ask me about the difference between leopard/cheetah/jaguar print, it’s my field of expertise 

[woundedtoaster]

What is the difference? Please learn me a thing

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

cheetahs got dots! little dot dots i want to bop

leopards got filling. it’s cheetah 2.0. Cheetah on meth. look at that leopard shit. 

then there’s jaguar. Jaguar is madness. it took leopard print & decided wait. what if–MAW DOTS. it’s just leopard print with dots in the middle, it’s chaos

look at this bullshit

i’m angry just looking at it

so in ascending order: Cheetah < Leopard < Jaguar

C.L.J. someone come up with weird mnemonic for that, i’ve done enough work for you greedy bastards

THANK YOU FOR SOURCES

[wiisagi-maiingan]

I've talked about this before but drink whatever you want to hydrate yourself. Water, juice, milk, hot tea, bottled tea, flavored water, Gatorade, lemonade, homemade electrolyte drinks, sparkling water, etc. Buy cirkul catridges or electrolyte packets, infuse your water with fruits or herbs or whatever, make seven smoothies a day, as long as it gets liquid in your body. ALL of that provides hydration because it's all made from water and despite some very persistent myths, it takes A LOT of sugar to cancel out water.

If you don't like plain water, and a lot of people don't and that is FINE, then it is a million times better to find beverages that you will actually drink than to be dehydrated because you keep trying to force yourself to drink something you don't like.

Obligatory disclaimer that this does NOT apply to alcohol. Another less serious disclaimer that caffeine is more complicated; coffee and energy drinks and the like will still hydrate you to a degree but less than non-caffeinated beverages and you should also be drinking other things too. Only getting your water alongside caffeine, especially if you don't eat a whole lot, can seriously fuck you up both mentally and physically. No, I'm definitely not speaking from years of experience, why do you ask?

[a-kinky-introvert]

My main question is how this works with tea? Does the caffeine in my black or green tea make the hydration less effective like with coffee?

[wiisagi-maiingan]

Tea is still mainly water. The main issue with caffeine and hydration is that caffeine is a diuretic, so you urinate a lot more when you drink caffeinated beverages than non-caffeinated ones, but it takes a lot of caffeine to outweigh the benefits of the water in drinks like tea and coffee. From what I can find, you'd need to drink about 500 mg of caffeine for it to start dehydrating you, which is why ONLY drinking tea and coffee is dangerous but not when paired with non-caffeinated drinks throughout the day. So continue enjoying your tea, just grab some other drinks too :)

Gutted to learn that the incredible Anthony Head passed away. I need everyone to see thos incredible edit of him

[donuts-multifandom-hellhole]

Something that I get chills about is the fact that the oldest story told made by the oldest civilization opens with "In those days, in those distant days, in those ancient nights."

This confirms that there is a civilization older than the Sumerians that we have yet to find

Some people get existential dread from this

Me? I think it's fucking awesome it shows just how much of this world we have yet to discover and that is just fascinating

[sleepymccoy]

@makaeru peer review cos this made me check when the Sumerians happened and I forget how recent history is for every other continent. 7000 - 8000 years ago just isn't that long when you're in Australia, and the amount of detailed history we have access to here is wonderful and should be recognised more internationally

Source (non Aboriginal)

And a quote I picked out from a longer interview with an Aboriginal local elder about the area where he touched on the history

Source (the rest of the interview is really interesting and all transcribed, have a look if you're curious)

[chaotic-archaeologist]

This is part of my Ancient Civilizations class that I teach, which does a whole week about Australia and the Torres Strait Islands because I was sick of never seeing them represented in USAmerican history contexts. With the help of @micewithknives and @acearchaeologist I've learned so many incredible things about Australia's past and it's been incredibly rewarding to share them with students.

[aggressivelybicaptainamerica]

My favorite fact about Aboriginal oral history is the fact that we pretty recently discovered that the Aboriginal myth of the 7 Sisters, an origin story for the Pleiades star cluster, accurately reflects a point TEN THOUSAND YEARS AGO when two stars in the constellation got close enough together to no longer be distinguishable by the naked eye.

The story? 6 sisters running from something that took their 7th sister.

as a gilgar gunditj woman, i was not expecting to see my culture on my dash.

thank you for spreading our words and treating our culture with respect.

[newguineatribalart]

Australia contains some of the world's oldest surviving rock art traditions, with cultural landscapes stretching back tens of thousands of years. This visual guide explores the remarkable diversity of Aboriginal rock art across the continent, from the elegant Gwion Gwion figures and powerful Wandjina ancestors of the Kimberley, to the X-ray paintings of Arnhem Land, the Quinkan spirits of Cape York, the petroglyphs of the Pilbara, and the stencil galleries of Carnarvon Gorge.

Each region developed its own artistic language, reflecting local Dreaming stories, ancestral beings, Country, and cultural traditions. Together these rock art traditions reveal the depth, sophistication, and continuity of the world's oldest living culture.

Discover how Aboriginal rock art connects people, place, spirituality, and history across Australia.

OK SO I ALMOST GOT SCAMMED BUT LUCKILY I DID NOT FALL FOR THEIR FEARMONGERING

Also, this scammer has reblogged estonian blogs and messaged me on my estonian sideblog, so eestiblr, look out.

@martian-night messaged me and said they accidentally reported my account and directed me to discord. Out of fear and intrigue i messaged the supposed support person, valentine uhovski, and he started asking me for personal details. The obvious red flags were that they i had to dm uhovski on discord and that he didn't appear to be affiliated with tumblr anymore. Oh well, I made the mistake so you don't have to! Also what proves their guilt is that martian night has blocked me.

The most basic, intractable fact about mental illnesses is that you simply cannot willpower your way out of them. The only exceptions to this rule are the ones I have, which continue to disable me due to lack of determination and other grave personal flaws
