SHIT I SAY SOMETIMES

maybe if i imagine the character all my problems will be solved

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them

It's always "oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me" and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society

Truly I hate to do this to you all but; you can watch all the videos and read all the blogs in the world but you cannot learn to sew without at some point picking up a piece of fabric and fucking it up. No tutorial exists that will stop you at some point ruining this poor piece of cloth. The visceral act of holding a project and wondering where you went wrong is the only way to learn sewing; you cannot escape it. I’m sorry

The words echoed again and again in your brain. Those exact words they used that you couldn't unhear.

sometimes I am just amazed at how my ancestors managed to navigate the entire Pacific Ocean with these. knowledge that was nearly lost and is being re-learned.

AH! I'd heard of these, but this is the first time I've come across pictures.

Book rec: We, the Navigators: The Ancient Art of Landfinding in the Pacific, by David Lewis. Dense but readable and absolutely fascinating, it is a detailed account of traditional sailing and navigation techniques in a number of Pacific island communities. It's been years since I read it but what I remember most is the "star paths": nighttime navigation by keeping your boat at a particular angle to a particular star, BUT stars move overnight and with the seasons so each route might need you to switch between 15 various different stars at different times of night and you might need to learn whole new routes for other times of year.

Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn't read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There's been multiple "I'm DB Cooper" death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today's money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons

Not the town's name

That's the town name
