Poll: i’m curious as to how others dry clothes. In europe its very common to air dry clothes outside. Yet in the usa i hear dryers are most used yet the weather seems like it would do a good job and be better for environment.

How do you dry your washing/laundry?

Outside on a line (when weather allows)

On a airer/clothes horse inside

In a tumble dryer

Multiple of above

See results

Hebrew School Student: how could a flood cover literally the entire world?

Me: …and that’s how indigenous Australian oral tradition preserved the memory of land which has been submerged since the end of the Last Glacial Maximum!

Mice straight up go on missions and no body talks about it

Every time we buy more it’s “mouse hands off the blueberries”

Today in archaeology - this weeks running joke is that Mouse cannot be trusted not to spill blueberries everywhere

using "what were YOU doing at the devils sacrament" to mean "yeah i made an embarrassing reference but you understood it which is also embarrassing" is very funny to me

I know most of tumblr is thinking about the USA right now. but fuck the nz government right now too. tomorrow, the treaty principles bill, the 'worst, most comprehensive breach of Te Tiriti in modern times' is being introduced to parliament early, because there were activations planned country wide and the cowards decided to pull it forwards. fuck this government. a friend of mine had to go home early, crying. I've been in shock all day since it came out.

check on your Māori friends, e hoa mā. see what they need. see how you can help. everyday, we see and experience racism. from people around us, up to our government. community care will save us.

So. No matter what happens, I'll still be here making daily good news posts. Once the final results are called I'll stop with the election psas completely and go back to doing what I'm here to do. No more PSAs and no bad news.

This fucking sucks. But no matter what, there are people doing good in the world. There are people making progress. There are people who care so much.

If you can't hold onto hope, I don't blame you. And I'll still be here to keep putting little pieces of it in front of you.

The US isn't the center of the world, however outsized and violent its power may be. There are other countries and there are people within this country who are doing good, important things. So, I'll get a lot more international for a while, I suppose.

One foot in front of the other.

Keep living. No matter what.

Survival During Turmoil

This semester I've been teaching an Ancient Civilizations class for college freshmen—that's how it's listen in the course catalog: Ancient Civilization. But that's not how I've personally been referring to the class.

I've been calling it Ancestral Civilizations and stressing at every turn that, while these civilizations no longer exist, they are not entirely gone. To call them dead or extinct or lost negates the fact that through every time of turmoil and collapse, people have lived.

People lived through the Bronze Age Collapse or the fall of the Mayan Empire or the dissolution of a Chinese dynasty. They got up in the morning and combed their hair and tended their crops and nurtured their children. They were uncertain then just as we are now, and nevertheless, they persisted. So will we.

The archaeological record is full of evidence of that day to day persistence, just like it will be full of ours. Everything you do is important—every moment of joy you snatch or quotidian defiance matters. Your life and your history matters.

Talk to your friends and loved ones. Make something. Come up with plans for the future. Keep living during tumultuous times. Persist.

White leftists who say shit like "colonialism is a European invention" remember that China exists challenge lol. China was a colonial powerhouse back when Europe was illiterate and literally living in its own sewage. In your rush to acknowledge the horrors that were eg. the opium wars, some of y'all have circled all the way back around to completely denying the accomplishments - both positive and incredibly negative - of one of the most influential empires in the world, explicitly because you can't wrap your brain around that empire being non-white. Ask anyone living in any part of SEA if Chinese colonialism only began after European meddling in the region, and they'll laugh in your face. It's possibly the stupidest noble savage nonsense I've seen in any part of the discourse.

So I started going through my followers like “ooh I can boop people even though most of my mutuals aren’t opted in yet”

And uh have realised there are more people than I can practically multitask booping and I’m deviated

If you boop me I promise some back though

Tis a tragic day. The boops have returned and no one has their boops turned on

[micewithknives]

So question

If you evil booped me did you get an evil one back?? Is that what the revenge button does?

I’m trying and failing to figure this out from my pub dinner spot on fieldwork

Tis a tragic day. The boops have returned and no one has their boops turned on
