found this obvious murder weapon way out in the desert so now i get to do one of those tiktok restoration videos but in jpeg yayyyy
got my cheapy vice sorta temporarily set up for this
ALT
since i burned the shit out of my hand while lighting the forge, im gonna start with this knife today since i shouldn’t hammer with my burned hand. got the handle off and most of the rust sanded off
ALT
its super funny to me that the handles have two holes, but the tang has three. im p sure that means either that this was handmade, or that its already been restored once. the middle hole is bigger tho so I’m thinking handmade by a beginner maybe? idk still totally sure it was involved in the commission of a crime cuz it was way out in the desert. we love to destroy evidence yay ^_^
found this 2x4 in the desert just now. if i can get a couple of clean slices it seems fitting to use desert found wood for the handle of the desert found cleaver
ALT
i got scales for the handle cut and drilled and test fit and it all looks good :)
ALT
next step is to epoxy and clamp the scales on there, but im gonna wait till after the wind dies down cuz its supposed to get bad today.
this way tho the epoxy will be drying overnight and in the morning rather than in the hottest part of the day where it might dry too fast and crack so that works out
bladesmith shibari
ALT
now we wait about 72 hours
ALT
not done yet but i gotta wait for the angle grinder battery to charge again so progress report. handle is grinding down nice. gonna have to slop some wood filler in where one of the pins cracked the wood a lil tho
i dont get offended at white people jokes even though im white because:
i can recognize white people as a whole have systemically oppressed POC in america, which is where i live
most people when they make white people jokes only mean the shitty white people and i am not a shitty white person
im not a pissbaby
my white friends that have reblogged this give me life
4. Sometimes I am a shitty white person and the jokes remind me to FUCKIN STOP
If ur white and like this post I fux with u
^absolutely
5. It’s hard to be offended when white people jokes involve bland food/tourist dads in socks and sandals/white girls in yoga pants obsessed with pumpkin spice/suburban PTA moms and other harmless and mostly true stereotypes while jokes about POC involve them being called thugs/criminals/slurs/uneducated/illegal immigrants.
i fucks with u heavy if ur white and you reblog this
Not sure if you've heard about the recent arrest of Luca Strobel, a trans man, for using women's washroom (after asking permission, because the men's had only urinals). I feel like it's a perfect example of malgendering and transandrophobia. He's arrested for being a man in a woman's washroom, and at the same time, the arresting officer calls him a "little girl."
After a lengthy drive to the bar, Strobel said he stepped inside to use the men’s room. However, there were no stalls—only urinals, rendering it inaccessible to him as a trans man.
At first, an employee warned both Strobel and his friend against entering the bathroom of the “opposite” sex, but after a brief back-and-forth, Strobel said he believed he had permission to do so. He also said he and Frady were the only two people in the restroom, which Frady confirmed to Erin in the Morning.
That’s when a man who said he was the bar owner burst into the women’s room, peering over the stall to look at Strobel as he used the restroom.
“They’re looking over the top of the stall at me without my clothes on,” Strobel said in the video. “They can fully see me naked other than me having my shirt on, and they just start screaming that there’s ‘a man’ in here.”
He said the owner and employee ejected him and his friend from the bar—grabbing and pushing them out as they reportedly called Strobel anti-trans slurs. The police were waiting at the door, Strobel said.
The officer cuffed him “so tight that I can’t even feel my fingers,” Strobel said. “I still have a bruise on my knuckle.” Meanwhile, his arresting officer allegedly kept calling him a “little girl.”
“We didn’t get booked, but we did get cuffed, and when we got to the station, we were asking a bunch of questions that they refused to answer,” Strobel said. “They just kept saying, ‘Take it up in court, take it up in court, take it up in court.’” […]
Strobel says he believes the bar staff knew he was trans because his shirt revealed his top surgery scars. Nonetheless, he said he refuses to “go stealth,” or hide his trans identity, because he believes that trans visibility in the South is important.
Yeah this is literally a perfect example. There was no “misdirected” violence here, they knew he was a trans man and still thought his presence in the women’s bathroom was a male violation, WHILE ALSO infantilizing and feminizing him.
