This is why they didn't teach us our 30 human rights; they now can play the shell game with us.

Educate yourself as much as possible

The State Department is changing its mind about what it calls human rights

The agency's annual human rights reports are being purged of references to prison conditions, political corruption and other abuses.

The US right now:

Headcanon: goblin is a homophone heavy language; you can learn a quarter or so of it and b able to understand the rest.

This sounds amazing, but it also has the Grammer of a drunk man: n's and l's are dropped, double letters are dropped, and many noises are terribly recorded.

A number of words are borrowed words from other languages as well, which makes it more complicated.

Example: "behl e banum" has several possibilities:

Either "that large animal is over there" or "that large animal is constipated," or "nose in dirt, poo is good," and only those fluent in the language understand the context and how to respond without sounding like an idiot.

"Gway ot ma gassa" gets even messier; "ma gassa" and "magassa" are two completely different things, and "ot" and "öt" can lead to disaster if swapped around.

This is why it sounds like noise; because it's several layers of context and percise pronunciation.

They seem like canon fodder, but in groups, word spreads fast, and what's implied is understood.

The Norfolk Knife

The Norfolk Knife is an oversized exhibition knife with 75 blades/tools, made by Joseph Rodgers & Sons in 1851. It is exhibited in Cutlers’ Hall, the headquarters of the cutlers’ guild of Sheffield (officially the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire). [x] [x]

So I've been working with chainmail for about a year and a half now and I've gathered knowledge on it:

- making maile isn't for the faint of heart: there's about 1000 rings in my work, and that's SMALL compared to a shirt or coif (hood)

- stained fingers and the smell of metal are normal

- there's more to it than "metal rings go together"; there's math involved, mainly the ratio of the inside diameter of the ring and the diameter of the wire used, which impacts what patterns can be used; there's a lot of uses of triangles, especially with seams; and a whole lot of counting and checking fit

- it's like knitting in some concepts, but it's different in most. Mainly, you're having to handle metal rings that, if dropped, disappear into the aether for a couple of months.

- small and tight doesn't immediately mean it's a good idea. It just means you'll be gaining length at a slower speed.

Abrahamic religions can be compared to a grilled cheese sandwich:

Is it cut diagonal, horizontal, or vertical?

Why argue when it's the same sandwich

I hate the way our world is built around money.

I genuinely hate how our entire society is built around money. We don't see people as human anymore, we see them as assets or burdens. We are all alive and I firmly believe that:

Immigrants are human;

Trans people are human;

People of color are human;

Queer people are human;

Intersex people are human;

People of any religion or no religion are human;

Every single human deserves the right to Healthcare, food, shelter, clothing, education and BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS. Politicians see people as burdens, money or insignificant pawns in their game. This needs to stop. We all deserve to not only exist and live, but truly thrive. While the rich get richer, the rest of the world gets left behind. We are all equal, so we need to start fucking acting like it.

I used to put caution/warning marks in my earmuffs when I used to work loud saws as a job.

I thought they were hilarious because "haha, loud saw, and I can't hear anything," but I feel like it should be normal to put those marks on earmuffs even if it's not loud.

Imagine your autistic and wearing muffs with warning signs on the sides; people will probably approach you with caution.

Something to try
