the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse

This just proves that Britain and British Colonies can’t grasp the concept of food despite killing millions for spices.

answeringmysister

Funny story about that! In Ye Olde Times, British food was highly spiced and flavored. But as soon as cheap access to spices became available and Everyone could access them, it became a signal of high class to NOT use spices! And a lot of the bullshit “I like to taste what my food actually is” attitude comes from that. “But normal, working class British food is also bland!” Why yes, it is. Because what was high class a few hundred years ago becomes middle class and then low class, as everyone copies the Cooler Kids.

it’s been nine years and twenty seven days since the pilot of pushing daisies aired on television and still no screenwriter has ever topped the line “bitch I was in proximity”

The world is a terrifying place but at least the erupting volcano of Mayon is waking the ancients to remind us of our place

Quick note: original art is by Kerby Rosanes

Another note: This is in reference to the Filipino legend from Albay called “Daragang Magayon” [literally translated into “beautiful maiden”, with “daraga” meaning “maiden” and “magayon” meaning “beautiful”]

She’s a folk heroine, whose love story can be read here

It is said that her lover, Panganoron, is the clouds that surround Mt. Mayon’s peak, while she is herself the volcano, which has always been seen as remarkably beautiful in shape

It’s said that the volcano grew where they were buried together

Which is why the shape of two lovers seen in the smoke of its most recent eruption is so culturally significant.

And really, really cool.

Five to ten minutes per day on a difficult task is always better than zero minutes per day. You don’t have to finish, you just have to start.

Pretend that school is a real job. For instance, pretend that lectures/discussions are your meetings with colleagues and that your homework is work you are being paid to do.

Always prioritize your health, your family, and your grades over extracurriculars. You only have one body, one family, and one chance to earn your GPA. You will have the rest of your life to add experiences to your resume.

Spend at least 1-2 hours per day doing absolutely nothing “productive”. This will increase your productivity overall. Trust me. Your brain needs time to feel like mush.

Watch Netflix/Youtube while you work out. It will make your work out more pleasant and it will free up more of your chill time for other things like self care, extra sleep, reading, etc.

Go through all of your social media accounts and unfollow anyone who you do not genuinely enjoy receiving updates from. It will reduce the time you spend scrolling and it will make your social media experience better.

Be honest with yourself when you feel like you are overextending yourself. You may feel bad about letting go of some commitments, but if you know you need to reduce your workload, others will understand.

Take 5-10 minute walks during your study breaks. It refreshes your mind, reenergizes your body, and prevents the negative effects of sitting for too long. You can even walk with your study partner to make it more fun.

During periods of time when your schedule is especially busy or when you are experiencing depression, use habit trackers for simple tasks like eating breakfast, flossing, making your bed, etc. It’s easy to let go of basic daily habits during periods of heightened stress so tracking them can help you take care of yourself.

Don’t compare yourself to anyone but yourself. Everyone is on their own unique journey, timeline, and life path. You know where you’re going and what you need to do to get there.

why you should all consider getting chickens

a small backyard, a decent fence and the will to make a safe coop for your fluffy dames is all you need to make it happen

they will eat your vegetable scraps and gobble down pretty much any kind of food waste, turning discarded crusts and mushy fruit into big fat eggs full of protein!

and depending on which breed you buy, they will lay an egg almost every day. free, nutritious food every morning! what other pet will do that?

it’s a misconception that eating eggs is inherently cruel, or that you need a rooster for your chickens to lay eggs! all the eggs you buy in supermarkets are unfertilised, which means there is no chance of that egg ever hatching. you’re not eating a potential life, your chickens will lay eggs regardless of whether there’s a rooster around

so only buy a rooster to go with your lovely ladies if you want baby chicks - otherwise, just get some girls and enjoy those omelettes!

the way cage egg farms are run is terrible, and you can’t always be sure that a free range farm is as idyllic as the picture you see on the carton. lots of sad chookies who can’t perch or scratch or eat grass and clean themselves. :(

this way, you will always be certain that your girls are happy, healthy, doing what chicken are meant to do and eating what chickens should be eating, which means bigger and better eggs for you!

you can give eggs to your friends! give eggs to strangers! eggs for everyone!

tiny and furious lawnmowers. chickens LOVE grass, especially clover. if you have a small backyard, they will do all the work of keeping the grass trimmed.

a caution, pls buy your chicken a friend - they will get lonely if you only buy one. my friend had two chickens and one died, leaving Gizmo all alone. she got depressed and stopped laying, so they put her in the rabbit hutch. now she has a best friend bunny called Jimmy and she’s very happy! she often sits on him and purrs.

chickens are good around most other pets - cats and chickens usually regard each other with mutual indifference and disdain, but they generally bond with dogs. however, if you know your pooch or kitty is particularly aggressive, make sure you check it won’t be a problem!

