New regalia!

This is a set of maxtlatl and xicolli (loincloth and vest) which honor the divinities of death. In Mesoamerican tradition, death is seen as a transformation presided over by Mictantecuhtli and Mictecacihuatl, the rulers of Mictlan, who cleanse the spirits in the Underworld and allow them to return to the Earth in the form of a different being.

You can find this set in my Etsy store! Click here!

Not liking sex or being very sexual doesn't make you any less masculine.

I love desire paths. There's something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it's location, a desire path can mean so many different things.

In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we're oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.

Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.

Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.

Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can't design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!

Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way...especially if you're superstitious.

In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there's something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)

And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.

And for something really crazy...a desire path used for centuries will create a 'holloway'

All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.

my local library doesn't have a maximum book checkout limit and I am about to make them regret this

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

update: I checked out 36 books & put in hold requests for 26 more. the librarian who checked me out didn't even flinched, just said it's "nice to see more people reading." these people are fucking bonkers please quadruple local library budgets

[beesandwasps]

There is precisely one situation in which librarians hate you for checking out a lot of books. It’s when you wait until the library is closing and haul up a huge load of stuff to check out, so everybody has to wait to go home. Otherwise? Librarians love to see you check stuff out. Heck, grab a few things on your way to the checkout desk that you don’t even want, that’s great. Higher circulation justifies higher budgets.

The photographer Al Thompson captures the residue of gentrification and change in a once-vibrant and diverse suburban town. His sparse, black-and-white palette conveys a tenderness and affection for his subjects.

[AU of Airbending AU] I don’t really believe that Aang would be at all absent from their lives, if Zuko and Katara got together instead. On the contrary - I think he would’ve made the goofiest uncle, and the best sifu.
