Random Lunacy @azurelunatic - Tumblr Blog

Oh my god, I'm having to take some workplace training thing and it shows you a page of text and then there's a Next button, but if you click the next button before 60 seconds have passed, it tells you:

"To better understand the material, please spend more time on this page"

I am a very fast reader with ADHD! This just means I read the page and then spend the next 48 seconds fucking around in another window.

Amusingly the page I'm currently on is about respecting neurodiversity in the workplace.

if you are a parent, or may become one, or you are otherwise likely to arrive in the situation of caring for a child while they eat, promise me this: if a child doesn't like a certain food or food group, you will ask them WHY. and specifically, you will pay attention to either confirming or ruling out "it makes my mouth itch" or "it makes my stomach hurt," both of which are medically important info that children may not provide unprompted. which i know because this PSA has been brought to you by "i spent my entire childhood and much of my early teens eating peas and lentils while wondering why everyone else liked the Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation so much, like were they a bunch of legume masochists or something, before i finally realized that Violently Itchy Mouth Sensation was in fact a sinister demon appearing only to me, and her true demonic name was: Legume Allergy"

If you think about it, the phrase “a bowl of mac and cheese” fits the format for generic YA fantasy titles

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon.

No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.

The parking attendant moved on.

I need to remember that 90% of the people discussing politics on here are basically operating at this level of historical literacy.

i love this reply in particular

The kid next door (talking toddler age) is playing outside and just wiped out in his Fisher Price car, and I just heard the babysitter say, “oh no, your insurance premium is definitely going to go up!” And the kid who had only been mildly sniffling before made the most confused, but startled sound you’ve ever heard.

Just very clearly an attempt at saying, “my what?”

He straight up forgot about his scraped knee and is now worried about whatever the fuck an insurance premium is.

How long did it take them to figure out that it could actually be done? That's staggering.

[Video is titled, "four cellists play Ravel's Bolero." It's on Classic fM. They all play on the same cello, with the drum part is played by plucking strings. Two of them do small comedy fights in the background between their parts, trying to take the other's place beside the cello. It's a pretty tight fit, and at some points there are four bows almost touching as they all saw the strings.

Text on the screen reads,

four cellists play Ravel's Bolero ... on just one cello. Bolero has long been a test of endurance for snare drummers, but here, every part is played by a cellist. With only one instrument in sight, Wiener Cello Ensemble 5 + 1 leap to the task, involving a fair amount of acrobatics! Watch it all unfold ...

Thank you so very much @eloso

Hello Dr Glass, I have exciting news!

I have crocheted a Goose. Specifically, I have crocheted a Giant Goose.

Would you like to see the Giant Goose?

It is a gift for a friends birthday in a couple of weeks and I am ridiculously proud of this goose because it means I have successfully read an entire pattern without needing to try and find a video tutorial.

I cannot emphasise enough just how Giant this Goose is.

🧐

I speak for us all. Show the Goose!!

@fenrir-kin I don’t want to alarm you but the folk are READY

For the Goose of Remarkable Dimensions

fenrir-kin

Oh fuck

Right. Ok. Whoops.

I'll be honest: I was not expecting this to get answered so quickly! Last night I finished the main body of the Goose. And so I sent this, assuming (foolishly, I see this now) that I would have sewn all the bits together by the time this was answered.

I Have Not.

So uh. Give me until tomorrow? It's two wings, two legs, two eyes, a beak and a tail. It shouldn't take long?

My apologies for misleading, so to tide everyone over, here is a progress photo I took when I started working on the head, neck, and body. I promise this is the head and neck. I promise that's what this is.
