"Getting into this hobby is actually super cheap and easy!!!! First, start with a section of land and a house that you own and can mess up at your discretion"
The original inspiration for this is that I've looked up a lot of basic woodworking stuff multiple times to try and make better and better tortoise enclosures, and ended up in this trap every time lmao
"It's much cheaper to just buy this size of wood and take it to your table saw" WHAT FUCKING TABLE SAW
the secret is that people who have a garage with a table saw are constantly looking for reasons to justify that use of space and money. so if you find somebody with a table saw and ask if you can use it, you're actually doing them a huge favor by justifying the saw continuing to take up space. "of course I need a table saw. what if somebody needs to upgrade a turtle enclosue."
#1. go to local gay bar 2. find group of 50-60 yr olds. 3. ask if anyone has a table saw 4. watch eyes light up
With this four step plan you get a place to practice woodworking with optional sex with some older men
For anyone wanting it, they can cut your material for you at most Home Depots if you need it
But can I have sex with older men there
I am never leaving this site
I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
I always wondered if these had a name. Now I know. :)
This made my day
Fieldwork tip: sometimes in the Forest you will find deer desire paths. “Oh!” says your brain, “this will lead me to somewhere cool!”
It will not. The deer wants to go to heavy brush and surge up a steep hill with its powerful hindquarters and presumably collect all the deer ticks living along the deer desire path. Waiting. You are a human, you want to meander along the side of the hill in absolutely no brush at all, thank you. Your desires are not compatible. You must abandon the deer path.
Cow desire paths though: flat as pancakes, always lead you to water or meadows. Useful things.
Thank god someone else said it. When I saw that path in the woods and it was talking about human curiosity I was like... no. Other animals besides humans make paths.
Sometimes it's a really bad idea to follow them.
Especially if you don't want to get covered in deer ticks.
i hate the word spicy can we bring back calling things erotic

Under videos and articles about how the hantavirus outbreak is possibly spreading for person to person and they’re having to do contact tracing for several sick passengers who flew publicly and now there is a French guy who possibly caught it from sharing a plane with the elderly woman who died, there are my fellow Americans saying shit like “Maybe I’ll take up violin this lockdown.” or “I don’t want to do the whole quarantine thing again :(” it is so cute that you think that we will have a lockdown to inhibit/slow viral spread. It’s adorable that you think this administration will take any sort of measures to stop the outbreak of a (far more deadly than COVID) virus, especially since they’re refusing to acknowledge the measles outbreak. The U.S. is no longer part of the WHO. The right has spent the last 6 years sowing the seeds of medical mistrust and toxic individualism to the degree that a large portion of the population will never comply with masking and quarantining mandates under any circumstances. Lockdown was terrible for the general public’s mental health and terrible for the economy but it slowed the spread and protected the vulnerable. These anti-science troglodytes coughing on everyone else at Walmart and dying will be even worse for our mental health and even worse for the economy. Let’s hope it stays in Europe and South Africa because if it spreads to the U.S. under this administration, the devastation will be catastrophic.
you are required to accept that there is a vast conspiracy at all levels of power that has worked for hundreds of years to make you, and everyone you have ever known, more racist. you are required to accept that it has been extremely effective, it worked, you are racist.
you are required to become less racist.
when you are told that you are being racist, you are required to understand that as being offered assistance in resisting this vast conspiracy. say thank you.
you are required to cope with feeling guilty about being racist. your shame is only important to you, its only value is that it motivates you to be less racist.
(End)
Amazing arc. No notes.
I had this thought and wanted to inflict it on more people.

>Predominately Black led piece of media becomes popular.
>Among the characters there are one or two White characters with minor and/or distinctly antagonistic roles.
>White tumblr users focus entirely on said White characters.
>Tag of Black led piece of media is filled with posts about White character(s)
>Rinse. Repeat.
I think the most charitable interpretation of this is that people connect to characters that are like them, and that the experiences of Blackness is so alien to them that the White characters are the only ones that White people connect with. Combine that with the fact that Tumblr is so White as a platform, and you get this issue.
It’s still bad and racist, but it is understandable. People should still do better though. (I’m not trying to justify, I’m trying to come up with an explanation)
Please don’t make me say it.
We don't need you coming up with an charitable interpretation.
Prev tags too good to leave in the tags
Or maybe the reason people like the queer character over the two related het characters is because of the queerness.
If Smoke and Stack weren't related and Mary and Annie were in a relationship then things would be so much different.
But there are so little black queer fantasy movies or shows that no one blinks an eye.
Where are the black gay vampire hunters? The enemies to lover black lesbian werewolf story?
Sinners 's problem isn't a racism one. It is a queer one.
You said all that just to still focus on the fucking white man?
I SHOULD BEAT YOUR ASS
NEVERMIND I'M KILLING YOUR DUMBASS
Y'all. It's a dark fantasy piece about vampires set in the Jim Crow south. The protagonists must choose between vampiric undeadness and a state-sanctioned genocidal act they already know is coming in the morning when/if they defeat the vampires trying to kill them all night.
We've had countless cis, het, Caucasian led vampire films. I don't recall seeing this much blowback from them not telling a more inclusive vampire story.
Come on, now. Y'all know what it is, right?
Anyway. white people like assess and never once self reflecting. It’s narcissism all the way down.
As Lincoln once said, better to let people believe you are stupid then to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
do you remember when we could post boobs and and pussy and penis and balls and taint on this site and nobody had to show their license and registration to see it 😔 was that developmentally good for 13 year old me? no. but I genuinely believe it is better than living in a dystopian advertiser friendly state with no anonymity and I would pick opening my Tumblr and seeing untagged porn at 14 over this bullshit any day
If you ever wondered why they call tattoos and piercings "unprofessional" and "unsophisticated"

