Lately I have been addicted to the historical fashion polls tumblr and go through it every day 🥹💓 I saw these dresses from late 1880s/esrly 1890s (sorry I don’t remember the exact year but I’m guessing based on the style😫) and thought they were so cute!! Tbh I do NOT really like Victorian fashion…I’m more of a regency/edwardian girl…but I did like these a lot💓💓💓

33-year-old Trevor W. Branham has been charged for the crash.

Branham's Chevrolet truck can be seen speeding and swerving before weaving out of the way to avoid a stalled car in the right lane.

He then struck a Sysco semi tractor-trailer driven by 26-year-old Sydney Thomas, sending her over the edge and hanging over the river.

Branham was charged with 4 counts of wanton endangerment and 1 count of operating on a suspended license.

He pleaded not guilty to the charges and is now in a wheelchair because of the crash. (source)

thinking again about corrie guards fundraising. today i am thinking about the most comprehensive production line of fairy cakes you’ve seen in your life.

“harris, what’s this item line for flour?” fox asked, walking into the quartermaster’s office, datapad held before him like a blaster. “there’s two hundred extra kilos of it. are you planning to use the stuff for munitions?”

harris didn’t look up from her own ‘pad. “you sighed off on it, right? sir?”

“yes. because you backdated the ‘request’ and the stuff is squatting in the delivery bay, inviting something called weevils, according to the supply officers. why do i now know what weevils are, harris? also why do you need a venator weight of…” fox made a show of consulting his datapad. “butter, sugar—“

harris looked up. “did you get the flimsi cases?”

“corporal harris. i did not put in the requisition form. you put in the requisition form. did you order flimsi cases? if so, may i be so forward as to ask kriffin’ why— the haran is this now?”

having booted open the office door like he was working a drugs bust, thire marched in, shoulder checking fox; fox tried not to take it personally, since thire was obscured behind a tower of boxes. he kicked thire in the shin nonetheless.

“what the kark— sir, is that you? didn’t know you baked,” thire said.

“i don’t—“

“he bakes?” harris asked, speaking past fox like he was a line item. “thorn didn’t say he baked.”

“what does thorn—“

“here,” thire said, again speaking over fox, as he thunked the boxes on the edge of harris’ desk. several styluses rolled to the floor to join their fallen comrades. neither thire nor harris reacted. “as ordered. you owe me three arm sessions. minimum.”

harris sighed gustily but nodded. “did you get the vanilla?”

“it’ll be here tonight. i talked to my smuggler contact in—“

fox remembered from command training that retreat was a valid option when overwhelmed by forces of utter horseshit. he made for the door.

two days later he ate his weight in fairy cakes and immediately signed off on harris’ waiting requisition orders.

Pouring one out for all the ordinary people in the yugiohverse who think the card game kind of sucks or have zero interest in it and are forced over the years to watch the entire world be reshaped and brought to its knees by WWE Magic the Gathering. They gotta be so beleaguered. They gotta be politely weaseling out of so many watch parties. There's gotta be a ygoverse equivalent of "sportsball (derogatory)" but for card games specifically.

Would you mind sharing your views on backpacking? 👀

Take all of this with a grain of salt because I'm mostly just bothered by backpacking content on Instagram.

I think the concept is fine. I'd actually like to do some backpacking some time.

But backpacking content, as well as most overland* content, always has a really weird vibe. It almost feels like cosplaying poverty if you know what I mean??

It's almost always young people from the so called "West" and almost always they're somewhere in South or Southeast Asia. The most popular backpacking destinations I'm seeing at the moment are Bali (exclusively that part of Indonesia for some reason), Thailand, Vietnam and Sri Lanka. The algorithm has recently also started showing me content from Pakistan, India and Afghanistan.

Since flights to these destinations are usually quite expensive, and many of these people stay abroad long enough that they might need a visa and that accommodation and food would also add up, it can be safely assumed these people have a certain amount of financial stability. Some of them are full time influencers too.

And while travelling with a backpack instead of a suitcase makes sense, and while you want to have an "authentic" experience, the vibe on those videos is often sooooo weird.

They're always like "I just spent 45h standing in a cramped bus without AC because it was only $1. I'm sleeping on the floor of this abandoned building that costs me $4 a night. I only carry 2 t-shirts with me, can't find a laundromat and I'm travelling for 3 months. Yesterday I got scammed and got food poisoning."

And I'm like why are you doing this? Is it really more "authentic" just because it's a foreign country? You can find the same uncomfortable situations and people who live like that all the time in your home country, but when you're abroad it's cool and authentic and #humbling #eatpraylove. Meanwhile there's also people in that same country you're backpacking through who, like, have a comparable standard of living you're used to. Your holiday doesn't have to be luxury resorts but it also doesn't have to be absolutely god awful.

And of course there's also the factor of adrenaline and stepping out of your comfort zone but with these videos it seems like they're almost glamorising having an awful time in an "exotic" country because that's what it's supposed to be like? I guess?

Idk I feel like I should get the opinion of someone living in one of those backpacking hotspots to make sure I'm not just getting annoyed at nothing but I think the vibe is off.

*overland content as in "travelling from XY to YZ without flying - Day 420" type videos. They're often interesting and I follow some of those people and I actually have some ideas for cool overland or long distance train trips but some of the accounts also have a weird vibe. Most of the ones I saw were men and they're like hitchhiking through some desert somewhere and I'm like oh this would feel so unsafe to me as someone perceived female. And obviously they also make lots of content where you know they have lots money because they've been travelling for several months but it has that same fake low budget backpacker vibe.

I hope this makes sense. I'm not sure it does.

Hm, I’m pretty sure the Fried Long Lads are inspired by these!

They’re called “youtiao,” a Chinese salty fried dough strip. They can be pretty oily — the name literally translates to “oil strip/stick.” You can eat them with congee (a Chinese rice porridge) by cutting or tearing it into pieces and putting it in the congee. You can also dip them in savoury soy milk! But I usually just eat them on their own — I should eat them with congee more often, though, since sometimes, I find them too oily and heavy on their own.

Anyway, I think I would have liked to visit Wen’s stall in Eridia’s Lowtown, especially if he also sells cong you bing (do you see the “you” again? Yep. The name translates to scallion oil cake. So, fried scallion pancakes!).

Before the crowds descend on Omicho Market in Kanazawa, Japan, we were able to capture this serene shot of the stalls. @visitjapan-blog
