KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

what annoys me about explaining evolution to people who don’t think it’s real is that everyone’s idea of how it works seems to be from this

Whereas the reality is far more like

rarely do i repost things and especially from shittr but this video is shutting down core partsof my mental processing i think

having being anti death penalty as one of my core beliefs is fun because it really makes me realize how even progressive people want soooooo badly for there to be a category of people they can kill. I'm sorry but "group of people okay to kill" does not exist.

For some reason, it never occurred to me that Project Gutenberg would have public domain old cookbooks. This is BRILLIANT. There’s a 1953 cranberry recipe pamphlet and a suffrage cookbook from 1915 and a translation of Apicus’s guide to food in Imperial Rome and a whole bunch of other fascinating old cookbooks, many pre-1800. Treasure trove!

[optimysticals]

I love you for sharing this!!!

[ferrific]

For more old cookbooks, Michigan State University has 76 of their historical cookbooks scanned and searchable at Feeding America: The Historic American Cookbook Project.

[hsavinien]

For even older recipes, check out Gode Cookery.  They list medieval and Renaissance cooking instructions and translate the recipes for you into measurable amounts and all.

[runecestershire]

I have have have to mention Miss Leslie. I learned so much about cooking from that book, even if a lot of it is outdated.

Also, Forme of Cury is great fun, if you can muddle through the Middle English (Gode Cookery has translations and adaptions of some of the recipes from this).

[sarkos]

I’ll always take an opportunity to remind people of Barkham Burroughs’ Encyclopaedia of Astounding Facts and Useful Information, which also contains recipes

Feast Afrique had pulled from a range of digital repositories to create a library of historic books on the food and cultural history of West Africa and the African Diaspora. This includes lots of historic and specialized cookbooks.

hi it's five thirty am and I just woke up out of a deep sleep extremely mad about naruto and sakura again

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

the character development the relationship development the mutual respect they inspired each other to become their best selves they supported each other through everything even when he was peak annoying sakura would give anything to help him reach his goals and even when she was peak bitch naruto was never truly mad at her even if he couldn't understand where she was coming from they were best friends she had keys to his apartment and went over there regularly just to check in on him they had complimentary personalities and they were almost always in tune emotionally they always knew what would upset the other one and how to cheer each other up the PARALLELS with minato and kushina the dynamic kushina saying 'I hope you find someone like me' and minato saying 'she reminds me of kushina' minato asking if they were dating and naruto saying 'not technically' and sakura getting offended the fact that when he thought she was lying about loving him she wasn't lying she really did love him but she was trying to manipulate him to save his life but that made him refuse to believe her actual feelings and that's the only true miscommunication we've ever seen them have SHE HELD HIS HEART IN HER HAND AND MANUALLY PUMPED IT FOR HIM the fucking PARALLELS with tsunade not being able to save her fiancee's life on the battle field and naruto wearing his necklace and her apprentice sakura managing to go above and beyond to save his life in spite of the fact the nine tails had been ripped out of him GOD THE FACT THAT SHE WAS NEVER SCARED OF THE NINE TAILS even after it injured her while others were always worrying about their safety if naruto lost control but sakura was always concerned about naruto's safety above all else the fact that sakura never actually said no whenever he asked her on a date they just had different definitions of what a date was he based so much of his worth on keeping a promise to her because he loved her and wanted her to be happy and if you let down the person you love what does that make you HEAVEN AND EARTH he was gone for years and when he came back they were immediately able to fight alongside each other perfectly in tune because they know each other so well and are a natural team SHE HELD HIS HEART IN HER HAND I WILL NEVER DROP THAT

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

THE WAY THEY WERE CLEARLY MEANT TO PARALLEL TSUNADE AND JIRAIYA, who’s entire STORY boiled down to missed opportunities, time never being on their side, and Naruto and Sakura both SURPASSED their mentors in everything else, so it would make NARRATIVE SENSE FOR THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO BLOSSOM WHERE THEIR MENTORS WAS NEVER ABLE TO-

reblog to thank ur mutuals for providing enrichment to ur enclosure

[penandinkprincess]

laughing about the idea of rose giving shane a weighted blanket as a gift and it soon becoming ilya's Number One Enemy in their house

at first it was just because it was a gift from rose, but now??? shane is cuddling up under The Mistress? ("ilya, it is a fucking blanket-") shane does not need to ask ilya to lay on top of him because he would rather be beneath The Mistress? ("ilya, for FUCK'S sake, you weren't even home-") maybe shane doesn't even need him anymore. maybe The Mistress can learn to suck his co- ("i'm going to bed. you can join me or you can keep glaring at a FUCKING BLANKET")

[penandinkprincess]

i feel like rose probably went for the heaviest option available, so like a 40 pounder, so it does have some good heft to it

and i'm cackling about this arrangement being referred to as a threesome as a joke, which is all well and good until someone is reading over ilya's shoulder one day and sees shane send the message, "today has fucking sucked. can we have a threesome when you get home, please?" and is just ???? hello???? what?? the fuck??? are y'all just out here casually having threesomes on a tuesday??? that hollander asks for wiTH A PLEASE??? WHO IS INVOLVED ONTHIS THREESOME FOR IT TO BE HAPPENING ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE????

[penandinkprincess]

not helping this is that ilya responds with, "yes of course ♥️. do you think your mistress can take care of you in the meantime? just this once she can have you to herself."

and what he's doing is just teasing shane to lighten the mood, but person at the coffee shop behind him in line is just

[penandinkprincess]

this escalates to the point that shane really has no other option than to post some kind of statement about it being an inside joke, and ilya of course has to be a little shit about it and post a response on twitter or whatever about, "oh, you will not tell them you are snuggling with your mistress right now, hollander? you will break my heart but not admit it to the world?" and so shane posts another picture that's just a pov from his place on the couch with the weighted blanket over his legs and ilya on the other end grinning SO WIDE because he's SO pleased with himself. and the caption is something like "pictured: my "mistress" and my soon-to-be-ex-husband." and ilya thinks it's SO fucking funny because yes! vindication! let the world pity him (even if playfully).

and this then backfires on him SO FAST.

now weighted blanket brands are sending shane pr trying to get him to mention them/show them off in a picture, and ilya is now fucking SURROUNDED by mistresses all competing for his husband's attention. BULLSHIT. HOW HAS THIS HAPPENED.

weighted blanket eleven comes in the mail and ilya goes live on instagram just FURIOUS. the frame is him in front of a PILE of weighted blankets and he is just

"enough! enough of this! are too many in our house. is like being fucking-shane, what is word? people in utah, they have many wives?"

shane in the background, not fully paying attention: "mormons?"

"those! we are not mormons! household is FULL. marriage is FULL. stop this! every single day i look and there are more enemies in this house."

"every single day i look and there are more enemies in this house" goes viral as a sound for people surrounded by clutter/pets/etc.

shane receives five more weighted blankets.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.
