"PERFECT FOR THE BOHEMIAN INSPIRED LIVING ROOM, BEDROOM, OR DEN."
PIC INFO: Spotlight on a vintage Gabbeh rug, "Gabbeh Rug No. 1," by Forsyth Art, Saint Louis. Dimensions 60x82 inches.
OVERVIEW: "We collected this beautiful vintage gabbeh rug for its cozy, cool feel. Perfect for the bohemian inspired living room, bedroom, or den. A gabbeh rug is traditionally a sleeping rug. The pile is thick and cozy and hand-spun and woven of 100% sheep's wool. These rugs are popular among the populations of the Zagros Mountains of Iran, including Kurdish, Luri, and Qashqai people. The gabbeh is usually woven by women. The word “gabbeh” comes from the Persian گبه, meaning raw, natural, uncut."

Details of The Wonders of Creation
Iranian scholar Zakariya al-Qazwini ‎(1203–1283).
After traveling throughout Mesopotamia and Syria, he wrote his famous Arabic-language cosmography, 'Aja'eb ol-makhluqat wa qara'eb ol-mowjudat (The wonders of creation, or literally, Marvels of things created and miraculous aspects of things existing).

i know i’m sounding like a broken record here but like. it really frustrates me more and more that east asians, at least in my experience, are continuously centered even in ostensibly pan-asian circles. it’s Understandable to me, but like. idk.

Is there just one African wildcat species all domestic cats come from or are there multiple? I know most if not all domestic animals come from just one wild species
technically, the african wildcat is just one of five subspecies of a singular species of wildcat: felis sylvestris. the african subspecies is given the extra suffix lybica. and there is evidence to suggest that these wildcats were domesticated twice in two different times/locations! once in southwest asia approximately ten thousand years ago, and again in egypt much later at around 3500 years. it’s likely that both of these stocks originated from f. sylvestris lybica, as despite its name, this subspecies is found throughout africa, southwest asia, and south asia. so, even after generations of isolation, the two stocks were capable of interbreeding because they were still the same species/subspecies, and thus both of their genetic marks are left on the modern domestic cat population! but, while technically the two populations were of the same species and subspecies, their initial geographic isolation from one another did make them genetically unique from one another and the evidence of this genetic variation is still seen in modern cats! PBS eons has a really good video about the topic, from which i sourced the dates above:

New fantasy rule: you can’t have djinn or ghuls if you don’t have MENA/SWANA people in your world
Corollary to this rule: no, your orientalist swarthy turban wearing slave trader/dishonest merchant doesn’t count and now not only do you still not get to use those as creatures in your fantasy worldbuilding, I also get to confiscate your kneecaps.

I need your help, recipe-side tumblr!
My late grandfather, may he rest in peace, used to make a dish for me. I want to make it myself, but I don't have the recipe or the name of the dish. But I CAN describe it, so I'm hoping that someone out there recognizes it.
I believe the dish is made with ground beef, but it's possible it's also made with ground lamb. It may be a Southwest Asian dish in origin.
He always made it with the leftover sauce from when he made Chicken Cacciatore, so it has a tomato base, but the consistency wasn't a soup. I believe it had rice mixed in. It was flavorful - lots of spices - but it wasn't hot spicy.
Does anyone know what dish I'm describing?
