay beside me

I recently finished reading Frederick the Great: A Life in Deed and Letters and I’m still not over all the anecdotes regarding Fritz and his love to dance. So here, have king and nation enjoying a little dance ;v;

here’s my one whole discourse post for pride month. you fucks will never ever ever wean off the radfem shit if you keep trying to give “cis men are evil” nuance. no, it’s not bad because they could be closeted or questioning, it’s bad because gender essentialism is a fucking brain poison and it makes you stupid

I recently read an article about a therapy group for depressed people who had all attempted suicide at some point. The breakthrough question for them was, “If your goal was to be just as miserable as possible, what would you do?” Most of them listed things like not getting enough sleep, or isolating themselves from everyone… the list goes on, but the point is, they listed things they already do. But now they saw those “coping mechanisms” for what they really were: things that were actively making their condition worse.

I read that article at 2:00 AM, asked myself, am I TRYING to be miserable tomorrow? And it was easier than usual to put my phone down and fall asleep. Even my intrusive “lying down” thoughts about meaninglessness and existential dread were easier to suppress when I framed them as things I’d think about to purposefully make myself feel as awful as possible.

Fuck that is helpful

[wizardnuke]

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

Please vote and reblog. If you haven't heard of these things I strongly recommend looking them up, tumblr of old was a wild place.

[prokopetz]

Honestly, the idea of implementing Discord-style reactions on Tumblr isn’t a completely terrible one.

Tumblr likes are functionally meaningless save as a mechanism for popular blogs to keep score anyway, so letting folks effectively colour-code their likes for individual posts by choosing a symbol to associate with them wouldn’t do any particular violence to the site’s functioning – it’d just get subsumed into the post’s overall note count.

However, I suspect that suddenly having dozens of icon to choose from when liking a post would be an intimidating adjustment for the site’s established userbase; it might be best to start gradually, with a smaller set of options – perhaps just three or four.

And you know, since we already have hearts
