This one needs to go right next to the Baltimore accent with the Aaron earns an iron urn.

In case anyone hasn't seen it

[anais-ninja-bitch]

love how english started as a rhotic language and half the native speakers said, "oh, Fuck That Noise"

[findingfeather]

What I DEEPLY LOVE about the Baltimore one is how mad HE IS to realize what his own accent did to it. XD He's SO MAD. XD XD

How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard.

that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth

[ms-demeanor]

I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

It’s crazy that countries on the edge of the Sahara desert are reversing desertification by just digging half circles

[what-even-is-thiss]

The ground in these places is too compact for water to soak in during wet season which leads to flooding but digging these holes gives the water a place to stop and soak in. And they’re pushing back the desert with this. By just digging holes.

[what-even-is-thiss]

The new plants also help even more water soak into the ground which reduces flooding even more.

These places also give people places to grow food and graze animals like people are turning completely dry compact desert into a refuge for wildlife and plants and solving regional food insecurity just by digging holes.

Yacouba Sawadogo - Wikipedia

The half-circles are called zaï! They're a traditional farming practice in the Sahel desert, and their introduction + reintroduction can be largely credited to Yacouba Sawadogo, the man linked above! He reintroduced and innovated on the zaï on his own farm in the 1980s, and did extensive outreach (along with scientist Mathieu Ouédraogo) to encourage other farmers to adopt them as well.

He also promoted the use of cordons pierreux, which are basically just lines of rocks to reduce erosion, preserve sediments, and increase water absorption.

Immensely cool dude. He's been a personal hero since I learned about him.

Sprang (noun)

This is a very old, but almost dead, textile craft called sprang. It's not exactly weaving - I'd say it's closer to braiding in that it only has warp threads, no weft. I'm using some metal rods as shed sticks, and also to keep the holes open enough to be fishnet-y.

My original goal was to make fingerless fishnet gloves/sleeves, but I think the material's going to be way too wide for that; it has a LOT of horizontal stretch. It's hard to tell exactly how much with it still tensioned, but if I'm lucky I might be able to make a short tube top of it!

For my next sprang project I won't keep the holes as open; I'd like to experiment with making a material opaque enough to have some sort of colorwork show up.

DA Protagonist Dividers

Oh! One last thing (for now). If you like the dividers I used in my OC masterposts, you can use them too! Here they are together:

They're transparent, and have a subtle glow around the edges.

Credit is nice but not necessary. :)

occtis looking deeply upset after his death: diversity win! your friend survived the lab accident and is now something distinctly nonhuman.

vaelus putting her fingers together and staring intensely at the funeral: if you ever feel stupid or weak or powerless, just remember that I, am not. And I am out there, very dangerous and I am looking for you. Good luck
