Everyone’s always talking about pegging and I for one am glad you’re all taking an active interest in woodworking
one of the most fascinating youtube subcultures imo is the MRE taste testing community…like those folks who get their hands on military ready to eat meals and do unboxings and taste tests of them? because usually theyre perfectly normal and just interested in testing what militaries around the world eat right now. but some of these folks go the extra mile. they go so hard they threaten to destroy themselves with their own hubris. some of these people are flying towards the sun at alarming rates and are going to not only melt their wings but also their 100 year old preserved foods, causing them to plummet to their deaths, their corpses reduced to stewing in the seawater mixed with the remains of the WWII soviet pea soup they brought with them. im watching a dude eat meat from a 1902 british military ration right now. my dude is deadass out here calmly trying to become the last casualty of the fucking second boer war. as an archivist and general antiques lover ive put my hands on some horrifyingly old and dirty things but the idea of ingesting legitimate american civil war hardtack makes me want to get my stomach surgically removed and i am just so FASCINATED by these people who see these military antiques and think “nice, there’s lunch right there”
“the smell is just awful” SIR you are BOILING cow meat that predates the FIRST WORLD WAR you are boiling beef from a cow that existed at the same time as ELIZABETH CADY STANTON sir this can of beef was canned during the fucking DREYFUS AFFAIR what pray tell WHAT did you EXPECT from this TURN OF THE CENTURY CAN OF MEAT

Apparently, Attack on Titan stopped playing around and jumped STRAIGHT into the anti semitism pool and started drinking because the newest ~twist~ is that only Jewish people, who once ruled the world, can turn into Titans (who, I remind you, EAT PEOPLE).
HELLOO????? And apparently this happened back in 2017?????
Ladies, aren’t we glad we got better taste and abandoned that series back in 2015 after the Nazi symbolism was pointed out and the creator denied war crimes?
To clarify (to people who haven’t kept up with or read this overhyped pro-militia melodrama), the people within the kingdom in AoT are trapped on an island and essentially being punished for the crimes of their forefathers.
The Eldians were people who lived under the empire of Ymir Fritz, essentially the original Titan, which eventually was toppled by the people below it. After the overthrow, these people, who inherited the Titan-transformation gene from Ymir, were sectioned off to another land, punished if they left or did not abide by the strict rules they lived under, having to wear armbands to define themselves as “other”.
They’re (pretty unsubtly) coded as Jewish, characterized as inherently corrupt and can turn into people-eating monsters, forced to cannabalize each other for their ancestors rise in power and tyranny.
I never watch this after I found out it was literally based on nazi texts and beliefs. There is a video on YouTube about it here.
Check out this great listen on Audible.com. Four years ago, Quinn of Haldon was betrayed by his warlock master. He was given the power to summon thinking creations, but at the cost of being the evil Light King’s vassal. Now it’s only a matter of time before he loses the uneasy life he ...

Clean water, clean air, access to nutritious food, etc; access based on zip code. A well known case of environmental racism is the Flint water crisis. Less effort goes into neighborhoods for poc and tending to them
This is what makes me incredibly irked about white people that love to talk about pollution and being kind to the earth but in their discussions cease to mention how racial equality is even more important cause without you have the above. ☝️ Black people and other people of color will surely be restricted from better, cleaner resources just as they always have been, and if you only care to speak about pollution without the insight that these discussions tend to neglect, that the benefits are intentially kept from nonwhite people, you’re just advocating for more effectual racism.
People dont love wizards for the magic power. Its all about that fashion.

