Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.

[winjennster]

Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.

I like to imagine that the Winter Soldier would have been programmed with basically every language that he would need for missions, and, for the sake of versimillitude, his handlers would make sure that he had the appropriate accent/diction and backstory to flawlessly pass as a native of a decently sized city in the country he was working in. So he speaks French like he’s from Toulouse, German like he’s from Cologne etc., allowing him to seamlessly blend in with the locals when he’s out raining destruction across Europe.

Unfortunately, the Red Room – not being known for its commitment to multiculturalism – didn’t think this system through very carefully when it came time to send the Winter Soldier off to do his first ever long mission for their comrades in China. They just program him to speak Mandarin like a statistically unremarkable proletarian from Zhangjiakou and send him on his merry way.

So he arrives in China with his Soviet handler and the following circumstances align to make the entire mission, from the perspective of the Red Room, a disaster from start to finish.

1. It’s 1971, and China is not open to the outside world. Most of the men on the Soldier’s strike team have never met a foreigner in their lives.

2. Those who have met a foreigner have never met one who speaks completely fluent Mandarin with a paint-peeling Hebei accent.

3. This is ENORMOUSLY INTERESTING AND ENTERTAINING to everyone he encounters.

4. Instead of being unremarkable and blending in with the locals he gets mobbed by curious spectators everywhere he goes. His strike team, despite being a little scared of him at first, are so excited to talk to a foreigner who they can actually communicate with that they constantly come up with excuses to hang out and chat.

5. China’s relative lack of development in the early seventies means that there aren’t the facilities to wipe him or put him in the freezer, so the main weapons that Handler Dima has at his disposal to keep the Soldier in line are 1. it’ll be hard for him to run away because he tends to attract crowds, and 2. He sometimes looks very ashamed of himself if you give him a sternly worded talking-to.

6. The Soldier is having the time of his life. Look at me, look at all of my friends, I have so many friends, EVERYONE LIKES ME.

The Winter Soldier, doing shots of baijiu and toasting to the health of Chairman Mao. The Winter Soldier, chain smoking and eating millions of sunflower seeds while playing Fight the Landlord with his new pals on a cross-country sleeper train. The Winter Soldier, doing morning tai chi and calisthenics along with his team. The Winter Soldier, preening every time someone tells him that he looks like a movie star (his handler says “They’re just saying that because they only ever see Europeans in films,” to which the Soldier replies, “But Dima, why don’t they say that you look like a movie star?”). The Winter Soldier, showboating shamelessly for his strike team, who have started calling him Lao Da and looking to him for orders while ignoring Handler Dima, who can’t speak Chinese and definitely can’t shoot two people at the same time while doing a backflip. The Winter Soldier, making elaborate Chinese puns and teaching his guys useful English phrases that he can’t remember learning (Did you come here alone, doll?). The Winter Soldier, harassing his buddies until they show him pictures of their wives and kids and then sincerely complimenting them on their beautiful families. The Winter Soldier, suspecting that he has experienced this kind of camaraderie before but unable to remember when and how.  

His next mission, in Vietnam, is the first time that they muzzle him.

$300 Underground Greenhouse Grows Food Year Round; An Extraordinary Walipini 

From vertical farms to solar-powered “farms from a box,” we’ve seen how farming technology has grown leaps and bounds in recent years. But for those who prefer something a little more rustic, growing food from a hole in the ground is as low-tech as you can get.

A walipini, meaning “place of warmth” from the Amaraya Indian language, is an underground greenhouse with a transparent (usually plastic) covering that stays warm by passively soaking up the sun’s heat and absorbing the earth’s thermal energy.

Fruits and vegetables can be grown year-round, making it ideal for communities in colder locations that can’t usually grow their own fresh and local produce during certain parts of the year.

The farming method isn’t exactly new. Walipinis have been used in South and Central America for decades, including one that can grow bananas at 14,000 feet in the Andes.

