Reminder to avoid buying anything crochet new from big stores. Crochet (unlike knit) CANNOT be done by a machine and must be done by an actual human being. The person who made it was definitely not paid an appropriate amount for their labour. Most big stores use sweatshops anyway and I know it’s hard to completely avoid buying anything from a major store. But if those specific items don’t sell, we can send a message to companies that we don’t want items made fully by hand using slave labour

This summer, avoid any new crochet items. You don’t need THAT specific top that badly

you guys know you can get USB connectable CD, dvd, and blu-ray players right. and you can buy external hard drives with crazy amounts of space for an amount of money that would make the average person from 2009’s head explode bc of how cheap it is. and if you do this and get ripping software such as handbrake for CDs and DVDs and makeMKV for blurays you can both own a physical copy of whatever media you want and make it accessible to yourself no matter where you are. do you guys know this

Why the ever loving fuck would you go out of your way to tag the character and the fandom in your posts shitting on said character???

Why spread so much hate and negativity to people who look through the tag for nice things???

I don't understand the mentality behind doing stuff like that, I truly dont

But I have blocked and moved on and found nice things to remind me the fandom is really quite lovely after all

Someone I know not well enough to voice my opinion on the subject said something like why didn’t God make potatoes a low-calorie food so I am here to say: God made them like that because their nutrition density IS what makes them healthy. By God I mean Andean agricultural technicians. Potato is healthy BECAUSE potato holds calories and vitamins. Do not malign potato

Ok. I've got chocolate, cream, and condensed milk

Mousse is melt chocolate and stick cream in the stand mixer then mix together when cream fluffy

Fudge is sticking chocolate and condensed milk in the slow cooker till it's all melted then waiting till it's set in the fridge

#looking like i get mousse tomorrow! #which is great since the poll made me realise that was what i wanted anyway 😁

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐

To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

#why ARE earth's eyes moving???

Why does reaching out to someone and starting a conversation always have to be so scary?

This person is nice. I have talked to them before. And yet my brain is acting like I'm about to go give a live speech to 1000 people and then do a high dive off a waterfall???

Why are we like this body? Just why?????

I fucking knew it, I SAID it: they're making ADHD people the next culture war targets. They will 'just ask questions' until we lose every scrap of ground we've gained in the last decade and more. We may not quite inspire the same level of hatred as a sexual minority, but we can very easily be made to inspire disdain and that also works.

They will strip us of our accomodations and our medications and try to stifle any sense of shared identity, and if that kills some of us, oh well. So long as it fuels another outrage cycle, fine.

So many of the tropes they've been using on trans people work extremely well on ADHD people too! "There are too many of these people suddenly! It must be a fad! It spreads through friend groups! And online! People are going private for diagnoses and that's bad! They are using pOwERfUl medical interventions and we think it's freaky!"

I saw the first ripples of this in terf circles about two years ago. And of course it's spread.

6% of British ADHD people lost their jobs in the last year thanks to the meds shortage. SIX PER CENT! And that just made these ghouls go "ooh, tasty, what else can we do?"

Recently an 'expert' was on the BBC saying people see ADHD diagnosis as a "golden ticket." Laurence Fox has been ranting that the condition doesn't exist and threatening "'you won't poison my child's body [with ADHD meds] against my consent"

People need to be aware this is going to get worse. Maybe, if we're lucky, it won't get really bad. But it's going to get worse than it is now.

#oh for fucks sake #i swear if this blows up before i get to try the next lot of meds im meant to (elvanse/lisdexam-whatever) in 6ish months i will be so pissed

Fire emblem challenge run where you can only use units with natural hair color.

The difficulty will vary depending on the game and how “anime” it is.

3 houses is more anime than engage.

#id argue for edelgard and lysithea being natural because trauma

I don't remember if I ever shared this here but I made a mod that turns the obelisks into cute trees in Stardew. I updated it last week so they change with the seasons now :)

It's on Nexus Mods here
