Making the most of the nice weather. Trying to keep it quiet for the benefit of the rest of the park goers. #paracord #bullwhip #whip #whipcracking #whipcracker #performancehybrid #circus #circusskills https://www.instagram.com/p/Bvq-FV9AG_L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gev2ni0ecruv
Taking my revised blade design for a spin. After some destructive testing on my previous design, iâve gone and fixed a couple of structural flaws, as well as making the blade a bit longer (and in my opinion, prettier). #balisong #balisongtrainer #balisongtricks #design #knifemaking #butterflyknife https://www.instagram.com/p/BuwkoKigMTF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16gsanwehanp2
First look at my prototype for a balisong trainer. This one is laser cut acrylic, the transparent material is really handy when it comes to reviewing the design. The hardware is only very basic (as this is only a prototype) but the final version is to be made in aluminium with steel and brass hardware. #prototype #prototyping #balisong #butterflyknife #balisongtrainer #lasercutting #design https://www.instagram.com/p/Bul2q3xAEGx/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1l7y47puhl93b
First time making a tutorial, this time on a combination i posted a video of a while back. Iâve posted a video of it on YouTube as well for better ease of viewing.

Since I donât think Iâve posted any pictures of this one, here it is. A working photo of a duck themed butter knife i made ages ago as a gift.

Starting as i mean to go on, making and learning new things alongside lovely people. This odd pair of arm warmers made by @jazzprisciandaroart and I.