The technique was notably adopted by The Benson Institute, a worldwide food security program of the Mormon church. According to The Plaid Zebra, the Benson Institute and its team of volunteers built a community-sized 74-feet-by-20-feet walipini in La Paz, Bolivia for around a mere $300.

Haunted Home DIY

Hey Fab Bats! You screamed for it, so here it is. The tall tower my mad scientist dad and I live in is freezing over this time of year (He can make an artificially intelligent breakfast machine, but not a functional heater. Go figure…). I’ve been mostly busy sewing patches burritoed in a blanket by the oven. But, it’s time to get up and re-deco. The pipes need some distressing and spiderwebs are clearly lacking. Don’t dust that mantle! Let’s try a couple of these up-the-sleeve tricks for a cursed condo…

Living and Dining Spaces:

Yarn Wall Spiderweb - for when you already have too many bats on the wall.

Bats on the Wall - release them.

Decorating with Black, 13 Ways to Use Dark Colors in Your Home - excellent ways to balance lighting! Considering black highlights rather than a full black wall helps to illuminate space.

Decorative Halloween Candles - “Halloween”. Ahem.

Dining Chair Revamp - basically make a regular chair black and velvety, much like my wardrobe.

Industrial Table - yes, but is it first wave?

Industrial Pipe Curtain Rods 

DIY Lace Privacy Window Covering - Michael Myers standing on the other side can’t see you through this pretty lace.

Skull String Art - can be used with various other shapes. I saw one with Batman once!

Re-upholster a Chair - simple, useful tutorial.

Bedroom: 

How to Build a Coffin - who needs that medical degree? This is all you need to know.

Silhouettes - how to make those Victorian-like shadows in fancy frames every Goth in the world is so wild about.

IKEA Gothic Dog Bed - someone stamp the author’s card.

Venice Vase Lampshade - use leftover lace or sheer cloth. Try with fishnets too.

Pop Gothic Nightstand - Monster High-ish nightstand.

Hanging Copper Pipe Clothes Rack

IKEA Chest - a simple drawer transformed into a treasure chest. The blue could be swapped with any other color. Alternately, use would stain or paint and distress the surface.

Antique Frame Jewelry Holder - classic rococo frame + lace. Here is another version.

Lace Painted Furniture - perfect for an armoire. White lace can even be swapped for black.

Office:

Simple and Cheap Bookcase Makeover - add a pattern to a plain bookcase.

Oversized Vintage Map - you’re going to conquer the world but can you even situate Uzbekistan?

Baroque Pinboard - I would have nixed the spray paint and left the frame as-is, but this is still a useful concept.

Office Chair Tutorial - imagine this with spoopy Halloween fabric!

Kitchen:

Dollar Store DIY Skeleton Dish - what a concept.

Black Refrigerator Cabinet - revamp (GET IT) your fridge for only 22$.

Copper Pipe Pot Rack - organise your kitchen gear in a most steampunk fashion. I say!

Bathroom:

Antiqued Distressed Mirror - easy aging tutorial. Gives a little haunted look to bathrooms.

Cheap Apothecary Jars 

Lights and Appliances:

Ugly Appliances Makeover to Suit Your Space - the possibilities here are endless *lightning strikes*. Go get yourself some decals or make your own out of sticker paper asap!

Lace Cloth Light Switch Plate - seems like a frivolous detail, but think: it adds to the vibe. The vibe.

Steampunk Light Switch Plate 

Plumbing Pipe Light Fixture - aesthetic aside, this looks like it would light a room pretty efficiently.

Industrial Pipe Floor Lamp - equally well distributed lighting. Necessary for your spooky selfies.

Brass Chandelier Makeover - easy to make with pearls. These can even be swapped with chains.

Inexpensive Gothic Chandelier - another simple and inexpensive makeover.

Outdoors:

How to Build a Medieval Doorway - another effective way to scare off solicitors.

Coffin Cooler - store your absinthe cocktails (or type O negative ice pops) in this cooler.
