The one bizarre thing to me about textiles is that warp-weighted weaving is at least 6500 years old, but our oldest knitted artifacts are only ~1000 years old, and crochet 200 years old. Even though you need less equipment to knit (two sticks) or crochet (one hook) compared to warp-weighted weaving (frame, loom weights, batting, heddles). Why the big gaps between these inventions? And why did each one appear and spread when it did?

everybodys gotta get back into the practice of using pseudonyms online... i remember the time of screen names where u never ever told anyone ur real name and that was just understood as basic internet safety. plus having a screen name is fun because sometimes it sticks so well that it becomes part of ur identity that u can use in whatever facet of ur life you choose. it rocks to pick your own name

#pseudonyms are so important.... #i remember getting very upset when my neighbour used my screen name for some stupid online about horses #because that was MY name #i'd choosen it had crafted a pretty solid meta around it #so yeah. pseudonyms. cool stuff.

In my own little 'I can help *this* one' scream into the universe, I've been de-stringing the feet of the pigeons that live in the park across from my office.

Pigeons (rock doves) are feral, and they live in our cities. With our rubbish. They get string (human hair, fishing line, threads, etc) wrapped around their feet when they do their little circling dance, or from their nests, and they can't get it off themselves. So they limp along as best they can, for as long as they can. They're pretty tough little guys! If you start to look, you'll probably notice a lot of them are missing toes or have strictures holding their feet in painful positions. Some even have both feet bound together.

But the good news is - it's actually SUPER easy to help them!

This little guy had thread around one foot, and wire and nylon line around the other. I removed it on my lunch break on Monday, and now he's already walking easier and won't be losing any more toes.

The photo is from the next day, because he came back to hang out again without hesitation. They're very friendly.

People really hate pigeons, which is a bit unfair considering we are the ones who brought them in to our cities in the first place. If you want to make a world of difference to some lives that don't get a lot of love any more, check out the below for everything you need to know.

That Thief King Bakura has somehow acquired a reputation as a "whatevers in the laundry basket" type of guy when it comes to fashion is incredibly funny considering that canonically this man is putting his whole pussy into being as dramatic as possible. I don't know how to tell you this but absolutely nobody in Egypt would have worn a dark red trenchcoat for any reason in the middle of the day, most especially not while running, backflipping, and generally thieving around, for any reason other than sheer vanity that spits in the face of practicality and comfort. He really really wants to look cool and intimidating all the time hes not a boring-ass sweatpants and hoodie type of guy this man has the fashion sense of a 13 year old emo girl who just watched all of Fullmetal Alchemist and considers Edward Elric a true fashion icon.

this does not apply if you wear exclusively leggings. Those things tear all the time you need like a million on standby

One of my favourite WWI anecdotes was one British soldier recalling the start of the war when the first trenches had only just been dug—back when barbed wire wasn’t laid and steel helmets hadn’t even been issued yet—and said he and his comrades watched the Royal Engineers pull up unannounced with a reel of barbed wire and proceed to lay what looked to be a “clothesline” in front of the trench so tall a “giraffe could walk under it” and I could not stop laughing imagining the RE just standing back after proudly laying their Single Line of barbed wire to defend against the Entire German army like

#well I mean if I was a German soldier I would have been very confused #by one (1) line of barbed wire I can obviously cross #and maybe think there's some form of trap linked to this #so like #maybe there was some psychological effects??
