i was watching a video about how regional cheeses are made around the world, and was shown a type of mozzarella called zizzona (the z/zz pronounced like the 'zz' in 'pizza', with a 'tz' sound), which, yes, means "mother's breast".

so rest easy tonight knowing they have titty cheese in italy.

Been pondering for ages if the Air Bender's clothes are made from shedded bison fluff. What say you?

There's actually a wonderful series of reblogs on Tumblr that discuss the logistics of sky bison fur as a resource:

https://www.tumblr.com/atlaculture/776407492124196864/ljf613-delicatefury-haveievermentioned?source=share

A quick summary of the reblog chain:

Air Nomad clothing was definitely made from sky bison wool.

Air Nomad children likely learned to spin wool into yarn with a drop spindle as a way of keeping them focused and refining their airbending.

Any yarn made by Aang would sell for a disgustingly high price.

@yetanotherknitter was able to calculate that Appa would probably shed about 120 pounds of underfur (aka soft fur) every spring.

Finally, there are five types of traditional Tibetan wool-based fabrics that vary in coarseness, so there's a solid basis for the Air Nomad's textile customs and legacy.

Only the subtlest metaphors on this Tumblr.

[pastel-hutt-deactivated20180115]

This works as a metaphor for children but also it works perfectly well when played totally straight because horse people are actually like this

[rider-waite-blog]

it literally took me three solid readings through this to realize that it wasn’t necessarily about horse people, because they are exactly like this

Except the hotel isn't saying en garde, it's saying on garde:

on: Pronoun indicating "we/everyone," "people," or "a generic and unspecified person"

garder: most often "to keep" but can also be "to watch over" or "to take care of"

So the hotel is either insisting it keeps something or it's warning us that it/someone is watching us. Which is a little more intimidating than just spoiling for a fight if you ask me.

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed 

[clayboy2000-deactivated20210427]

To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed

If I was a wasp, I'd sting you. If I was a venomous snake, I'd bite you. If I was a lion, I'd maul you. If I was a swamp, I'd poison you. If I was a mountain, I'd fall and crush you. If I was the ocean, I'd drown you. If I was a cat, I'd never let you touch me. If I was a dog, I'd run away. If I was a horse, I'd never let you break me. If I was a farm, I wouldn't grow for you. If I was a fire, I'd burn out without warming you. If I was a home, I would fall apart around you.

If I was harmless and small, and easy to hold, you would love me. If I was a worm you could put me in the soft earth and I would be helpless in your care. Of course you could love me, but could you love me if I stung you, bit you, pulled against you, hid and didn't understand you but wasn't harmless or helpless at all?

Could you love something for what it is, when that means you can't touch it or show kindness, maybe even never be near it, and it might never, ever love you back? Is it okay to exist and not belong to anyone, to not be useful to anyone, to be dangerous or poisonous or a failure but a part of the world all the same?

I know this is a metaphor, but if you take it kind of literally, there is an answer to this.

We build wildlife preserves. Often explicitly for the protection of animals and ecosystems that can and have killed humans.

Whenever a whale gets stranded on a beach, CROWDS show up ad risk getting bludgeoned to death trying to get it back into the water.

Every Zoo has a reptile house full of venomous snakes and a team of humans dedicated to giving them the best quality of life possible.

There are volunteer beekeepers who will travel for miles and miles and hours and hours to relocate an entire hive.

There are people who rehabilitate dangerous dogs and horses

There are people who restore structurally unsound houses

There are people who study the way that fire burns so it can rejoin the ecosystem and not be smothered on sight.

Every day, millions of people get up and devote themselves to things that can and will kill them by their nature. Things they can't touch or show kindness to. Things they can't go near. Things that are wholly incapable of loving them back.

And they do it because they love them.

Everything dangerous, everything poisonous, everything 'useless'- absolutely everything has someone, often many thousands of people, who loves them exactly as they are, without expectation that their affection will be returned.

It is alright for anything, even you, to not belong to anyone, to not be useful, to be frightening and dangerous and not adhere to any standard of success. It's all alright. You are loved. You are loved. You are loved.

In fifth grade a boy tried to impress me by swallowing a whole tadpole live and I punched him so hard that he puked and the tadpole was fine.

[should-be-sleeping]

I kept it in a terrarium and it became a normal 🐸 despite everything. About a year afterward (I thought) it died, so I sadly put it in a shoebox in the shed until the ground thawed enough for a proper funeral but when that day came I opened the box and the frog was fine.

I was in a school play but my only job was to pretend to be a corpse in the background the whole time. I would just lay on the floor with my back turned to the audience. Only at the VERY END did I get to get off the floor and sing a single line.
