the role of the person in the passenger seat is not only navigator but secretary as well. you have to type up the drivers messages to random ladies on facebook about cbd cream & google whether that billy joel song was the theme song for that show or not

you also have to provide a henchmans disdainful scowl at whoever the driver is flipping off in the target parking lot

other assorted roles may include

  • retrieval team for objects in the backseat
  • custodian of the parking garage tickets
  • "All clear my way"
  • en-route dining concierge
  • announcing "Horses!" when there are horses

We’ll never die

For future confused Tumblr cockroaches, this post is about Facebook and it’s affiliated sites, Instagram and WhatsApp, temporarily crashing on October 4th, 2021.

We all gathered together to celebrate our refusal to fucking die and put a collective middle finger up to Mark Zuckerberg.

Like or reblog to flip Mark Zuckerberg off and receive good vibes :)

Adding to that: after Facebook went down, Twitter went (partially) down trying to compensate for the additional and unexpected traffic.

The hellhole called Tumblr continues to thrive.

Get yourself a fabric store that will light your fabric on fire for you

No but legit I asked what the fiber content of something was and the guy didn’t know so he cut a chunk off and lit it on fire and felt the ashes and was like. Yeah this is mostly cotton with a lil bit of silk. And that was the moment I knew. This is it. This is the fabric store for me. Also that guy is marriage material. Not for me but damn some person is gonna be so happy with him.

Ok but this is actually one of the easiest ways to tell what something is made of! I did a textiles degree and one day as part of a class we all went outside with a pile of scrap fabric and set fire to the little pieces and recorded how they burned. We were given a chart that looked something like this to tell what each fabric was (it gets a little tricky is it's a mix of fabrics though). Why did we do this? There is very little regulation in the textiles industry so a lot of materials are mislabelled as something they aren't and sold for more than they should be, also sometimes people buy fabric second hand or discounted which doesn't have any label at all. If you have a fabric you are having doubts about, cut a tiny piece off and do the burn test and you should know pretty fast what you are dealing with. Anyways your fabric store should be lighting things on fire because this means that they are actually checking what the fabrics are and aren't trying to pass cheap stuff off as more expensive than it is.

Ooh! I knew it was a standard test but I hadn’t seen a chart as detailed as this thank you!

so if you’re looking for something flame-resistant, does that mean linen is the best?  since it takes time to ignite and is easily extinguished?

No. Linen burns like paper once it catches. Wool, otoh, was used to make firefighters’ coats before flame-retardant synthetics were developed. If you need something actually flame-retardant, you’re looking at specialty fabrics.

@lostsometime genuine leather. It’s way more flame retardant than silk or any plant fiber and way more readily available than specially engineered flame-proof materials. When I took a welding class we were required to wear genuine leather safety jackets and gloves.

We were encouraged to wear clothes made of natural plant fibers under the protective gear. If cotton jeans were to catch fire you could use your leather gloves/jacket to quickly slap out/smother the flame before it ate through the fabric to your skin.

On the other hand if you wore polyester pants, that’s essentially wearing plastic and it will melt right into your skin as soon as it catches fire, giving you way worse burns than you’d get otherwise.
