Update. At the convention. I’ve gotten several incredulous “are you from MY IMMORTAL?!?!?”

Nature is healing

to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!

i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies

Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe 💚

Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.

just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.

i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape

just tried to reference the xkcd "today's lucky 10,000" comic but I wanted to explain xkcd first, so I was like "you probably know the one about experts in the field overestimating their audience's familiarity with the subject matter" and uh. he didn't. love me some irony

For the curious, this chap is processing flax, then spinning it into cordage, then twisting those cords into rope.

This is from Eugenio Monesma, a man who has dedicated his life to making documentaries about all the living traditions and craftsmen that still live in Spain, is not the first time I’ve seen his stuff uncredited on Tik Tok, which is a shame because he has over 20 years worth of videos of his work for free on his channel.

Even if you don’t understand Spanish do give it a look please, very interesting stuff, you’re sure to find something interesting across his 1000+ videos.

Luckyly this video comes with subtitles so please enjoy seeing the process more in depth

You're all required to hear anything I post in a Gonzo voice from now on. That's what I sound like.

mapsontheweb

US climate with equivalent cities from around the world.

Keep reading

shabbytigers

This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.

shabbytigers

so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call

OK, this is super neat and also a great tool for writers’

i had a dream last night that the entire world used a currency (?) called angrypennies which as the name implies are obtained by experiencing anger. the stronger and more intense your anger was, the more angrypennies you'd gain. an all-consuming rage would earn you more than a slight irritation, etc. so people were always searching for ways to fuel their anger and purposefully keeping themselves angry all the time because they wanted to earn angrypennies. unclear if angrypennies could be exchanged for goods and services, or if they were just a collectible.

anyway, as if this wasn't heavy-handed enough, at one point british comedian greg davies appeared and explained that angrypennies couldn't be worth feeling angry all the time. this was a real revelation to dream-me and i was finally able to break free of the angrypenny grind and allow myself to experience emotions other than anger.

kat

it goes without saying that i will be using the word angrypenny as if it was part of the common vernacular instead of a term that my dreaming brain conjured up i.e. "he's all about the angrypennies" (derogatory way to refer to a guy who searches for reasons to be angry and possibly lacks introspection)

@elodieunderglass mold? Gene?

elodieunderglass

Ohhh that’s extremely funny! I can see what happened -

schimmelgen is a German horse term for the “greying gene”. This gene means a horse that progressively turns more and more white. Zarco here is pretty white-looking - a cremello or perlino - because he has genes that have “diluted” his base colour; but he also carries the gene that turns horses white with age, and some people like that, so this ad for his posthumous frozen sperm is talking it up.

Proper “White” horses, like Shadowfax, are born darkish, and the greying process is progressive. They usually go through an intermediate stage that can last a few years, called being a “dapple grey.” The dapples grow and radiate outwards.

The “dapple” stage does indeed look mouldy, or mildewed! And in German, grey horses are called “schimmel,” which also means “mouldy.” Schimmelgen is thus “mould gene.” Technically.

Horse colours are actually not as interesting or dignified as horse people think they are, and if you want to call this a mouldy horse, I think you should!

elodieunderglass

Because I can sense that you will appreciate this, I must caution you against translating “schimmel” to “white” in English! By long convention, English insists that these horses are “grey,” even if they are visibly white. People will swoop in to correct you, even if you are technically correct. That can be annoying, but in this case, I hope you find this amusing!

I posted this on bluesky and then couldn't rest until I made it real

Surely Viziers Monthly would only ever have rulers on the cover for that exact reason.

All the other viziers and éminence grises and evil advisors will know who got their liege on the cover. The machinations to achieve it would be cunning and meticulous.

At most, their name might be mentioned in a footnote, or perhaps a photo credit on an insert image on page 3.
