After the results of this poll, I must now ask the following:
Do you know what this gentleman is wearing and what it’s used for?
Yes, I know the name(s), function, and have used one before
Yes, I know the name(s), function, but haven’t used one for myself
No, I don’t know the name(s), but I know its function
No, I don’t know the function, but I know the name(s)
I don’t know the name(s), or function
I’ve never seen this before
To avoid further confusion like last time, this is a link to the Wikipedia page about this specific headwear. Click it and see if you were correct.

fake Goncharov fans don’t even realize that Scorsese did NOT direct the 1973 cult classic. he was executive producer. 🤦♀️
The actual director is Natted JWHJ0715, and they deserve credit!!!
It's Matteo JWHJ0715!!!!! Very talented director (italian mother, license plate father)
my favorite video game quest trope is "HELP US, THEY ARE STEALING OUR ANCIENT ARTIFACT. THANK YOU FOR HELPING US, AS A REWARD YOU MAY HAVE OUR ANCIENT ARTIFACT"
the ancient artifact was less important than having agency in its distribution
Nothing is more important than keeping it out of the hands of the British museum
Hello West Asian and Middle Eastern folks on Tumblr
How do you feel about coldbrew coffee?
Good morning, you have activated my trap card
Image: a Yu Gi Oh trap card with the wikipedia page for coffee on it, and text reading, "Infodump: You are now going to have to listen to basically a way worse one-author wikipedia page, hope you have fun!!!!!"
#Finnish people are known coffee fiends #and I've been thinking a lot about how that puts me at a massive cultural debt towards the Arabic -- specifically Yemeni #agricultural technicians and culinarians #who cultivated those plants and developed the beverage #and I remember that one post about ice tea where Brits were getting real fucking uppity about the concept #and how I never actually heard any East or South Asian perspectives on it #so also hello if you're East or South Asian -- how do *you* feel about ice tea?
So, quick answer: on a personal level I love cold brew, and on a cultural level, cold brew is in perfect keeping with the history of coffee.
Coffee's history have always been "the ecstatic stimulant of the people," unlike tea which often had imperial and hierarchical implications, in part because of its much more complicated production. Tea reflects its agricultural setting a lot more deeply, with different altitudes and watering creating dramatically different drinks. Tea also requires careful picking and processing.
Coffee is more of a "don't kill it, and you're good to go." It makes berries, you pick the berries, you put the berries over heat, you add water to the berries, boom, coffee achieved. It's also a much more durable plant: it handles a bit of goat grazing really well.
Now, because it's very accessible for basically any farmer in the right climate, that means coffee is kind of an "everyone loves it" drink, and so, it became integrated into a wide variety of cultural settings. It was famously spread by the "whirling dervishes" as they travelled throughout the Muslim sphere of influence, but every region has their own trends, habits, and preferences. Yemeni coffee rituals are different from Turkish ones are different from Sudanese ones and on and on.
But there is a throughline.
Caffeine.
There's only one way to make coffee "wrong," and that's to rip out the stimulant.
Non-medical decaff was a mistake.
Cold brew, however?
Cold brew makes more caffeine. If anything, you're doing better at coffee when you cold brew.
Get out there and GET STIMULATED!!!!!!
An alternate offer, should anyone be interested

rb and tag your favorite song that's not in english, japanese or korean
it's not exactly a deep cut but
Okay, real talk now. People love to tag male characters in posts about women, but this post is gonna take this seriously. Is there actually a canonically male character you believe is a trans woman? Or at least has made into a trans woman for a fanart or a fanfic? Excluding the ones canonically implied.
Sound off in the tags! Link to the fanart or fic if available. Do it. Give me the girls. Make more women.
Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
There was a running bit in Animorphs about how Andalites had writing and computers but had mever had a form of bound paper text, and the alien Ax was constantly amazed at the convenience of a book.
The stacking the text makes it so portable and the paper is shockingly long-lasting with proper care and the addition of a table of contents and numbered pages make it so easy to find a section you're looking for. It's pleasantly tactile and they're so easy to leaf through and store.
Like it was just a way of illustrating that different species invented different things in different orders and progress isn't linear and doesn't look the same in all civilizations etc, it was funny.
But I've thought about that detail hundreds of times over the last 30 years, it really stuck with me. Half of the advantages I list aren't even from the books, I've just thought about it A LOT over the years and come to the conclusion that I am in full agreement. Books are a fucking amazing technology.

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs
you have to forgive the printer because it's one of the most machine-ass machines we interact with on a day to day basis. that thing says kerchunk. hardly anything says kerchunk these days. you can't get mad at her when she kerchunks up a little.
Crazy that tech has gotten so bad that we're doing printer forgiveness now
