Boss:

Bless this day ❤️❤️❤️
I swear this post is blessed or something because I said “I want a reason to go somewhere” while looking at this post and then pretty much just after, my mother asked me to go to the store to get some eggs since I used the last 2
Firefighter demonstrates how to put out a kitchen fire
Reblog to actually save a life
To explain. The latter works because you’re cutting off the supply of oxygen to the fire and suffocating it
as opposed to slapping oxygen inside the pan with the downward motion
Reblogging, because this is so important. When I was learning how to cook for myself in my tweens, I had at least a five years of fire safety seminars from school drilling this into my head, and I STILL had that instinctive put-the-fire-out-with-water reflex. Didn’t even think. I saw our oily burner catch fire after frying eggs, whipped around towards the sink for water, and my brain immediately screamed NO!!! NO WATER!
I mean that fire safety stuff straight up bitchslapped me out of REFLEXIVELY setting my house on fire. I found a pot lid and inched it over the burner before turning off the heat. Even if you think you know this stuff, panic is powerful shit. Make knowledge more powerful.

I don’t wanna like Kill The Joke but this brings up a really cool fact about swords in ~14th-16th century Germany! The only people who were allowed to own Real Swords were the royalty and nobility BUT! Everyone else was allowed to own knives. The definition of a knife, however, was based on not length but handle construction, and to some extent how it was sharpened. The handle had to be constructed Like So with 2 pieces of wood sandwiching the metal tang.
Only one edge was allowed to be sharpened, but oftentimes a small part (a couple inches) of the short edge (e.g. the edge that wasn’t sharp) would be sharpened, and weapon design often allowed for this
In this way, something that looked like This, a messer of just over a meter in length…
…would be legally considered a knife, and therefore allowable for non-nobility to possess. (you can also see the bit on the back of the tip that would be sharpened)
So @swordmutual, there’s a not definitive but certainly interesting historical perspective on your question
i think the reason a revolution hasnt happened yet is because nobody is brave enough to be a martyr. we all got too much stuff to live for.
but i imagine theres probably some Gen-Z kid out there who has it absolutely SHIT and they’ll be the one to figure it out for us millenials and, to a lesser extent, Gen-Y.
i wish i was smart or driven or brave enough to spearhead a revolution.
I know this is a relatively recent thing in language, (if you count the 14th century as recent), so I understand that sometimes it’s confusing but:
If a character uses only they/them pronouns throughout a story, please don’t go assigning them gendered pronouns when you talk about them.
Learn to use the singular they/them pronouns!!
(You can reblog this, no matter what pronouns you use. Thanks ^^)
I’m gonna keep reblogging this until every single one of my followers have read or reblogged it because it is so fucking important.
As a writer with a they/them and/or nonbinary character in every story, it happens on a weekly if not daily basis, even to my they/them characters who have absolutely no gendered expression of any kind.
Look what the dictionary.com posted recently guys!! =D
