I donated my Pizza John cross stitch to the P4A and it’s already been claimed!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO!

[nerdofwhimsy]

Here’s what I made for the P4A art perk this year. Sets of 3 notebooks with a worldsuck decreasing theme. projectforawesome.com/donate

I had a lot of fun making these. I have plenty more behind-the-scenes pics if anybody wants them (I do love taking artsy pictures of piles of scraps), but I hit the tumblr picture limit. I’m not going to get to watch a ton of P4A livestream because I’ll be at work, but last year Hank showed off some of the art perks. Send me a screenshot if these show up in this year’s livestream. Let’s all raise and crap-ton of money for charity, yeah?

Humanity is Good - Hank Green Quote Embroidery Hoop available on my etsy

Yellowstone National Park - Grand Prismatic Spring Embroidery available on my etsy!

This is an embroidery of the Grand Prismatic Spring located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, framed in a 5" embroidery hoop. Yellowstone National Park is the United States' first national park, established in 1872. The Grand Prismatic Spring is Yellowstone's largest geothermal hot spring at roughly 300 feet in diameter.

The photo used of the Grand Prismatic Spring in this listing is used solely for demonstration of the embroidery next to a photo of the hot spring. The photo was taken by David Mencin: https://imaggeo.egu.eu/view/527/

Like, 90% of infomercial style products were designed by/for disabled people, but you wouldn’t know that, because there is no viable market for them. THey have to be marketted and sold to abled people just so that any money can be made of off them and so the people who actually need them will have access.

I think snuggies are the one example almost everyone knows. They were invented for wheelchair users (Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a coat on and off of someone in a wheelchair? Cause it’s PRETTY FUCKIN HARD.) But now everyone just acts like they’re some ~quirky, white people thing~ and not A PRODUCT DESIGNED TO MAKE PEOPLES DAY TO DAY LIVES 10000X EASIER.

But if at any point you were to take your head out of your own ass and go “Hey, who would a product like this benefit,” that would be really cool.

This makes informational make so much sense now.

Like… of course there’s no reason for that guy to knock over that bowl of chips. However, the person it was actually designed for has constant hand tremors that would make this pretty rad, but since we don’t want to show that in a commercial, here’s an able bodied guy who can’t remember how gravity works.

Shit. Those commercials suddenly get a lot less funny when you realize it’s pretty much just people ineptly trying to mimic disability.

Or like the thing for the eggs? Like, oh, it cracks eggs perfectly, you only need one hand? IT WAS DESIGNED FOR PEOPLE WHO ONLY HAVE THE USE OF ONE HAND. Or the juice bottle pourer? For people who’re TOO LAZY TO POUR THEIR OWN JUICE? Or FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY BEARING WEIGHT IN THE HANDS.

It’s amazing how with just a few words by a few people, my whole perspective on something can shift entirely. 

[fumblingcuriosities]

I feel so ignorant for never having realized this before.

[lietkynes-deactivated20171226]

This is why I hate when people say ‘Why is this product a thing? This generation has become so lazy!’ Like, no. It’s not about abled people. Just because you think it’s better to do something in a tedious way, because you can, doesn’t mean other people have that luxury. For example, Roombas are great because a lot of us have trouble remembering to take care of ourselves let alone doing menial house cleaning.

Please support Afro-Vegan cookbook rather than Thug Kitchen.  Here’s why: ”Bryant Terry is a chef, educator, and author renowned for his activism to create a healthy, just, and sustainable food system. Bryant’s fourth book, Afro Vegan was published by Ten Speed Press/Random House April 2014. Just 2 months after publication, Afro-Vegan was named by Amazon as one of the best cookbooks of 2014. In December it was nominated for an NAACP Image Award in the Outstanding Literary Work category. If you want a taste of culture-rich, ethnic and truly vegan food, (Thug Kitchen uses honey in some recipes), without the culture appropriation and perpetuation of negative and racist stereotypes about an entire community, consider getting Afro-Vegan.”  ~  Hugo Dominguez

Sharpest View of the Andromeda Galaxy, Ever.

The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured the sharpest and biggest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy — a whopping 69,536 x 22,230 pixels. The enormous image is the biggest Hubble image ever released and shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters embedded in a section of the galaxy’s pancake-shaped disc stretching across over 40,000 light-years.
