tutorial !! on how to make a belt pouch from some old pants that will be able to hold a brick or two without ripping
examples: (both r about 23cm Ć 20cm)
start tutorial ćć
you'll need:
ā¢old pants/shorts
ā¢scissors
ā¢needle and thread/sewing machine
ā¢safety pins/sewing pins
ā¢anything for closing, like buttons, clips or zippers
ā¢stuff for decorating: patches, pins, studs etc.
-
to start we will disassemble our pants, you will harvest from its corpse:
ā¢two rectangles from the ass of the pants with the asspockets (the size of these rectangles decides the size of ur pouch)
ā¢two pieces of the waistband both about 15cm in length
ā¢a piece of fabric as wide as the other two panels, length depends on ur preference, this part will the the closing panel of the pouch
for all of these please take seam allowance into account.
hem the top edges of your back and front panel and all edges of your closing panel. i used double straight stitch on the sewing machine to match the stitching present in the pants.
now you will attach the closing panel to the outside of panel that will be the back of your pouch (see image).
you might be confused that the outside of the panel is the inside of the pants. this is because the pocket on the back panel will be on the inside of the pouch. and thus the outside of the pants become the inside of the pouch. (also you can see that the closing flap looks different from the first picture, this is because i decorated it alr. so just ignore that)
then attach your belt loops, first attach the "front of the beltloop, facing down, to the place where you also joined the closing flap and rectangle together. then fold the beltloop back and sew the other side slightly lower than the top. this will prevent it from bulking too much and pressing uncomfortably into your waist.
now place your front panel on top of your back panel, and sewing it wrong sides together. this is because we will turn it inside out after.
now turn your pouch inside out and sew along the edges to help keep its shape and keep it sturdy.
you can attach a closing to the pouch, like buttons and buttonholes, i went for a clip and loop mechanism this time. if you prefer a zipper i advise putting it in when you hem the edges at the start of the project.
and now you can decorate! if you want a tutorial on how i do/plan all that, lmk if that would be helpful or interesting in any way.
There as once a boy with a heart of glass, a son of Hades himself.
His mother was a cruel, greedy hag, who wished only for Hades riches, her greed cost the boy his heart, for someone so cruel isn't deserving of a child, the boy was born with a heart made of glass.
For weeks Hades mourned, he sobbed and pleaded and begged, for his poor son couldn't survive with a heart so fragile in a world so cruel.
Soon enough Hestia heard the poor gods prayers and set to meet with Hera, the Queen of the gods, she heard the poor gods story and sent him an angel to guard his delicate son.
As the boy grew, raised by his kind and gentle uncle and his strong willed aunt, he began to realize that Thomas, the angel he'd been gifted by Hera, was only visible to Amos himself.
As Amos's 15th birthday arrived, he confronted Thomas.
Why can only I see you? Are you some kind of monster?
Though Thomas tried his best to explain, Amos wouldn't hear it, for he had fallen for Thomas, and Thomas had, however wellmeaningly, broken his heart.
As Amos shouted at Thomas to leave, tears welling in his eyes, a single crack appeared on his fragile heart.
Hades was furious.
How dare Thomas break his poor son's heart?
The very thing he was meant to protect.
When the news traveled to Hera, Thomas was summoned to the court of Guardian Angels; his penelty was death.
Hades quickly realized his mistake.
Thomas hadn't meant to hurt his son, he loved just as Hades did, in a different way.
He begged for Thomas's sentence to be anything else, anything but death. But it was too late, you can't change a sentence that's already given.
But Hera was a kind goddess, a forgiving one, so she allowed Thomas one year.
One year to say goodbye.
One year to prepare Amos to live without him.
But when Thomas went to visit Amos, he realized it was too late. Amos didn't need him anymore.
He had Chase now.
Amos on the other hand only cared for Thomas, using Chase to fill the whole in his heart until his love came back.
Exactly one year later, Amos sat on his roof with a slice of cake and a sad smile God the roof felt so empty without Thomas. Amos closed his eyes, counting to three then blowing out the candles. And just like magic, Thomas appeared next to him, curly hair a mess.
