Had a fun @mayakern skirt moment this weekend. I was out with the family touring an assisted living place for my mom, and at one point the lady tells us where the snacks are and says we're welcome to help ourselves. I volunteer to go to get snacks for us all, and head over there.

When I come back carrying a cup of coffee, Dad's like 'where are our snacks?'

I put down my coffee, reach into my pockets, and pull a bottle of water, two mini diet cokes, two packages of nutter butters, a granola bar, an apple, and a little bag of cheez-its.

I should've said 'tah-dah!' but the tour lady came back with the brochures just then.

Pockets, man. So important.

Please sign and share this petition if you care about small artists and their businesses! This law is very raw and caused so many people already to shut down their stores. I was planning to open a shop in November too, and until any changes will be implemented, all of my work in the recent year was for nothing.

Copied from the doc by bubblesartcraft:

If these requirements are affecting your small business too, please consider contacting your representatives in the European Parliament. Personal accounts from micro businesses help demonstrate the real world impact of unrealistic EPR requirements.

Please keep messages respectful & explain how the requirements affect your business (for example: annual fees exceeding your sales in a country, mandatory representatives, having to stop EU sales, etc).

I am not going to disagree with someone's headcanon on their own post. Especially not to be like "no that has a boring canon explanation". But here it is, the boring canon explanation.

The reason Jod gave Gideon/Kiriona impenetrable skin etc etc (and maybe also part of why he didn't actually make her Alive again) was to prevent anybody from doing what Gideon was created for in the first place, the thing that they actually end up doing at the end of Nona: using Gideon's blood to open the Tomb. He knows she's a hole in his defenses and he was trying to defuse the bomb.

Playtime Joy lap/baby quilt - for sale, $392 USD

This is 33.5x45 inches, measurements ideal for a crib, good travel size for covering a single person's legs, or for a wheelchair user if the long ends are tucked in around the legs. I imagine it would also be a good gift in general because everyone needs a quilt in their life. I'm totally not biased regarding this.

Quilting was done in a single direction stitch-in-the-ditch for the width of the quilt, keeping it hidden except on the back. I then machine quilted it diagonally, also a single direction, and this time not hidden. The thread is a variegated denim blue that fades to nearly white and then back to blue along the length of the thread.

Added another one to the list (the list of Experiences in Spain) ✅ Water leak in someone else's apartment dripping into mine The sound of water dripping woke me up this morning. After dealing with the immediate issue by moving things out of the way of the dripping water and placing various buckets and bowls, I went and knocked on the door of the apartment above us and got only a strong echo (of the "there's no furniture in this apartment at all" type) in return. I had to go through the whole building knocking on doors to find someone who knew the phone number of the presidente de la comunidad, who was out of town but did have the phone number of the owner of the empty apartment. Who initially did not answer the presidente's calls, but eventually came across town to open the unit and turn the water off. The owner was very apologetic even though this really wasn't in any way his fault. -- Now this is the part where I complain: - it Woke me Up and I had to deal with this while groggy - the leak was in the middle of the little hallway between the bedroom door and the rest of the apartment, so I had to keep walking through that area and getting Dripped On by dirty water that seeped through the ceiling - I had to go up and down the stairs of the building a buncha times and I cannot adequately describe to you how terrible these stairs are. The individual steps are not all the same height, let's start there. - pretty sure at least one person was home but just didn't want to answer the door and talk to me, which is, like, valid in that I don't want to be having this experience of knocking on a stranger's door either but c'mon. comments

what do you mean aceite should mean vinagre. What sorcery is that.

Well, the Latin word for vinegar is acetum, which I learned because the scientific name for vinegar in English is acetic acid (which sounds redundant because acetum is also the root of the word acid...) So Spanish could have ended up with a word similar to aceite for vinegar.

I remember the August morning in 2020 when sunrise looked like this

[leebrontide]

So I volunteer with a local branch of an eco org, and just got out of a meeting to see if we wanna endorse a local candidate, and I was really heartened that this 60 year old white guy from HOA-ruled exburbia, running in that community with a good chance at winning, had his sights firmly set on clean energy, protecting water, and holding back AI data centers.

[leebrontide]

He and his family had also been part of ICE resistance, btw. Which I can not over-emphasize is the norm in much of the extended metro right now. The degree to which every rando you meet probably did at least a little something is very very high.

It’s really reminded us that more people care than you might assume.

[leebrontide]

Did another one. Another exburb that has traditionally been pretty white, pretty NIMBY. We were deciding whether to endorse an un-opposed democrat running out there.

