    My friends don’t know anything about my hometown, so I just name everything after old street names or old parts of town.

    • Cabbageford
    • Countsclearing
    • Blackstakes
    • Turnpike
    • Holyspring
    • Stepsstream
    • Canyard
    • Cattlestream Valley
    • On The Height
    • Cottageville
    • Stalkpond
    • Firecreek
    • Meadowsmill
    • Sticks
    • Bogbrook
    • Bogbridge
    • Kingsroad
    • Goldenworth

    It feels incredibly realistic, because it is.








  • To be honest, I could have had a better paycheck doing industrial plumbing for an international chem-corp near my hometown, but I really love solving problems and puzzles and to work with my mind, not my hands. Programming was my hobby since I was 16, and I just made my hobby into a job. Still love it.

    Yes, of course you can (and you definitely should in your personal life) disregard all the cultural context and baggage that has largely been attached to Christmas and Santa and just celebrate a time of vacation, family, love and giving… but imho the chart assumes to represent a cultural understanding of figures from story and myth that have significant symbolical value in modern, americanized, western culture and to represent the cultural context of those symbols.

    So to disregard the cultural context in a chart that tries to show cultural context is… bold.

    Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.

    Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.

    Bird cladistics is wild!