God Amos wanted to kiss him.
"You're here."
Amos whispers, voice barely heard.
"Mhm."
Thomas smiles a bit as his eyes fill with tears, he reaches a hand out and cups Amos chin in his hand. He takes his Amos's hand and presses a kiss to the back of it, intertwining their fingers.
"I had to see you, to say goodbye."
Amos's heart drops.
"W-what? You're leaving again?"
Thomas kisses his head and slowly starts getting up.
"My sentence is getting carried out in an hour."
God Thomas would miss him so much, everything about him, the deep brown eyes, the dark thick curls, his indignant voice shouting about winter making his dark skin much too pale.
"S-sentence? what sentence? Thomas!"
Amos cries, desperately grabbing for his hand as Thomas walks farther away.
Thomas turns one last time, light brown eyes and white curly hair, and freckles. He looked just like last year, he was a tad taller, with more freckles and sunburns on his back and arms. But he was still the same, still Amos's Thomas.
"I broke your heart darl, and I broke my promise. Angels can't do that."
He shook his head, desperately trying to hold himself together.
"So you're punished?!"
Amos shouted, waving his arms around in anger.
"I don't bloody care if you hurt me!"
Amos shouted.
"I love you Thomas. And I won't let them take you."
The words came out in a rush, and Thomas cried even harder, breaking into pieces as he fell to his knees and crumbled to the ground.
"Its too late Amos, I'm sorry."
Thomas whispered as two angels came, tearing him away and disapearing.
Hades broke as he realized what he'd caused, he sent for his guard to bring Amos to the Palace of the Angels to properly send off Thomas.
It took Amos two minutes to fight through the guards and get to Thomas.
He was lying on the ground, alive, but weak, poison coursing through his body and entering his blood stream.
Amos took him in his arms and hugged him tightly, swearing to never leave his side, running his fingers softly through Thomas's hair.
Amos held the gold coin on a chain around his neck to his mouth and prayed.
He kissed the coin and held it in his fist, pleading for the King of the Gods himself to save Amos's love.
As the seconds stretched on, Amos laid his head on Thomas's chest, kneeling beside him and soaking his shirt with tears.
Amos let out a painted gasp as his weakened heart began to crack before shattering completely.
This was the end.
But, the end is not always complete.
For Zeus heard the boy's desperate cries, and he, reminded of his own young son, showed the young lovers a mercy he had never shown before. He gave them each a goblet, filled halfway with juice made from an Apple of the Immortals.

Ofc, if you ask to be added then I will because remember, EVEN IF WE DONT TALK, I STILL LOVE Y'ALL. However, there is a loophole to this. If your nice to me like 2 times I'll probably add you here anyway because I'm a sucker for compliments and shit.)
I love being tagged in stuff and tag games and stuff! If I don't respond to it, its either cause it's in my drafts to be added to my queue (I normally put the tag game in my drafts when I get it, go back when I have a few, do them all, tag some people and then queue it), or in my drafts to find that I haven't got the brainpower to do it. But keep tagging me in them!
I also have a list of people that I copy/paste onto tag games so if you want to be added/removed from the tag game list, then feel free to ask!
I also ADORE asks (when they're not hate, obvs). Send an ask with a question, telling me about your day, random pop quiz, ask games, ANYTHING. I don't bite, promise!

so hereās my potluck recipe(might be a bit bad Iām going off of memory since Iām in school)
Air fried potatoes! good for emergency dinner if you have potatoes, seasoning, and an air fryer.
Ingredients:
Mini potatoes(Could be big but youād have to cut them weirdly)
A medium to large bowl
Olive oil of some variety
Seasoning(vague on purpose)
1. Take mini potatoes and cut them into halves(if you have big ones I recommend discs or sticks)
2. Add cut potatoes to bowl and pour olive oil over
3. Shake the bowl to mix the potatoes around
4. Add seasoning, then shake again, then add more seasoning until happy with results. This is the part where you can personalize it, I use salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic salt.