tony's chocolonely mildly pisses me off every time i eat it. like yeah i get it ur doing a whole symbolism thing about unfairness and whatever, but its actually SO DIFFICULT to eat fucking. gerrymandered chocolate. your symbolism is ruining my chocolate experience.
who approved this.
like. ur already more expensive. i understand this. i am willing to pay more money to have slave-free delicious chocolate. why must you punish me further by making it a goddamn puzzle to break a piece off.
Tony's Chocolonely does not ensure a living wage for cocoa workers in West Africa (see 2020 report by Voice Network).
Food Empowerment Project maintains an updated list of chocolate brands they recommend based on the following standards:
transparency about the country of origin for cocoa
if sourced from Western Africa, the workers must own the companies/be in charge of the profits from their labor (this standard is because child labor and slavery have been widely documented for decades in this area)
if sourced from Brazil, the workers must own the company and/or be in charge of the profits from their labor, or the company must be going above and beyond to support the workers and their families (this standard is because "child labor and slavery only recently have been documented in cocoa in Brazil" and they are "giving Brazilian companies that are trying to address the issue by supporting the workers and their families the benefit of the doubt.")
this isn't perfect, obviously, but it is much more grounded in the rights of workers than the various certifications (e.g. Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance, etc.) you'll see on product packaging
I think it should be noted that the Food Empowerment Project specifically only lists companies making "at least one vegan chocolate product" and that they only ask about the companies' vegan chocolates specifically. Their list is not an exhaustive resource for every type of chocolate.
[Source: "Understanding Our Chocolate List" from their website]
Before I found that link I was curious as to why I didn't see any Norwegian manufacturers on their list(which makes sense now, as their chocolates are almost exclusively milk chocolate) and looked up where our companies source their chocolate from and found Nidar gets theirs from the Rainforest Alliance and Freia from Cocoa Life, both of which have been under scrutiny for not preventing child labour and not paying farmers a living wage among other things. So it appears Norwegian chocolate is out of the ethical picture.
I stated this in the comments of the post already, but it’d probably be better to add it as a reblog, so it’s more visible and doesn’t need to be restated by anyone else in the future.
So, Tony’s allied with Barry Callebut to get its cocoa. Barry Callebut is one of the biggest chocolate companies in the world, and it is unethical, obviously. This led to Tony’s revealing in February 2022 that 1701 child laborers were in their supply chain. Barry Callebut had over 21K at the time. Both of those numbers have risen, and Tony’s has outright admitted they don’t give a fuck about child labor laws when asked about it, content to let children to continue farming their cocoa instead of actually doing the activism they claim to do. (business-humanrights.org, feb 6 2022)
About a week ago, Tony’s joined Barry, Nestle and Ferrero in pushing against the reinstatement of important EUDR deforestation legislations. Under that regulation that they pushed against, they would’ve had to be more transparent about their supply chains for their more key ingredients - So Tony’s is lobbying against the exact thing they claim to stand for. (confectioneryproduction.com, mar 18, 2026)
Won’t restate @closet-keys’s addition, of course. That’d just be redundant and maybe annoying since, yknow, it’s already been said.
If you wanna find a better chocolate brand it’s really damn easy. There’s lists on slavefreechocolate.org of both the ethical and unethical companies. Both lists can be found here:
Below is a list of chocolate companies that only use ethically grown cocoa. Find out how you can tell if the chocolate you are ea
And it doesn’t have the vegan product restriction the other list has, which solves @aloofraven’s issue.
You’ll now notice that none of those shovelware mobile game ads never have a Black main character. You’d think with so many of them this would happen incidentally or even occasionally, but you’d be wrong
You’ll now notice that almost every video game that has character customization will always have the base character be white and use that model for the cover and promos for the game.
You’ll now notice how Ancient Egyptian themed/coded characters 99% of the time are the lightest possible shade of brown.
It’s imperative that while reading these you imagine me doing a waving hand gesture a lá Obi Wan Kenobi
Hey @agent47-official , that was really funny 😄
You’ll now notice how few Black ppl there are in a galaxy far, far away
So video games are a white person activity. That's what I'm told by the black people I actually interact with every day. 'My kids don't watch no video games. My kids play ball!' so that's your culture. Your culture actively says they don't play video games....yet then you get mad when you're not represented in video games. Imagine if I was like 'man, LeBron James isn't a white guy. What kind of bullshit is this?' You guys are literally pissed off that a community you don't even want to be involved in isn't including you.
Oh damn, I guess you’re an expert of Black culture and know what every single Black person is interested in as we’re all the same. The Black ppl you interact with are the only True Blacks and thus dictate what we all do and like. I shouldn’t have spoken, please forgive me and I’ll stay in my lane of only basketball 😩😭
Shut it down everyone. Cancel the representation matters movement. A contrarian edgelord's black friend said we'd all rather play basketball instead.
Damn, guess I better go get to the nearest court and work on my dribbling skills since basketball is the only thing us Blacks can do 😓. I’ll throw out all my non basketball interests and only wear jerseys from now on. And I’ll need a statue of LeBron James to worship, do you know where I can find one for cheap?😭
Bruh. Less talking and more dribbling please...
