a little known fact about me is that as well as swords and girls, i love flowers
and you know whats a Really Good Flower?
the gladiolus it literally means sword and theyre lilies which are lesbian flowers
theres a flower out there for everyone another big fave of mine are laurestina which mean ‘ill die if you dont pay attention to me’ like big mood or what right
They’re not lilies. They’re in the Iris family. They’re not even in the lily order!
their common name is “the sword lily” regardless as to their actual botanical nature
True. Sorry, I’m a botanist, so botanical nature is what I think about!
Actually that does still kinda work; Iris was literally the greek goddess of rainbows therefore: sword lesbian flower
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 know if this is common knowledge or not but anne frank’s diary was not some random document that sprang into existence by accident, she fully intended to publish it and she was actively revising it for publication at the time of her arrest, she desperately wanted to be an author when she grew up and she left behind a substantial amount of fiction (several short stories, a novel in progress) when she died. her diary was not a private stream of consciousness, like, she was writing to communicate with other people and to create a work of literature. there are unabridged editions available which are less polished and include passages that she and her father originally struck from the record, but the most widely available version, probably the one you read, was carefully edited and revised both by her and, after her death, her father.
You guys remember about 10 to 15 years ago when you’d buy a video game
and you got a *whole* finished video game that you could play whenever
and wherever you wanted?