5. Add to air fryer basket and cook for 18 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit
6. Take them out of the air fryer and serve as either a side dish, or a standalone meal.
I ended up making these one night when my mom wasnāt home and I had to make something for dinner with random things in the pantry, and I think theyāre really good!
I love potatoes!!! Thanks for emergency dinner on 1,067 days left!
genuinely wild to me when I go to someone's house and we watch TV or listen to music or something and there are ads. I haven't seen an ad in my home since 2005. what do you mean you haven't set up multiple layers of digital infrastructure to banish corporate messaging to oblivion before it manifests? listen, this is important. this is the 21st century version of carving sigils on the wall to deny entry to demons or wearing bells to ward off the Unseelie. come on give me your router admin password and I'll show you how to cast a protective spell of Get Thee Tae Fuck, Capital
Okay, here we go! I'm gonna try and put this in order from least to most technical knowledge required. I'm not responsible if you accidentally create SkyNet etc.
Level 1: browser extensions
This one is basically impossible to get wrong, or at least to get wrong badly enough that it causes any problems.
Get Firefox, or a Firefox fork like Waterfox. If you use a fork, make sure it's one that will let you use add-ons. On a PC, pretty much any Firefox fork will take add-ons, but on mobile devices, many don't. Iceraven is one that does.
Get the add-ons uBlock Origin, YouTube Sponsorblock (if you use YouTube), and FBCleaner (if you use Facebook).
uBlock Origin comes with a built-in list of filters to block ads and trackers, but you can add your own filters to block any specific element of a website you don't like. You know those goddamn floating frames on fandom.com sites that block half the screen? Now you can zap 'em.
Sponsorblock uses crowdsourced timestamps to automatically skip sponsor spots and self-promotion in YouTube videos. Never listen to anyone say "hit like and subscribe" or "Raid Shadow Legends" again.
FBCleaner hides all content from your feed except posts from people, groups, and pages you've actually chosen to follow.
Level 2: leaving enshittified services
The software that's become standard over the years in a lot of fields is steadily selling more of your data, showing you more ads, and pushing you to buy more expensive subscriptions. Time to tell them to get fucked.
Dump Adobe apps for Affinity or Krita. Drop Microsoft for LibreOffice. Change your default search engine from Google to DuckDuckGo or Qwant. Use OpenStreetMaps instead of Google or Apple Maps.
Level 3: network-level DNS fuckery
DNS, or Domain Name Service, is the thing that tells your computer where www.website.com is actually located. By hacking your network's DNS you can force it to tell your devices that ad-hosting domains don't exist at all. Some of the steps on this one can get pretty technical, but because you're doing all the difficult stuff on a dedicated device, you can't really fuck up anything that seriously.
Get yourself a Raspberry Pi (a cheap older one like a model 3B will work just fine for this purpose), and follow a guide like this one to get it set up running AdGuard Home. AdGuard, like uBlock, has built-in filter lists, but you can also add your own if there are specific domains you want to block.
Once it's up and running, you'll need to change the DNS settings on your router to point to your AdGuard service. This is different for every router but will always start with logging into the admin panel with a password printed on a little sticker somewhere on the router.
With that done, every time a device on your home network looks for ads.website.com, it'll get back a message that says "sorry, can't find it", so it won't be able to load any ads.
Level 4: Android-specific DNS fuckery
Because AdGuard runs on your home network, it can't block ads on your phone when you're away from home - and what's worse, your phone will sometimes remember the addresses it got when you were out and about, and ads will get past your AdGuard wall even when you're home.
To avoid this, get AdAway for DNS-based ad-blocking directly on your phone. The easy, but less seamless, way of using AdAway is the "local VPN mode", which doesn't require you to do any mucking about with your phone's operating system.
Level 5: automated media piracy
The best way to stop seeing ads on all your streaming services is to stop using streaming services. There are loads of ways to do this, but the best ones involve setting up what's called an "arr stack" (Google that for setup guides) along with nzbget and a usenet account. Most of the time you'll want to set this stuff up on a dedicated device - an old laptop gathering dust in the closet is a great option, or you can grab something used from a charity shop or a local electronics recycler.
