I was wondering about zeffs nickname for Sanji. In English zeff calls him eggplant, but this doesn't really make sense. Does it make more sense in Japanese?

I’ve been asked about this before here, actually, but I’ll elaborate here. Basically it’s still a little odd in Japanese but less jarring than in English, I think? In Japanese it’s chibinasu (little eggplant) and it’s basically a just a dumb endearment/nickname for a dumb little kid.

But it’s also worth noting that 1. eggplants are considered lucky in Japan due to their connection with the hatsuyume/first dream belief and 2. one reason for this is because the word for eggplant, nasu (the same word used in Sanji’s nickname), sounds the same as the verb 成す/nasu, which basically means ‘achieving something great.’

Do with that what you will.

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

[senshibignaturals]

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Baby Eaglets Are First Born In Chicago In More Than A Century, Officials Say

Eaglets were observed in a Chicago cemetery and at a Southeast Side park this spring, marking a historic milestone.

BABY EAGLES IN CHICAGO!

It's been over a hundred years and they're back, they're nesting here, there's enough healthy food in the water to support breeding pairs, there's enough space for them. Eaglets in city limits again. I'd never considered this was something we could have.

Fun fact: due to the ongoing financial support from the people of tumblr, critically endangered pygmy raccoons being rehabbed in Cozumel are now able to get vaccines for deadly diseases like distemper and rabies before they are released.

A good life for the 99% isn’t a pipe dream: it can be done. Here’s how

Our plan is radical – but by transforming how we live on a finite planet, nearly everyone gains, says Thomas Piketty and researchers from th

A habitable, equal and prosperous 21st century is materially possible. The carbon budget allows it and history offers precedents at comparable scales: universal suffrage, the universalisation of healthcare and education, the halving of working hours and the sharp compression of inequality over the 20th century. Technical impossibility is not what is standing in the way, but rather the absence of a shared vision of social progress, at once concrete and radical. What it will take instead is political choice, and the hard work of coalition-building behind it.

I was despairing last night but Raye was right - my joy comes in the morning! This is the future I want to live in. And it is possible.

Spent a ridiculous amount of time last night obsessively editing my hand written zines in Photoshop to take away any tiny blemishes so they were definitely readable.

Whatever. Understand or don't.

saving what you have: visible mending

Visible mending is a way to fix clothes with holes in a decorative way. Instead of trying to make the mend invisible as possible, it can be fun and creative to hi light the tears and holes with stitching that adds to the garment. I think this method is super cool to repair clothes you may really want to keep but also make more beautiful.

There are many techniques to mending clothes and here are some popular techniques that will help you save your clothes and also reduce your consumption of fast-fashon!

darning

The embroidery technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches and thread woven in-between those stitches to repair a hole. If you’re interested in employing this stitch, check out this awesome darning tutorial by Evelyn Wood!

sashiko

This type of traditional Japanese mending practice is used to reinforce the strength of fabric as well as decorate. It is a great solution for mending holes with patches and well to reinforce thinning fabric! For learning the basics of Sashiko there is a wonderful beginners tutorial by Benzie Design.

patches

Patches are very versatile when used for repairing clothes. You can sew it over a hole in your fabric or you can also so the patch in the inside to have it peek out. There is a great tutorial for custom DIY patches by wastelesscrafts and Creating with misp has a tutorial on mending with a peek-through patch. 

happy mending!
