every time i see trad gender roles people being weird about fibercraft i wanna tell them
-medieval and early modern knitting guilds were full of men learning and perfecting fancy knitting techniques to impress rich clients
-in cold, wet climates like the scottish highlands knitting was done by the whole family, in fact it was the perfect activity to do while a man was out on a fishing boat or in the pasture with his sheep and cattle
-men who were away from women for a long time had to know how to knit and sew at least well enough to mend their own clothes. soldiers knitted. sailors knitted. cowboys and frontiersmen knitted. vikings probably knitted (actually they would have been doing a kind of proto knitting called nalbinding, but that's beside the point). all those guys the far right love to treat as ultra masculine heroes were sitting around their barracks and campfires at night darning their socks and knitting themselves little hats

Wow
Stygiomedusa gigantea, commonly known as the giant phantom jelly is a part of the monotypic genus of deep sea jellyfish, Stygiomedusa. This is in the Ulmaridae family. It can't actually sting you as its—30-foot-long—”mouth arms” are just there to trap prey rather than sting them.
This ghostly giant is a rare sight.
MBARI's ROVs have logged thousands of dives, yet we have only seen this spectacular species nine times. The first specimen of the giant phantom jelly was collected in 1899, but it was not until 60 years later that scientists recognized this as a new species.
Had to add this on for perspective.

I'm fully on the "logan fell harder" bandwagon and here's why. I think wade's attraction to wolverine is a given. he's always been attracted to wolverine and that knowledge just sort of lives in the back of his mind constantly and he continues on with his life knowing if he ever, EVER, got a chance he would pounce. well, deadpool and wolverine was that chance. logan fell harder; he wanted literally NOTHING to do with wade from the jump then suddenly, miraculously, he's okay with dropping everything to help this "ridiculous, immature, half-wit moron" and not only SAVES his whole universe but he fucking goes home with the very same "jabbering little prick" at the end. he defies his own self-imposed lone wolf schtick by turning back when wade calls for him. ??? of course I'm on team Logan Fell Harder because logan fucking fell HARD
