a guide??? idk

  • #aes: pictures i like that also includes funny things that fit the theme sometimes
  • #kin, #abt me, #me me kin id, #me: tags from like middle school that i still use that all kinda mean the same thing (being that i relate to whatever’s tagged with any of this somehow. i need to fix this
  • #fave: the best posts. the cream of the crop. the tag i go through if i want to either laugh my ass off or do a little fist pumping motion because i like the post. self explanatory
  • #good art to look at later: good art that i want to look at later. will tag basically every art reblog as this. i wish 13 yr old me would just tag it as “good art” instead because the way it’s phrased sounds borderline creepy
  • #remind me to do this later: when i see a post and i think “this will be useful!” so i tag it as such and then either completely forget about it or i lose it because tumblr’s search function is fucking broken
  • #ref: similar to above, just usually things to keep in mind for later like art references or free book sites or something
  • #yo from yoyo: me talking in an op (non reblogs)
  • #buy this #buy this later: things i want to buy but either can’t be bothered at the moment or can’t afford

gonna gradually start using less of these because i did not know how tagging worked when i started this blog but this is just for reference sake. and also so people who see me tag their art as “#good art to look at later” don’t immediately block me and file a restraining order

do not, my friends, become addicted to treats. they will take hold of you, and you will meow meow meow mew meow mew mew meow mewo meow

Anyway here's some additions from the Maasai and Kikuyu, two grassy plain-dwelling groups from Eastern Africa that I think count as unfuckwithable

Feel like Poland should be included since we're literally called "people of the fields" according to the etymology of Poland.

Also look at her GO

I’m Métis, here’s some of ours! You’ll notice it looks remarkably similar to the above.

We also have some less intricate clothing (if it looks a bit Victorian to you - that’s pretty much the right era for most of this!)

Can’t believe no one’s done it yet I will be the person to add the cowboys: Latin American focus.

Here is the Chilean huaso:

Gauchos, from primarily Argentina where they’re a large national symbol close to the level of cowboys in the US. Also gauchos are in Uruguay.  Their pants are called bombachas and the other garment wrapped around them are called chiripas.  They work in grasslands called pampas, known for being really fertile:

While they’re not as dressed up as the others or have as prominent of a culture, for a broader Latin American cowboy context, I feel like also adding llaneros, who are from Colombia and Venezuela, in the llanos region, a type of tropical grassland similar to the pampas, hence the name llanero. Pampas get annual flooding and these guys would go barefoot a lot, and you can see that the stirrup on the horse’s saddle is really different than what you’re probably used to seeing, to accommodate for that, which is what I want to point out as an aspect of plains cultures developing clothing/accessories/tools to suit the environment.

Cowboy culture happened wherever Spanish colonial influence and grassland biomes came together.  They differ based on the grasslands having different climates (ex tropical in South America), and the local indigenous influence (ex, backtracking to gauchos, they would use this tool called bolas to catch animals, which were basically two balls tied to a string that you threw and it spun around an animals legs, and were an indigenous invention):

I would love to keep posting cowboy dress lol but will stick to the post’s theme of grassland of course.  

Adding to the post, I, hereby, present people of Kalash and Chitral:

Chitral means ‘field’ in the native language Khowar. Both Chitralis and people of Kalash are known to be indigenous people of Asia.

this is going to make me throw upp

trying to fact check a very important post about what happens if you drink salt water (seawater) to see if my preconceived notions were simply myth or some shit and the first internet search results are this

image

  1. livestrong "it will make your body so clean and pure drink salt water :) your colon will LOVE this"
  2. drinkhydrant "its literally SOOOOO good for your digestion system <3"
  3. The National Ocean Service "It can fucking kill you, please don't"

this is a great lesson in why sources are important

I think we should start putting Wellness Industry people into the ocean

oh my god. minecraft painting had a bnnuy this entire time. this is beautiful

AAAHHHHHHHH AAHHHH AAHHHH <— sounds of happiness

Hey just a heads up if you're going to Minneapolis Pride this weekend, if you pass a booth with people asking you to watch a video and they'll pay you a dollar, don't do it. They're a group like PETA that's trying to trick you into watching a graphic video about animal slaughter. It's a ten minute video of animal gore that they're trying to play off as activism. If you are any type of sensitive to gore, don't watch the video.

This isn't any sort of criticism of vegans or vegetarians, this is just a friendly warning about groups that want to show you animals dying and covered in blood. Regardless of your opinions on animal welfare, that's not okay to show to people with no warning.

me: yeah man i just havent been feeling all that in it lately

my friend the evil fire skull from hell:
