Now I don’t mean to burst y’all’s bubbles but just so y’all know, this blog is nothing more than a personal archive for myself where I put and reblog posts of interest!
Now, this was the first blog that I made so it’s still the one defaulted to when I need to send an ask, reply, follow, and like, which is probably what has some people confused, I’m sorry!
Real blog is @lemonbaloni !!! Please redirect all follows, queries, and love there!
v Links for my own reference v
Sorry to break the gimmick but wow... This most recent update is very bad!
If you at all dislike this change please consider sending tumblr feedback here! Even just one support ticket can help make a difference!
As well, if you are on mobile and your app has not updated yet, you can always turn app updates off! If you do not know how you can google it or DM me for information.
now that we are all forcibly assigned teen by discord age regression style and everyone has cancelled their nitro. everyone whose been using a solo discord server as your paste bin and project planning folder to hold stuff you can get from your phone and pc both its about time you start saving shit and hop on obsidian. with syncthing you can get it realtime synced between your mobile and pc and any devices for free too. don't pay for monthly fees.
no you dont. thats what using obsidian with syncthing is for. theres many other ways to set up free multi device syncing with obsidian. syncthing is just what i use
syncthing can be used for fucking anything, im serious if you have a home computer/laptop/steamdeck/phone any kind of multidevice infrastructure, fucking set up synththing, i use it to keep my emulator saves synced between my phone, steamdeck, and pc. when I add books to my calibre library they auto download to my ereader and tablet (You have to have android ones like onyxboox for this), my music collection can be accessed and edited from any of my devices anywhere using a simple home server and syncthing to keep the files up to date between my phone, laptop and server, I can add songs from my phone or computer and they'll auto fill the server. Syncthing can unironically replace so many payed services it's crazy, want to sync your writing without google drive or any paid service? just use libreoffice and syncthing, want to be able to keep drawing between your pc wacom and your tablet? pick a program that supports both and syncthing the project files, Want cloud saves between a steamdeck and pc for non steam games? you'll never guess what syncthing can do.
For anyone who wants an easy copy-paste into their favourite recipe keeper:
Pumpkin Pudding Pie w/Orange Zest and Cardamom Whipped Cream
(makes ~3 pies)
Ingredients:
Pie:
2 ½ cups sugar
15oz can pumpkin puree
2 eggs
½ tsp baking soda
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp vanilla
pinch of salt
2½ cups milk
4 TBSP butter (melted)
1 orange
1 tsp powdered sugar
Whipped Cream:
1 cup heavy cream
2 TBSP powdered sugar
1 tsp cardamom
pinch nutmeg
-----------
Instructions:
Pie:
Preheat the oven to 325°F
Prepare the pie crust (that's another recipe's job- either find a scratch recipe or buy a pre-made dough or graham cracker crust)
Blend 2½ cups sugar, pumpkin puree, eggs, and baking soda in a large mixing bowl (if using a mixer, blend with a paddle attachment)
Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt; blend until well mixed
Add the milk and melted butter, whisk until well mixed (if using a mixer, blend with the whisk attachment)
Pour your batter into the crust, filling right up to the edge (the mix will be more liquid than solid, but it will rise/solidify in the oven)
Bake at 325°F for 55 minutes
Remove from the oven and let it cool
Top with sifted powdered sugar
Zest an orange over the top of the pie (microplane if possible but regular zester is fine; have found that the most aesthetically pleasing version is to peel the orange and then finely dice the peel but that's a hassle!)
Whipped cream:
Put your metal mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer for at least 15 minutes
Whisk powdered sugar, cardamom, and nutmeg together in bowl
Add heavy cream; whisk until stiff peaks start forming
Serve on a cooled pie :)

That’s Louis Rossman, a repair technician and YouTuber, who went viral recently for railing against Apple. Apple purposely charges a lot for repairs and you either have to pay up or buy a new device. That’s because Apple withholds necessary tools and information from outside repair shops. And to think, we were just so close to change.
Follow @the-future-now
Reblog if you:
Have an iPhone and are in need of repairs
Have a friend with that problem
Hate Apple and are more than happy to spite them in some way
No one will know which is it
This guy inspired me to repair my own macbook. First of all, you should know that I am not… like, I have to look up HOW to look up what my computer specifications are. Tech, that ware either soft or hard, is not a subject in which I experience comfort or competence. But my puppy peed on my keyboard, and I asked the apple store, or the fucking mac cafe, or the godsdamn Computer House Chill Zone or whatever cute ass name they have for their bullshit store, and they said it would be TWELVE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO REPLACE MY KEYBOARD. I’m not even exaggerating.
So I asked the internet, well how hard IS it to repair? And I saw this guy’s video, and while I am no techie, I AM fueled by spite, so I was all “oh, they do that shit on purpose specifically so they can charge me $1200 bucks or make me buy a new computer hunh? FUCK THEM” and I bought all the tools I needed for about $25 and I bought all the parts I needed for about another $25 and I watched a few tutorial videos, and I replaced my own keyboard.
So, once you are doing the actual deed, it becomes pretty obvious that they are finding creative ways to make this much harder than it has to be on purpose. On thing that stood out to me is, instead of all the tiny screws being the same size, there are about two dozen very slightly different sizes. They could easily be all the same size, or like, two sizes at most, but no.
These mother fuckers will take a panel that screws into place and they’ll use a different size screw for each corner. They are so close that you almost cannot tell them apart visually, but they each will only screw into the matching corner. Like, it’s a pretty clear “fuck you” to anyone trying to do repairs.
anyway, this guy is also fueled by spite, and doing holy work, and I have mad respect
This is awesome. Man is doing good ass deeds 24/7 because he’s giving people control.
How dare you not leave a link to his channel, this guy is the savior of the modern world.

