okii here's a google drive link that i reallyyy hope works for everyone!!
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mzi3toGLNzk1DSaE9C251IUkERAtAwW3/view?usp=drivesdk
this is a 1 hour 14 long uncut audio but if anyone wants only the songs, i can try to cut it when i get back home
i was sat in the 3rd? 4th? row quite near a speaker but it still can't do them justice
A fan-recorded video of a brand new TAD song!! The song is called Gold.
Can we include darebee.com with ao3 and wikipedia on our list of really good nonprofits with excellent services that we stan?
It's a free, no sign-up, no ads fitness resource created by professionals who view this as activism (fitness should be accessible to everyone), and it's very thoughtful and thorough.
Features I really like:
- all instructions for workout routines are diagrammed on single pages with a clean, easy to read layout
- there's 30 or 60 day programs you can follow if you, like me, don't know what to do. they take you through a rotation of workouts so you're working different muscle groups on different day for a specific purpose
- there's so much variety and there's a filter so you can find the level and your goals and type of workout you wanna do
- you don't need any equipment
- some of the programs are RPGs or adventure stories! How's that for motivation. There's also badges and achievements or something but I haven't looked that closely at how that works yet
- they're nerds. they name workouts after D&D classes. There's a Lannistrr workout, a batcave workout, a witcher workout
- I've only scratched the surface
I'm doing this really easy one to start out
Darebee, darebee, fitness, visual workouts, workouts, fitness challenges, fitness motivation, training tips, recipes, nutrition
If you don't understand from the picture they have an Exercise Library playlist in YouTube so you can see what all the moves look like in motion!

Hey i’m a fashion design student so i have tons and tons of pdfs and docs with basic sewing techniques, pattern how-tos, and resources for fabric and trims. I’ve compiled it all into a shareable folder for anyone who wants to look into sewing and making their own clothing. I’ll be adding to this folder whenever i come across new resources
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/16uhmMb8kE4P_vOSycr6XSa9zpmDijZSd?usp=sharing
Updated just now with new hand sewing resources (mainly buttonholes) and textbook pdfs on fashion history, fashion illustration, and thinking through designs!
OP I owe you my life
OP you are the greatest person currently in my life. You beautiful, thoughtful creature.
Skip & Hollanov fic outline
I am not a writer, if this sparks joy for anyone then go for it, free to a good home just please tag me.
-Game day, Boston vs New York 20 minutes to puck drop.
-Ilyas phone rings
-It’s Kip Grady
-He’s flown into Montreal, where NY is playing the next night, hoping to hang with his boyfriend Scott hunter
-Unfortunately, airline has lost his luggage and phone is gone/broken/dead, strange city little money no communication.
-Only phone number he has on him is Ilya’s, who gave it to him weeks ago after some league outing with the offer of support, just happens to be wearing the same jacket
-Kip calling Ilya in a panic, not sure what else to do, you said call if I need anything
-Ilya texts Shane, asks him if he can pick up Kip, look after him and put him up for a night in Montreal, they end up watching the Boston/NY game in their boyfriends jerseys and chatting (because Shane needs some queer friends, and Ilya knows this. Two birds one stone)
-Hunter realizes at some point during the game that Kip never texted when his plane landed, can’t be reached, OMG my boyfriend is missing, starts panicking.
-Ilya sees chaos on the other bench, has a decent idea what this might be about, has to try and subtlety explain to Scott that he knows where missing boyfriend is (he called me up, no this isn’t a chirp let go of my jersey you asshole.)
-Meanwhile Kip and Shane are painting each others nails and playing smash/pass, ignorant of their boyfriends hockey fight on TV in the background
-Ilya gets hold of Shane, stop being an asshole Scott and talk to your boyfriend, Kip sends selfie and Hunter is reassured, also chewed out by his boo for hitting Kip’s nice new Russian friend.
-Kip located, scott hunter bruised and sheepish, Ilya Rozanoff bruised and smug, awkward apology beer after the game
-Next night, NY plays in Montreal, Kip in the stands, decked out in Metro’s gear cause still no luggage
-Shane has a new friend and is quietly sassy about it (your boyfriend likes my team better, baby bird chirp) Hunter is long suffering and annoyed/grateful for these two closeted hockey punks
"Sys how is your decent into fiber arts hell going"
Glad you asked. I have arrived at 'modern flax is Bullshit compared to what we had in historical textiles, the flax widely available for handspinning is basically the tow that would be discarded from textile creation and used with tar to caulk ships back in the day'
This naturally led me down a hole of 'why is the staple length of this stuff a bullshit 6 inches' and the answer is 'we have bred modern flax more for the oil than the fiber because cotton usurped the place of everyday textile thanks to slavery and the cotton gin'
Anyway, THIS led me to a rabbit hole that culminated in me finding flax seed bred for proper 30 inch tall plants for fiber, sold by some fellow minded nerds on a website that has not been updated since 1998 and you have to email them to buy anything.