THIS is what can happen when trans men use the women’s bathroom in a transphobic place. The presence of a trans guy in the women’s bathroom is not, in fact, so shocking and incapable of being conceive that transphobes’ brains simply shut down and can’t do anything—they just direct their transphobia… at the trans man! Shocking! Who could’ve forseen such an outcome!
as a side note: as this shows, transmascs being seen as “little girls” does not always mean being seen as “innocent” or “uwu” little girls. “Little girls” in this country are frequently treated with incredible disrespect and violence (especially when they aren’t white). people need to get it in their brains that being infantilized & feminized is not always a passive experience of being seen as “too soft.” you can be treated like a little girl while you are getting violently arrested by cops who hate you.
Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet
She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real
read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.
our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.
trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.
And Cain says, “When you split me and my brother in the womb, you did not divide us evenly. He got kindness, and I got longing. He got complacence, and I got ambition. I want to kill him sometimes. I think sometimes he wants to die.”

Hear me out, oblivious merman with a reader who can’t swim. He’s been eyeing you for a long time now, so when the chance arises, he nonchalantly steals you away from the other humans.
He’s convinced everyone just floats naturally. Has no idea why you’re trashing around and screaming for help - he’s courting you! He’d never harm you, so why are you so afraid of…Oh…you’re sinking. Is this some sort of teasing? Are you playing hard to get?
(He does eventually retrieve you once you go limp under the water, utterly mortified that he almost drowned his beloved)
Alright, don’t worry, he will teach you how to swim….once he figures out your strange limbs. Perhaps he should’ve studied the humans before kidnapping you from your peers.
This is WILDLY incorrect, sheep are my special interest and I’ve been raising them for over a decade so excuse me while I get up on this soapbox: ewes do not have a standing heat. Cows reportedly do, but not sheep.
a) ewes who are in heat and feeling flirty solicit sex by walking other to someone they’re attracted to, then turning their backs, peeing, wagging their tails, and making extremely flirty bedroom eyes over their shoulders at their crush. Also try to murder anyone they feel might be a rival for suitors. Also also try to murder her crush if it turns out they’re not keen on her. Ewes in heat but not feeling flirty (yes this happens) walk around all business as usual and you only know they’re in heat bc of the crowd of hopeful suitors following her around and fighting each other. Either way it’s not subtle.
b) ewes DO mount each other, with great frequency and enthusiasm. If this is mentioned at all, it gets written into the literature not as a sexual act but as something ewes do to visually signal to rams that they are in heat. (If a ram is within a mile and not dead I promise he doesn’t need any such signal) A ‘lesbian’ ewe will follow a ewe in heat and try to run all the other suitors off to keep breeding rights to herself just like a ram would, whether she herself is in heat or not.
c) it’s really really easy to tell what a ewe is attracted to by who she mounts/lets mount her and who she head-butts away from her with murderous intent. Most ewes are more or less indifferent to gender. Out of two dozen I currently have one(1) exclusively straight ewe, and two(2) exclusively lesbian ewes, everyone else is in between.
As far as I can tell the real reason there’s no “concrete facts” (sarcasm) about lesbianism in sheep is first off, in a commercial flock ewes that don’t get pregnant every year, preferably on the first heat of fall, get culled. No one bothers to determine if she’s infertile or just doesn’t like rams, so lesbian ewes determined enough to actually stop rams from breeding them don’t last long, and secondly that most people researching homosexuality in livestock I’ve experienced are either stuck in a Victorian “two feemales can’t have sex cause there’s no peenus for penetration hur dur” mindset or in an equally outdated male-actively-chooses/female-passively-chosen mindset and it just doesn’t occur to them that ewes might have preferences.
Switzerland is the European country I have the most personal experience with because I lived there for a few weeks and I have family there.
If you want to know about the visual vibes of Switzerland, it’s cows.
If you want to know about the cultural vibes, let me give you a history fact. In 2022 all of Switzerland finally recognized gay marriage. In 2023 they officially banned full face coverings like niqabs, burqas, and face coverings at protests.
