This used to be called “Auto Shop” and “Home Economics,” subjects which were included in nearly every high school curriculum up until the 1980s. Auto maintenance, budget management, sewing skills, cooking, and other basic Adulting skills were actually taught in classroom settings. But suddenly all that money got funneled away to sports and graduation requirements shifted toward standardized tests because those were somehow more? important? than life skills? and the home ec and shop classes were no longer taught, even as electives. We’ve been steadily losing arts classes for similar reasons.

And so students leave school with a thorough grounding in football and calculus, but having no idea how to sew on a button or change a tire. 

Petition to bring back these classes in every single middle and high school in the country.

Like most things that went wrong in the 80s, this is due to Reagan. He signed the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act into law which allowed “Job Creators” to control our educational system.

If it can’t help the Boug make a buck from you, it no longer gets taught.

My ideal gender presentation is masculinity but doing it wrong because I'm also doing femininity but doing it wrong. Yknow

“Is it normal?” The binding edition

Yes:

Getting winded after walking quickly/upstairs with binder on, but able to catch breath

Chafing in the underarm areas (You may want to get a larger binder size so it doesn’t chafe, but in the meantime try lotion or baby powder and see which helps more)

Soreness (during or after) in arms, shoulders, or back

Increased acne on chest or back (You may want to wash your binder more frequently, shower after wearing it, and get an over the counter acne cream.)

Mild anxiety about tightness

Chest sagging

No, take it off and rest, see a doctor if problem gets worse or doesn’t go away after taking the binder off (or after one week):

Nausea during or after binding, including nausea caused by pain

Bruising

Out of breath/can’t catch breath when not wearing binder

Skin rash (other than heat rash)

Sharp pains in ribs

Not able to cough or sneeze

Numbness in arms

Feeling too tired/sore to do everyday activities

Suddenly having any of the above symptoms even if you’ve been binding for years 

No, see a doctor ASAP, could be a sign of serious injury:

Anything from the above category if you can just tell/feel something is wrong, better safe than sorry

Extreme claustrophobia/panic attacks 

Sharp pain in chest/heart skipping beats or beating very fast

Not able to breathe  

Dizziness

Blueness in lips or fingertips

Change in shape of ribcage

Fainting

Witch and Wizard Hat Sewing Patterns

Choly Knight on Etsy

See our #Etsy or #DIY tags

[kitrona]

I can definitely recommend Choly Knight patterns. They’re easy to follow and everything is explained, but not in a way that implies you’re stupid for not knowing it. And they turn out really cute even if you don’t get everything exactly right.

Everytime you fill in CAPTCHA you’re helping to digitalize old books and documents. Using CAPTCHA abt 250 books are added to a digital database everyday

[desinteresse]

Its called RECAPTCHA! The creator of CAPTCHA (Luis von Ahn) realised a lot of time was being wasted with CAPTCHA (worldwide we spend about 500,000 hours doing CAPTCHA every day)

So he wanted to put it to good use

The reason why CAPTCHA uses wonky letters is because computers can’t read them, but we can!

But when trying to automatically digitalise old books and documents this becomes a hindrance because computers often cant read the faded old letters. So the digitalising is done by humans (very costly and time consuming)

Anyway Ahn found out about these a integraded into captcha creating RECAPTCHA.

Everyday about 150 (sorry i meant 150 not 250) old books get digitalized this way. They are currently using it to digitalize the whole archive of The New York Times (since 1851)

So we’re all kinda building a digital library of alexandria this way by using captcha, noice

https://techcrunch.com/2007/09/16/recaptcha-using-captchas-to-digitize-books/

reCAPTCHA Founded 2007. Overview reCAPTCHA is a free CAPTCHA service that helps to digitize books, newspapers and old time radio shows. reCAPTCHA improves the process of digitizing books by sending words that cannot be read by computers to the Web in the form of CAPTCHAs for humans to decipher.

In case any of you thought this was BS

[kaeebonrai-deactivated20230915]

I always love seeing reCAPTCHA being used.

[hashtag-med-school]

That’s what my dad told me too.

So when we fill out those wonky letters, we are basically helping the computer read weird handwriting.

I love the way they broke this line up, because of COURSE Spock is most morally outraged by the violation of truth (logic logic logic), and of COURSE Bones is most morally outraged by harm done to innocent beings (first, do no harm), but they are equally outraged by the concept (as much as Spock would admit to being outraged by anything). 

It’s basically a one-line Spock and Bones character study.

And then Kirk immediately takes in the balance of the philosophical discussion and pinpoints the solution to the problem and how to take action to solve it.

That’s it folks, that’s the show