The great thing about usenet is that unlike with torrents, you don't have to do any sharing from your computer, so you're in a lot less legal jeopardy - legally speaking, distributing pirated content is waaayyy more serious than accessing it. I pay about Ā£3 a month for a secure, high-bandwidth usenet service.
Once you start getting your own collection of media on your own computer, use the open-source media library manager Jellyfin to browse and play things from basically any device.
Oh, and don't be a dick. Pirate all you want from big corporations, but please pay independent small-time creators for their work.
Level 6: fucking with Android
Android phones are a lot more locked-down than they used to be, but depending on the device you own you can still do a lot of messing around under the hood. Note that if you get something wrong while doing this, there is always the possibility that it will turn your device into a paperweight.
Before you buy a device, check where it sits on the Bootloader Unlock Wall of Shame. Once you've bought it, check the xda-developer forums for guides on how to unlock it and "root" it (gain admin access) with Magisk.
Once Magisk is installed, you can add modules to do all sorts of cool stuff, including using AdAway in "root mode" which makes it basically invisible.
You can also install YouTube ReVanced, which will do all the ad- and sponsor blocking stuff we took care of in your Windows browser a few paragraphs ago. Be careful: there are a lot of fake sites out there pretending they're associated with the ReVanced project which might be injecting malware into their downloads. This Reddit post has the official instructions and links.
Also, try out the modded version of Facebook from APKmoddone, which will block most of the same shit as the FBcleaner add-on from earlier. There's always a possibility that modified apps like this are doing something dodgy, but I've never had any issues with this one personally.
Level 7: fucking with Windows
This one is scary because it can seriously fuck up your shit if something goes wrong, but some really cool people have actually made it very simple to strip all the bloat, ads, and spyware out of Windows. The tool I use is ReviOS. Start reading at https://www.revi.cc/docs. Basically, you'll need to download a tool called AME Wizard and the ReviOS "playbook" that tells AME what to do. Read the documentation before you do any of this.
Level 8: switching to Linux
I'm not going to pretend this is an option for everyone. Half the software I use on a weekly basis isn't available on Linux. But if you can switch? Do it. These days, Ubuntu - one of the most popular flavours of Linux - is built with people switching from Windows in mind, and a lot of things will be pretty intuitive. It also has great documentation and a huge community you can go to for help if you're confused about stuff.
And that, friends, is a comprehensive approach to banishing the demons of capitalism from your home!
I will add that for Linux, there are some programs that can be used to run Windows programs - I believe you can use Proton for video games and Wine for non-video games applications. I've also heard that Mint is generally recommended more highly than Ubuntu these days but I don't know how new-user-friendly it is as my current exposure to Linux is through the Steam version.
Disclaimer: I am very new to Linux and only know the above due to cursory research as I'm looking into divorcing Microsoft for my next PC build (and I want to be able to get custody of Scrivener in the process, which doesn't have a recent Linux version). I'm getting sick of all the ads and AI garbage that's been encroaching more and more since Windows 10. Please look more deeply into whether or not Proton or Wine CAN run the programs you want before proceeding with it, don't take my word for it as I barely know what I'm talking about.