Men like to believe theyd be great in apocalypse scenarios but they dont even know how to sew
Some male friends of mine were once talking about how useful theyâd be in an apocalypse, and I pointed out that as a weaver and sewer and maker of stuff, Iâd be pretty damn useful and they tried to tell me they could just loot clothes from WalMart and theyâd be fine. As if WalMart has endless supplies without weekly deliveries.
So just last night a friend of mine was talking about who heâd round up in the event of a zombie apocalypse and how Iâm his go-to farmer on account of I know how to keep an entire homestead up and running and weâre talking about what kind of resources Iâd need to keep a colony of about 50-ish people alive and i bring up what all goes into processing wool for clothing and such and he just kind of stops me like âwait, wait, we donât need to do all of that because we can scavenge for clothes we donât need to be able to make themâ and iâm just like, âdude, that works in the short-term maybe but if this community is going to be sustainable youâve gotta have people whose job it is to make clothes and blankets and shitâ
also cloth rots pretty quickly when left exposed to the elements and after the first few years or so anything we manage to scavenge isnât going to be wearable anymore and anywho weâve got to teach the kids everything or theyâre not gonna know what to do some decades down the line when everythingâs too rusted or rotted out to be of any practical use anymore, etc etc, and heâs reckoning that things like woodworking and smithing and ranching are more important than say, cleaning or cooking or dairying and meanwhile iâm just smh may all the gods have mercy on this poor fool
He also balked when i brought up how to run a laundry and what all was needed to make everyday shit like soap and toothpaste - like dude, you think this is going to be all about hunting and scavenging and being neato manly-man drifters like in the walking dead let me teach you a thing about keeping a village alive and healthy for more than a week man most of it is shit you keep thinking is non-essential on account of it being âwomenâs workâ or âsimple choresâ thatâre actually pretty labor-intensive and take time, training, knowledge, and practice to do successfully, let alone well, and are 100% absolutely necessary work in order for you to have any reasonably good quality of life after the world ends
Iâm reminded of this post I read a while back about some guy who thought his underwear lasted years because his wife would periodically replace his boxers and socks with identical boxers and socks when they started to look old and he just ⊠never noticed.
Society was created by women. Men were the hunters/warriors because if they died, society would go on. But if a woman died? All that highly skilled knowledge? That would be devastating
Reminds me of a point I heard made about blacksmiths and armourers, namely that to be a good armourer you must not only be a good smith, but also able to sew and work with fabric/delicate materials.
Rarely is a discipline or occupation as simple as the one skill we may think of as encompassing it.
OH MY GOD whyyyy did no one tell me youâre supposed to send thank-yous after interviews?? Why would I do that???
âThank you for this incredibly stressful 30 minutes that I have had to re-structure my entire day around and which will give me anxiety poos for the next 24 hours.â
I HATE ETIQUETTE ITâS THE MOST IMPOSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO LEARN WITHOUT SOMEONE DIRECTLY TELLING ME THIS SHIT
NO ONE TOLD YOU???? WTF! I HAVE FAILED YOU. Also: Dear ______: Thank you so much for the opportunity to sit down with you (&________) to discuss the [insert job position]. I am grateful to be considered for the position. I think I will be a great fit at [company name], especially given my experience in __________. [insert possible reference to something you talked about, something that excited you.] I look forward to hearing from you [and if you are feeling super confident: and working together in the future]. Sincerely, @mellivorinae
THIS IS A LIFESAVING TEMPLATE
YOU ARE WELCOME
My brother got a really great paid internship one summer. The guy who hired him said the deciding factor was the professional thank you letter my brother sent after the interview.
should it be an email? or like a physical letter?
email, you want to send it within a few hours at max after the interview if you can so itâs fresh in their mind who you are.Â
Confirmed! I interviewed for a job right after arriving in NY. The interview went incredibly well, and I went home and immediately wrote a thank you letter and put it in the mail. I had a super good feeling about this interview.
I didnât get the job.
However, a few weeks later, I was called in to interview with another editor in the same company, and I did get that job. I found out later from the initial editor (the one who didnât hire me) that he had planned to offer me the job, but since I didnât follow up with a thank you letter, he assumed I didnât really want it. He offered the job to another contenderâbut when he got my letter in the mail shortly after the offer had already been made, he went to HR and gave me a glowing recommendation. It was based on that recommendation that I got called in for the second interview.
So: send an email thank you immediately (same day!) after the interview. If youâre feeling extra, go ahead and send a written one too. OR go immediately to a coffee shop, write the letter, and return to the office and give it to the secretary.
Either way, those letters are important.
Pro tip: If you really want HR to develop a personal interest in your application, publicly thank them on linkedin. Just make a short post telling your network about how X recruiter really went above and beyond to make you feel welcome, or about how be accommodating and professional they were, or whatever. Make sure to use the mention feature so theyâll get a notification and see it.Â
Flattery will get you everywhere⊠and public flattery that might make its way back to their manager, doubly so.
Obligatory plug for one of FreePrintable.netâs sites: ThankYouLetter.ws. They have a whole section with interview thank you letter templates, and a page with specific tips for interview thank you letters. (There are also tons of other letter templates if you browse around a bit.)
