I just want to remind everyone how affordable buying food from indigenous tribes is. I live in a major city and I was able to purchase and ship (15) pounds of fish from back home to myself for cheaper than I could buy it from a grocery store here in the city. Yeah, shipping has its own environmental factors but I was able to support an indigenous owned business while also getting my groceries at a lesser cost. (Buying in bulk is always a good idea if you’re planning on having something shipped to you)
Some tribal owned grocers that ship:
Bow and Arrow (Ute Mountain)
Native Harvest (White Earth)
Red Lake Fishery (Red Lake)
Wozupi (Mdewakanton Dakota)
Ramona Farms (Gila River)
Tanka Bars (Oglala)
Indian Pueblo Store (Pueblos)
Twisted Cedar Wine (Cedar Paiutes)
Ute Bison (Ute)
Seka Hills Olive Oil and Vinegars (Yocha Dehe Wintun)
She Nah Nam Seafood (Nisqually)
Sakari Botanicals (Inupiaq)
Honor the Earth (? Anishinaabe)
Nett Lake Wild Rice (Boise Forte Anishinaabe)
Passamaquoddy maple (Passamaquoddy)
BONUS: coffee :)
Yeego Coffee (Navajo)
Spirit Mountain Roasting (Yuma Quechan)
Birchbark Coffee (Anishinaabe)
Thunder Island Coffee (Shinnecock)
why do the seals pulls their heads into their body’s?? is it for warmth?? is it just to be cute ??? also. what do their neck bones look like? do they have bones ?!!?! do the bones stretch ?!?!
the ever-adorable Seal Neck Scrunch is a pretty unique feature to seals, but they don't actually need any special equipment to pull it off!
see, like all mammals, seals have the traditional seven neck vertebrae, but their necks ARE surprisingly long!
but we don't notice this in practice, because the natural resting position of a seal neck is in sort of an "s" shape:
this makes the seal neck look shorter than it really is, but their RIDICULOUSLY thick layer of blubber smooths their neck into a streamlined shape no matter what position the neck bones are in!
so when a seal has it's neck "in" and has entered Blob Mode, basically their actual neck is all coiled up in there like a heron's:
and when the neck is "out", the seal has just extended it to its actual length:
you can actually see this happening in motion if you know what to look for! THERE'S BONES MOVING IN THERE.
i do also quite like tangent
I'm firmly convinced that there are certain archaeological artifacts we'll never fully understand because what sparked their creation was some prehistoric craftsperson thinking to themselves "hey, you know what would be fucked up?"
The fall of the Stratos…
“ You fought for this lot. “
no matter what they do, it always fails. no matter how many times or cycles, they can never save them. can never save him.
kom can’t be saved.
why do you keep trying?
