For the curious, this chap is processing flax, then spinning it into cordage, then twisting those cords into rope.

when you’re at the end of your rope but must carry on regardless

vocabulary: with the log contraption he is “breaking” it. the further beating processing is “scutching” and when he runs it through the nailboard he is “hackling” the flax.

also, we have historical documentation of how trans people in the ancient world did their own version of HRT as well as guides for DIY HRT. mind you, these resources are mostly accessible via the internet, but they can be saved, transcribed, and printed out before anything happens and distributed via a network of queer communities. believe me, even if the bombs started flying tomorrow, we'd still have hrt.

"it would be so good if it was good" will haunt you but "it's extremely good, except for the one or two parts which are so bad it's genuinely kind of insulting" will straight up drive you insane

did you guys see the poem from a couple of days ago in poetry dot org’s daily poem it was so good and a treat to read

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

Special shoutout to all the queer, intersex, and trans het folks. Sorry for all the “it’s illegal to be straight this month” jokes you’ll have to endure. Y’all are still very much part of the community.