Anyway how are all of you doing.
I FAILED YOU ALL here is the site. You can also buy flax fiber from them. The PROPER shit, not the hot garbage ass tow fiber sold as flax top for handspinners.
'machine combing shortens the flax fibers by several inches'
This right here is part of why modern linen is a pale shadow of historical linen. Legitimately it cannot be properly replicated by machines. It HAS to be made by human hands if you want the best quality.
If you are interested in traditional flax and linen and spinning and weaving it - you might want to check out Berta's Flax - https://www.bertas-flachs.at/en/ The organization started here:
"Bertas Story
Berta was a farmers girl from Austria who married in the 1940ies. As it was common, she got a huge trunk full of unspun flax and one full of linnen fabric as a dowry. Both trunks were treasured by her till her death but she never used any of it.
Her son wanted the unspun flax to go to a good home and gave it to me. It being way to much to spin myself I found women all over the world to spin it as well. So we are spinning and weaving a net to each other." (from the original Facebook group) Since then they have been saving flax and linen dowries and growing a guild of flax spinners and weavers.
huh? pompeii? nah dude that song’s so old and overplayed, if the radio station puts that song on one more fucking time I’m gonna—-EH EH OH EH OH EH EH OH EH OH
oh hey this feels like a good time to mention that bastille did a remix of pompeii. with goddamn hans zimmer. listen to this to blow your tits clean off
there is no greater joy on this earth than Making Lists, Categorizing, & Sorting
oh do I have the game for you
I could . not. put. this down for 48 hours - stayed up too late, had weird dreams about it, woke up early, and played it while I was supposed to be doing other things. the last several dozen items took a lot of googling, which I do not even begrudge it.
and then. My partner started it. And the SAME THING happened to him.
surprisingly compelling. start when you have free time. like, yanno, a snow day.
oh my god, if you are the kind of person who gets sucked into logic puzzles, do not click that link if you have to do anything/go to sleep in the next couple hours
I was disappointed there weren't more levels, so I made them! The creator's code was under CC Share Alike, so I moved a copy to my website, rustled up 40 new categories, and added buttons so you can generate smaller puzzles!
Check it out! More levels!
YOOOO
i made martha stewart roasted potatoes, and fam??? they fuck SEVERELY
cut potatoes into chunks, add to pan, cover with 1/2 cup of broth mixed with chopped herbs, lemon juice, oil, and salt/pepper, then cook in oven at 425 until the broth is gone, then stir the potatoes up until you get some browning
the broth makes the potatoes go so soft and also absorb the flavor, and then the remaining oil helps them crisp a bit at the edges
y'all, they're SO good
Im always like "i will not add my two cents. i will not add my two cents" but i cant lie the pennies are getting sweaty in my hand
Me reading a Boston Bears | Boston Raiders Team Ensemble & Ilya Rozanov story: omg I love these guys. these guys, who I don't even know. these guys who aren't even real. manno :(
"I asked ChatGPT-" well, I asked the oracle of Delphi and she said that if I go to war with Persia, a great empire will fall.
So I'm gonna do it.
This post was originally about the story of Croesus, King of Lydia, and how he decided to go to war with Cyrus the Great in the 6th century BCE. Now it's about something else.
Arguably the most appropriate post for Apollo to "bless" since it's about his oracle.
i am the dick magician... make it disappear and reappear like ta-da ✨

Wait edit of all fucking time
I don't know who needs to hear this, but the magic ratio for ganache (a firm one, such as you would use to make truffles or enrobe a cake) is 1 tablespoon of heavy cream per one ounce of chocolate. Chop the chocolate (or use chips), then boil the cream, immediately pour it over the chocolate, and whisk until smooth. People get so impressed whenever I make ganache but it is literally so easy. When it's freshly made you can dip fruit or cookies in it or use it to fill doughnuts, and if you let it cool and harden somewhat you can roll spoonfuls into balls to make truffles or use it as a filling for sandwich cookies. Also if you're feeling gremlinous you can just eat it with a spoon.
Important addendum I discovered last year: the above is the magic ratio specifically if you are using dark chocolate (which I always was because it's my favorite). The process is the same, but for milk chocolate the ratio is 1 tablespoon of heavy cream per 1.5oz of chocolate and for white chocolate it's 1 tablespoon of heavy cream per 2oz of chocolate. This is because milk and white chocolate have less chocolate per chocolate so they behave differently. Now you know. Go forth and make delicious ganaches.
And darling, this is more than anything I've felt before You're everything that I want but I didn't think I'd find