scratch scratch scratch, scratch party!!

one time I was cleaning out the stables and my chicken came over, saw that I was using a big rake and went !!!! scratch time!!! and she started scratching furiously next to me like she was trying to help

they’re very clean animals and will clean themselves every day with a dust bath and a thorough preening

when it starts raining it takes them a good 10 seconds to process what’s happening, then they RUN to shelter

gloriously stupid tiny velociraptor running

peck peck peck. is food? I check! peck. not food!

rip all snails and slugs that live in your garden

they will also go after mice and spiders

chicken poop is great fertiliser! when you clean out their coop, spread the poo on your garden and watch your flowers and veggies grow!

kiddos LOVE chickens!!

seriously, looking after chickens is a great job for little kids - any little fella can fill up their water and give them some food, and collecting a warm, fresh egg every morning is so rewarding for them!!!

hours of entertainment watching their antics

some (not all) like a cuddle! the ladies will let you know what their preference is. they may also gently peck and groom you because they love you.

you can give them fancy names like lottie, ethel and lady beatrice so it sounds like they’re a supporting cast in a Jane Austen novel

in conclusion give a pretty chicken a happy home today

elodieunderglass

Also: you want a bird friend? well it is PSYCHOLOGICALLY HEALTHY for you and the chicken to be friends! After thousand and thousands of years of domestication, chickens are basically genetically programmed to be happy to live with humans.

Good News of 2017

Chiune Sugihara. This man saved 6000 Jews. He was a Japanese diplomat in Lithuania. When the Nazis began rounding up Jews, Sugihara risked his life to start issuing unlawful travel visas to Jews. He hand-wrote them 18 hrs a day. The day his consulate closed and he had to evacuate, witnesses claim he was STILL writing visas and throwing from the train as he pulled away. He saved 6000 lives. The world didn’t know what he’d done until Israel honored him in 1985, the year before he died.

bemusedlybespectacled

Why can’t we have a movie about him?

elasmata

He was often called “Sempo”, an alternative reading of the characters of his first name, as that was easier for Westerners to pronounce.

His wife, Yukiko, was also a part of this; she is often credited with suggesting the plan. The Sugihara family was held in a Soviet POW camp for 18 months until the end of the war; within a year of returning home, Sugihara was asked to resign - officially due to downsizing, but most likely because the government disagreed with his actions.

He didn’t simply grant visas - he granted visas against direct orders, after attempting three times to receive permission from the Japanese Foreign Ministry and being turned down each time. He did not “misread” orders; he was in direct violation of them, with the encouragement and support of his wife.

He was honoured as Righteous Among the Nations in 1985, a year before he died in Kamakura; he and his descendants have also been granted permanent Israeli citizenship. He was also posthumously awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania (1993); Commander’s Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland (1996); and the Commander’s Cross with Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2007). Though not canonized, some Eastern Orthodox Christians recognize him as a saint.

Sugihara was born in Gifu on the first day of 1900, January 1. He achieved top marks in his schooling; his father wanted him to become a physician, but Sugihara wished to pursue learning English. He deliberately failed the exam by writing only his name and then entered Waseda, where he majored in English. He joined the Foreign Ministry after graduation and worked in the Manchurian Foreign Office in Harbin (where he learned Russian and German; he also converted to the Eastern Orthodox Church during this time). He resigned his post in protest over how the Japanese government treated the local Chinese citizens. He eventually married Yukiko Kikuchi, who would suggest and encourage his acts in Lithuania; they had four sons together. Chiune Sugihara passed away July 31, 1986, at the age of 86. Until her own passing in 2008, Yukiko continued as an ambassador of his legacy.

It is estimated that the Sugiharas saved between 6,000-10,000 Lithuanian and Polish Jewish people.

returnofthejudai

It’s a tragedy that the Sugiharas aren’t household names. They are among the greatest heroes of WWII. Is it because they were from an Axis Power? Is it because they aren’t European? I don’t know. But I’ve decided to always reblog them when they come across my dash. If I had the money, I would finance a movie about them.

westsemiteblues

He told an interviewer:

You want to know about my motivation, don’t you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes, Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent.

People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people’s lives….The spirit of humanity, philanthropy…neighborly friendship…with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation—and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.

He died in nearly complete obscurity in Japan. His neighbors were shocked when people from all over, including Israeli diplomatic personnel, showed up at quiet little Mr. Sugihara’s funeral.

Tucked away in a corner in L.A.’s Little Tokyo is a life-sized statue of Chiune, seated on a bench and smiling gently as he holds out a visa.

The stone next to him bears a quote from the Talmud; “He who saves one life, saves the entire world.”

I had no idea it existed until a few weeks ago, but it’s since become one of my favorite pieces of public art.
