i know i'm just rehashing something that people have been saying about movies and video games for decades but it's crazy how a ttrpg having sex moves is widely seen as bizarre and automatically gets it described as "niche" while a ttrpg having rules for how to kill other people is so normal that players and pundits will treat their absence as notable in and of itself

Hi everyone ! I've made a traditional clothing map

One year ago or so, someone asked me if I had a traditional clothing map. At the time I didn't really, but I decided it was in fact a good project for the next years.

So, this is it, my traditional clothing map as of right now :

https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1CbCLoUhuwkEvniOLLa24Y4fLqs7Ip4Y&usp=sharing

I'm sharing it here so you can have a look at my work so far. As you can see, it's not complete at all, far from it. For some region I took the time to do a lot of research, a lot others, I didn't got the time yet.

I'm sharing it for two purposes :

1) If you have any suggestions with high quality contemporary pictures for a specific geographical place, don't hesitate to send by DM's or under this post, I'll gladly add it in the map

2) If you see any corrections to be made, please tell me, as I struggle a lot with the different languages and differences between photoshoot places and where the clothings actually originate from, which is what interest me with making this map.

To be clear : This is not a finished product, far from it. And english is not my first language. I'm mostly posting this for correction, in case I've made mistake, for the rest I'll continue updating the map little by little, day by day :)

"white trans people are oppressors too" is just an obviously true statement I can't believe I have to say this.

Look I know this is a scientific publication but you don’t understand— we need to include milk and cookies in the photo. We have to. Otherwise the science suffers

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

[unthrifty--loveliness-deactivat]

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

if i were a respected british actor with any principles at all i would simply not agree to a project whose earnings will have material consequences for trans people but maybe i'm built differently

'Black Mirror' director turns down offer to work on 'Harry Potter' series: "Absolutely fucking not"

Black Mirror director Ally Pankiw rejected an opportunity to work on HBO's Harry Potter series because of J.K. Rowling's views on gender. 

"It simply is this easy to say no to funding transphobia"

Fun thing about football right now is that there's a move called the "brotherly shove" that the Eagles do when they're very close to scoring, where the whole team puts their hands on the ass of the guy with the ball and physically propels him over the line into the endzone for the touchdown, and all the other teams' fans hate it because it's got such a ridiculously high rate of success for the Eagles and doesn't really seem to work for any other team. People are straight-up calling for this move to be banned, claiming it's "unstoppable" and gives an "unfair advantage" but it really and truly is a skill issue. The whole league hates this move because it only makes the Eagles win more often and nobody else can figure out how to do it right

[raptorific]

Other teams are so afraid of it that they panic and do some wacky looney tunes shit to try and stop it. The refs had to come out on the field and tell the bad guys to stop doing this

because it's blatantly against the rules of football, and that if they tried it a fourth time in a row that they would just straight-up grant a free touchdown to the Eagles

[raptorific]

The rest of the NFL: this move doesn't work for us but it always works for the eagles... how do we stop them, we've tried everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu: ...not everything... Washington Commanders Linebacker Frankie Luvu:

I’ve been obsessed with this tiktok for days now

[coffeedcait]

Person: "Hello sir." he pets the frog with one finger.

Person: "Have a good day. Actually wait a minute. You missed a bug, but I got you home boy. Hold on." he picks a bug up and throws it next to the frog.

Frog: turns around and eats the bug.

Person: "OHHHHH-" sings high pitched and angelic like he witnessed a miracle.

[enba-and-luka]

I would also make this sound, because I've never seen a video of a frog being good at its job before

Your dialogue is stiff because everyone is being too honest

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

Subtext is where tension lives.

[dopedyk]

more so,

people don’t always speak in full sentences,

slang can change depending on age range, demographic, etc. &

don’t be scared of vocal pauses (uhm, uh, err)

Ppl in general should know more about the PANC movement and im not joking

The PANC movement is a latin-american based botanical movement (started out in Brazil) focused on researching and cataloguing non-conventional edible plants, and man. There are so many straight up ornamental plants that just. are edible. you can eat them. you can grab a daylily and eat it. You can grab a begonia and eat it. Hibiscus, lavender, dandelions. And those are just the flowers. So many little herbs out there that are fully edible (Shout out to lamb's ear, that one tastes really nice imo).

Like straight up there is free food out there. foraging is so cool but it's so hard to find actual sources not made by either some AI fucker that's gonna end up killing you or by some crunchy "eating grass will cure your cancer" influencer. PANC is made by actual scientists that specialized in botany that have fully researched and found out that These Plants Are Fully Safe to Eat.

And not only that, but they're legitimizing native knowledge. They're taking the plants that our native populations have been eating for centuries and are proving, in a lab, that yeah, these plants ARE safe to eat - which is incredible. It might sound stupid (like ooo NOW you're willing to believe the native people) but this is so, so important, because having ACTUAL SCIENTIFIC PROOF of their knowledge is a way to combat the still pervasive idea that natives are "stupid savages", or that their traditions are just "wacky spirituality nonsense".

Most sources are in portuguese, but you can still use a translator. Here's a link for a giant PDF with a shit ton of edible plants. This particular one has pictures of said plants, along which parts are edible and how (some you can eat straight up, others are edible after cooking, etc). Most of these plants are native to Brazil, but a lot of them are exotic plants that have been brought here as ornamental plants - and a lot of them have been shipped out to other countries as ornamental plants too, so you can still find some species near you.
