Teaschooler would like to petition that right whales have their common name in English changed to cute whales so that people will not want to hurt them and will instead give them love.

Have to say, this does seem like it might have some effect on boats speeding and hurting right whales - it would be pretty damn hard to go home and tell your family how you killed a cute whale out of reckless disregard for its life

You can teleport! How does it look?

Puff of smoke

Leaving someone's sight and suddenly you are gone

Fading out of existence

PowerPoint animation

Transforming into a flock of crows

Portal

A trapdoor that isn't there when someone checks

Exploding into confetti

Popping out of existence with no fanfare

Shooting yourself out of a cannon

The Secret Option (tell me)

i don't even want to teleport

Remaining time: 3 days 1 hour

#portal but not like the game portal like actual doors #🚪#I must open and walk through a door #no one else can use the door like this #doors just take me wherever I want to go #even to places that would not naturally have a door #I can open a door out of a mountain #and as long as I leave the door open it stays that way #I can step out of tree trunks #open trapdoors out of streams #the trouble is that vertical doors must remain vertical and horizontal doors must remain horizontal #wall to wall or floor to floor basically

yesterday I was telling my coworker that some plants bloom because of stressors "you know like temperature, lighting changes, drought, current political events, etc" and they picked up a snake plant and whispered "today trump blamed a plane crash on diversity"

Having grown up w parents who were very pro gender neutral parenting the constant gendering of the new baby gifts industry is honestly distasteful to me. Like this is not in accordance with my traditional family values.

hello-delicious-tea

Things I give as new baby gifts: booty balm and deodorant from Little Seed Farms (I say this specifically because the first is the only thing that helped Teaschooler’s diaper rash and the second is the only thing that helped with the stank associated with postpartum hormone swings), chocolate, a bag of lactation cookies for the freezer if the birthing parent is breastfeeding, gift certificate to the local children’s consignment store, and my favorite baby book, Everywhere Babies. If we are close I may also knit you a baby cardigan in the color of your choice.

Baby gifts are unlikely to become treasures. The stuffed animal you give the baby is unlikely to become its favorite - if you give the baby a stuffed animal or indeed anything, make sure it is machine washable and machine dryable. Poo comes out of babies at alarming rates.

Mostly, don’t forget the parents! Especially the birthing parent but also the other one. They are about to engage on a very exhausting six to twelve weeks before the baby starts behaving in a reasonable fashion. Snacks are high value gifts.

I live by the motto, “if you can’t buy what you want, make it.” And this motto came to life recently in the form of a floral mosaic dining table for my back deck.

Our deck table had been showing its age already when the wind caught the umbrella and cracked it. I wanted to replace it with a mosaic table because I’d been enjoying that art form recently. But I couldn’t get one the size I wanted so I got creative.

I spent a few weeks looking for tile and figuring out a very loose design concept. I started by picking a limited set of tile shapes and a color palette.

Once the tiles arrived I had a piece of particle board cut to size for the base and I experimented with different motifs until I settled on a selection of floral shapes that gave me plenty of variety to fill space without locking me into one repeating pattern.

And then I was off! I basically doodled my way around the table, attaching tiles with Weld Bond (I went through 4 full bottles!) and rocking out to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

Once the florals were done it was time for the background…

Over 3,800 1cm glass tiles make up the not-design part of the design. It went pretty quickly though because I just had to fill the space, leaving room for grout.

Once I had the tile done, my husband assisted with disassembly and reassembly. We used the legs off the original table for this one (waste not).

One huge bucket of black grout later…

She is finished.

I enjoyed making it and just looking at it makes me so happy - I can’t wait for all the dinners we’ll have around this table 🌼❤️

Pride Fish!

I did it! And I'm really happy with how this turned out.

Rambouillet fiber from Banshee Fiber Art on Etsy hand spun and chain plied by me on a drop spindle. I've been really happy with everything I've gotten from this shop btw, the braids are always super fluffy and soft no matter the fiber type/breed.

This is only 16 or 17 grams of the total braid, which means I've got plenty left to make a few more. This is the equivalent of sport or dk weight.

I'm really glad my math worked out and I had just the right amount. The lower pectoral fins are made from Malabrigo Arroyo yarn in Cyan and worked out great. I can't wait to spin up the rest and make some more.

