Piracy was everything from naval militias defending port towns to slavery abolitionists, there was a black samurai in the 1500s known as Yasuke, and Charley Packhurst was a one-eyed, female-assigned-at-birth, male-presenting hardass who famously ran stagecoaches. History books are big fat bricks of whitewash.
spiders
the funny thing is that I can remember having had a dream about almost exactly that, suddenly realizing I was covered in tiny baby spiders and being deeply cuted and concerned and trying hard to brush them off while not hurting them. good to know that's exactly how my conscious mind reacts too!
spiders
to which my reaction was "d'awwww, lookit the tiny baby spiders!" and then to be as careful as possible about brushing them off and not squishing them. I've probably brought at least a half-dozen of them inside with me, and I may have several still crawling around on me somewhere, but they were SO CUTE AND TINY. XD
also the crow was extremely pleased with the peanubs. ^___^
spiders
a crow came to the porch railing and gave me The Look, so I went outside and refilled the suet feeder and put out peanuts. while I was out there I felt spiderwebs, which didn't seem unusual until I realized that a spider egg clutch had hatched on either the suet or the hummingbird feeder, and there were dozens of tiny spiders all over the porch, about the size of a pinhead, many of them dangling from the suet feeder. I then realized I was mildly covered in tiny baby spiders.
slow cooker rookie troubleshooting (specifically: chicken stew/soup)
so I found this amazing recipe, which is basically chicken (cut into 1" cubes), vegetables, chicken stock, and spices, and the result is uniformly fantastic *except* that the chicken keeps coming out dry and chewy. is there something obvious I'm doing wrong?

Written language is one of the coolest things we jank-ass apes have ever figured out how to do.

Protip:
When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,
"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes
I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

ICE, immigration, kids, twitter link
A friend of mine I trust just directed me towards this thread on twitter. Consider it suggested reading to mitigate and properly direct outrage to the right places.

Beginner tip: marry a blacksmith for free swords.
Pro tip: marry many blacksmiths and get a whole poly-armory
one of the crow fledglings has found its way to the neighborhood of my porch, so now I'm being treated to a round of angry "FEED ME OMG" honking. XD
Spouse: the googly eyes you stuck on the Roomba make it look so innocent as it's trying to eat and run away with my computer cables...
downstairs neighbors are playing music really loud, but all we can hear upstairs is the base, which sounds like an irregular and badly-tuned foghorn. o____o *BOOOO-DOOOOO-DUUUUM*
I'm watching the TinyKittens Kitten Cam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PowGFq6X3Co and right now it is a KITTEN RIOT. they're bouncing all over everywhere and wrassling with each other and making adorable little trilling sounds. eeeee

had a brief dreambit about the ending of "I Am Dragon"... that really is a good movie.
yardwork, allergies, mild body horror
I can hear the mowers going and MY ENTIRE BODY IS COVERED IN ITCHING. eerrrgggghhhhh *twitchtwitch* evidently there's something I'm extra-allergic to in the air right now. I should probably cut my nails down entirely before I start drawing blood on my own skin...
