Holy fuck

This works best if you keep windows closed.

Another design is using 2 20x25x1 filters, taping them to the sides of the box fan and then to each other so they sort of make a triangle, then cutting cardboard to make a top and bottom to the triangle.

This was discovered as a more effective design during the 2020 US west coast fires.

A better more efficient and odor eliminating homemade air purifier than just taping a 20x20x1 filter to a box fan. Sometimes you need to

If you live on the west coast of the United States, fire season is coming and this is vital.

We’ve been using one, and they’re great. Might try to make the double filter version this year.

theyve been doing a bunch of studies on this during the pandemic and this design is best! 4 filters and a shroud to optimize flow rate.

I’ve personally used both the flat single-filter version AND the triangular two-filter version, and based on subjective personal experience I would argue that the benefits from the second filter, both in terms of airflow and filtration, are absolutely worth it. If you need a makeshift air filter and you have two filters to work with, build the triangle (if not the box, i have no idea how good that one works but based on the info here i presume it’s a fair bit better.)

This trick works. We use it in my house.

thinking about the morality and ethics of (typically young and male) people who gain notoriety in a predominantly male industry and also what it means to be a “bad person” in today’s society.

also thinking about growth as humans and teaching moments and things of that nature. hm…

#your thoughts… tell me more?

Every work of art says things the creator hasn’t considered, but if you’ve really thought about what you’re trying to say then generally the additional dimensions you didn’t know it had are in alignment with your purpose, whereas if you think you’re making no cultural comment at all you are actually making a LOT of cultural comments, most of which will be unflattering to you

Porn is one of the most culturally rich types of media imaginable so the answer is: you cannot do this

rockshitty

“I don’t want to make anything with cultural dimensions. That’s why I only write within the genre that is legally sequestered away from every other kind of storytelling because of my culture’s attitude towards depictions of sex.”

genderkoolaid

you can write porn for no other reason than Horny. you can read or watch porn for no other reason than Horny. but none of that will stop your porn from containing cultural commentary. just because you don't want to engage with the work on that level in that moment doesn't mean that level to the work doesn't exist.

#lots of good thoughts in the reblogs of this #there is no form of communication devoid of culture and meaning and politics #you can’t speak to someone in a vacuum. you need sir to carry the soundwaves from your mouth to their ears #politics and culture are the air through which we write stories. stories can not exist without them

selkeie

i dunno guys i'm personally still not with it on the mpreg jokes. men can get pregnant, it isn't for comedy relief, let's move on

selkeie

like listen. i get that the societal expectation for people perceived as women to carry children is hot garbage and we want to retaliate against that. but could we consider that the answer isn't being violently weird about people who want to carry children, regardless of their gender. maybe even stop talking about pregnancy like it's some kind of punishment you have to protect women from and 'joke' about putting on men. that's an option

#ive quite literally been saying this #and for all the people who responded to me saying this with ‘i’m transmasc and i dont have a problem with the joke’#great. that’s good.#you can 100% think certain jokes are funny to you and within your friendgroup #but im begging you to understand that all the people echoing that joke arent doing it out of solidarity and respect #you are being mocked and your existence is being treated as a punchline #ppl saying dont joke about men being pregnant arent addressing you and your queer friends #they’re adressing the 16 yo ‘woke’ cis straight gamer bro who thinks the height of comedy is reacting to every post w 🫃🏻

BOOK COVER REDRAW of one of the most insane and gutwretching books ever written. (Art without text and full process on my insta!)

It was my first time designing a book cover and I have to say the process was painful. I started with a strong idea in mind: I wanted to portray Harrow at the exact moment she got her memories back. It had to be spectacular, dramatic, atrocious. There had to be skeletons, lots of skeletons, the castle of her House, and of course, Gideon's sword. Then came the hard part, colors. I changed the colors I think 4 times, just couldn't get them right, but in the end can say I'm quite happy with the result. During the whole process I kept looking at the original cover from @studiotommy.co (insta) trying to grasp even a small fragment of his tenique (ps. Posting this 2 days before a big tit announcement wasn't in my plans👀)

I hope I've done this book justice, because at the end, that's what it's all about.

Ty @noblenico for sharing the We Do Bones font, it really made the difference!
