This comic only mentions different hallucinations based on sensory modality (which sense it impacts) but there are other ways to categorise hallucinations such as the theme of the hallucination or the severity of the hallucination
Hallucinations don’t only affect schizospec people and can happen to people without a psychotic disorder or any mental illness/condition
Messes me up how the tea snobs were right.
I'm out here temp gunning my water because the tea snobs are right and temperature is everything.
I'm temp gunning frickin water.
I've stopped adding sweeteners because there's simply no bitterness to mask anymore because the tea is brewed properly at the right temps. Damn it all.
So water that was JUST boiling is still going to be like, basically boiling yes!
And steeping at 175F for 4 minutes? It will barely change temperature in a mug in 4 minutes.
When I overheat water, say I want it at 75C but I get distracted and it hits 100C boiling. I have to wait like 30 WHOLE MINUTES before it cools off to 75C. That's in my glass electric kettle, not even a better insulated mug. The costs of distraction are great.
Also I have been trying matcha and got done with my little box of packets and went to a different powder in a tin. All of these said to use boiling water. So I use boiling water on this new matcha powder and it's like, the most bitter thing my lips have ever touched. I spat it out, I was in shock it was so bitter, so gross. SO HORRIBLE. I prepared it the exact same way, but this time at 75C and it's delicious. So follow your heart. Don't burn matcha. Get a real way to take the temperature (I'm using a $15 temperature gun, it works!) because I cannot visually tell between 65-75C or 85-95C, but let me tell you, the tea sure can tell the difference.

Hefekranz - German Sweet Bread
I have received an unholy number of requests for my recipe. So here it is, at long last.
Disseminate at your own discretion!
Preparation and baking time: 3-5 hours
Feeds: One really hungry person; two moderately hungry people; three or four normal-hungry people; or maybe five peckish people.
Warning: Dangerously delicious.
1. Ingredients
1.1 Dough:
500g/1lb flour
100g+20g (3.5oz+1oz) sugar (or more, to taste. I occasionally pig out and add ALL of the sugar)
250ml/½ pint milk (I use semi-skimmed, but recipe calls for full. This is up to you)
21g/0.75oz yeast
1 egg
½ tsp salt (this is not necessary)
80g/3oz butter (salted, preferably)
Optional ingredients:
Cinnamon sugar (cinnamon + sugar + shaking; quantities are flexible and mostly up to you. Warning: this makes your hefekranz taste a lot like magic. Add in step 14)
Vanilla (vanilla sugar or pod seeds; add early for maximum effect)
Raisins (add when the moment feels right)
1.2 Glaze:
1 egg
1.3 Frosting
milk and powder sugar (amounts depend on dough size… it’s complicated. See step 21).
Optional:
Thinly sliced almonds to sprinkle over the top.
2. Preparation: (it’s really not as complicated as it looks, I promise!)
1. Prepare ingredient quantities as outlined above. It’s good to have the butter quite warm, but will work with cold butter too. 2. In a large mixing bowl, mix together 100g/3.5oz sugar and the flour. 3. Warm your milk to lukewarm. DO NOT OVERHEAT; the yeast will die a horrible death and instead of bread you will wind up making a rock. A delicious rock, but a rock nonetheless. 4. Add 20g/1oz sugar to the milk. Stir well to dissolve. Then add yeast. Leave this mixture to activate for at least five minutes.
5. While you wait, heat your butter in a microwave until it is basically delicious yellow liquid. 6. After activation of yeast, the container with the milk should be frothing like a rabid dog. Add butter, yeast mixture, and an egg to your flour.
7. Knead into a dough. Add flour as necessary (I usually have to add about 150g/5oz of flour at this stage, but it depends on your flour). Continue to knead for 8-10 minutes. Work those muscles.
8. When your dough is smooth and relatively dry to the touch, but still malleable, flour the base of your bowl, put in the dough, and put it aside to let it rise (N.B. if you do this in the open, cover with a clean dishcloth to avoid nasty things landing in your delicious dough). I recommend putting it in an oven at 40-60°C/100-140°F, if you can, to rise. Rising can take anywhere from 1-3 hours, depending on temperature.
9. When dough has become enormous, remove from the bowl, and knead for another minute or two. 10. Set your oven to 160°C/320°F (or thereabouts). 11. Test your dough. You know you want to. MMMMmmmmm. Yeah, that’s right. 12. Divide dough into three or four equally sized balls (four is easier because… halves). 13. Take each of these balls and rub it between your hands (hoho, saucy) to elongate it into a noodle shape (let’s be honest, this is the phallic part). Best results come from fairly thick and short strands (this is not getting any better, sorry). 14. OPTIONAL: Roll these strands out flat (lengthways), sprinkle with magic powder (cinnamon sugar) and then roll them up again to make a cinnamon core to each strand. 15. Braid your strands together. The easiest way to do this is to treat it like a weaving project and start in the middle and work towards each end. But you can also start at the ends and braid from there. Cover your strands in flour if they are getting hard to braid – but don’t overdo it, or your bread will be quite floury.
