GAH. (In a positive, but frustrated way)

I don’t vague-book as a policy, but I’m losing my mind, so imma vague-tumble. 

This whole, “don’t post until you sign the contract and shit is officially announced” is driving me crazy because I WANT TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS THING. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS THING. 

But I’m not allowed to post about the thing.

So here we are. 

This has been a completely useless post to try to curb my urge to post about the real thing. 

Carry on.

Let me tell you about my panda mini-washer

As an apartment dweller, this is a game changer. My current apartment doesn’t have a laundry facility and the closest Laundromat about a 30 min bus ride which is just not practical. The mini-washer is a life saver

The panda mini washer hooks up to the sink, is incredibly lightweight (about 28 pounds, so light even I can lift it) and easy to use. 

It has a surprisingly large capacity. The basket from the first picture represents about one and a half loads. The jeans took up a whole load while the rest filled the bin only half way. 

Here’s the inside. The left is the washer the right is the spin dryer. Yes, it even drys.

Basically you shove your cloths into the washer, fill it up with water and let it go. I use my shower head to fill it up so it goes faster, the sink hook up took about five minutes to fill the whole tub, with the shower head is is down to a minute an a half. I do it in three wash cycles, a five minute rinse with baking soda, a five minute wash with soap and a three minute rinse with water. You have to drain and refill between each cycle so it’s a little more labor intensive than a traditional washer. 

That’s the spin dryer. It’s about half the capacity of the washer so one wash takes about two loads to dry. The spinner is much more effective than I was expecting. A three minute spin gets my cloths about 90% dry. I hang them up to air dry for that last 10%. 

The machine cost me about 150$. When you factor in two dollars for the bus, five for the machines (per week), the mini-washer pays for its self after only about six months worth of laundry. 

I’m not great at expressing emotion, but I’m hoping you can tell how excited I am.  Let me just say that the panda mini-washer is great and I highly recommend it to anyone currently using a Laundromat.  

[ihatethebitchwhorunsthisblog-de]

Read this and immediately bought it on Amazon for $180. I spend $15 a week to have my laundry done so this pays for itself in 3 months for me. THANK YOU JESUS.

Oh by the way, they have table top dishwashers that are pretty much the same thing:

[breelandwalker]

This is one of the biggest technological breakthroughs for the everyday homeowner in the current decade: the realization that refrigerators aren’t the only things that can be miniaturized for better affordability and minimal space requirements.

Can you IMAGINE how this is going to change the lives of college students and apartment-dwellers? Or anyone with a lower income who can’t afford a place with “luxury” appliances like dishwashers and laundry machines?

There’s an even cheaper option called the Wonder Wash where you tumble the thing yourself and you’ll have to line-dry the clothes, but it apparently works very well.

As an apartment dweller, I want to spread this.

PROBLEM: -THE TRUMP TEAM NEEDS TO FILL 3,000 VACANCIES IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS.

WHOA, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?? -they assumed the white house staff would be sticking around, because they never watched “the west wing” and also because they are GRADE A FUCKSTICKS WITH THE INTELLIGENCE OF DEAD PRAWNS, and thus not only do they not have policy papers written, they are also lacking an actual body of qualified staffers ready to slot into white house and related positions -they have bupkis, frankly -whole lotta nothing

SOLUTION: -THEY HAVE PLACED AN OPEN CALL FOR STAFF APPLICATIONS ON THEIR WEBSITE

THAT’S NOT… VERY WEIRD, RIGHT? PEOPLE APPLIED TO WORK FOR OBAMA ONLINE -yeah, and the website looked like this -trump’s call for applications is a trainwreck. i assume it was written by one of trump’s three adult goblins. look at this paragraph:

“You will be asked fill out a Personal Data Statement if you are considered for a specific position. You will be asked about possible conflicts of interest… organization[s] which you belong or once belonged; speeches you may have given… legal, administrative and regulatory proceedings to which you may have been a party; in short, anything that might embarrass the President or you if he should choose you for a position in his administration…… If Senate confirmation is required for the position you are nominated for, the Senate committee that reviews those nominations may ask you to provide additional information.“ 

WAIT…. WHAT?? -just a little casual there, guys, huh? like…. the whole thing makes it sound like they don’t have a vetting team ready to go. it makes it feel like there’s no solid recruitment team or strategy in place and… -oh my God, wait a second -doesn’t that sound kind of like they’re asking people to vet themselves? -maybe because they are so WOEFULLY, CATASTROPHICALLY SHORT-HANDED?????? -pun intended

WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN, ORANGE?? -well, i’m glad you asked, it could mean a lot of things -firstly: i wouldn’t trust these sloppy motherfuckers to staff a lemonade stand -secondly: like, YOU could go WORK FOR TRUMP, probably. they are mass-hiring, like a new denny’s franchise. like eight new denny’s franchises clustered around a single interstate exit, shivering in terror. is your head firmly affixed to your body? are you carbon-based?? they badly need people with those qualifications -thirdly: it may also, eventually, mean that the trump white house is going to produce an unheard-of metric fuckton of personnel scandals in its first year, since there’s no voluntary, self-reporting “are you a serial murderer” box to tick -also, do they not understand that people are going to apply just to fuck with them??? and waste their time??? -i don’t recommend it, honestly. i personally will not be submitting any private information to the trump team even as an obstructionist joke, because they are terrifying anti-semitic racist garbage-fucking hate trolls. i wouldn’t voluntarily give them the address of a shoe store. but if you choose to step up and play the game, have fun and be yourselves*

*technically you can be anyone you want, they DON’T APPEAR TO HAVE A VETTING TEAM YET

A Pair Of Muslim And Jewish BFFs Dressed As "Juslim" Superheroes For Halloween

We need this story this year.

This is the best.

[jewish-privilege]

MORE!

The girls designed their own glittery superhero logo — JM — which stands for Jewish-Muslim. And since their school does not allow religious or offensive costumes, their t-shirts also had a disclaimer: “Don’t worry, it’s not religious, it’s not offensive.”

…“I’m Muslim and she’s Jewish; I’m black and she’s white. I think it’s really empowering for people to see us as role models in saying let’s stop the war and to show equality between all people,” Yasmin [Idris] said.

…“There are wars happening between these two religions and races and this is kind of like integration,” Yasmin said.

The Juslims’ superpowers? “To watch each other’s back,” Yasmin said. “We’re a super team, like friends forever.”

What James Potter planned to do on his 55th birthday: have all his kids and grandkids over for a Quidditch tournament, "accidentally" start a food fight (and blame it on Padfoot), tell the story of him winning the Quidditch cup in 7th year for the eight thousandth time, scare at least half his grandkids by hiding under the invisibility cloak, share a firewhiskey with Minnie McGonagall, beat Harry in a broomstick race (because yes I can still outfly you with my eyes closed), dance around the garden with Lily until all the grandkids yell in disgust, plan his 56th birthday party, and laugh, laugh, laugh.

What James Potter actually did on his 55th birthday:
