A lot of many things

This blog is a mess... There's some cross stitch, games, books and things I find cute. I'm a classicist with a PhD now but sometimes I still need some time out. English is not my first language, so there will be mistakes.

Finally, I have access to my scanner again, so, resharing these. Especially as one of the original posts was hidden as a potentially mature content and doesn't seem to be able to get out of the Content Label review. ( ఠ ͟ʖ ఠ) And the originals are once again being sold HERE ✨

Late republican history always reads like:

In the consulship of whovius giveus ashittus, a plebeian tribune* proposed a law to stop setting poor people on fire to heat the homes of the senators. This sparked weeks of bloody fighting in the streets at the end of which the tribune was exploded badstyle and the law was unanimously voted down

* it is speculated that the tribune was seeking praetorship which is why the law was presented to the senate

"but the text never explicitly stated it!!!" hey, so that's actually what they tried to teach you in those english classes you barely passed 😁

Step one: use hall bathroom instead of master bathroom, notice that Builder Beige switchplate is horrid with lovely new purple walls. Take it down and wash it thoroughly.

Step two: dig out stash of old seed catalogues saved for this purpose. Get super crabby because you can't find the Mod Podge anywhere. Give up, then have daughter find it immediately, in the "glue box" you forgot you created.

Step three: decide on a color scheme, and start cutting. I asked @phantomtheraccoon if we should coordinate or contrast and she cleverly said both.

Step four: collect your flowers and fiddle with layout.

Step five: paint item with Mod Podge, place your images, and paint them again. Leave to dry, which honestly doesn't take long.

Step six: trim edges add cut out holes. I didn't actually cut out the screw holes; I just cut little X's there for the screws to go through. Worked fine to put it up, we'll see someday how it survives taking it apart again.

Step seven: coat everything with Mod Podge at least one more time, paying special attention to edges. Dry elevated on something (say, the top of the Mod Podge bottle) so it doesn't stick down.

Step eight: okay, wow, that's awesomer than expected!

Ooh, yes, I should decorate my light switch plates here, even if I can't bring myself to do all the painting. I used to have a Lumos/Nox one I made very hastily when I was first renting and it made me happy every time I used it. Light switch plates are such an easy, cheap way to decorate when your space is temporary (they're like a dollar at home improvement stores and very simple to replace with the original when you move out), highly recommend this kind of craft.

[rederiswrites]

Yes to this addition. They're so cheap! Just do something, and then you will enjoy it every time you use it! Do something crappy! You can redo it later. This is such a low-risk/high reward project.

[rederiswrites]

Reblogging because I still enjoy this switchplate every time.

[rederiswrites]

Oh it's wonderful!

[evil-is-relative]

They had us do this in Girl Scouts! It's such a wonderful activity for kids too, and a great way to have them contribute to the house. My mother still has my sister and mine up and in use.

@joy-and-whimsy-official this fits, don’t you agree?

[joy-and-whimsy-official]

Joy and whimsy detected! This arts and crafts is joyful and whimsical!

I can make another mean looking woman with dark eyeshadow. As a treat

[mysweetoddbird]

sorry but once you notice how often ppl use a southern accent as shorthand for being unintelligent you can never unsee it. classism is baked so deeply and why are you acting like anyone who talks the way my grandfather talks is stupid.

I am a 27 year old electrical engineer who works in a little secret lab in the middle of buttfuck Egypt. For one two month period, the office supply order changed from normal erasers to these, and I will not lie - every time I thought I was alone, I would sneak one out of my desk and eat it. They looked delicious. Tasted mid, but the appearance was so stunning that my brain just kept thinking, surely, the rest were a fluke, but THIS TIME it will taste like fruit and sugar.

Anyway, eventually the order stopped, and I was very worried that somehow, they’d found out that I was eating their erasers. So I kind of casually brought it up to my manager that I was sad that they swapped the erasers out, and he was like “yeah, but I kept eating them so they couldn’t stay.”