Bonus cat!

TeaBud, based on the grouchiness and increase and drool and sudden craving for human flesh and/or the handle of my favorite cooking spoon, is probably trying to push a tooth out.

Had forgotten what an Experience this is for both child and parent…

But Teaschooler fell asleep on a book for the first time today so like there is yet light upon the land

#teabud #parenting #she has been going ennnnnh ennnnnnnnh all day #for a couple days now #and I mean I can still cheer her up #she’s an inherently cheerful child #but she goes right back to the horrible sound as soon as the cheering up process ends #it wears upon the spirit #oh god I just remembered about teething butt #gotta watch out for that #I was trying to stress bake today and folks it does not work #if you have two disgruntled children #I can’t stress craft because my thumb joints are not cooperating #and I can’t stress read because #well #children

I think I am officially Fandom Old. I am so worn out from the arguments on who's the top or the bottom (who cares), what is allowed to be written (anything you want, bejeebus), what is Problematic (I know, just tag it), what other people Should Do (they Should live their lives free of judgment). There isn't a Right Way to do things. Tag your stuff appropriately, don't read stuff you don't want to read, and leave other people (me) alone.

There is nothing quite like the freedom of having gone through all of the Discourse and come out the other side into the promised land of Not Giving A Fuck.

The three keys to the promised land are “Block, Unfollow, and Do Not Engage”

you ever just sit and realise u can’t remember 80% of your childhood? like … what happened? who am i ..?

anisetheapothecary

Many people in the comments are saying “trauma”, but this is actually a very normal occurrence. It’s called Childhood Amnesia, and it’s a process which, as the brain reorganizes itself for cognitive thought that is developed in late childhood, it changes the Accessibility of those memories during recall. Many childhood memories are available to the person, but they will not be remembered during regular recall activity, you have to “trick” your brain into remembering with different tactics.

This is because there are two parts to memories - their encoding and their recall. The encoding determines their availability, their recall determines their accessibility. The reason why trauma memory and childhood amnesia are different is in this distinction. Trauma memory is often encoded differently, bypassing to the limbic system where it is stored as intrinsic memory. It can’t be recalled because it was never encoded. Childhood amnesia, however, seems to indicate that the memories are encoded, but we lose access to them as we age. This is most likely due to the development of brain structures that fundamentally change our encoding and recall of memory as we get older.

This is an important distinction, because trauma memory is “stored in the body”, i.e. you get triggers that send your body into a cascade of uncontrollable feelings, sensations and reactions. Whereas childhood memories won’t generally do that, they are just recalled at odd times with odd associations.

malcolmcooks

reblogging this because I’ve legit seen people freaking out when they realised they can’t remember some of their childhood, thinking they might have some repressed trauma.

we dont talk about cabbage enough. everyone take my hand let's all get really into cabbage. let's all sit in a big circle and study Korean cuisine for a while and get really into cabbage. we can do sauerkraut too. surely everyone in the world has something exciting to teach us about what to do with cabbage.

Being agreeable never did a woman any good.

Did you read the novel???

Why does this movie want to hurt me?

phireads

I’m really at a point with all these bad classic adaptations where I go WHY MAKE A PERIOD DRAMA THEN??? Like the 90s and early 2000s had some absolutely incredible modernised versions of classics (which were interpretations not adaptations). I’m talking She’s The Man, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, Bridget Jones’ Diary, Bride and Prejudice. These are all excellent examples and the references to the original texts make for a really fun viewing.

I suppose with this Sense & Sensibility, the issue isn’t necessarily the visuals (although loose hair scare!) but the fact that it appears to be completely missing the message of the book - these girls are not rebels! They’re a romantic and a realist (at least at the start) who are trying to do what they can WITHIN their society. So in that case, why not make a new film - untethered to Austen??? I know the answer is because they want to capitalise off of Jane Austen’s existing fanbase but seriously??? We don’t want this!

bethanydelleman

Just more Past as Aesthetic and period cosplay, but barely because loose hair is loose morals. Exactly as you say, make a modern if you don't want to do the past properly!

(As an aside, why am I so worked up? It's just a tagline. I'VE BEEN HURT BEFORE)

#ow.#my poor Elinor what are they doing to you #you already had to deal with your sister and now THIS?
