did it all make sense in the end? @etherylelixyr - Tumblr Blog

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real: Nature.com

I'm a bit frightened for the time when someone less ethical than the person that did this decides to repeat the experiment but leave out the part where they come in later and announce that it was fake and people wind up diagnosed with the fake condition and all kinds of wacky hi jinks ensues.

Blood test results are back. 0’s across the board, dry as a bone under the hood, they’re not sure what they’ve got in those vials but it recoils from light and lunges towards living tissue, which is all normal for girls these days.

it's important to yell "fuck you kill yourself" at the tv advertisements to counteract the mind control

people vaguely saying 'the horrors' as shorthand for 'life problems, don't worry about it' in conversations where the problems are not going to be delved into has got to be one of my favorite new Ways Of Speaking that has emerged. like it's polite and vague and succinct enough for impersonal conversation but also extremely honest. it's very funny. The Horrors. we all know of them.

“heres how to make a pair of pants for yourself”

step 1: have a entire room completely set up just for tailoring

it needs an iron, masking tape, a pencil, and see-through paper. you don't need the pins if you're careful about keeping it lined up. you could do that on your floor and hand-sew it after that if you wanted to. the most specialised piece of equipment they used in the video, apart from the sewing machine, was a clear ruler.

Yeah that's a silly complaint, tons of people cut fabric on their kitchen tables or on the floor. I've been sewing since 2011 and didn't have an actual sewing room until the start of 2024. It was frustratingly cramped sewing in my bedroom, but I still sewed lots of things in there.

Most of my fabric is secondhand, and I've gotten a lot of sewing supplies from thrift stores and estate sales. I know not everyone lives somewhere that has those things, but there are still budget options to look into. There are a lot of things that are nice to have but not strictly necessary.

Frieda Leopold did an experiment earlier this year where she bought the minimum sewing supplies necessary for a dress, and kept to a budget of 150 euros for all the tools including the sewing machine.

And this Morning Mercury video about trying to learn weaving without spending any money also feels relevant.

hazariel atelier also has a video about making patterns from clothes you already have

one of the items was made from a second hand bedsheet, so you could do this without even spending much on fabric

Yes, I love thrifted cotton bedsheets! Best fabric ever for nightgowns and pyjama bottoms.

Also I just found the full length video that was mentioned at the end of the tiktok. I haven't watched it yet because it's late and I should go to bed, but there are a lot of comments saying it's clear and easy to understand.
