Fun fact: in Europe, charcoal makers or colliers were considered somewhat of an odd job. While not rejected outright, despite the very specialized skill set and knowledge needed to do charcoal kilns, they seem not to be highly considered. Charcoal making needs constant attention and is often a solitary job next to sources of wood like forests, so colliers were considered solitary men, the German word Köhlerglaube ("collier’s faith") means a person with blind faith on something, because colliers often didn't have time to go to church to learn what they believed in, they just did.

This solitary lifestyle and connection to the forest, at least in Scandinavian folklore, seems to make colliers a favorite 'target' of forest spirits such as the Hulders or Huldras. Hulders are described as beautiful women (sometimes men, huldrekall) with a hidden non-human trait, like a hollow back or a fox or cow's tails. Colliers who left gifts for them and were kind were repaid by the Hulders tending to their kilns.

For your information, in Gaza we don't eat chicken, meat, vegetables, fruits, eggs, fish, milk, yogurt, cheese, and the list goes on... Most people don't have flour, sugar, ghee, oil, thyme, or even work... The list goes on and no one has gas or electricity, and the list goes on... And people are still living, and when I ask them how they are, they say "Thank God." Don't these people deserve support and respect? Don't we deserve to live?

Help me provide bread for my children, it costs $500. I trust your generosity and humanity.

Was looking for a book today when I saw these various animal books all on the same shelf and noticed their titles made a nice little impromptu poem about veterinary medicine

some good news!!!

the downside of this, however, is that this bill only really applies to things like puberty blockers, estrogen, progesterone, but not testosterone. because testosterone is a controlled substance, trans men(or people assigned male on hrt!!!!! never forget our intersex siblings) can’t benifit from this law. kinda just another example of the way making t a controlled substance fucks over minorities.

however, given the state of the world, watching gop lawmakers cross typical party lines in favor of gender variant people is definitely a ray of sunshine in a pretty shitty week

Idk like I think there's a really misogynist way that women are expected to consider being murdered and assaulted as like 1000x worse than anything else that could happen and do everything possible to avoid it and like it's unarguably bad! But constantly whenever I mention going hiking or whatever people are like 'omg you're going camping alone as a woman??? what if you get murdered?????' Actually by far the way I am most likely to die doing that is... some sleep deprived or drunk driver crashing into me on the way there! But no one tells you to avoid driving, meanwhile there's so much pressure on women to like, always stay in other crowded super safe areas or at home to Protect Their Virtue and it's like lol I would actually rather live an interesting life doing things that I enjoy
