I absolutely love this viking dragonship incense burner! Not only is the design appealing & striking, but it works well too - the “belly” of the boat is broad & deep enough to collect all the ash.
Where did you get yours?!
Oh sorry, I got mine HERE
They’re $14.99 with free shipping
My dad is obsessed with Vikings I need to get this like now.
I have this! My best friend bought it for me! It’s epic!
Chinese History and the Avatar World: The White Lotus
A slight twist on my usual “Chinese History and…” series.
The Order of the White Lotus is likely inspired by the China’s real-life White Lotus Society.
The White Lotus Society (白蓮敎) originated as a hybrid religion of Buddhism and Manichaeism that centered on the worship of the goddess Wusheng Laomu (無生老母), also called Wujimu (無極母). However, what the White Lotus is most remembered for was its tendency to constantly foment revolutions, uprisings, and all other forms of dynasty-shaking upheaval throughout Chinese history. Examples of the White Lotus’ many rebellions:
White Lotus monk Peng Yingyu organized rebellions in the 1330s to protest the Mongol’s rule over China (the Yuan Dynasty).
White Lotus monk Zhu Yuanzhang leads another revolutionary army against Mongol rule in 1352. He wins the Chinese masses to his side by forbidding his soldiers from pillaging in observance of White Lotus religious beliefs. By 1355, the rebellion spreads throughout much of China. By 1387, the White Lotus finally liberates China from Mongol-rule.
In 1774, White Lotus herbalist and martial artist Wang Jun leads an uprising that captures three small cities and lays siege to the larger city of Linqing. After initial success, he was outnumbered and defeated by Qing troops.
In 1794, the White Lotus leads another rebellion in central China to protest unfair taxes. In 1904, the Qing dynasty finally puts an end to the revolution after 10 years of warfare and suppression.
In 1812, White Lotus leader Lin Qing declares that he is the reincarnation of Gautama Buddha and is destined to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. In 1813, he leads an attack on the Forbidden City that comes to be known as the Eight Trigrams uprising of 1813. By the time the government suppressed the revolt, more than 20,000 Eight Trigrams members had been killed. It is estimated that 70,000 were killed in total during the period of disorder.
When you consider that the final episodes of Avatar involve a secret society of spiritual old men driving out foreign occupying government from a Chinese-inspired city and also giving their full support to a divinely-chosen monk, is it any wonder why the creators chose to name this group after The White Lotus?
two awkward bisexuals who both know they're into each other but are way too awkward and bi to be emotionally honest
Watch how prince philip’s death completely takes over the news cycle and sidelines the actual carnage happening in northern ireland
Last night saw rioting on both sides of the peace wall in belfast
19 police officers were injured
The PSNI then turned water canons on the rioters (despite the fact loyalists have been rioting for a week, only the nationalist rioters were subjected to this)
The people have no faith in the police or the politicians and there is no end in sight
You won’t hear about any of this though.
Instead of a stoic hero and a chatty villain or a chatty hero and a stoic villian imagine if they’re both chatty. Just, the villian trying their best to kill the hero while the two of them have a in-depth discussion about their opinion of pumpkin spice
Villian: *shoots laser* No but seriously orange is a really fun color
Hero, dodging: but your entire room? I’m not painting my entire room orange
Villain: *stabs at the hero and misses* well then why did you ask my opinion on paint colors if you’re not going to listen

Holy shit

Tiktok 1: What's the weirdest thing about you body that you haven't gotten fixed yet?
Tiktok 2: (unintelligible) I started having issues hearing out of my right ear so i go to the doctor like any normal person would, and the guy looks in my ear with that little flashlight nozzle thing and he goes, "hm." And I go, "what?" And he says, "You don't have an ear canal."
Well I DID! Haven't missed any payments, who took it?!
He sends me to the very convenient ear specialist around the corner who then looks in my ear and goes, "JESUS!"
That is not the first thing I want my doctor to say to me! You think you know where this is going and you think it's gonna be a bug- WRONG.
This man informs me that there is a small tooth-sized bone growing across my ear. So I'm sitting there trying to process this like, "So should I go to the dentist?" And he goes "Oh, no it's only covering about 60% of your ear canal so as long as it doesn't start growing more then you don't need immediate surgery." So now I can't go underwater or else it gets trapped behind my ear-tooth!
Also, to the person on twitter who said I wasn't getting enough action so my body had to start 'boning' itself?
That was mean.
He was older than every single African country’s independence

“first seek ye the kingdom of pure practical intelligence shreds of posters and headlines shards of gramophone records feathers lights shining arcs the well-lit borders when the rush-hour comes and the hour of the pile-up and the sounds of breaking steel-plate and people are heard in the dark when the journey is broken, no one is on the right road”
— Pentti Saarikoski, Helsinki
Even amidst the brain-meltingly stupid media onslaught, it's important to understand that Philip's death represents a major blow to the monarchy. The British State and its media are in overdrive because this brings into sharp relief the Queen's own mortality and the fragility of the entire institution. They have to engage in a complete psychological and cultural blitz, complete with the most pathetic displays of forelock-tugging and imperial pomp, just to distract from the fact that Philip's death likely represents the beginning of the end for the monarchy.
not just the british monarchs, i wish to see the dissolution of every royal family living in Europe. revoke their titles, their positions, seize their funds and their estates, throw them on the streets, banish them from the continent. redistribute the nationalised wealth between colonised nations.
I hope the queen does something romantic like dying of a broken heart in the next week- nah I'm just kidding I want her to get run over by the funeral profession until she's just a smear
Biden tries to get into a plane to grace the funeral but he trips and falls down the stairs and dies
