ok but i think the person in the screenshot is actually doing a genius bit

bc so often you see big posts about how "actually this character from an East Asian piece of media can't be trans because that country is conservative" and I think this is doing that in reverse to show how silly posts like that are

Why do my interests in canning, couponing, and homesteading overlap so often with blogs with titles like ‘The Obedient Housewife’?

It’s a shame how much nautical stuff is focused on the royal navy, especially the ships. Enough about the battleships. Here’s some beautiful boats from other cultures.

(Left) This is a traditional Somali ship known as a beden. Traditionally, the planks are sewn together with coconut fiber instead of hammered with nails. Did you know ancient Somalia had a maritime empire?

(Right) Galway hooker, from Galway Ireland. The original cloth sails were treated with a solution made from treebark to protect them from rot, which just so happened to turn the sails their iconic rusty red color, and modern synthetic sailcloth is dyed to imitate this.

(Left) Viking boats (amongst others) were built with the planks overlapping (clinker) instead of being flush (carvel) this provides flexibility for the boat to bend instead of break in rough seas but still maintains strength.

(Right) a Māori waka taua (decorated war canoe). This particular one is Ngā Toki, and it previously held the world record for longest canoe at 123 feet long and 6 1/2 wide).

Four more that I know less about:

(Left) Haida dugout canoe.

(Right) Vietnamese Ghe Nang.

(Left) An Unangax baidarka.

(Right) An Uros reed boat.

In part, it might be considered that consumerism in the occult distances the practice from the act of reciprocity as a sacred form. That is to say that by providing tools, and items that are marketable and meant to fill gaps, the spiritual landscape is changed and made into commodity. People find themselves detached from the spiritual force of nature that underlies the gathering, production, blessing and conscecration of those items, tools, herbs and the ritual itself. As a result, nature is made as this seemingly distant archetype that can only be accessed by those in areas where it is dominant, thus making those persons who live their superior, and, for us (the urbaners), something only accessible through the markets that sell herbs and tools to fill the identity that we impress and impose on ourselves (as to what defines a real practitioner)
