“Forgive me Father for I have sinned” and “Sorry Daddy I’ve been bad” both mean very similar things but have wildly different connotations

Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies

FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS

AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT

DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER

FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe

1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)

1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)

½ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.

^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent

WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!

Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.

Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.

Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.

Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)

Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.

I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.

I think a big part of why I read way more fanfiction than books is that there’s just a hell of a lot less exposition

the first 10 pages of most books are always “these are the main characters and here’s some background on each of them and this is the setting etc etc” and it’s such a fucking hassle getting to the plot sometimes

fanfic is just like “fuck it you know all of this already let’s go”

chitarra10

That’s a really good point.

puckish-saint

Same here but there’s actually a point here of well written exposition. Take AUs for example. Even in the most complicated, as-far-removed-from-canon settings we get at most a single paragraph before the actual fic where the author gives us a quick rundown of the rules for that universe. The rest we are left to figure out on our own and it works. We’re not spoon fed every trivial detail when all we want is to get to the plot. Everything that’s important is said at the moment it is important, not sooner not later. Especially in long fics characters often take on such a unique characterisation that you get to know them all over again but the readers do so organically, in the situations that define those characters as they happen. Same with looks. The fic author generally assumes the readers know what the characters look like and don’t spend paragraphs describing them, and only bring it up when it fits the plot. I’ve read a few fanfics from fandoms I’ve never been in and surprisingly it still worked out. I had generally a good idea of who these people were, what they did where and why and how they worked together. Point is, if you’re a writer writing original fiction, pretend it’s fanfic and everyone knows your setting and characters already. That way you’ll only have to add a few details if and when your beta readers mention needing more information and chances are they won’t need a lot.

Bolding this fantastic advice.

I want all my white mutuals to watch this immediately! And I’ll reblog this everyday until you guys fully understand.

Patriarchy: a system of society or government in which men hold most of the power and women are largely excluded from it.

List of US Presidents (100% male)

In 2016, 105 (77D, 28R) women hold seats in the United States Congress, comprising 19.6% of the 535 members; 20 women (20%) serve in the United States Senate, and 85 women (19.5%) serve in the United States House of Representatives

Only four of the 112 Justices ever to serve on the highest court in the land have been women.

Only 11 States Have Ever Elected Both a Female Governor And Senator

The S&P 500 as a whole has 96 percent of companies run by men

daydreaming-of-puppiess

Run for president then.

lornagonigall

“It’s a patriarchy because women aren’t choosing to go into political fields and higher paying jobs! I’d rather run a political blog and criticise the lack of women in political jobs and say it’s down to men and the paytreearchie!”

fandomsandfeminism

Consider: There are societal and cultural reasons that keep women out of politics and higher paying fields beyond just “women are lazy and don’t want to.”

smitethestate

Oh sure, I’ll just run for president. I have 5 million dollars just lying around. Why didn’t I think of that?

keelanrosa

Friendly reminder the last woman to be a serious contender for President had 30 years’ political experience and, while her political time was not even remotely scandal-free, it was all within range of what would be expected of someone who had spent *that damn long* in politics. (I maintained even before the election trump would have done EXACTLY the same thing with the email server, if not something worse, and after he got sworn in he… proceeded to use unsecured email and an unsecured phone. but whatever.) and she ultimately lost to someone with 0 political experience who *still* managed to have a list of scandals including several things she’d been accused of IN ADDITION TO fraud, admitted sexual assault, and rape accusations, and is not just lacking in political experience, but repeatedly expressed a complete fucking lack of knowledge as to how the US government even works. But tell me again how the problem is just women not running for office and women have only themselves to blame for the ~patriarchy~