As a former professional recruiter and recruiting manager, I confirm, especially for entry-level positions, where you are competing with oodles of people. This little thing can make a difference. Also the fact that, maybe, you took time to google the âinterview etiquetteâ.
SIGNAL BOOST
The post-interview thank you notes can be a good way to recover in case you got asked a question whose answer you either didnât know or felt was super weak. So if you follow the above given template, jump in with something like âupon further thought to your question, hereâs my revised answer.âÂ
But yeah always send a thank you note after an interview. Itâs a small thing but it makes a hell of a difference. And def send thank you messages to any recruiters who may have helped. And also after you get the job. Small things like that really go a long long way.
âWho says Cosplay is unproductive?â
I come from a family who really disliked me cosplaying for a long time, saying it is âunproductiveâ.
My success in national competitions and event invites had started to change their minds. But what ultimately convinced them was⊠me helping fix shit around the house.
Today my dadâs shoe went all weird and crumbly. He was going to have to buy new shoes or new sole pads⊠But then I went and traced some foam, layered it and padded his shoe back up, for free.
My mum has weak finger joints. The doctors were going to charge her $200 to make her a brace. But I saw what the brace was like, and casted her one with Plasti-make, again for free. She had never struggled with her joint again.
Iâd like to spread the message to parents out there: Cosplay is not unproductive. It is a form of creative problem solving. (How do make something work?)
Please encourage your kids to do something creative. If itâs making outfits from fictional characters⊠Then please let them. Watch them become jacks of all trades and develop their hands on and DIY skills.
Iâll go ahead and extend that the making of things in general, particularly âuselessâ or âpointlessâ things. Making, even for the sake of making, invariably calls for a range of very transferable skills.
Never mistake making things that arenât primarily functional, for a waste of time. The problem solving skills you will develop will alone be highly valuable, not to mention what you gain from becoming proficient at working with your given tools and materials of choice.
All the time we use trivial tasks and games to teach skills, because we understand that the end product neednât be of practical value when the process of making it has taught us something.
Even if the things we make are themselves pointless, does not mean that it was pointless for us to make them.
I find cooking relaxing, therapeutic even. Baking, similarly, is a relaxing hobby, and one thatâs fun to share with people. However, my favourite way to bake is to take an almost scientific approach. I find it fascinating to experiment with the ratios of ingredients, one by one, by making batch after batch of whatever it may be (much to the delight, or sometimes dismay, of any who share a house with me) until an ideal recipe is reached, gaining an understanding of what each component does. That being said, this is the first brownie recipe we tried and i must say it was pretty damn tasty...
One of my main overarching goals is to be wise beyond my years
Intersectional Feminism means addressing injustice and promoting equality wherever it may exist and whoever it may effect.
I THINK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME.
Put changing tables in menâs restrooms. Dads exist.
A-fucking-men!
I cant begin to count the number of times my brother had to change his little girl on a dirty counter in the mens room.
They wanna talk about men âstepping upâ and âbeing dads not babysittersâ but they dont wanna give them the tools necessary to BE dads.
âMy wife and I, we share everything equally. We cook and clean. We work hard â equally. Why do we share equal responsibility but society views us differently?â â Donte Palmer, from the original post.
ALL HAIL THE VOID
YOU ARE WEAK
YOU ARE NOTHING
YOU MUST BOW DOWN AND GIVE PRAISE TO THE MIGHTY VOID
I shall not praise the void, I shall praise the glow cloud insted
Oh really huh?
REALLY?
Well maybe Iâll just remove your teeth and boil them in orange milk then
Hey can I praise you and the glow cloud maybe⊠just a thought *shuffles away*
Hey maybe you can JUST PICK ONE
You multi-worshiping sheep herder!
Unless you only praise the glow cloud in order to gain trust amongst their ranks and eventually take them down, then NO, praising us both is contradictory
Go eat an ice cube you foolish mortal
The void appears to like teeth. The glow cloud drops dead animals, which i can only imagine have teeth. Maybe the void and the glow cloud could come to some arrangement regarding the state of supply and demand for teeth?
Teeth are a delightful currency but fresh is the best, I have no use for those horrifyingly aged teeth that come from dead animals
You make a good point but ultimately The Void (ALL HAIL) feels like you should go eat a shoe
*slings bag of badger teeth over shoulder*
Very well then. I shall take my business elsewhere.
Doug: Aw, you guys threw a party for me? Thatâs so nice of you-
Alana: I accidentally put poisonous gas in one of these balloons, so if any of them pop, we might die.
Doug: when you say accidentally...
Alana: it was deliberate, 100 percent

Gods of people
Where does the line sit between a normal human person and a god?
Any sufficiently advanced technology can be indistinguishable from magic, and i wonder, is the same true of humans and gods, where power is the deciding metric.
If thatâs the case, how powerful must someone become before they are indistinguishable from a deity? What must I conquer to pass the turing test of deification?
Assert dominance over ghosts by jumping out at yourself from dark corners
Why wait for a poltergeist to cause a ruckus? Slam your own doors. Rattle your own windows. Smash your own favourite plate against the wall. Haunt your own house. You donât need no weakass spirit. The only supernatural force you need in your life is yourself.
this is so inspiring iâm crying thank you

Be the supernatural entity you want to see in the world
