Blog Info

Hi there! My name is Kissi, and I am a first gen’ Dane, currently living in the States and working as an artist. I post a lot about: • Fantasy media (Dragon Age, Baldur’s Gate, DnD, etc.) • Comics (DC, Marvel, +) • Art (more so about it, my art blog is @notkirstinetheartist if you want to see my work!) Relevant tags: I don’t have a lot of repeatedly used tags, but I’ll use whatever is relevant to the media I’m talking about. But, I do frequently use… • Mellan (my favorite child) • My art • My writing • TW: __ • Sin (for any vaguely nsfw content, including tasteful nudes in classical art.) That being said… if I see any minors interacting with anything I deem inappropriate on my blog, I will not hesitate to block! If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out, especially about the concept art industry, art history, or art in general. I like being able to provide wherever I can in this volatile industry. :) Have a great day! -Kissi

University of Minnesota Duluth engineering professor Abbie Clarke-Sather’s “fiber shredder” breaks clothing down into reusable threads in 90

It's called the "fiber shredder." It's the brainchild of Abbie Clarke-Sather, associate professor in mechanical and industrial engineering at UMD, who’s been fine-tuning the contraption with her students for the past decade.

It's about the size of a copy machine. Inside, two drums rotate in opposite directions, with teeth on them “kind of like what you'd find on a fish hook,” she said during a recent demonstration.

Clarke-Sather dons a face mask, turns on a loud air filter and feeds strips of an old, holey, pink cashmere sweater into the top of the machine. Instead of chopping up the fabric, the drums pull apart the fibers. Ninety seconds later, she’s peering inside a bag full of pink thread that looks like cotton candy.

“Look at how long these threads are!” Clarke-Sather exclaims. “Two, three inches long? That's the thing that's really cool about this, is that it preserves the thread length," she explains.

Similar machines tear apart the fabric into smaller pieces or chunks. That material can be “downcycled,” repurposed into less valuable products ranging from insulation and carpet padding to stuffing for mattresses or dog beds. But it can't be spun back into yarn to make clothes again. That requires threads at least two inches long.

“Everybody's going for that holy grail of apparel-to-apparel recycling,” Clarke-Sather said. The fiber shredder, she said, makes that possible.

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

#Axel Axgil and his partner were the first two legally registered queer partners in the world #They married in Danmark. My home country.#No one in America talks about them or the Kredsen - the advocates from the 1940s.#I’m not saying American pride isn’t important because it is its incredibly important. But other countries are ignored.#We’re treated like we haven’t done anything for the queer community when frankly America was LATE to help their queer citizens.

big fan of stories that, while undoubtedly being about the power of friendship, acknowledge that the power of incredible violence is just as important

the love was there. the love changed everything. the crowbar helped also

Hear me out : wintergreen and rose have both conspired against slade and faked wintergreen’s death and put him through all that just so he can realise that he should actually retire and live a normal life because they want to show him that losing everything including wintergreen and his money is a very probable situation if he continues on living that life, i mean some of the only persistent thing we saw was rose wanting slade to retire (wintergreen and rose’s first and only conversation being abt how rose wanted slade to stop killing and then later on seeing a flashback of her talk with slade and telling him to get a better less dangerous hobby), now ik this is a far fetched idea and there is a lot of things that don’t really fit including wintergreen participating but i do think that can be explained with the fact that billy is getting desperate and realises that he cannot be there for slade forever so he has to do smth to stop him, but tbh i don’t think this will be it, i just think it’s interesting.
