Something like this would be so colossally helpful. I'm sick and tired of trying to research specific clothing from any given culture and being met with either racist stereotypical costumes worn by yt people or ai generated garbage nonsense, and trying to be hyper specific with searches yields fuck all. Like I generally just cannot trust the legitimacy of most search results at this point. It's extremely frustrating. If there are good resources for this then they're buried deep under all the other bullshit, and idk where to start looking.
another addition as far as physical media goes there is the encyclopedia of national dress (that i still need to buy myself bc this kind of thing is super important to my sort of fantasy designing) but yes i do agree i wish there was EVEN MORE documentation on this
It is really important to me that all of you learn about Al Bean, astronaut on Apollo 12 and the fourth man to walk on the moon, who after 20 years in the US Navy and 18 years with NASA during which he spent 69 days in space and more than 10 hours doing EVAs on the moon , retired to become a painter.
He is my favorite astronaut for any number of reasons, but heâs also one of my favorite visual artists.
Like, look at this stuff????
Itâs all so expressive and textured and colorful! He literally painted his own experience on the moon! And that's just really fucking cool to me!
Just look at this! This is one of my absolute favorite emotions of all time. Is Anyone Out There? is like the ultimate reaction image. Any time I have an existential crisis, this is how I picture myself.
And then there's this one:
The Fantasy
For all of the six Apollo missions to land on the moon, there was no spare time. Every second of their time on the surface was budgeted to perfection: sleeping, eating, putting on the suits, entering and exiting the LEM, rock collection, setting up longterm experiments to transmit data back to Earth, everything. These timetables usually got screwed over by something, but for the most part the astronauts stuck to them.
The crew of Apollo 12 (Pete Conrad, Al Bean, and Dick Gordon) had other plans. Conrad and Bean had snuck a small camera with a timer into the LEM to take a couple pictures together on the moon throughout the mission. They had hidden the key for the timer in one of the rock collection bags, with the idea being to grab the key soon after landing, take some fun photos here and there, and then sneak the camera back to Earth to develop them. They had practiced where they would hide the key and how to get it out from under the collected rocks back on Earth dozens of times.
But when they got to the moon, the key was nowhere to be found. Al Bean spent precious time digging through the collection bags before he called it off. The camera had been pushing their luck anyways, he couldn't afford to spend anymore time not on the mission objectives. Conrad and Bean continued the mission as per the NASA plan while Dick Gordon orbited overhead.
Fast forward to the very end of the mission. Bean and Conrad are doing last checks of the LEM before they enter for the last time and depart from the moon. As Bean is stowing one of the collection bags, the camera key falls out. The unofficially planned photo time has come and gone, and he tosses the key over his shoulder to rest forever on the surface of the moon.
This painting, The Fantasy, is that moment. There have never been three people on the moon at the same time, there was never an unofficial photo shoot on the moon, this picture could never have happened.
"The most experienced astronaut was designated commander, in charge of all aspects of the mission, including flying the lunar module. Prudent thinking suggested that the next-most-experienced crew member be assigned to take care of the command module, since it was our only way back home. Pete had flown two Gemini flights, the second with Dick as his crewmate. This left the least experienced - me - to accompany the commander on the lunar surface.
"I was the rookie. I had not flown at all; yet I got the prize assignment. But not once during the three years of training which preceded our mission did Dick say that it wasn't fair and that he wished he could walk on the moon, too. I do not have his unwavering discipline or strength of character.
"We often fantasized about Dick's joining us on the moon but we never found a way. In my paintings, though, I can have it my way. Now, at last, our best friend has come the last sixty miles." - Al Bean, about The Fantasy.
While the CDC has given up on providing any guidance on risk control measures for covid, The People's CDC is filling the gap and continuing to track and update guidance as the situation evolves. Here's where you can download their Safer In-person Gatherings Toolkit:
Guidelines for keeping each other safer while gathering in-person during the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic. As the holidays quickly approach, co
Here's an extremely detailed guide on what to do if you have covid that includes how long to isolate for, how to set up your house with hepa filters and ventilation, what supplies to have on hand, when to go to the hospital, and guidelines on how to pace from the MEAction Network in the event you end up with long covid:
A guide for preparing for illness, preventing spread to others, managing symptoms, and recovery.
The work these guys are doing is amazing. They're still tracking wastewater data too so you can still figure out transmission levels in your area and not just the hospitalization levels. Check them out!
Another project connected to the People's CDC is Breathesafe. It looks like it's just getting started but it's goal is to document air quality in different buildings using CO2 monitors and then calculating covid risks related to that. This tool would allow people to check how effective the ventilation systems are in the places they need to go. Event planners could use it to help choose safer locations for their events. Local activists could use it to pressure specific businesses and public buildings to update their systems.
It'll be a really useful map as more data comes in, so please consider contributing data to this project.
If you are looking for an opportunity to do some direct action, consider getting a CO2 monitor to map the air quality of all your local venues, shops, and public spaces. Add that data to the People's CDC Breathesafe map project to keep people safer. You could even lend the monitor out to other people to map even more places.
I shall pass through this world but once, any good thing therefore I can do, or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now, let me not defer it or neglect it for I shall not pass this way again.
Two networked machines, one infected with a virus, slowly infects the other through the interface of classic romantic poetry.
A breakdown in the relationship was inevitable once the virus had seeped into the memory of one machine and then into the other through a singular network cable affecting the poetic text files. Communication between the two deteriorated, leading to irrational & at times odd behaviour. Each machine reacted with equal confusion and conflict. The interface text became an illegible poetic mutation of itself.
OP seems to have classified it as a special case of halfnium, reclassified as a lanthanide. This has fascinating implications for electron orbital geometry.
I thought so, I took one look at your classification and immediately thought âthis is definitely someone with a deep understanding of how the periodic table worksâ
Iâm glad that we have reached a consensus on the expected elemental properties of milk
That would involve writing a crash course in how suborbitals work on a post about whether water (the primary ingredient in milk) is in milk and even for tumblr thatâs going a bit far
MILK IS SEVERAL COMPOUNDS PLEASE YALL ARE KILLING ME OVER HERE
We have a container of dry milk because in addition to a little fat and sugars, it contains proteins, which settle into the pores of nitrocellulose membranes, making sure analytical proteins (specific antibodies) donât get trapped. We could just use casein (one of the proteins in milk), but milk is much cheaper and can also be found at Walmart.
Enter OCEAN EYES and NOT DEAD YET, two of the kingâs most quarrelsome stablehands.
OCEAN
May one explain what powdered milk doth be?
Is it not gas? I live in constant fear.
NOT DEAD
The water flees to air, the rest is left.
The dry debris then forms the powdered milk.
OCEAN
Thou sayest water doth reside in milk?
NOT DEAD
Pray tell what thou believâst the liquid is?
OCEAN
Is milk not one pure substance in itself?
NOT DEAD
No;Â âtis only milk-stuff mixed with water.
OCEAN
Yet milk appears from living cowsâ own tits!
NOT DEAD
âTis juice from tits, yet water still it holds.
If water be in juice, then âtis in milk.
Enter DERIN, the scarlet pescatarian.
DERIN
âTis drops of fat afloat in water,
As if âtwas dressing for thy greens.
With water gone, the powdered milk remains.
A NOTE attached to an arrow, written by BURNING BRAND, flies through the window.
BURNING BRANDâS NOTE
Obsessed with he who foolishly believâd
That milk is element of chemistry.
The NOTE crumbles to ash. BURNING BRAND is not seen again.
OCEAN
As he who instigated such a fight,
I felt that this creation was my duty.
OCEAN unrolls a scroll of parchment with a flourish.
OCEAN
Behold, âtis milk, one hundred and nineteen.
Enter JASON FUNDER BERKER, a frog.
JASON FUNDER BERKER
And yet the burning question still remains:
âTis metal, not, or somewhere in between?
JASON FUNDER BERKER does not wait to hear the answer, and exits.
DERIN
A lanthinide! A special case, I see.
How fascinating, geometrically.Â
But let us leave atomic musings be.
For milk is a rare metal of our Earth.
OCEAN
Of course it is, for I am always right.
My choices are, of course, deliberate.
DERIN
I do not doubt thou speakest truth, my lord
Thy brilliant mind is utterly unmatchâd.
It seems that an agreement has been reachâd.
OCEAN
Of course; however, in sincerity
I wish to know thy scholar-driven thoughts.
DERIN
I fear âtwould be beyond thy comprehension.
To teach to thee would take this much too far.
Exit OCEAN, in a huff. Enter JESIN, BOOP BOOP, FLIPOCRITE, VELVET, and LOVELY DREAMS, curious onlookers attracted to the scene.
JESIN
Do teach us, it would not take this too far!
DERIN
Ye all complain of learning strangely,
Then ask me baiting questions such as this!
BOOP BOOP
Thy gross ineptitude shall be my death!
Milk is formed of small component parts.
The fat, the sugars, proteins all combine
They seep through pores of membranes in this drink
Unpleasant compounds all are filterâd out.
All this obtained for small amounts of coin.
DERIN
No, milk is lanthanide, pray keep the pace.
FLIPOCRITE
The word thou meanâst is lactanide, I think.
DERIN
May sharpened pain-shaped stones fill up thy shoes
So that thou never knowâst a momentâs peace.
VELVET
A cube of milk, three inches on each side
Could blow up the entire galaxy.
DERIN
Our galaxy was formed in such a fashion.
âTis why we gave it name of âMilky Way.â
LOVELY DREAMS
Thus ends our entertainment for the night
Here fools and pompous scholars come to fight.
Exuent, pursued by a cow.

Pictured here are Sampson, Frances Louise, and Leah Beaver who actually were very close friends with the photographer and were regular subjects of her work. Itâs amazing what happens when you view us as people rather than museum objects - you capture us as people, as friends, as lovers, as parents rather than the stoic image of genocide and colonialism in-progress.Â
If youâre interested in learning more about female photographers and how they aided in representing native peoples through positive representation and ethical photography, I would suggest reading âTrading Gazes.â Mary T.S. Schaffer and other influential female photographers, and friends, of native peoples are given some much-needed recognition in this book while also discussing the white womanâs place in our genocide and colonization.Â
