I saw the tag “eat your foes” on a @suzirya post about garlic mustard and thought it made for a good slogan! Eat your foes, especially when your foes are tasty invasive species.
I haven’t actually tried making garlic mustard pesto bc I don’t know for sure whether the patches nearest me have been sprayed with anything (lots along the roads/culverts).
Art is up on Redbubble! I do not normally purchase my own wares but this one looks really good on the totes? They also added an apron option recently which is apropos:
Me: …The hell is it called the ‘drawing room’ for? Was drawing really such a wide-spread hobby, and if so, why do I never see any art equipment in the reconstructions of any of these rooms?
Historian, curator and documentary presenter Dr Lucy Wosley: Actually it was originally called the ‘withdrawing room’, as in the place one withdrew to, and where only family and important guests were allowed to enter. The name got shortened over time.
Me: Oooooohhhh
wait, so all those scenes where people are invited into the ‘drawing room’ are actually a declaration of intimacy and close friendship or otherwise close ties / importance?
Yes.
Writers, take notes.
Oh my god they were in the drawing room
Or an implication that the next part of the conversation is not for anyone’s ears, but I like cargopantsman’s better.
Just a reminder because apparently people don’t realize this, but the rainbow gay pride flag isn’t like…a gay male pride flag? it was literally meant as a pride flag for everyone in the community. not that there’s anything wrong with specific identities having their own flag, but i keep seeing ppl post flag sets as if the rainbow ride flag only represents gay men and saying that not including every single other flag known in existence means you’re excluding people when no it’s not the rainbow flag is for everyone
I think this is really important for people who are daunted by all the labels and still figuring themselves out. It’s okay. The rainbow flag is yours too