With all due respect, you look so pretty in that i think i just realized i was a lesbian
ajsgdkhdmdh oh my lord thank you so so much omg you I cannot wbdlhxksgdkhd ā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļøā¤ļø screenshotting rhisforever because holy moly I'm actually shaking you don't even know thank you thank you aufhhhghtjhh I adore you
Idk man itās so easy to get bogged down in all the bullshit online but when my then-6 year old cousin found out I was trans he said āokā then corrected my grandma when she misgendered me. I was once the third between a gay man and a lesbian. Two lesbians once invited me back to their place when I presented as a man. I met an AMAB nb butch who looked strikingly to outsiders like a cis man and it was one of the more sapphic experiences Iāve had. I nervously wore a boydyke shirt to pride and got 3 different cis-looking femme folks tell me they loved my shirt. I once told a trans group at a protest that any pronouns were fine for me and one person said āwow, Iām impressed and intimidated by people like that. I donāt know that I could be that chill with pronouns.ā I once told a GNC friend I wished I could wear a type of āoppositeā gender clothing after I had already transitioned and so it would be associated with my AGAB and he said āYou could just do it.ā Iāve had cishet men fight cops for me before. The first time I had a doctor ask me if my name was different than what was on my forms I had to try not to cry. Last week, a phone call with a doctorās office where I am generally cis passing asked unprompted if my name listed is what I want to be called. It touched me then too. I told a lesbian friend once I felt like my attraction to men AND women both felt gay. She said āmakes sense.ā And we moved on. I go by different pronouns in different circles. Iāve had gay women love my facial hair. Iāve had gay men like my tits. Itās all out there, I promise. It can be hard to find it but I promise there is community like you and community who likes you. And itās more messy and beautiful than tumblr discourse makes it out to be.
You can totally use frozen veg. I'm a fan of the Cali blend that's chunky carrots, brocolli, and cauliflower. I also put a layer of frozen dumplings (already cooked) on top for additional protein and dumplings are the best.

OKAY SO. You know how we talk about how one way fast fashion has made itself ānecessaryā is that the clothing looks like shit and feels horrible after just a few washes?
Let. Me. Tell. You. Something.
Laundry stripping is a process where you load your laundry into a tub or bin (Iāve been using my bathtub) with warm water, half a cup of borax, half a cup of washing soda, and half a cup of laundry soap (not detergent, SOAP, thereās a chemical difference). Leave it there for at least eight hours. Iāve been going for 12-24.
What you will come back to is a tub full of nearly-opaque black-gray-brown water that absolutely REEKS. This is normal. You are looking at (and smelling) hard water buildup, body sweat and oils that were embedded in the fabric, dead skin, and just regular grime.
Wring out your clothes. Throw them in the washer. (I like to do a spin-only cycle before going any further, because I have one of those washers that determines by weight how much water any given load needs.) Wash as usual.
You will notice I didnāt suggest any further pretreatment, and thatās because 1) you donāt want to layer too many chemicals on top of each other but also 2) you may not even need it.
When your clothes come out, check each one as it goes into the dryer, and if anything else s still stained, set it aside to run again with a regular pretreatment. One of the sweaters I did this with apparently did need a second treatmentā¦to deal with what appears to have possibly been a hot chocolate stain that was previously invisible due to āwell, itās oldā dinginess. I was planning to throw this sweater out. It looks almost new now. I need to wash it one more time for the probably-a-hot-chocolate stain, and then it needs to have the hem weighted to block it and bring it back to evenness, but dude. I wear my clothes to rags and I thought this thing was unfixable. āI need to reshape itā is nothing.
Remove clothes from dryer when done. Fucking MARVEL at the colors and how good the fabric feels. Give them a smell. Get righteously and royally angry that you can rejuvenate this stuff so easily, with a process that does take awhile but is 90% hands-off, but weāve been trained to believe itās all got to be binned once a year because discoloration and gross fabric is ānormal wear and tearā and canāt be fixed.
Itās utterly unreal! I just pulled a seven-year-old work undershirt out of the dryer and this thing looks NEW!! It FEELS almost new!!! One of the shirts I hung up from the last load is older than some of the people on this site and it went from āI keep this to wear on laundry day, for sentimental reasonsā to āI could actually wear this out of the house, it looks old but respectableā! The pajama bottoms Iām wearing were from Goodwill and they have BRIGHT YELLOW in them! I thought it was goldenrod!!
I do not know how often youāre supposed to do this (doing it every time can strip the dye out of your clothes, not to mention itās way too much work to do every time), but once or twice per season seems respectable. I donāt wear white, so I canāt test the āit will make whites look almost-new as wellā claim, but Iāve seen a lot of people on the cleaning subreddit attest that it works.
Just remember: WASHING soda. Not baking soda. I tried baking soda and a little bit happened, but not a lot.
Go forth. Rejuvenate your clothing. Strip your laundry.
