CurioCabinet

🐍🕊️ Things I saw, liked, and wanted to put in my pocket and bring home. A structureless assortment of fandom, humor, ecology, history, language, and other things that help make sense of existence. Also, some attempts at writing things myself, because this seems like a safe place for that. And occasionally politics because that's important (though often upsetting). I reblog a lot because I've heard that's the best way to show appreciation and boost voices. It also makes this blog a mess to scroll through and I'm not sure what to do about that, but I think I'm ok with it.

the thing is that for all its supposed faults, i would take this brand of 90s utopian globalism over whatever the fuck we’ve been doing for the last 10 years in a heartbeat

i was at an event last night in california and i went to the bar to order wine bc wine was like, a thing, and i looked at the menu and saw i was completely out of my depth bc idk any wine names, so i turned to my right and there was a man in a gorgeous suit standing at the bar beside me and i said “do you know anything about wine?” and he said “a little, yes!” i told him i liked white and dry wines and asked if he’d order for me. he asked the server for two glasses and had one poured for each of us and then he clinked his glass on mine but he didn’t take a sip, he just watched me taste mine and then he asked what i thought and i said “it’s pretty good, but like i said, i wouldn’t know.” he laughed and told me to have a good time & i walked away. fifteen minutes later i found out he’s the winemaker.

Interesting how the first article link’s title named him the restaurant owner and referred to Thy Mitchell only as his wife.

The next article credits her as a restaurateur. That all should have been easily verifiable and uncontentious information.

I make the same face every time theres some documentary talking like "the ancient Egyptians believed the Nile river was sacred" and i'm like....well yeah? Its kind of like, the only reason their entire society exists? Seems pretty reasonable to me

[killhitleragain]

also not only is the nile river the entire reason their society existed, but the nile river is incredibly predictable. it has followed the same course for over 10 thousand years. it floods at the same time every year. there is no other river like it, and while obviously the egyptian scope of the world only stretched so far, they knew enough to know that the nile was special.

CRIMINAL MINDS 2.21 — "Open Season"

[knitmeapony]

Yes yes yes this scene thank you for the tag, heehehehe

[kalindashepard]

It’s funny because this scene must be based on the memoir Special Agent by Candis DeLong. In it she describes being out looking at clothes at a department store on lunch break with another female agent and overhearing a conversation between a man and a woman in which he says he’s an FBI agent. They peer around some clothes racks thinking that they’re going to see one of their fellow agents trying to get a date, and when they don’t recognize the guy they go over and pretend to be interested in the big strong FBI agent themselves and ask to see his badge. The guy actually pulled out a fake badge, whereupon they said “Huh, that doesn’t look anything like ours…”, produced their own badges and arrested him for impersonating an FBI agent. (I remember this bit from a 25 year old book because I actually stole it myself for a fic)

[knitmeapony]

Exquisite. Glorious. 10/10 thank you for sharing.