That’s Switzerland.
Also my cousins started going to school in Germany instead because all the Swiss schools they went to had severe bullying problems. Not sure if that’s an actual cultural problem though or if they just got severely unlucky.
I like Switzerland. Cool place. My family has suggested I move there.
No. No thank you. Nice trains but no thank you not for me not today
Slightly off topic but when I was in Switzerland so many people told me that Swiss-German doesn’t have a written version of the language but I also had pamphlets directly handed to me that were written in Swiss-German and saw labels and posters written in it so what the fuck was that about
The only thing I ever learned how to say in Swiss-German was grüezi which I was instructed to say to people I didn’t know when I passed them on walking trails.
Yes it’s true. My family over there lives in Zurich canton and they drive into Germany to do most of their big grocery trips. They even ask for the sales tax back which I’ve personally never understood like. Morally. You use the roads and public services in Germany all the time so why wouldn’t you pay sales tax??? Whatever.
Also in Switzerland you’re required to provide public toilets at your restaurant if you have indoor seating so obviously if you eat indoors you’ll be standing. Dunkin’ Donuts also came to Switzerland before they came to the west coast of the US. Born and raised American and I had Dunkin for the first time in Zurich.
obviously this is not the largest problem with the world’s most influential dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. but it really is amazing how little political will the US government has for broadly popular measures that would literally cost less money to implement than doing the same thing
I was reading the Wikipedia article for “abolition of the United States penny” and the arguments against section was like “it costs too much money, nobody uses it, if you consider opportunity cost you are effectively Losing Money if you do use it,” etc etc
and then the arguments for section was “a poll in 2006 showed a slim majority of citizens think the penny is useful” and “the zinc lobby said we should keep it around, but replace zinc with a cheaper metal.” the ZINC LOBBY says we should STOP MAKING PENNIES OUT OF COPPER AND ZINC. what are we DOING
this happened to a 19 year old US citizen studying in Bulgaria. do yourself a favor and do not leave the country right now under any circumstances. and another reminder: do not under any circumstances give your electronic devices up to anyone who asks or allow your things to be searched without a signed warrant from a judge. you have a right to refuse any search and seizure that is unwarranted. you still have rights. do not comply in advance. they will use it to prosecute you for whatever they can.
look I know it’s supposed to be a joke but that “irradiated wasteland” is the unceded homeland of the Paiute and Shoshone peoples and consists of fragile Mojave and Great Basin desert ecosystems that are actively being exploited and destroyed by mining interests who utilize the perception of desert as wasteland to justify their destruction of indigenous lands and communities. the joke’s not funny. fuck off with this.
also, as to the “irridiated” part of this - here’s an article by High Country News on cancer clusters in indigenous communities in the Southwest resulting from nuclear tests at the Nevada Test Site (itself located on the ancestral homeland of the Western Shoshone and Southern Paiute) and the US government’s continuing failure to compensate affected families. it’s a horrific crime that the US government committed against its own citizens and the joke’s not fucking funny.
wasn’t expecting this to take off but shoutout to the Australians in the notes - getting fed up with this kind of shitty rhetoric about desert landscapes and erasure of the indigenous peoples that have lived in them for millennia is Australian-Southwestern US solidarity
Fucking hate what the internet does when it gets hold of a new funney meme sex word and mutates it to the point that it always ends up being used to equate any degree of horniness with Scary Dangerous Pornbrained Sexual Deviancy™.
Like how “gooning” started as a word for a niche extreme masturbation fetish involving edging for a ridiculous number of hours at a time while blasting several forms of pornographic material at the same time (usually on a special dedicated porn-watching setup involving multiple screens and/or devices), before it got memed into being treated as a synonym for “masturbating” and now anyone who likes jerking off or expresses any degree of horniness is a “gooner” and you got people calling any art with any degree of sexual themes or subtext “gooner bait”.
girls love the overgrown megastructure. girls want to live in the overgrown megastructure. girls want to build communities and societies in the overgrown megastructure
