the man who owns and runs the thai restaurant in my town knows me by name. he is one of the kindest and most thoughtful men i know. i started ordering from his place back in january, which was when i got my fibromyalgia diagnosis. back then i was using a walker, had limited mobility in my entire body but especially my hands, and was very visibly in pain. i always ordered the same thing: yellow curry with no meat, potatoes and carrots only (i have texture and other dietary issues). he always made it a point to make sure i could get out the door and carry the food safely. he had his workers package the food so that it was easier for me to open. as i kept coming back and i told him a little bit about my health status, he would always encourage me to keep going. he told me about how the spices he used were good for inflammation and began to edit the recipe just for me so that spices that were even better for fighting inflammation were used. he’d give me extra portions and despite the fact that i would tip every time, i realized later that he never charged my card for them. as time went on and my condition began to get better, he would make encouraging remarks and tell me how happy he was for me. the day i came in without my walker, he practically jumped for joy, and despite my insistence, he gave me my meal for free that day. i continue to make progress with my conditions and i continue to go to the thai place. this man who does not know me personally and who i hardly know anything about is one of my favorite people. it’s interactions with humans like these that make loving life easier. and his curry really does help my chronic condition. it’s comfort food taken to the next level.

thequeenoftheentiregoddamnworld

Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone

the way prehistoric animal documentaries will talk about extinction like it happens because of “a failure to evolve” as though evolution is a meritocracy is so funny and so scary

chaumas-deactivated20240115

this species persisted over the eons because of its Protestant work ethic to produce more of a specific kind of digestive enzyme that allowed it to extract 4% more nutrients from the dominant plant species in the area

I have worked in scicomm for a decade, some of that at a paleontology. I would ask you to trust me that evolution is popularly mischaracterized like a kind of smart investment rather than a game of chance and circumstance and that every day I had to find ways to delicately correct guests’ misunderstandings, but you can literally just watch almost any dinosaur or prehistoric animal documentary with an ear for the language and framing around it. You could probably make a drinking game out of it but I think you might die if you took a shot every time a dinosaur documentary invoked the concept of monarchy alone.

The language used in communicating scientific concepts is not neutral—just look at how the concept of evolutionary “fitness” has been warped in popular understanding to justify eugenics and ableism. There are some really good papers out there on stuff like the rhetoric of invasive species and how it reflects and reinforces xenophobic and nationalistic sentiments—to the point that some of it just reads like find-and-replace Yellow Peril propaganda.

This reminds me of how Walking With Dinosaurs would always try to be like "the dinosaurs stopped being as adaptable" as if that's what wiped them out and not a Chicago-sized asteroid dropping into the Gulf of Mexico, and even as a little kid watching my dinosaur shows I was just like "yeah, I don't think we'd do so hot if someone dropped a giant space rock on us either"

You can't evolve around air that's suddenly unbreathable (Great Oxygenation Event), sudden onset climate change (Ordovician, current), big space rock (Devonian, Cretaceous), or the floor suddenly becoming lava (Permian-Triassic, Triassic-Jurassic): sometimes you're on a great roll with natural selection and the universe still decides "you know what? Fuck you: gamma ray burst, motherfucker!" (Pleistocene Exinction Event)

i'd make a joke about "let the HUSBAND giggle under the covers and tell HIS WIFE to put that camera away before dying before HIS WIFE'S story starts" but lets be real he'd still get more fanart

sir do you understand that you are being criticized right now

tinkerbitch69

The best thing about tumblr is you can just make a criticism of a very specific person completely unprompted and then that person will appear as if summoned in your notes to prove your point for you.

More pieces from the Vinita Cultural Center from last year's basketry exhibit

#the museum i worked at had a collection of these baskets!!!#they are like #idk its hard to describe them #they dont look quite like regular baskets they look like so beautiful #anyways check out the Mountain Heritage Center's exhibit on cherokee/rivercane baskets to learn more

Yes, for some reason I don't think they had any Rivercane baskets at this exhibit, the Vinita cultural center is a bit small so maybe that had to do with it? But traditionally Rivercane baskets look like this:

(credit to Lizzie "Nannie" Youngblood and Rowana Bradley, artist unknown for the Chief's Heart shoppers basket)

The basket pictured in the post is likely commercial round reed (with some flat reed), the commercial form of the materials we would use such as Honeysuckle, Buckbrush, or Trumpet Vine. Many Western Cherokee picked up round reed basketry due to lack of supply of Rivercane after the forced removal to Oklahoma.

I'm not exactly sure what you're referring to in regards to this post but I am a tribal member who is posting this and these were taken at our own museum within our own territory in Oklahoma. This information provided is provided by our knowledge keepers and elders.

I am one of these people you talk about being alive, sharing my culture 🙂

I strongly dislike how "some museums have unethical practices, and repatriation of stolen goods should be a high priority when applicable" has morphed into "all museums are evil, and museums are an unethical and untrustworthy source of information by nature."

Also a really useful thing in lefty queer progressive whatever type spaces is "getting over yourself" and really knowing the phrase "sure they get on my nerves but I don't think we should hunt them for sport". Like sometimes your morals/principles/political goals/etc are more important than whatever interpersonal beef you have. I mean just in general you need to be able to be annoyed without killing someone about it but especially if you're aiming for, like... actual meaningful solidarity and community and shit like that

Like you know I'm a hater. Off the top of my head I can name Three pretty prominent names in the Trans Blogging sphere who irritate me for, like, reasons of varying validity, yknow. Sometimes you just don't vibe with somebody that's natural. They also happen to get Harassment Campaigned a lot & I won't participate in any of that because I'm not a fucking ghoul. Something something rules of engagement. You can't have exceptions
