#I'm always confused about the north american garbage disposal in the sink#where does the garbage go?#doesn't it clog up the pipes#honestly#combined with their weird toilets#US plumbing is a mystery to me (@ironedorchid)

You're only supposed to put food down the disposal. It gets ground up and goes down the pipes. I guess the main pipes (standpipes) are big? I don't know. You can't put things like large lettuce leaves (it just makes a mess) or things that are really hard (melon rinds, corn cobs) down it, either. I've heard that plumbers hate them, but I'm not a plumber.

I saw a video on facebook by a British woman responding to some USAmerican being confused/horrified by a European toilet because there's so little water in it, and the Brit explained with diagrams the difference between the plumbing systems. But generally speaking, US toilets use way more water than is necessary, even water-saving ones.

I knew it was only for food waste... But food waste can still clog up plumbing!

Lots of Australians use a sink strainer to stop tiny scraps of food from going down the sink after doing the dishes.

I think the idea is, like "if you grind it up really really small, it'll be ok," but most people probably don't run it long enough to grind it really really small (the size of things that fit through the holes in the sink strainer). The bigger problem I hear about from the news is twofold: a) people putting grease down the drain and b) those wet wipes that SAY they're flushable but they do not degrade like paper so they contribute to massive fatbergs (with the grease) in sewer systems.

Autonomy is the ability to refuse help from someone but accept it from someone else. Or refuse help at one point and accept it at another. Or refuse help in one context and accept it in a different one. If you hold this ‘inconsistency’ against someone then you don’t actually respect their autonomy.

Inspired by my walking past a home built in 1754 in my new neighborhood, which isn't even the oldest building in the city. As someone born and raised in the Western US (where we do have some very old buildings, contrary to popular belief, just not in the middle of most cities), it made me curious!

When was the oldest extant building you can reasonably walk to from your home built?

20th century

19th century

18th century

17th century

16th century

15th century

14th century

13th century

12th century

11th century

10th century or before

Remaining time: 4 days 18 hours

(Use your judgement for definitions of "extant," it doesn't have to be used for its original purpose but my intention is a building that could theoretically still be used, not just the remnants of one.)

#I can walk to the oldest building in the state #which waass built in 1831 #but the oldest evidence of humans living here #is from 60k years ago #and there are oral traditions describing the last ice age #which was 10k years ago #so permanent buildings are not the same as history #or evidence of habitation #noongar boodja #stolen land

something about john, a māori man, trapping the earths body in a white, blonde woman based off a barbie doll, a symbol of white feminity. something about this barbies soul ending up in a black/brown girls body, and being surrounded by people who loved her more wholesomely than john ever did. something about john supressing his culture through in empire for tens of thousands of years, naming his lyctors after classical figures and pursuing the same colonial policies that forever harmed his people. something about how john can never truly escape from where he came from.

this is advice I've given friends directly before and I've probably also posted it but I really like giving it so here it is potentially again: do not create something for an imaginary bad faith reader.

there will always be someone who finds fault in your work. there will be people who read the messages on it wrong. there will be people who will take every compelling aspect about your work off of it so they can put in their own.

you cannot make art for these people.

you will never write a story that is free from criticism. you will never draw a piece that everyone finds appealing. you will never compose a song that everyone enjoys hearing. you cannot, fundamentally, set out to create something and only think of how you can avoid someone not liking it.

because, and this is key, there will be someone who sees every angle of your story and feels its intent in their heart and gushes to their friends about it. you will draw someone's favorite art and they will make it their phone wallpaper because they want to see it every day. someone will fall in love with your song and loop it on their way to work because it gets them through the day. and THOSE are the people your work is for. THOSE are the people you have to care about, because they love what you make for what it is - because it's itself.

if you set out to create something and file off every sharp edge, prune every thorn, you will be left with something fragile and weak, and it will be fragile and weak for the sake of someone who does not exist but that you were scared of anyway.

sharing art is complex and tangled and powerful, and anything you care enough to create deserves to flourish as itself. get sillay.
