Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?

I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:

It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

What video game world would be your #1 travel destination?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

I'm somewhere between Fontaine or Sumeru from Genshin Impact. Both seem like nice places to explore.

The myth that knights could barely move in their armor has finally been dispelled by Thrillist

I may have re-bloggerised this before, but no matter.

Here you go ^

The myth that armour was heavy comes from the 16th century. Jousting armour in those days was incredibly heavy (110lb/50kg) because it is designed to absorb the impact of a joust. At this time armour for field combat (much lighter, like in the video) was dying out. To combat early firearms, armour became thick and heavy, the term bulletproof comes from armour that was in fact bulletproof against muskets and early firearms. 

Heavy armour stuck in literature and poetry through the centuries which Hollywood picked up as a great meme. 

TL;DR - Combat armour 13th to 15th century was lightweight. Late armour was heavy and became a meme for centuries.

Please feel free to add on if you know of others, be it more resource for one of the sign languages above, or resources for learning any of the other 300 plus sign languages.

Edit: I updated the ASL reference to Bill Vicars, but reminder that these are just things I found around, please find Deaf teachers wherever possible! And for ASL, lifeprint.com is another wonderful resource.

[accessibleaesthetics]

This post is still actively getting notes every day, so I wanted to share a new resource with you: Lingvano. This app is:

Free, for the first few lessons then it’s about $10 per month

Offers lessons from D/deaf teachers

Extremely self-paced, built to take in small 5 to 20 minute chunks every day.

The app currently only offers courses in three sign languages: American Sign Language (ASL), British Sign Language (BSL) and Austrian Sign Language (ÖGS).

I will add this to the original post momentarily, but I wanted to put this in a reblog too to raise awareness. I found out about this app from a Deaf content creator, so I really do think it's legit.

Is the implication here that:

a) Kermit has worked with him so long, he should know Gonzo has no dignity

b) Gonzo has worked with Kermit this long, only because he has no dignity

c) Gonzo has no dignity as a result of how long he has worked with Kermit

Why is this worded like an ACT/SAT question?
