I need another hobby like I need to get my skull bashed in. And yet.

#I've fallen down a beaded embroidery rabbit hole #and like I already have the beads and the embroidery floss #so the only *new* tools are the specific hook and a bead spinner #and I already know how to make a chain stitch from crochet #so in the scheme of ADHD hyperfixation impulse purchases this is basically a free fascination in terms of both time and money #and maybe it'll help me use some of my stashed supplies #that would be really nice because I am running out of space for this stuff #but there are so many other things I need to be spending my time and efforts on #Oh well #it's fun and it keeps me from doomscrolling so I'll call it a win #life #personal #crafting

Basically 14 hours left before I leave and oh man I am nowhere near ready

#couldn't take PTO today either because I just don't have enough hours #so I get to somehow try to work and pack and finish cleaning at the same time #I was up all night getting laundry done so that it won't sit while I'm gone #because the neighbors all decided to do laundry yesterday too #so the machines were occupied until like 10 pm #am I going to get all of it put away? Nobody knows #I also have a doctor's appointment in 2 hours to get my thyroid medication refilled before I go #and I have to return a bunch of shoes and jewelry to Amazon that didn't end up working for any of my wedding outfits #my carry-on is fully stuffed just with the wedding clothes so I definitely have to bring the bigger checked bag for everything else I need #and somewhere in there I also need to shower and stop by the post office #and I'm sure I'm still forgetting something #the 24 hours before a trip are always The Worst #but I'm looking forward to the wedding this weekend and to getting to enjoy NYC properly for a couple weeks after #just gotta keep going and get through the last bit of this rough patch #but also I need to work over the weekend in the downtime because I am so behind #so it doesn't really calm down for another week #God help me #personal #no context for you

"i want him in a way that is concerning to feminism" <- trite, overdone, equates feminism to prudishness and is thus concerning to feminism in itself

"i want him in a way that is concerning to medical science" <- well now we're getting somewhere.

I do think there's something poignant about Artemis II being launched Seder night, in the month that was the first month ever observed by Jews as a people, in the month where Hashem first pointed to the moon and said "הַחֹ֧דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לָכֶ֖ם רֹ֣אשׁ חֳדָשִׁ֑ים רִאשׁ֥וֹן הוּא֙ לָכֶ֔ם לְחׇדְשֵׁ֖י הַשָּׁנָֽה׃" - "This new moon shall be for you the head of the months, it shall be the first for you of the months of the year." I really hope it'll be successful and that the launch and return goes smoothly for the crewmembers.

So often times when an author ends up becoming culturally or historically relevant or whatever a university or other similar institution will collect their papers. That is, they will physically store away their notes and letters and rough drafts and whatnot. Sometimes this even happens while they’re still alive.

A friend of mine knows an author whose papers were archived while he was alive and he gave them permission to do so but they ended up going through every square inch of his house looking for papers and not letting him touch anything until they were done.

That makes me wonder. In an increasingly digital age will people’s “papers” more often be online or on the computer? I certainly do most of my writing online. If I become relevant will one of the universities I went to try to gain control of my world anvil account? Will they want my notebooks that just put stickers in?

In the case of some writers their “papers” can include important personal objects. When I went to the archive at the Harry ransom center I saw Arthur Conan Doyle’s ouija board for example. It’s just a normal ouija board.

If I die important, delete my Google Drive and hide my tarot journal. Archivists will have to piece together my life from my stupid ass tumblr posts just like everyone else.

#holy shit #that poor family #fuck Google #this is one example of why we should never ever trust corporations with important things #the cloud is not reliable #and Google can shut you down for any reason they like with no means of appeal #sure you might not be stupid enough to do something like this #but you never know who in your life might be!#I can't even imagine the hell this has unleashed on this family #to lose all of their accounts and data and documents just like that

If the salary you are offering is not enough to cover the median asking price to rent a bachelor's apartment within an hour commute of where the job site is, not only should you not be allowed to post it but you should also be shot dead so that everyone is saved from your greed and stupidity

#I've been saying for years that minimum wage shouldn't be a number of dollars per hour #it should be expressed as a proportion to the cost of housing #so instead of $15 or $20 or whatever number of $ per hour #it should be like 125% or 150% median studio apartment rent per year #because housing is the biggest component of living costs #I suppose you could also peg it to the overall cost of living in an area #but that turns into a whole calculation process especially since different people have different life habits #and then we'd have to argue about what should be included in a basic standard of living to be included in the calculation #but making it a proportion would probably prevent the more-dollars-chasing-the-same-units inflationary pressures of just raising the minimu #and make wages and housing prices more community-based which just makes sense #AND pit business owners and landlords against each other (because any landlord who starts hiking rent has to deal with corporate lawyers)#plus if it's set as a proportion then we don't have to keep fighting about the exact amount every time inflation kicks in #housing goes up? wages go up #and since housing is the biggest cost in any standard of living calculation #we shouldn't see any hugely substantial drops in standard of living in between adjustments #and if you peg it to the rents people actually pay (not just the rents that are listed)#then that would also be a pressure against building luxury housing that sits vacant #and toward more affordable housing that people actually live in #I'm sure there would be some major kinks to work out in an actual implementation #but anything would be better than the shit situation we have now

ow.

#in multiple ways #threw my back out again #but can't really stop to rest because I have 10 days before I have to fly out #and I need to have my place cleaned and organized before I go so I don't come back to chaos #and then I got a sunburn while out running errands #normally I'm really good about avoiding those but it is a million degrees out and I have the natural sun resistance of ice cream #and then last but most definitely not least #I finally did my fucking taxes #and they were pretty rough this year because of a lot of reasons #so that just wrecked my finances at least until my next 3-paycheck month #oof #oh well #also realized I have to bring a checked bag when I go to NYC #because just my stuff for the wedding is going to mostly fill my carry-on #and I need normal clothes for at least a few days to be able to comfortably stay for my petsitting stint #so that just made logistics way more complicated #all I have to say is TSA lines better not still be multiple hours by the time I fly #because it's already going to be mayhem #I figure I'll pack the wedding stuff plus a day or two of street clothes in my carry on #(and the work laptop since I don't have enough PTO to take the time off)#so that even IF #(GOD FORBID)#if something happens and my checked bag gets lost #I'll still have normal clothes and time to figure something out #but here's hoping the actual travel is all uneventful #life #personal

the fact that the captions didn't translate gora pakoda is a crime!

gora means somthing along the lines of fair skinned, or outright white

pakoda or pakora is a fritter made with various vegtables in a gram flour batter and then fried

gora pakoda thus means white fritter and is often used as a term of andearment for white people or as mild, but friendly insult (depending on context)
