[bbanditt]

[greywardenlisa]

[charlesoberonn-deactivated20150]

It got funnier when I realized just how many tulips are in this picture.

[guardgenie]

“In a world where tulips were yellow, one dared to be different…”

[slightly-fanatic]

Every spring this picture comes back around and every spring I crack up

[al-the-stuff-i-like]

at first you just see the row of tulips in the foreground, and it’s funny

then you see the rows stretching back for yards and yards, and it’s even funnier

[ctnctnctnctnctn]

i found the video it’s from and it’s called “Myxomycetologists nightmare…”

[crabussy]

thinking about diatoms again

[crabussy]

microscopic living stars made of glass that eat the sun. and they're all around us. in every body of water. glass sun-eating stars.

[crabussy]

I like them a lot. they produce up to half of all earth's oxygen. the air you breathe is thanks to sun-eating stars made of glass. and that's pretty cool.

[crabussy]

and you know. like oblongs and triangles and some other bullshit

For those who have missed it, a tourist in Hawaii decided it would be fun to chuck a rock (a BIG rock) at a monk seal. He missed, but he was captured on video, and when told it was illegal to interfere with them, said "I'm rich, I can pay the fine."

Is the best part that he got doxxed? No.

Is the best part that he got tracked down by a local and beaten? No.

Arrested on state at federal charges, looking at up to 5 years and 50K? Nope.

The best part is the local city council's reaction.

And the best part of that is the look on the attorney's face.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Two days in a row and still nothing! And a couple weeks ago, AND again a few days before that. give me my thunderstorm!!!

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Hmm.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

It did not.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

100% chance of precipitation? right now and for the rest of the day?? Well you said that 2 hours ago and it's still sunny out

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

Well it wasn't nothing, but that was definitely only sample sized. The kind of portion of thunderstorm they'd give you in a little paper cup at the grocery store to entice you into buying the full thing.

[pterribledinosaurdrawings]

It's done this twice in the past week, and once we got some big clouds and a bit of strong wind and some thunder, but then nothing happened. Please. take away the humidity.

TL;DW

the image of the voodoo doll as a magic doll you stab to hurt people actually comes from a practice by english pagan witches of making poppets. the poppet would be made in the shape of someone you hate and filled with their hair and then stabbed with big needles repeatedly. and the poppets got conflated with voodoo dolls later on.

voodoo dolls were actually a way of keeping records when black people were prevented from reading or writing. a voodoo priest who would serve as a communities doctor would make a doll that looks like the patient, and stick a pin in it where the patient was experiencing symptoms, this would let the doctor keep track of who was having what issues. for example if a patient has a headache, the voodoo priest puts a pin in the dolls head. the priest gives the patient a treatment, when the patient comes back the priest knows which doll is theirs because it looks like them, and they know they're dealing with a headache because the doll has a pin in it's head. when the symptoms resolve the pin is removed, until then the doctor has a reminder that this is an ongoing issue for a specific patient.

I wrote this because when I saw it this post had a TL;DW that conflated the information about poppets and the information about voodoo dolls, creating new and original misinformation about voodoo dolls that comes from confusing them with poppets so like don't reblog that one maybe.

also someone else in the chain included this freeze frame so you can read it
