If blacksmiths make things out of metal, what do other colors of smith make?

You can remember them all with this popular nursery rhyme:

A blacksmith makes things out of metal.

A whitesmith makes records of queries.

A graysmith makes facts about serial killers up to match all of his theories.

A greensmith makes plants into tables.

A brownsmith grinds tables to dust.

A redsmith takes dust from those tables and plants and applies it to mirrors to rust.

A yellowsmith makes things from acids.

A bluesmith can make things from bases.

A chartreusmith can make things from any material, regardless of what their pH is.

A taupesmith makes things out of paper.

Eggshellsmiths carve stuff out of shell.

An ivorysmith poaches ivory, and that’s why they’re going to hell.

An orangesmith makes stuff that’s orange.

A purplesmith makes stuff that’s purple.

A silversmith makes things from silver, which is just the truth because nothing rhymes very well with the aforementioned colors.

for those not from the uk it may be helpful to clarify it is traditional in british society - which is highly archaic and very sensitive to superstition - for the cultic office of ‘prime minister’ to be held by someone who seems like kinda a dickhead because being a twat signifies ur ritual impurity, that is, a separation from mundane everyday affairs, that by turn grants him the right to govern

[liber-acephalus]

it may seem backwards but you cant judge it by any civilised standard

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, being spent on species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

Okay but frog genitalia are internal whereas male rats have among the largest proportionate ballsacks of any animal.

deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

Like you do need to recognise sometimes that a person is not picking up your social cues and adjust your communication style accordingly. If someone isn't understanding you then you need to change up how you're communicating and not just say the same thing over & over.

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)
