The Domesticated Queer

Baz they/them. I have four kids, Ave is 25, Alma is 22, K is 20, and Jag is 18. Foster parent to Raven age 14 and Panda age 2. Intersectional Feminist, INTJ, Chaotic Neutral. Swinging wildly from bohemian homo to cold blooded bitch.

as a child i assumed that martha’s vineyard was a fancy private vineyard owned by martha stewart and the reason rich people vacationed there was because they were friends with martha

I was tagged in Koala’s birthday post. It was made by his new grandma and she spelled his name wrong. Many people in the comments have spelled it wrong as well.

I double check on his parent’s page because who knows, maybe they did alter the spelling in the adoption. But no, his birthday post there has his name spelled correctly.

Friends it is a completely normal name, a classic biblical name that doesn’t even have another spelling aside from the feminine version. You have to actively try to spell it wrong.

So now I’m pissed off.

I'm having a massive gay pool party for my queer friend circle that day and we have been locked in on manifesting his death to happen then.

Why is it 2026 and people are still wearing masks only over your mouth? That isn’t doing a single thing.

So I had my gallbladder removed a few days ago. It was laparoscopic, I'm fine. That robot thing is fucking crazy.

Anyways I overdid it yesterday and am "taking it easy today" so I decided to sit and watch a movie I've wanted to see FOREVER.

Father of the Bride.

For years I've seen clips of grumpy Steve Martin being mad about how much a wedding costs even though its hosted at their house and I always thought he was such a shithead. It's your daughter. Shut up and pay man.

BUT NO. Now I'm fucking pissed. The bride's family is footing the entire bill even though the groom's family is wealthy? Including flying people in from Denmark? The fuck?

The wedding itself is $250 a head for 572 guests. Just for funsies I went and looked up an inflation calculator and do you wanna know what it would cost in today money? $347,117!

ARE YOU SHITTING ME? FOR A BACKYARD WEDDING? No wonder he had a fucking mental breakdown over hotdog buns. I would have had a stroke.

They let the public schools out early because of the heat and possible severe weather today.

The comments on the fb posts are FULL of boomer rage.

Is it just that they suffered and they want children to suffer too? Or is it more sinister than that? I genuinely can’t understand not wanting things to be better and safer. Plus it’s the last fucking week of school, who the fuck cares?

hey! my friends and I are getting together to tie dye a bunch of stuff soon, and I remember seeing you post about tie dying stuff before - do you have any tips or tricks to share?

You’ve come to the right place.

Step 1: Go to dharmatrading.com they have tie dye kits. Do NOT buy that shit from Walmart. You’re better than that. Depending on how many people are tie dying and how much will determine what kit you need. They have curated dye sets so you just get packets and don’t need to buy canisters of dye. You’re looking for “fiber reactive dye”. Pick a color palette! Remember when selecting your palette that the tie dye kits come with pink, yellow, and blue that you can use as is or mix. Make sure you have a squeeze bottle for each color. Some will come in the kit but you can add more on to the order individually.

Step 2: Gather stuff to dye. You need natural fibers, silk, linen, and cotton. Try to get stuff that’s 100% cotton or as close as you can. The more polyester the less color it will hold. Get white hoodies cheap, Gildan works well. If someone has a Cricut you can customize them. Buy white tshirts that say fun shit. Pj pants, white jeans! White sheet sets, kitchen towels, go nuts!

Step 3: Wash everything you plan on dying in warm water with a small amount of detergent. I prefer a powder since it leaves less residue.

Step 4: Gather supplies. You’ll need plastic bags, some kind of rack (cookie drying sheets or your oven rack work well), gloves, paper towels, a tote/bin to put the rack on, and a plastic table cloth (like a plastic party one). Trust me this dye will stain the shit out of your table. If you can do it outside I would. You could do this all in a sink but with multiple people that would be challenging.

Step 5: Mix the dyes as directed. Label the bottles. Don’t make them too far ahead of time. You have about two hours before they start to degrade.

Step 6: Mix some of the soda ash into a bucket with hot water and dissolve by stirring with a metal spoon. Soak your shirts and stuff in them, doesn’t have to be for long but they need to be saturated. Squeeze them out completely back into the bucket.

Step 7: Twist and tie your shit. There’s some great tutorials on YouTube. The classic swirl always looks better than the bullseye so attempt that one, it’s a simple pinch the middle and twist. Place rubber bands and color each section with die. Make sure you’re getting dye to go through to the middle but don’t overdo it or it’ll be a sloppy mess. Too little and the middle of your shirt will be white. Wear gloves, flip and do the back. Keep wiping your hands and the rack with paper towels to prevent dye transfer.

Step 8: Put finished ones in a bag by themselves and let them sit for 24 hours. Then put on new gloves and one by one remove the rubber bands and rinse in cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This part fucking sucks. Once everything is rinsed, wash on cold with the TINIEST BIT of detergent. Like if you did 10 tshirts I would use 1/2 of a teaspoon of detergent. So smol. The only reason you need any at all is to remove any remaining soda ash since it’s a skin irritant. You can dry normally.

Dharma dyes stay vibrant for years and years. It’s hands down the best quality dye I’ve ever used in my life. But just in case you’re not into doing ALL THAT, I’ll give you the ice dye instructions because that’s way faster.

Buy whatever color dyes you like in the canisters.

Buy a small bag of soda ash.

Buy rubber bands literally anywhere.

Buy bags of ice from the gas station.

Soak the shirts in the soda ash water, wring out, twist, and tie.

Put in a small bowl or containers (foil pans from the dollar store are great for this) and cover with ice.

Sprinkle on the dye powder over the ice in whatever pattern fills you with joy.

Wait until the ice melts.

Rinse the same way as above.

Way cooler tie dye. Bah dum tish. 🥁
