I feel I have to warn you about the fact that Tumblr app is gonna turn some words into emojis, wether you want it to or not.
Because there is no topic that can’t be better communicated with emojis.
Just when you think this app can’t get any worse….
(I became am alpha tester so I could tell them when the app is not working again and therefore I got this ‘feature’ early…)
what the fuck even is this site
This makes no sense whatsoever, what is wrong with the people running this site?
hey so ACTUALLY!!! I know how to fix this. When I was trying to turn off their stupid ass chronological thing (on desktop) I noticed they have these things called labs. Under labs they have a thing called emojify which is the cause of it randomly changing words. If you notice that suddenly the feature turns on all you need to do if you’re currently on desktop is go to Account>Settings>Labs, and then turn off “Emojify”
Yeah, it’s in labs so you can. Stop it. Instead of playing yourself. They literally say it the labs info that most of this is just shits and giggles garbage. Which sucks bc a few are useful items.
Alt-right blogger Jenna Abrams (@Jenn_Abrams) enjoyed a large following in Twitter, and her tweets were cited by Buzzfeed, the NY Times, and other news agencies. It turned out “she” was another creation of the Internet Research Agency, the Russian government-funded troll farm in St. Petersburg.
why have we stopped wearing cloaks and capes. this is ridiculous. the human race is a failure
So this one I can explain!

Simply put, cloaks and capes are, all in all, a massive pain to wear in cold weather. Shocking, I know, but if you think about it, you have this massive amount of heavy fabric that you wrap around you like a blanket. The minute you need to use your hands and arms to, say, pick up something, you have to expose yourself to the cold by opening up your cape/cloak; even capes/cloaks with hand slits only solve the problem with very small items. Coats, by contrast, keep your body and arms warm and allow you to move as you please without having to expose most of yourself to cold. They are also far more fabric-efficient, being substantially less expensive to produce, and they’re a lot easier to put comfortable integral pockets into.
(Side note: for as much of a big deal as we put on women’s clothes having/not having good pockets, I am mystified at why people don’t take this into consideration for outerwear.)
The only case in which a cape or cloak has an advantage over a coat is in rain, and that only includes 100% fulled wool capes/cloaks due to how 100% fulled wool reacts when wet; most moisture rolls right off, but wool can be saturated in its weight in water, even cold water, and still keep you warm. Capes and cloaks made of silk, blends, etc. have zero functional redeeming factors whatsoever, and are only suited to making you look pretty in indoor settings.
In the second half of the first millennium B.C., a favorite vessel form on the southern coast of Peru was the double-spout-and-bridge bottle. Often the spout is modeled as a stylized bird head, as here, which functions as a whistle, producing a gentle sound when the liquid inside the bottle is poured out. These bottles are named for the dry Paracas Peninsula and have been found in the valleys to the north and south of it, particularly in the southern Ica Valley. Fired to dark brown tones in a reducing atmosphere, many are decorated with incised feline-based imagery, probably derived from the northern Chavín style. The impressive frontal face of a snarling feline decorates the side of the vessel chamber directly under the whistle spout. The creature’s features are geometricized into a series of parallel bands filled in with red and white resin paint. Applied after firing, most of the paint is now missing. Elegantly curved brows over half-closed eyes are framed by straight lines that enclose the face. Small ears extend upward and a wide mouth band displays pointed upper and lower canines. A small modeled pug nose appears between the eyes.