16. Cover this beautiful creation with a dishcloth, and let it rise for 30 minutes. This seals the gaps in your crappy braids. 17. While you wait, prepare your glaze: Get a cup, and beat an egg in it. 18. After your 30 minutes has passed, with either a paper towel (if you are a poor student) or a basting brush (if you are a swanky monkey), gently glaze your ENTIRE loaf (except the underside, obviously). Make sure to get the egg in the cracks. The whole thing should be shiny by this stage. 19. Throw your bread in the oven! 20. Cook for 25 minutes at 160°C/320°F, or until the outside of the bread is about the colour of Chewbacca. Lower the temperature to 140°C/280°F, and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes or so. Make sure it doesn’t get too dark; some ovens cool down slower than others. 21. While you wait to cook, prepare your frosting: Take about half a cup of powder sugar, and add a dribble of milk to it. Stir with a fork or spoon. Bear in mind that this will become VERY thin VERY quickly. Add sugar or milk as required to make a frosting that is just thin enough that your silverware no longer stands up in it. You want it to flow out of the cup when you frost. 22. Once your bread is done, remove, frost, and let cool for five to twenty minutes, or as long as you can keep your hungry claws off of it.
For maximum pleasure, cut thick slices (nearly 2cm thick or so), and make some hot chocolate. Dip the bread IN the hot chocolate. Let it soak for a bit. Transfer to mouth. Smile and look wistfully out the window.
And remember: pics or it didn’t happen.
A thing of beauty!! I will have to try that cinnamon on top of the loaf before baking!

Costume appreciation series: The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992) dir Brian Henson
Costume Design by Ann Hollowood and Polly Smith
Fashion historian Abby Cox did a delightful 30-minute breakdown of the costumes in The Muppet Christmas Carol:
And Nichole Rudolph recreated Gonzo as Charles Dickens’ outfit from the movie using historical research and techniques. Here’s a playlist of 9 videos documenting the process:
Every year it makes me so happy to see people discovering (or rediscovering) that the Muppets Christmas Carol is genuinely one of the best films ever made and I’m not kidding.
You could look at pretty much any aspect of filming - special effects! Music! Set design! - and literally every person on every team went absolute ham for this movie, because it was a labor of love. Brian Henson made the movie after the death of his father Jim Henson and co-father Richard Hunt. The whole team was devastated after losing the two men who had brought the heart and soul and creativity to The Muppets from the very beginning, and for a while there was debate over whether they should keep making movies at all.
(That scene where Kermit, voiced by Brian Henson, says the brief epitaph for Tiny Tim? The cracks and wavers in Brian’s voice are very real as he says “Life is full of meetings and partings children, that is the way of it. I’m sure we will never forget… this first… parting there was among us…” MY HEART.)
Eventually they decided that they would make this movie, and they would make it as a tribute to all the things Jim and Richard valued; kindness and empathy, in-jokes about life in showbiz, and an attention to detail that even the most autistic among us might not notice at first glance.
Please enjoy some screenshots of Abby Cox’s video, because she did her fucking homework hunting down the specific fashion plates Smith and Hollowood referenced:
(See they were printing plates with the latest fashions on them, that’s where the expression comes from!)
I do want to point out that the costume designers, Ann Hollowood and Polly Smith, were prepared to bring their absolute A game for this project even when it only had the budget of a made-for-tv Christmas special. But when the producers scored Michael Caine and locked in that good good Disney money, these two maniacs looked at each other and immediately said, probably in unison, “We are going to exhaustively research smocking techniques for men’s work shirts specifically from 1840 to 1842 - and keep in mind we’re doing this at a time before the internet is really a thing - then we are going to hand sew a tiny, perfectly accurate recreation, and then we are going to put it on a rat puppet for exactly one scene.”
And it shows. Every frame of this movie, literally every frame of this movie, contains costumes that are not only immaculately period accurate (bearing in mind that the story is not set in Generic Victorian Timey Times, it’s set in 1843 specifically, a time in European fashion that was completely fucking bonkers on several levels), but are also a pitch perfect insight to each individual character, with telling details that contribute to the vibe of each scene even if we don’t consciously pick up on them. We can tell that Miss Piggy is a fashionable lady who doesn’t have much money but is dressed up in her very best, even if we don’t actually know the elaborate tatting technique used to make that lace bonnet that was fashionable maybe 12 years before the events of the story, or that she clearly added a simpler tatted border to that older heirloom shawl to make it match the bonnet better.
And those plates weren’t the only inspiration, I actually recognize a few famous historical pieces, like this 1840s day dress currently in storage at the Met:
Look at it. Look at that fucking feat of engineering. Look at the way the upper sleeves are cut on the bias and the lower sleeves are cut straight, look at the way the pleated collar is gathered at the drop shoulders, and look at how many different ways and in how many places the intricate plaid pattern matches up at the seams, carefully folded and pleated so that the blue underthread matches up in the front panels of the skirt.
