its terrible for any number of reasons, but i think if we invent immortality there should be an extreme sport called civilizational speedrunning where teams of 20 go into the wilderness somewhere and try and be the fastest build the first internal combustion engine. i bet you could get it down to like 3 years tops

[biggestzam]

The real trick is to eat seed heavy food before the speedrun starts so your first poops are halfway to agriculture already

i want you on my team holy shit

saving what you have: visible mending

Visible mending is a way to fix clothes with holes in a decorative way. Instead of trying to make the mend invisible as possible, it can be fun and creative to hi light the tears and holes with stitching that adds to the garment. I think this method is super cool to repair clothes you may really want to keep but also make more beautiful.

There are many techniques to mending clothes and here are some popular techniques that will help you save your clothes and also reduce your consumption of fast-fashon!

darning

The embroidery technique used to repair holes in fabric by using running stitches and thread woven in-between those stitches to repair a hole. If you’re interested in employing this stitch, check out this awesome darning tutorial by Evelyn Wood!

sashiko

This type of traditional Japanese mending practice is used to reinforce the strength of fabric as well as decorate. It is a great solution for mending holes with patches and well to reinforce thinning fabric! For learning the basics of Sashiko there is a wonderful beginners tutorial by Benzie Design.

patches

Patches are very versatile when used for repairing clothes. You can sew it over a hole in your fabric or you can also so the patch in the inside to have it peek out. There is a great tutorial for custom DIY patches by wastelesscrafts and Creating with misp has a tutorial on mending with a peek-through patch. 

happy mending!

i know the way people talk about their pets now is probably how we’ve been doing it for all of history. a cat owner in ancient rome saw their cat lounging on the dining pillows and commented “he thinks himself to be the senator claudius 🤣”

well the thing is that's an extremely reasonable concern

[copperbadge]

Before the advent of digital photography, the way you took photos was with a camera and a roll of film loaded into it. When you'd used up the film you took it out of the camera and took it to a developer, who would turn the film into prints (or slides). This could take anywhere from an hour to a couple of days depending on what you had access to and were willing to pay.

My folks were not willing to pay top dollar for whatever ten year old me thought was important to photograph, so we usually took my film to a drugstore which would mail it off to a bulk developer, and I'd get it back in about a week. Part of the fun was waiting to see what photos came out, or even being reminded of what was on the early part of the roll.

Recently I gave Hodag a vintage DLR and some film for it, and we spent part of Saturday wandering around testing it out. I dropped the film off at a local developer on Monday and he said based on his workload he'd probably have it for me at the end of the week.

I have the same excited, twitchy impatience to see this developed roll as I did when I was a kid. COME ON! WHEN AM I GONNA GET THE PRINTS? THEY'RE GONNA LOOK SO COOL! I've been checking my email for the notification incessantly.

[copperbadge]

Sadly no email so far, and they close for the weekend at 6, so it looks like it'll be next week. I will have to contain my twitches.

[rocketplane]

Ooh, you can't just drop that you have a classic TLR camera and not share a photo of it. Photoblr wants to know!

[copperbadge]

I only have one photo of the actual camera, which I took while Hodag was getting light readings:

But it's a Yashica-D TLR (not DLR, that's embarrassing) from the 70s, similar to this model:

It's a little fiddly and the case was in a sorry state but the case got in the way anyway. I made them a new neck strap for it and that works perfectly fine :)
