perils of being a physics student: just found myself saying, aloud, "that's not what 'geosynchronous' means"
I'm sorry, they didn't tell Fred's parents?!
I'm now at the point in my declutter/cleaning spree where I sit on my bedroom floor and question all my life choices.
i think abt anne rice’s answer to “what are your work habits for a novel?” probably every single day
not inspired by any lm montgomery post, but by a fic in an entirely different fandom:
Would a modern day Anne Shirley swear?
Yes, in a typical twenty something way
Very rarely, but when the occasion called for it or she lost her temper
she would use certain words but not other ones
No, never
me when my friends pick up vocabulary from me and i pick up vocabulary from them

You mentioned that you used flower language to plan the panels on your bee dress – would you mind telling us a bit more about it? I can see, say white clover ("think of me" in the flower language book I know best), but did you have a message in mind overall? I absolutely adore that dress, and I've been playing with the idea of flower language for a knitting project I've been thinking about, so I'm really curious how you approached it!
Hi!!! I would love to talk about it!!! :D
I looked up flower language on Wikipedia and went down alphabetically picking out things that I wanted people to think about me in the dress and things I would like to think about myself!
While I did not use everything I have listed below, this was the general starting point!
I had to pick out meanings and then I divided them into color categories, as I couldn’t visually have two pink flowers next to each other, have two flowers with large leaves and stems, use the same color of green twice, or have flowers of the same texture/petal style near each other. Lots of variables to balance visually.
There were more than a few times where I would start a flower and realize the texture, leaves, or color did not fit with the two hexagons that bordered it, and thus had to rip it out. The final product is something I am very happy with, but I want people to understand that this was very much a trial and error. I changed things constantly and although the result is still very much inline with the initial idea I had, it was not really certain until I finished the flowers on the skirt!
Since you are knitting, I think visually your biggest challenge will be color and shape of your flowers. If I were to approach it, I’d block out the stitching in a spread sheet or grid first to make sure the flowers you have in mind fit well together size wise without sacrificing shape or uniformity!! (Like how big do you need to make a bluebell to look like a bluebell and does that size requirement make your magnolia look silly and vice versa)

The recent hot VS cold polls have made me realise that a lot of people have no idea how to cool down.
As someone from a hot country that's regularly on fire, here's some tips:
WATER IS YOUR FRIEND! WATER! IS! YOUR! FRIEND! You can transfer SO much heat into this bad boy! You cannot cool down without water!
Wrists under the cold tap. Splash your face and the back of your neck. Fan yourself.
In some countries you can buy a little handeld fan with a water sprayer.
Damp tea towel around the neck. Stick an ice pack in there on hotter days.
Half fill a water bottle with water, stick in freezer. If you use a bottle with a straw, make sure it's lying on its side with the straw side up and out of the water. When frozen top up the rest of the way with tap water and off you go.
Desperate to cool off? Wet T-shirt. Sit in front of a fan. This will nuke it, just don't get hypothermia and don't fall asleep like this.
Cold showers are also your friend in summer. Some people get psyched up by these. Personally, I sleep like a baby, so I'm good to have them before bed. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for the cool to circulate, so your body will tell you that you're colder than you actually are. I find that when I have cold showers I need to step out of the spray when I think I'm cold... I'll just wait, and thirty seconds later the temperature has evened out and I actually need to step under again. Rinse and repeat until you maintain coolness even after stepping out for a bit.
If you can't do cold showers, turn the cold shower on anyway and just stick your arms under. When they're cold, lift your arms up above your head. The sensation of cool blood draining into your body is fucking weird and kinda unpleasant but less unpleasant than being hot.
Feet in a tub of water with ice. Blood naturally flows to your extremities when hot, so take advantage of this. If you don't have a tub of ice water, sticking a wet rag on your feet in front of the fan works too, it's the less powerful version of the wet T-shirt.
Drinks lots of water but make sure that water has electrolytes as well. Stay in the shade.
Keep air circulating. Fans don't actually cool rooms down, they just help transfer heat from your body to the moisture on your skin or the air via evaporative cooling.
Block north facing windows early in the morning so the sun doesn't get in. If you're in the northern hemisphere, this is opposite for you. Keep in mind that if your home is brick, the bricks will still heat up and slowly release heat into your home even after the sun goes down so this will only do so much.
If it's hotter inside than outside, close all your windows but two, making sure they're on opposite sides of the house/unit you're in. Point a fan out of one window, making sure that the doors between the rooms with the open windows are all open. This will help create a mini pressure system in your home, pulling cooler air in and pushing the hotter air out via the fan. Bonus points if you can get that fan high up where the hot air rises; even within a single room the top is much hotter than the air by the floor. Adjust the amount of open windows based on how many fans you have, but generally you want more windows with fans open than windows without fans to keep the pressure correct.
Obviously, use your common sense for these. Not everything WILL work for you, just use the stuff that does and adjust what needs to be adjusted. Some of these will be impossible to use in the workplace but others you can still use. Others are best used at home. If humidity impacts your ability to use any of these, get a dehumidifier if that's an option, or use more ice instead of evaporation.
Also keep in mind that the skinnier you are, the faster these will work. More fat means more insulation, means more heat, so you may need to be more patient with some of these or use them in combination.