neocities is a free hosting website that lets you build your own html website from scratch, with total creative control. in their own words: "we are tired of living in an online world where people are isolated from each other on boring, generic social networks that don't let us truly express ourselves. it's time we took back our personalities from these sterilized, lifeless, monetized, data mined, monitored addiction machines and let our creativity flourish again."
why should I make my own website?
web3 has been overtaken by capitalism & conformity. websites that once were meant to be fun online social spaces now exist solely to steal your data and sell you things. it sucks!! building a personal site is a great way to express yourself and take control of your online experience.

Family Favorite! I made these one night and they were gone in seconds. I suggest doubling the recipe because they won’t last long!
oH MY OGD
Holy FUCKING sHIt ashlie…..
I’m making these….
oh my fuck
As tiring as all this shit is, I can't in good faith continue to use spotify.
For anyone else jumping ship, I used to exportify.app to save my favorite playlists.
Your phone has gigabytes of space on it. Plenty of room to store a few thousand mp3 files. And excellent players are free.
For Android, I prefer Pulsar.
For those wanting to move their playlists to another service, SongShift is a great app for that.
And in case anyone needed another reason: Spotify uses AI almost exclusively now which is why your Wrapped sucked in 2024, and your playlist suggestions have weird nonsensical names.
I'd also recommend checking out Bandcamp. Your favorite artists tend to release albums on there and the digital versions [the mp3s] are usually cheap and affordable. And the money goes directly to the artist.
If you still prefer music streaming or want to use it for now before you switch to mp3s, I highly recommend Deezer!! It has its own built-in song importer for Spotify, has music quizzes for you and your friends, supports the artists much more financially, and has an actually functional shuffle mechanic unlike Spotify.

As a Dungeon Master I nearly scrolled past this before my brain kicked my own ass and reminded me that I have tried looking up 'Blue Gemstones' at LEAST a dozen times in the last six months and never found anything this helpful.
Do any of u have decent recipes that are like 5 ingredients (not including spices) and take 45 mins or less to prepare i gotta stop eating sandwiches for dinner
yeah hang on
ignore the title of this google doc because it's a long story but it's a really solid recipe for southwest chicken alfredo
this is a vegetarian potato curry recipe that's about 75% spices; once you get the potatoes in there you can really do whatever you want with it
this is literally just pasta, broccoli, and cheese babey and you can live off that shit for DAYS it makes such a big portion
bro this spinach/pesto/3 cheese flatbread is so fucking tasty bro
also you can make the flatbread yourself it's super quick!!
oh hey I'm eating this white chickpea chili right now, much like the curry it's mostly spices and you can do p much do whatever you want with it
don't let the name fool you these potatoes are delicious any time. not just breakfast.
this is slightly more than five ingredient when you add them together but if you have time and really wanna fuckin treat yourself I recommend these chicken strips + this cornbread + either these potatoes or these buttered veggies on the side.
These are my two favorite comfort foods. They're very easy to make and dont take long to cook.
Garlic butter rice
Orzo mac and cheese (comes out a little bit soupy)
this recipe for gogumabap (sweet potato and rice) saved my life when i couldn't eat hardly anything for a long time. the recipe itself calls for a heavy bottomed pot but you can absolutely use a rice cooker and put the rice and diced sweet potato in together and just let the machine do its thing

Hey someone suggested I use ChatGPT to figure out adulting today, and as I was going through the mental list of places I'd rather look, I realized "beloved strangers on Tumblr dot net" was on that list.
So if you have an aspect of adulting that you're really good at-taxes, budgeting, cooking, insurance, credit, time management, house upkeep, anything-please feel free to reblog with any tips.
Not me, but @bitchesgetriches has a lot of great resources for many of these topics on their website.
