Pics of my Pride flag quilt top! I designed it myself, and tried to use as many distinct fabrics as I could except where I didn't have enough of a single color (looking at you, purple and brown). Size is about 60 x 90 inches. Now just waiting on the backing fabric (which I am soooo excited about). Not sure how I'm going to quilt it yet, but I am not very skilled so something extremely basic. Enjoy!
My sister took more photos of my dress. I am very happy with how this turned out :)))))
Only one more weekend until the Renaissance Faire!!!!
In the latest round of "Derin shares a random fact from their life and gets flooded with stupid advice they didn't ask for that assumes they have the life experience of a toddler", I am once again being reminded that food can be frozen, but nobody's told me to take half a slow cooker's worth of leftovers to the local food bank (which they know nothing about since they know nothing about my town) yet. So at least the advice is getting marginally less stupid, even if the assessment of my intelligence is the same. Hopefully this improvement persists.
you should consider eating an entire slow cookers worth of food in one sitting next time
Believe me I did my best
Did u know food can be dried as well
Wow, no way! Next you'll tell me that it can be canned or something!
No no don’t start canning. It’s hot and dangerous and a lot of work and also one of those deep deep pits you can fall into like fibre arts.
I've refused to even dabble in canning for years because doing it safely just costs way too much money. Between the lower reliability of home canning than factory canning, the lids having a bit that you're not supposed to reuse for safety reasons and are expected to rebuy regularly, and the modern price of electricity, I seriously doubt that canning my own food would be any cheaper than just buying canned food, and the end product would absolutely be worse.
Everything I want to preserve is simply better preserved in a freezer, and I'm not good enough at gardening to have a bunch of excess produce to can anyway. If I grow too many tomatoes or too much spinach, I cook the extra into a meal and freeze it. And buying fresh stuff to can is a fool's errand; buying the canned version is usually already cheaper even before you take into consideration the costs of canning it yourself. We've already figured out canning on an industrial scale. It's about as efficient and safe as it's gonna get. Me doing a shittier version in my own house isn't helpful.
I've never gotten into canning for some of those same reasons, but also because it just takes ONCE to mess it up and get botulism poisoning, and I just know I'd fuck it up and end up a statistic
Ive gone into canning (using stuff from weck bc of lid and glass safety) but tbh, if youve got the freezer space, derin's approach is a lot easier and on days that you dont have time or energy to cook, you can still pull a nutricious meal from the freezer
Canning probably makes more sense if you a) grow tons and tons of your own fresh produce, way more than you can fit in a freezer, b) have a tiny freezer and are in a scenario where you can't get a big one, and/or c) live somewhere where the electricity grid is unstable so freezing for preservation reasons is unsafe (canning takes more electricity given that you're likely running a freezer anyway, but a freezer's electricity needs to be constant). But as a bad gardener who owns a chest freezer and a desire to do as little extra work as possible, I just cook everything into stews or sauces, portion it, and freeze the portions.
Despite being well experienced in both cooking and freezing, portioning beforehand is consistently a step I forget to do. This is how I end up sawing at a block of pumpkin soup with a breadknife at 2 in the afternoon
That is so funny to me. Frozen hands, bread knife, huge chunk of pumpkin ice, pure determination.
The crowd was equally indignant, reportedly booing whenever Cunningham touched the ball.

Hot Writers Don't Gatekeep
the writers REALLY liked my artist resource post, so I thought i'd give y'all my dragon hoard of things i use for writing
Reverse Dictionary, you type in the meaning of a word, and it gives you a bunch of words that mean that. (MY MOST IMPORTANT OFFERING IN THIS LIST)
Slang Dictionary, what it says on the tin.
Anglish Translator, Anglish is if English evolved without borrowing from other languages and it really itches my brain (Anglish is if english grown without borrowing from other languages and it truly itches my brain)

Mythcreants, has a whole bunch of stuff you can read to learn more about the technical aspects of writing
A decent article talking about what to think about when creating a language

Food timeline, when foods were invented
there will never be anything as funny as the mutual disbelief between long form and short form fic writers about each other's style.
short form writers look at people writing 100k+ fics as though this is some sort of talent given as part of a fae bargain, that the commitment required shows some sort of ungodly mental fortitude.
meanwhile long form writers look at people writing 1000 word one shots like god I would cut off my left nipple to be able to say anything concisely. i would love to play with multiple ideas. free me from the shackles of this child I have birthed. i love them but I now must take them to t-ball and doctor's appointments and they're going to destroy everything I own.
In celebration of the proshot
The Fates may bully Eurydice every second of her life forever but even they knew they had to defend her from any potential fandom misogny.
every day i am thankful to ancient humans for the domestication of the cat. fucking genius idea. agriculture was a good one too btw but you really outdid yourselves with the cat thing
OKAY I'm curious

ellipsus
google docs
directly in the AO3 editor
notes app
physical paper
literally wherever I can (sticky notes, your hand, scrap paper, etc)
something else (tell me in tags or comments !!)
not a fic writer but I wanna press a button too !!!

no one says big mood anymore. no one even says mood. no one says anything. all thats left is a dry wind, that scours my face until i bleed
“Do dishes” and “take out trash” both require the use of a spell slot, vs “use phone” is a cantrip, and brother, I am a level one wizard
do you think cats understand that we can't see as well in the dark as them or when i trip over my cat in the night is he like. bro what the fuck is your problem. stop being clumsy.
it sucks that the overwhelming majority of medical messaging around salt/sodium is "evil poisonous substance that you're definitely already eating way too much of," because like. you do still need it. (trust me, as a POTS-haver, I've had to completely rewire my own brain about salt.) and you need more salt when the entire northern hemisphere is hot enough to fry an egg on. ever tried sucking down the recommended 64oz of hydration per day entirely as water, only to find you're peeing constantly without any of the purported benefits of being "hydrated"? assuming you don't have another medical condition that causes frequent urination, your body probably needed more salt/electrolytes to be able to hold onto that water and make use of it. if there was ever a time to keep a sports drink/pedialyte/etc within constant reach, it's when the heat index is 110°F/43°C.
cats will be like please i need you to watch me wiggle around on this carpet please hey look look please look at me i’m wiggling
My first ever embroidery project that isn't visible mending or stuffed animal related.
Since it's my first time doing something like this it's a bit of a mess and I couldn't figure out how to finish off the edges so I just did a very tight blanket stitch around it.
Ended up not being able to lay flat at all but I still like it. Should probably apply a backing or something to prevent the warping before I remove it from the hoop next time.
the friar from much ado about nothing after his faking a death scheme actually works: wow, I can't wait to tell my friend in verona about this one weird trick!