author: her power is that her nipples shoot boiling milk so she has to be topless always
fans: she isn’t sexualized, the author had to draw her like that because its her power. its out of his control.
i hope you all know i didnt make up the example i used
I would rather have not known that thanks
It’s the pink one. I read through the whole wiki page. I need a drink.
That isn’t what this is about. This was a slightly exaggerated description of a demon from Devilman. I will not allow you to imply that I’ve watched that Queen’s Blade shit.
HOW ARE THERE TWO THINGS THIS APPLIES TO
I think a lot about how Valve set up this huge narrative with crossover lore between their franchises, building up a huge finale to two decades old series
And then they just stopped making games
#valve has the follow through of a fanfic writer
A camera trap study in in South Gobi's Khorkh mountain range confirmed the presence of snow leopards along with lynx, ibex and argali.
Here’s some good news for your day: snow leopards have been sighted again in the Khorkh mountains in Mongolia for the first time in nearly 30 years! The area surveyed is a small, highly biodiverse sanctuary on the border of China. Snow leopard sightings used to be common, but since the 1990s, there hadn’t been any confirmed reports of their presence.
A new study by the Snow Leopard Trust, however, was the first time there’s been rangers and camera traps in Khorkh. According to the Snow Leopard trust, “we don’t have an unlimited number of cameras or trained field staff, so we have to select our study sites carefully. This is the first time we’ve been able to venture east into Small Gobi A Protected Area – thanks to the help of local rangers, whom we had trained in camera trapping techniques before the survey. The fact that we’ve been able to confirm the snow leopard’s presence here this quickly is encouraging.”
What’s even better is that the camera trap caught photos of multiple individuals, including a mother with young cubs.

V cool!
But why are they… so rotund? I glanced at the picture and thought it was like bad taxidermy or something at first >_>
A combination of body proportions, super floof, and a bad camera angle.
Snow leopards are not super svelte like other big cats. They’re stockier with kind of wide bodies, for the purpose of heat conservation. You can see in this photo that they don’t have the “definition” of warmer-climate cats like tigers.
Add to that the fact that they’ve got the longest and thickest fur of any big cat species, and that they need to put on extra weight to survive the winter… and you get a pretty chunky-looking felid. You can see in the photo below that they can look fairly close to spherical when they’re resting or curled up on themselves.
We’re all fairly used to seeing photos of snow leopards that are either taken in the warmer part of the year, or ones from zoos. Summer coats make cats look less fluffy, and in captive settings, snow leopards don’t need to put on extra weight to prepare for a lean season. But you can see even from photos of snow leopards in human care that they’re still super fluffy animals. Here’s some babies from the LA Zoo - even in a warm climate, they’re still puffy and could easily look rotund if caught at a bad angle.
I think the last part of it is that the camera trap startled them, and you’re getting that cat reaction of ‘arch back and puff up at the scary thing’. Honestly, I’m really happy to see those snow leopards looking so round, because it means they’re healthy and well fed. It just definitely looks a little odd!
I asked on a zoo group for photos of snow leopards known to be in good body condition showing off their floof. This is only a small selection of the incredible photos provided in response. All of these cats are at a perfectly healthy weight for their age and growth stage.
Above is Bataar from Cape May County Zoo on the left, and Raj from Binder Park Zoo on the right. Both at great weights but fairly spherical when at rest. (Photo Credits: J. Berg and Zookeeper Bryan.)
The lovely lady below this text is Misha, from the Sacramento Zoo. You can see how even just sitting, a reproductive-age female snow leopard can look quite round. Directly below her is a group of snow leopards from Assiniboine Park in Manitoba (who I unfortunately don’t have names for) showing how common that aesthetic is for the species. (Photo Credits: M. Owyang and F. Donnelly)
Snow leopard cubs are super fluff when they’re little. The very fresh baby on the right was born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in the UK, and was probably around two or theee months old when the photo was taken. The older cub on the right is Misha’s son, Coconut, when he was about nine months old. (Photo Credits: M. Rimmer and M. Owyang)
Even though snow leopards are super fluffy, it doesn’t mean their actual body under the coat is chunky. While they’re built a little more stocky than other big cats, they’re still very long when fully stretched out. Here’s Misha and Coconut again to demonstrate: on the left, Misha stands while Coconut sits on a rock; on the right, Misha is standing fully stretched out with her paws on a tree. (Photo Credits: M. Owyang)
And because no photoset of snow leopards would be complete without it, here’s some gratuitous tail from Princess at Tanganyika Wildlife Park. (Photo Credit: K. Randolph)