This character is in the corner of the screen for less than a minute in total. Smith and Holloway did not have to do this.
Even at a glance you can tell that this plaid pattern was probably less expensive at the time, but it too was cut on the bias, and her bonnet also has very very teeny tiny tatting. This character is also on screen for less than one minute, and she’s also about 4 inches tall.
THEY DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS.
There’s a reason that one of the most frequently done Muppet cosplays ever is Gonzo as Charles Dickens, because that fit still absolutely fucking slaughters to this day:
Just look at this motherfucker! Look at his fur top hat and matching foxtoe shoes! Look at his stockings! Those stockings look accurately hand-knit to me, and they were on screen for a matter of seconds.
Next, let’s all channel our inner Miss Piggy and stare at Kermit’s crotch!
I couldn’t get clear screenshots of it to save my life, so you’ll just have to trust me, but when these characters are moving, you can tell that Kermit’s pants have a fold front fly. Which was popular up until about the early 1830s - which indicates that his clothes are about 15 years old, presumably the last suit he could afford to buy before he started having a bunch of kids.
Nephew Fred, on the other hand, is wearing the newfangled hot look of the season, a button fly front:
Again, you’ll just have to trust me, but it’s there if you know what to look for. Also, a keen eye will notice that Fred’s coat doesn’t fit him quite perfectly, but he and Clara seem to be stable enough that he could afford to get it tailored - which indicates that either he hasn’t had time or hasn’t bothered, or maybe it’s a new coat that Clara has just given him or something.
Let’s look again at Fred’s daytime monstrosity, period accurate down to the embroidered floral waistcoat with the plaid pants, which at the time would have been the absolute height of fashion for any young man to irritate his penny-pinching uncle in:
These methods of making clothes aren’t just old skills that have no modern application anymore, they’re advanced old skills. This is like someone writing a poem in iambic pentameter in a dead language, and only on the sixth reread do you realize it’s also a palindrome. This is insane.
Y'all. It took me until my 937th viewing of this movie, but I took a closer look at Peter’s little jacket:
It’s also a little outdated, like Kermit’s - and this isn’t a great photo of it, but if you look really really really carefully, there’s a line of darker fabric along the shoulders. And only if you really know your shit about sewing, you can spot the clues that this garment has been let out at the seams. Given that he can’t quite close it and the arms are still a little too short, that indicates that the Cratchets bought him a fairly nice coat a couple years ago and have kept letting it out as he grew. And I can’t find any stills to prove it, but I’d be willing to bet there’s evidence that Tiny Tim’s clothes are hand-me-downs from Peter.
THEY DID 👏NOT👏 HAVE👏 TO👏 DO THIS!
And in any other movie I’d assume that they didn’t, that it must be a coincidence or something, but given the level of detail in this movie I absolutely believe that the costume designers took the time to add a tiny clue like this that maybe fifty people on the planet would notice at the time.
And finally, here are the two women responsible for this visual feast I enjoy every year, and every year as my sewing skill grows I can appreciate more and more of their virtuosity and dedication to their craft:
Ann Hollowood!
Polly Smith!
I’ve found out about it mostly through J. Draper’s historicall accuracy analysis of it:
Dark Teyvat
6 of 7 Archons
Okay, very useless yap incoming but this is the coolest and most terrifying thing I have seen in my entire life
The first thing I want to point out is how everyone including aether looks so terrifying, the traveler looks so beat up but paimon... Paimon looks so... Normal? She doesn't have the same lighting even, she's bright... As if that's not ominous at all
Mondstadt: somehow the one I found the least terrifying mainly cuz it only keeps getting worse, but the whole "he sowes discord around tevyat" is sooo fjbdhakwk like especially in consideration to how fontaine and natlan work, how many people were punished by "justice" because of him? How many "wars" do you think he started?
amir khusrow (1253–1325 CE)
This is back on my dash! And listen, I love to see Amir Khusrau getting appreciation, but this translation ignores a lot. The original rhymes! And scans! And does playful things with register! And conveys a tone of affectionate banter between the two speakers, not least because it has them both addressing each other as sakhi (translated above as “girl”) in the last two lines. I think taking some liberties with line order is worth it to preserve more of the rest—and I think there’s a better translation of sakhi. And so:
He only visits once a year, I splurge big on him when he’s here, His kisses make my tastebuds tango. Who, bitch, your man? Nah, bitch, a mango.

just wanted to share the National Down Syndrome Society’s message for this year’s World Down Syndrome Day (21st March) 💛💙
Powerful message that lovingly includes multiple disabilities, united. I love this.
and last but not least her fit slaps too
@stvksn on ig
I hope your god has asked for your mercy. I hope youve refused to forgive him.
i love this more and more every time i see it.
I have so much love for this person. The amount of empathy it takes to have these considerations about a person you will never meet, the eloquence and conviction with which they speak, the contempt for landlords. Sometimes I see something someone writes or creates and I wish with everything in me that I could meet and talk to that person for hours about what caused them to be this kind of light in the universe. This is one of those times.