She's one of the thousands of environmental scientists fired by the current regime, with a history in international diplomacy, running on a ecological justice platform. On making sure the environment is protected and the most vulnerable be first protected. She could name those vulnerable populations without mincing words of flinching. She loves landback and mass transit and helping voters vote.

She's going to win this big chunk of midwestexburbia.

And, again, she was key in her area at ICE resistance. This has become next to a prerequisite for running in Minnesota, now.

I want you to think about that.

Resistance to a federal agency as a key prerequisite to holding state office. We keep seeing it. People want to know- people ask- when we and our neighbors were in danger, what did you do about it?

I am gonna keep saying it- the democratic party belongs to the people who show up to steer it. So show up. Not just once every 4 years. Every time. Every chance you get. It's free. It's important. It needs you. Caucus. Vote in local elections. Go to town halls. Hell, run for something! She wasn't in politics 6 months ago and she's gonna win! Grab that steering wheel in your own hands and pull.

[leebrontide]

Think global, work local.

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Something fun about Spanish is that there are certain situations there are two words for the same thing because one word comes from Latin and the other comes from Arabic.

So for example for scorpion we have "escorpión" (latin) and "alacrán" (arabic), for oil we have "aceite" (arabic) and "óleo" (latin) (although in this case aceite is by far the most common, óleo is only used in very specific context, e.g. when you're talking about oil paintings). Similarly for olive we have "oliva" (latin) and "aceituna" (arabic).

[imsobadatnicknames2]

Alternate universe where everything is the same except that the standard term for olive oil in Spanish is not "aceite de oliva" but "óleo de aceituna"

I can just. put my hair up with a clip now. No hair elastic, just a clip. And it just stays.

[homunculus-argument]

Hey idk who needs this but helpful reminder that "virgin blood" in any witchcraft shit that requires that means "virgin" in the same sense as "virgin hair" means hair that hasn't been dyed or processed in any way, natural in the default sense. So no, "virgin blood" doesn't mean blood from a virgin, just blood that hasn't been used for any other kind of witchy shit earlier.

Whether nor not someone has fucked before is completely irrelevant. Any act of fucking doesn't instantly make someone contaminated or un-magic any of their shit. You're just not supposed to re-use blood for blood magic. That's just not. Just do not. Like that's just weird who does that.

[homunculus-argument]

no wait that- no that's not- no.

Unles you've like, poured out ALL OF YOUR BLOOD, used it for a spell, and then somehow SIPHONED THE WHOLE THING BACK IN, that doesn't mean the blood on the inside of you is also used. And even then, if you'd had your sacrifical blood IV'd back into your body-

actually nevermind, I need to draw a graph to illustrate:

I hope this helps.

[wardenaristraith]

The blood inside of you is used. Constantly. It's why there is blood there.

If anything, the blood on the outside is unused.

[homunculus-argument]

damn they ain't lying, it is like talking to a fucking genie with you people.

[just-a-random-citisen]

Question from an uncultured mf ✋ if I use blood from a dead body, would it be staled since it isnt quabulating or would it be just normal unused blood? If it is the former, would it affect the spell in any way

[homunculus-argument]

"Dead man's blood" is a completely different ingredient than fresh blood! And just like "virgin blood" doesn't need to come from a virgin, the age and gender of the deceased is irrelevant to it being dead man's blood. It would affect the spell, the same way if you were baking a chocolate cake, and the recipe asked for a cup of whole milk, and you decided to substitute it with a chunk of cheddar.

[randomideas666]

Then what does Virgin olive oil mean????

[homunculus-argument]

I don't know. Nobody knows. That is some forbidden dark magic best left for the italians, greeks, and whoever else grows and cultivates the trees that bear them.

something i said to a friend today that I think other people might benefit from hearing:

i am so much trying to separate "sometimes standing up for myself will produce an undesired response" from "if i stand up for myself, the undesired response is my fault"

like. no. sometimes people respond shittily and that's on them actually. one of the Communication Skillz™ i'm trying to learn is not to take responsibility for everybody else's feelings and behaviours all the time. i need to take responsibility for MINE and not make those other people's fault, which i haven't always been the best at for assorted reasons and have had to work on, but i need to let other people's responses be... theirs. very often the person to blame for you being treated like shit is the person who treated you like shit

this is especially true when it comes to disability accommodations in the workplace etc. sometimes you will ask for something and you will be denied it and you will be treated badly because of it. that is not because you are an inconvenience who doesn't deserve it and therefore were wrong to ask. it's because they, or the system they're working within and its capabilities, are ableist shitheads. you gotta hold onto that and not let yourself start believing they were right to do that so therefore you should never ask again in case this is the result
