"oh, I live in a desert and-"

"wow that must be so terrible" "deserts are so ugly" "I would never want to live in a wasteland like that" "it's just empty nothingness"

wishing 10,000 exploding hammers upon you

behold New Mexico

ID 2: brightly colored banded cliff walls of several mesas climbing their way into mountains

ID 3: a desert prairie

this post and all its wonderful additions (look in the notes) is circulating again. these photos and many of the ones added in the notes come from the US Southwest.

right now the trump administration is attacking the public lands in the Southwestern US. most recently (July 2026), in Utah the Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments have been cut by over 90% to allow for mining. these lands are sacred to multiple Native nations in the area and contain irreplaceable archeological sites. additionally, the commission of Native representatives who aided in management of these lands has been dissolved leaving Native people without a voice in caring for the remaining land. (read more here)

here in New Mexico, the 10 mile buffer zone surrounding Chaco Canyon preventing oil and gas drilling is under attack. Chaco Canyon contains incredibly old and incredibly fragile archeological sites sacred to Pueblo people. these sites are threatened by mining and drilling. (read more here)

The attack on the Chaco buffer zone is currently in a public comment period open until July 29. PLEASE leave a public comment to save these irreplaceable places.

[wheelie-sick]

some people have cut this addition off of their reblogs and quite frankly that's disturbing.

you can't appreciate the desert and also erase the fact that these places are under attack.

and I'd even say it's downright racist. this isn't "just" the desert, these are sacred locations to multiple Native nations and they are under attack because they are sacred to many Native people. the least you can do is reblog to raise awareness to the attacks on these lands. there is no going back from mining and drilling. there is no way to repair these ancient archeological sites when the vibrations in the ground topple them and when they are bulldozed.

submitting a public comment is the absolute bare minimum you can do and if you can't be assed to write 1 sentence saying you don't support removing the Chaco buffer zone then at least leave the reblog encouraging other people to do so attached.

Johnny Eck was a performer from the 1930s who was born without any legs:

He's primarily known for appearing in the 1932 cult classic Freaks directed by Tod Browning.

However what I'm mostly obsessed with is this account of a magic trick he did with his non-disabled twin brother (text under the cut)

Like this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine

Wikipedia screenshot:

"In 1937, Eck and Robert were recruited by the illusionist and hypnotist Rajah Raboid, for his "Miracles of 1937" show. In it they performed a magic feat that amazed audiences. Raboid performed the traditional sawing-a-man-in-half illusion, except with an unexpected twist. At first Robert would pretend to be a member of the audience and heckle the illusionist during his routine, resulting in Robert being called on stage to be sawed in half himself. During the illusion, Robert would then be switched with his twin brother Eck, who played the top half of his body, and a dwarf who played the bottom half, concealed in specially-built pant legs. After seeming to have been sawn off, the legs would suddenly get up and start running away, prompting Eck to jump off the table and start chasing them around the stage, screaming, "Come back!" "I want my legs back!" Sometimes he even chased the legs into the audience. The subsequent reaction was amazing – people would scream and sometimes even flee the theater in terror. As Eck described it, "The men were more frightened than the women – the women couldn't move because the men were walking across their laps, headed for the exit." The act provided the perfect jolt by frightening people at first but then caused just as much laughter and applause. The illusion would end with stage hands plucking up Eck and setting him atop "his" legs and then twirling him off-stage to be replaced by his twin Robert, who would then loudly threaten to sue Raboid and storm out of the theater. Their act was so popular that they played to packed audiences up and down the East Coast."

Easily one of the top 5 funniest things you can do as an identical twin

okay this makes me feel like an ancient hag to say, but i was thinking some younger listeners to wolf 359 might not know of this: "the artist formerly known as warren kepler" isn't something he came up with, it's a reference to prince (the singer) who changed his name to an unpronounceable glyph for a bit, so no one knew what to call him and everyone started saying "the artist formerly known as prince".

now i personally didn't think there was anything further to this. oh kepler made a pop culture reference, fun. he likes funk, sure he likes prince! but then i looked up "the artist formerly known as prince" just out of idle curiosity and turns out what i didn't know is that prince didn't change his name out of eccentricity or as an artistic expression but because he was in a legal dispute with warner brothers who had trademarked "Prince™". which was the man's legal name and not a pseudonym. and so when he split from wb, they disallowed him to perform under his own legal name. it is a true story of a man being held captive by a corporation so thoroughly, his very identity no longer feels like, no longer is his own. so yeah, the artist formerly known as warren kepler. goddard really had that man in a gorilla grip

They say ooooh be a good boy for daddy and you'll get a reward. But then the reward is just gay sex. This is bullshit. I wanted a skateboard

[crabanarchy]

Then they say if you're a bad boy daddy will punish you. But what's the punishment? More gay sex! You can't escape it. This whole damn place is in the pocket of Big Sex

I refuse to ever apologize for art.

[big-meows]

Fucking dire, man. If this isn't a call to action to stomp your consumerist urges and return to the DIY days of yore, I don't know what is.

Festive friends, I implore you. You don't need this stuff. There's a dozen reasons you don't need to buy this kind of mass produced seasonal decor and AI creeping into it is just the newest reason. Consider instead a) buying from reputable/independent/local artists, b) thrifting/buying vintage or c) just making it yourself. There is nothing I would love more than seeing a mass rejection of AI usher in a new DIY art/arts and crafts movement.

draw that woman with tummy hair it's good for you

[demilypyro]

like on a literal mental health level I literally think regularly acknowledging women naturally DO have body hair is good for you. don't let the beauty industry take you for a ride. don't let them decide what women look like

vaginal infections, utis, and extreme ph imbalances are no fucking joke. please wash your goddamn hands before you stick your fingers in someone

100%, and in case anyone was unsure - this applies to transfems who have had vaginoplasty/vulvoplasty as well! safer sex and hygiene applies just as much to neogenitals
