"Struggling Financially? Try this"--NO.
No I will not give up Starbucks once in a while or avocados or watching movies or fucking breakfast. No I will not strip my life bare of the tiniest luxuries and then basic fucking necessities too just to be no better off. How about you fix the goddamn economy? How about you forgive student loans which shouldn't have existed in the first place and tax fucking billionaires and put limits on rent and medication and outlaw bank fees and bust some goddamn monopolies? How about you act to make the world better instead of worse for fucking once, huh? How about that? I fucking dare you.

i love angua as a character so much because like the way she thinks feels so real to me. the books where we get to be in angua’s head are some of my favorites, men at arms, feet of clay, thud! and fifth elephant being the ones i can remember of the top of my head.
she is so at odds with herself all the time, and this rings so true to my own experience: i have feelings which i have less control over them, and then i have to either justify or refute those feelings, depending what i think is “valid.” and of course, this causes inner conflict when i’m feeling something i think i shouldn’t be.
we see this in angua all the time! one example that i LOVE is when she is frustrated at how easy going carrot is, that things don’t bother him and just slide off his back. the complex guilt and frustration of feeling like things about her SHOULD bother him but don’t, and instead of being grateful or fawning over him for it it annoys her, and then she feels BAD about the way she feels about it! idk just the layers of her self image and the way she interacts with the world rings so true to me, and i love her for it.

Analysis of data from dozens of foraging societies around the world shows that women hunt in at least 79% of these societies, opposing the widespread belief that men exclusively hunt and women exclusively gather. Abigail Anderson of Seattle Pacific University, US, and colleagues presented these findings in the open-access journal PLOS ONE on June 28, 2023.
A common belief holds that, among foraging populations, men have typically hunted animals while women gathered plant products for food. However, mounting archaeological evidence from across human history and prehistory is challenging this paradigm; for instance, women in many societies have been found buried alongside big-game hunting tools.
Some researchers have suggested that women's role as hunters was confined to the past, with more recent foraging societies following the paradigm of men as hunters and women as gatherers. To investigate that possibility, Anderson and colleagues analyzed data from the past 100 years on 63 foraging societies around the world, including societies in North and South America, Africa, Australia, Asia, and the Oceanic region.
They found that women hunt in 79% of the analyzed societies, regardless of their status as mothers. More than 70% of female hunting appears to be intentional—as opposed to opportunistic killing of animals encountered while performing other activities, and intentional hunting by women appears to target game of all sizes, most often large game.
The analysis also revealed that women are actively involved in teaching hunting practices and that they often employ a greater variety of weapon choice and hunting strategies than men.
These findings suggest that, in many foraging societies, women are skilled hunters and play an instrumental role in the practice, adding to the evidence opposing long-held perceptions about gender roles in foraging societies. The authors note that these stereotypes have influenced previous archaeological studies, with, for instance, some researchers reluctant to interpret objects buried with women as hunting tools. They call for reevaluation of such evidence and caution against misapplying the idea of men as hunters and women as gatherers in future research.
The authors add, "Evidence from around the world shows that women participate in subsistence hunting in the majority of cultures."
