ARACHNOPHOBES DON’T LOOK! This is my own Charlotte’s Web friend, my yurt roommate. I’ve named her Dolores, she’s a female Spotted Orb Weaver of truly magnificent size, and she spends 45 minutes at least every night weaving me an elaborate chandelier. She’s not the world’s greatest roommate, sometimes she gets overambitious with the web thing, but she’s quiet and eats bugs, so.
I’m not super chill with spiders but her formidable presence actually seems to drive other spiders off, so I’m reassuring myself that at least she’s so huge I know where she is so she’s definitely not in my hair.

redsatinsheets: y’all love to mock asian nail

y’all love to mock asian nail salon owners so here’s a little background for your dumbasses:

during the vietnam war, many vietnamese refugees came to america, a lot being women and their children. an american actress, tippi hedren, flew to sacramento, ca. to visit a refugee camp. she wanted to meet the women who were living there and figure out ways to support them. many of them had lost their husbands in the war and were now left without an income and many had no knowledge of how to begin to provide for themselves and their children. while there, tippi noticed that many of the women were fascinated with her manicured nails. tippi had gotten the idea to fly her manicurist to the refugee camp to teach the women how to do nails, in hopes of giving these women a way to support themselves and their families. tippi had paid for 20 women from the refugee camp to attend beautician school and help them get their licenses & eventually find jobs. about 51% of manicurists in the u.s. are vietnamese and many of them are direct descendants of these 20 women who were given the chance to go to beautician school at the courtesy of tippi. so next time y’all want to mock and make fun of hardworking nail techs and treat them like shit, just remember that this is all because of the labor and the persistence of their ancestors who came here with nothing.
