Maybe I’m biased because I make my own clothes, but skirts are better than trousers because you can put bigger pockets in skirts. With trousers, you’re limited to the size of your leg but with skirts you can just fill it up and people will just assume you’re wearing a petticoat until they hear the crunch of the Dorito bags.
Just once I’d like the see an historical heroine be asked if it bothers her that she has to wear skirts and have say, “Not really. I couldn’t fit this in a waistcoat.” and just pull out a loaf of bread or something and start eating it right in front of the baffled male lead.
It would work great in the 1700s with those removable pockets, you could fit a couple of Italian loaves in there.
POCKETS ALL
guys i should legit make some of these for renn faire what food should i stuff in them pockets
I dare you to just yank out a whole turkey leg
a good idea but in practice i actually can’t consume a whole turkey leg to myself, which, i know, weak as FUCK.
Line it with foil for insulation to keep the leg warm and just snack on it all day. Stuff some bread in there for carbs, too. Maybe an apple or something in the other pocket, or some sort of cheese.
Not yet. I just know “not flakes”. It’ll probably be a couple months before I actually get a fish.
Some flake food brands honestly aren’t terrible. Small pellets can work.
Frozen foods are optimal. Not brine shrimp, the adult brine shrimp have almost no nutritional value. Mysis shrimp is great. Variation is also good. If I were picking the ideal diet for a betta, I’d suggest alternated frozen mysis and bloodworms, with a feeding of frozen/thawed/peeled pea once a week or so to prevent constipation. Live treats are good for health but not required. Mosquito larvae are the best treats ever if you’re a betta. Put a bucket of clean water outside with some dry leaves in it, wait for mosquito larvae, pour larvae into betta tank, watch betta go nuts chasing the food.
fun fact of the day: this started out as a traditional drawing that i drew in class and some marvel fanboy yelled at me for making marvel gay so i’ve immortalized it
Plants from 50 different countries….you know what that sounds like? A recipe for invasive species. It doesn’t look like they give a damn about containment, either, so if even one of those 40,000 plants has incompatible allelochemicals or an enemy release mechanism, Seattle’s native flora is screwed. This is not nature, it’s a Frankensteinian parody of it that could never exist on its own but has been artificially kept up to flaunt its owner’s wealth.
The perfect example of what the rich want nature to be like: contained and commodified at high prices for their own personal use and with all the necessary but inconvenient parts of an ecosystem excised, while the lower class labor in concrete jungles because their own environments have been destroyed and desperately fight over the chance to just see a bit of green again.
If you ever need an example of the exact opposite of solar punk, this is it. A sanitized version of nature for the elite, built off the backs of exploited people and ecological destruction.
How are people going to do office things without desks?
Does nobody have any private space where they can put things and have them not messed with?
How are they gonna keep it humid enough for the plants without it being miserable for people?
How are they gonna keep the plants both bug-free and healthy?
It’d be a lot easier to take a regular office building and just put terrariums and small container gardens everywhere, maybe have a few central garden areas, than to do this. Could be mostly native and/or edible plants with some exotics, with all the exotics kept in terrariums so they can’t get out.
It’s not just anti-solarpunk, it’s a bad idea. Take an office building, modify it slightly to add garden areas and potted plants, maybe a butterfly house or something in the main building if you wanna get real fancy, add a room or two with cats you can go and pet, that’s calming, then put all the rest of however much money that was into giving the /rest/ of your employees the ability to not work themselves into an early grave trying not to starve.
i loved this bit because it was obviously taika waititi making commentary on the conjunction of valkyries, amazons, and dora milaje in this year’s movies. 😀
i love this bit because the valkyrie preceeded thors birth by centuries and he gives a thumbs up after ‘about time’ like he absolutely knows he just said something dumb as hell but is stuck with it now
“said something dumb as hell but is stuck with it now“ = thor in a nutshell
Cooperation among different species of birds is common. Some birds build their nests near those of larger, more aggressive species to deter predators, and flocks of mixed species forage for food and defend territories together in alliances that can last for years. In most cases, though, these partnerships are not between specific individuals of the other species—any bird from the other species will do.
But in a new study published in the journal Behavioral Ecology, scientists from the University of Chicago and University of Nebraska show how two different species of Australian fairy-wrens not only recognize individual birds from other species, but also form long-term partnerships that help them forage and defend their shared space as a group.
“Finding that these two species associate was not surprising, as mixed species flocks of birds are observed all over the world,” said Allison Johnson, Ph.D., a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Nebraska who conducted the study as part of her dissertation research at UChicago. “But when we realized they were sharing territories with specific individuals and responding aggressively only to unknown individuals, we knew this was really unique. It completely changed our research and we knew we had to investigate it.”
~Be a Flamingo in a flock of Pigeons…and you’ll fit right in!~
I disliked the expression ‘be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons’ as a means to encourage people to be ‘unique’ and stand out. Personally I think it’s quite insulting to pigeons, and shows that the average person hasn’t had a proper look at a pigeon, or don’t know that fancy and exotic pigeon/dove breeds exist. Species like the Bleeding Heart, the Victoria Crown and Jambu Fruit dove are all gorgeous and flamboyant examples of the Columbidae species, and easy challengers to the flamingo.
So I wanted to do a quick little drawing just showing off some of these lovely birds…and a smug flamingo 😉
