This is a beautiful graphic but it doesn’t explain the pros and cons of each fire type.
The Swedish torch is good for an efficient and contained fire, it’s controlled and good for cooking over and produces less light and heat than other fires. It can be difficult to keep going once you burn through the original log
The teepee is your traditional campfire. Good for heat and light not great for cooking, burns through fuel fairly quickly
The star fire is one of the slowest burning and not well protected but provides an even heat good for slow cooking and is excellent if you have limited fuel and need the protection a fire can provide
The lean to is a compact and efficient fire that evolves into a dense and hot bed of coals. The structure creates a good source of air flow which can help damp wood burn. A slightly better cooking fire that isn’t as bright. It also provides protection from wind on one side
The platform fire is incredibly hot and will create a very thick bed of coals but it doesn’t have a lot of air flow and is a little harder to get started.
The log cabin is big and bright and has lots of air flow which again is good for damp logs. You can also use this structure to start a smaller fire in the middle while drying out bigger logs. This fire will crumble into a messier bed of coals that don’t produce particularly even heat for cooking.
The modified leanto is excellent if you need it to perform multiple functions. The side with more fuel will burn bright and hot and the side with less fuel will burn less hot but more evenly and controlled, this gives you different cooking options.
reblogging for writing purposes. the exact reason will come soon enough.
I really, really, really do love teaching, but I hate how complaining about my job has everyone telling me I should quit or that it’s not for me. All of that is such bullshit. Just because I’m willing to call out the toxicity and non-sustainability of our current education system doesn’t mean I’m not a good teacher.
Other teachers and folks in education think like me. They just either don’t say anything out of fear of backlash or are in a battle with falling in love with the martyr-ness of education.
It sucks because our education system is TURNING teachers into shitty teachers. Allllllll of the anti-burnout strategies lead to stagnant teaching.
at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback
what’s more iconic than this
The original creator made an updated version with an extra lavender stripe to represent diversity and I fell that’s worth mentioning!
i made some edits of these versions in the styles of the philadelphia inclusive pride flag and daniel quasar’s progress pride flag if anyone would like to see/use these as well!
Oooo the updated progress pride flag is soooooo pretty
no one wants to hear it but love is earned after the initial infatuation. commitment is something u both mutually agree to and then from there it’s work. it’s not work like it’s a chore it’s jus work like it takes effort. to get good at these things takes practice. it takes practice to learn to communicate better and it takes practice to learn to love each other in the ways u need to be loved.
I’m thinking about signing up for a relationship anxiety boot camp. Right now, I’m feeling good and confident and I’m communicating well, but I worry in a few weeks or so, I’ll fall back into my same old habits with Sam and it makes me nervous.
I think we can make it work. I communicated my needs. He feels confident in his ability to meet my needs. I feel good about us.
It was so nice to be held by him and to have him kiss/bite my nose. I love his smile and his long hair. I’m happy.
He doesn’t realize that love is a series of active choices and because the only people in his life are just his immediate family members, he doesn’t get that love isn’t always unconditional and you have to do so shit.
He’ll also say that he thinks he’s on the spectrum and he struggles with social connection, but yet, thinks once he finds “the one,” he will naturally do all the things you’re ~supposed~ to do when you love someone.
