when you press an animal's nose like a button, what do you say?*
beep
boop
doot
deet
bop
womp
something else (put it in the tags)
i (joylessly) never press animal noses like buttons
*this not referring to the name of the action. This is specifically what SOUND you make with your mouth when you are pretending the animal's nose is a button and you are pressing it with your finger.

It's a little surprising that the "Monday's child is fair of face" nursery rhyme never caught on as an arbitrary personality-assigner in the same way astrology did. It makes the same amount of sense.
Imagine people going around saying "yeah I could never date a Wednesday child, they're wired to be miserable and emotionally draining and as a Friday child I know I'd end up doing so much emotional labour for them"
For those who don't know (I didn't either):
Monday's child is fair of face, Tuesday's child is full of grace. Wednesday's child is full of woe, Thursday's child has far to go. Friday's child is loving and giving, Saturday's child works hard for a living. But the child that is born on Sabbath day, Is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
So now, I ask...
Which are you?
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
Sunday
Fun fact: this is why Wednesday Addams is named Wednesday. Being full of woe would be a good thing to Morticia and Gomez, so it makes sense to name their child after such a rhyme. Something that's kinda lost on us because the Addams family has been in the zeitgeist since the '30s (though another fun fact: they were unnamed until the first TV show in the '60s).

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
@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)
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.
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.
Boosting signal.
Echoes from the ancient human past, wonderful.
Their oral history also contains stories about hunting prehistoric megafauna too. Native Australians are the oldest existing culture on earth, which is even more amazing considering how hard the british tried to wipe it out.

I actually looked up the story of The Seven Sisters / Pleiades on Wikipedia, the other day, 'cause I woke up from a dream that mentioned how ancient that story was. And I wanted to check how much of that was invented in-dream, and how much I was remembering something I learned while I was awake.
According to that article, some astronomers think that story is not ten thousand years old; they believe it to be a Hundred Thousand years old.
why are so many canners so determined to get botulism 😭
"our great grandmas fed their entire families with their knowledge. they didn't need the government telling them how to do it."
great grandma also lost babies for want of vitamin k shots and antibiotics and would have had fewer babies to start with if she'd had the option to access birth control.
great grandma did the best with what she had and knew.
why can't we do the same 😭😭
edit after
@princessxombie an excellent point!
the reason for a preference of bottled lemon juice over fresh squeezed for canning (as reported through the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach): "It is a USDA recommendation that bottled lemon juice be used. And consistent with the recommendation, reputable canning sources will agree that the best source of lemon juice for canning is commercially bottled lemon juice, as opposed to the juice of a fresh lemon. The reason for the recommendation is that bottled lemon juice has been uniformly acidified or standardized per FDA regulations: “lemon juice prepared from concentrate must have a titratable acidity content of not less than 4.5 percent, by weight, calculated as anhydrous citrus acid.” With a guaranteed pH...there is a consistent and known acid level which is essential for the critical safety margin in canning low-acid foods and for making jams gel properly. "
as for resources:
the usda guide to canning (revised in 2015). you used to be able to find it on the usda website but for SOME reason (two guesses as to why 🙄) that website is now routing to a broken error 404 page not found. fortunately, it's available other places! here it is hosted on the internet archive! if you want it printed in color and spiral-bound, you can also purchase it for $25 from perdue university.
if you want more resources, the university of utah has a whole section of their preserve the harvest extension website dedicated to safe food storage practices including freeze drying, fermenting, drying, etc.
ball (the mason jar company) also has a section of their website dedicated to canning 101, including the basic process, recipes, a glossary of terms, and videos for their tutorials if you're a visual learner. they also offer free online recipes broken down in a way that's meant to be easy even for new canners.
go forth and enjoy canning without giving yourself and others botulism, friends.

THE HUNTING WIVES has a stupid title, but it's a rare modern show that dares to ask the really important questions, like, "What if you were trapped in fucking Texas, and MILFy bisexual Malin Åkerman wanted to get in your pants, but she was a right-wing megachurch-going gun nut who might frame you for Crimes?"

Veronica Ngô as Quỳnh in THE OLD GUARD 2 (2025)
In Vietnamese, while the speaker is talking/arguing with their partner and suddenly switches to pronouns pair: tao (first person, gender neutral) and mày (third person, gender neutral), this often signals as an unofficial breakup, or the relationship is now on thin ice at best.
TLDR: Category-7749-divorce-incoming pronouns
This nuance is so so cool, and I bet we have Veronica Ngô to thank for it; maybe the script said [curses Andy in Vietnamese] and they asked her to suggest something, but it would not surprise me if including this at all was her idea. She truly is the best thing about this film.
