Damn, that's useful

Finally a hand sewing tutorial on a hemline that isn't just the ladder stitch! the ladder stitch disappears when you tighten it, but it's not meant for hemlines because it breaks really easily! The overlock stitch is more stable, so it holds much longer, and it won't pucker or warp the fabric!

OH HELL THE FUCK YES

also turned into the myth that citrus nullifies HRT

if you have any sort of chronic inflammation take your damn vitamin C please it's so important i'm begging uou please

to make this statement extra wild: vitamin c actually helps with symptoms of fatigue and depression. and if you don't want to just look at the mayo clinic's website, you can check out papers here and here (both peer-reviewed) that basically say the same thing. vitamin c deficiency can actually cause mental health problems, not the other way around.

Vitamin C helps your collagen. It helps with wound repair. It helps with so much. Do not neglect Vitamin C. Vitamin C is so good for you.

Semi serious question, can I just put "was a joy to have in the classroom" and they'll know what that means?

Actually, no, I don't think that friendships dropping like flies in your late 20s and early 30s because no one has time for that between overwork and family obligations and marriage and kids and partners and the ritual of the time slayer is normal and ok. No I don't think deep conversations and spontaneous adventures being replaced with a tired coffee every six months is a normal part of growing up. I don't think that emotional intimacy and soul bonds disintegrating in the face of practical inconvenience is a fact of life. I think that means something is deeply deeply wrong with our society and I will never forgive it for the friends I've lost

It makes me think about how for my friend group, it split a little bit into "group of people with kids" and "group without kids". The parents friends will have playdates or invite the other parents and their kids to child-based events, and generally not invite the non-parents because most people would probably not wish to go be around a dozen screaming children if their child was not one of them. And the non-parents friends will make plans when none of the parents are able to attend, or there always has to be a choice of which parent attends the "not necessarily for children" event because someone has to stay home with the kids. Of course it's not a complete split because no one's actually being ostracized for the circumstances of their household, but it's definitely really hard to keep it all together.

the kitties long for the weighing tub

i love learning about animals ive literally never seen or heard of before. what amazing diversity of life on this planet earth. what the hell is a japanese serow

my own personal biggest "never kill yourself" is that every week i am alive i am learning about the existence of plants and animals ive never seen before. so many decades ive been on this planet and i still only know a fraction of the incredible life on here. today i only just heard of a silky sifaka for the first time. who knows what ill learn next week.

reblog if you, too, have just learned of the silky sifaka

In every way this is set up to be a joke like any other short video, it even uses the trope of main character in a wig to represent their mom, but it isn't funny at all. It's just sweet and nice
