hot take but when you shame people for liking and not reblogging art then they're probably just not going to interact with it at all. graciously accept the like and understand that people will reblog what they want, forcing it with guilt tactics will breed resentment and then you won't get likes OR reblogs

Accessibility tip:

If you want to automate your home a bit, but you don't want any "smart" tech, you can just buy remote controlled power sockets instead

  • They are a lot cheaper and easier to set up and use than some home automation smart tech nonsense
  • They don't need an app (but some models come with optional apps and there are apps that are compatible with most of these)
  • Many of them use the 433mhz frequency to communicate, which makes most models compatible with each other, even if they are from different manufacturers
  • The tech has been around for a long time and will be around for a long time to come
  • You don't have to put any fucking corporate listening devices like an amazon echo in your home
  • Models for outdoors exist as well

Cannot express enough my love for these. My entire apartment is on five circuits, controlled by two duplicate remotes. I can turn off the living room lights from my bed, if I forget, without getting up. And no apps needing so nothing to hack or spy on you.

I started using Head and Shoulders ten years ago for itchy scalp and dandruff, and then for ten years I have not had itchy scalp and dandruff, so I thought “why do I still buy shampoo to combat itchy scalp and dandruff when I do not have itchy scalp and dandruff,” so I stopped buying the shampoo for itchy scalp and dandruff and can you guess I have now? Can you predict what currently afflicts me? It’s alright if you can’t because apparently I fuckin couldn’t either

Cutting something out of your life because you think you don’t need it any more only to realize that it was in fact working as intended and preventing a problem that will return should you stop doing this is a good experiment to run periodically with something small like dandruff shampoo, lest you start to think it would be a good idea to do this with like let’s say public health and the social safety net and vaccines

I had a liver transplant when I was 14 and like six months later I was chatting with my surgeon and he said “there’s gonna come a time, probably when you’re a teenager, where you’re gonna think, ‘I feel great, why am I still taking all this medication? I haven’t needed it in years.’ and you’re gonna want to stop taking all this medication. Guess what’s gonna happen then? You’re gonna go into rejection and your liver is gonna start failing, and you’re gonna be dying again, and we’re gonna have to find you another liver. So don’t do that.” And I said “why the fuck would anyone do that?” and he said “people are stupid.”

every once in a while when I get annoyed by a pharmacy or don’t wanna get out of bed to do my drugs I think “ugh, this is dumb, why do I do this?” and that conversation slams into me like a truck and I remember that I am, in fact, stupid

AJSJJDKSJD THE QUILTING SHOW MY GMA WANTS TO GO TO HAS A “FREE TICKET FOR UNDER 30s” IM!!!!! that’s SO funny ?? They wanna encourage young ppl SO much to get into quilting

what i imagine the quilting convention back room looks like

this is happening tmrw im soooo excited!!! my gma is bringing her walking stick for age related reasons but also so she can quote “knock those old ladies OUT of my way”

y’all it was so much fun, there were so many Incredible quilts there, i had an awesome time. here are some photos i took of the quilts, forgive me for how crooked most of them are, i took them v quickly bc my gma was getting tired

i wanna shout out this last one—ITS ALL THREAD PAINTING. THE WHOLE THING. it’s. i should have got a close up of it but it’s all thread painted it’s so so cool

& yet MORE quilts…

i wanna shout out the top picture — the skull quilt was so cool first of all & it’s ALSO the artists FIRST QUILT??? it was so incredibly cool & detailed I rly loved it. i also wanna point out the last quilt here, all of these flowers are applique & i had so much trouble keeping from TOUCHING it (which ur not allowed to do ofc). it was so gorgeous. the close up square above it is from the same quilt. just wow!

ok this might be the last addition—there were Heaps of quilts on display, i wish i could have photographed all of them but i simply didn’t have time. what a wonderful event

ok so a couple notes about these quilts—first of all, the top right is called judy’s legacy (forgive me, it might have been judith but im like 95% sure it was judy) & aside from being rly excellent, the quilt was started by judy & unfortunately she passed while in the process of making it. then her friend/s took it up & finished it & that was a rly touching thing to read.

second, the joan of arc quilt is what got me into quilting in the first place in a big way, seeing it kinda opened my eyes to the possibilities of what u could DO with quilting. so getting to see a version of it in person was very cool!!!

third, the last quilt was my vote for voters choice quilt—the diffusion effect of the coloured squares is just mind blowing to me. remarkable.

thus concludes my tour of quilts I saw today!!
