But Sir! Thats My Emotional Support Yacht! @nervousgarbage - Tumblr Blog

How very depressing that Neil Gaiman had trended not even a tiny bit for demonstrating what a fucking horrific person he is.

As a reminder, he's suing Caroline Wallner, one of his accusers, for breaking her NDA. Not for libel. He's saying she shouldn't have told anyone about it, not that she lied.

The author says Wallner broke her NDA by sharing her story with the media, including with New York Magazine.

He doesn't need the money. He's risking the Streisand effect. He is punishing Caroline, he's trying to intimidate other victims who have signed NDAs to scare them into continued silence.

He is no friend to women, to the LGBTQIA+ community, to anyone quite frankly unless he thinks they are of value to him.

Share the story. Put it on Facebook and bluesky and whatever else you're on. Make it clear what a horrifying person he is. Tell your friends. He's paying Edendale a fortune to try and cover this up. Make this hard for him. Make it cost him money.

I thought this post would get 150 notes maybe. 300 at the absolute outside.

It's got more than that in the last few hours.

I'm really glad to know how much people hate him.

Thank you all so much for your love and support. If you are a survivor reading this, know that you also deserve to be believed, beloved, and

Here's people falling in love and falling out of love and arguing and crying and laughing. Here's a nightmare, distilled so it can't hurt anymore.

Local house witch telling you to please learn basic housekeeping skills.

It’s not your fault if no one ever taught you but YouTube is a magical place and can teach you at your own pace.

coinandcandle

Someone asked me what housekeeping skills I’d recommend learning.

Keep in ming that this is not me shaming you, I know you have your reasons, folks. This is just a guy who enjoys clean spaces asking that you start learning now.

Here’s what I suggest as an adult who has lived with other adults who didn’t have housekeeping skills:

First and foremost, learn about all the places in your house that need to be cleaned and understand how often they should be cleaned. the American Cleaning Institute (I guess that’s a thing) has a good article about basic cleaning info. Plus this video on cleaning tips is great!

Learn how to do your dishes. HOT water is the only way to clean your dishes.

Learn how to clean your shower head, especially if you live in a place with hard water. Same goes for your sinks.

Learn how to do your laundry correctly. Even without the whole “separating whites and colors” thing, there are things you need to learn about washing your clothes. Learn what the tags mean, too.

Also, you don’t have to use fabric softener and you shouldn’t use it on towels or any fabric meant to absorb. (Learn about laundromats) And please learn how to clean out your dryer vent, it’s a safety hazard!

Get a disinfecting cleaner for your high-touch areas, especially the gross ones like the bathroom. Just because it doesn’t look dirty, doesn’t mean it’s clean!

Learn how to sweep, mop, and vacuum effectively.

You’ll also want to make sure to change out your home’s air filters.

TL;DR, here are some cleaning videos.

How to Clean Everything in Your Bathroom

How to Clean Everything in Your Kitchen

Livingroom Cleaning Routine

How to Clean Everything in Your Bedroom

Now these resources are not the end-all-be-all, but I think if you don’t know much about cleaning your space this is a good way to start.

thumperdaetime

here’s some of the things that are helping me actually clean (as an adult who had messy parents, and has a hard time getting threw my nurodivergency about cleaning specifically) that may be helpful to you:

Favorite Cleaning Book: it helps you work through the emotional side of cleaning (and other care tasks)

Current Favorite Decluttering Method/Concept: it helps you know how much is too much to keep and how to get started when you’re overwhelmed. (having too much stuff makes it incredibly hard to clean/organize.)

Basic Cleaning Skills: this channel is amazing! this man has a special interest in cleaning and cleans people’s spaces who deal nurodivergence that make it hard to clean. he does this for free (or at a deficit because he pays for supplies and dumpsters and transport and such) and does it all with empathy and kindness working With the people as much as people can handle instead of just coming in to “fix” an issue. these videos are a bit different from his usual ones, (the last one’s most like his usual videos) but i find having the sped up cleaning videos with a voiceover can help fill in for body doubling when im too ashamed to bring people into my messy spaces.

I’m gonna queue this as well so you’ll be seeing it again from me in a few months without any comments on it, but this is all good things to know

How I Paint Grapes! 🍇

NASA released the clearest pictures yet of our neighbours in the solar system

Oh and of course us

Honourable mention

quortknee

HIII so while all these images are super cool, they are mostly false colour views and/or highly edited and colour corrected. Labelling these images as the “clearest pictures yet” is incredibly misleading to the public (classic), and saying that NASA did so is (somewhat) wrong. The closest to what is actually visible to the human eye from this photo set are Uranus and Saturn. Here's some more information on each image with sources:

1. Mercury

The Mercury image is a false colour image from NASA's MESSENGER Spacecraft which "enhances the chemical, mineralogical, and physical differences between the rocks that make up Mercury's surface." (quoted from NASA Goddard, the first link) More information on the Mercury photo can be found here, and here (where you can also see a closer true colour image in comparison).

Direct quote from NASA Goddard on the Mercury image above (The first link. Also there's also a really cool composite gif of the planet spinning in false colour if you keep looking through their posts); "These colors are not what Mercury would look like to the human eye"

2. Venus

The Venus image is a highly edited and flipped version of a false colour image from JAXA (Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency AKA not NASA)'s AKATSUKI spacecraft. The original false colour image can be found here. You can find more information on AKATSUKI here, other images of Venus from AKATSUKI here, and a closer true colour image from NASA's MESSENGER Spacecraft here (she's shy, ok?).

3. Mars

This Mars image is from NASA and can be found in the background here. You can view a multitude of Mars images here, here (more Mars resources), and here (rover images) at your leisure. You can find a closer true colour image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope here. Also here's a cute image of a crater on Mars from NASA from Valentine's Day in 2000.

4. Jupiter (my baby)

This Jupiter image is from NASA's Juno Mission, and has been edited/colour corrected in post. You can see raws and public submissions from the JunoCam here. You can find a photo journal of images taken by JunoCam here. Some interesting articles from NASA with photos on Jupiter/the Juno Mission can be found here and here. A closer to true colour image can be found here from NASA's Cassini Mission.

5. Saturn

This Saturn image is from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, and shows an aurora on the Southern Pole of Saturn, partially caused by its magnetosphere. You can find more information on said magnetosphere here, where said image is showcased as well (though the primary focus is on NASA's Cassini Mission's findings). You can find a photo journal of images taken of Saturn and one of its moons, Titan, by both Hubble and Cassini here. This image is one of the closer to true colour of the others, but here's another cool image of a closer to true colour visual of Saturn's rings alongside one of its moons, Tethys.

6. Uranus

This Uranus image is from NASA's Voyager 2 Mission back in the 80's! You can find out more about Voyager 2's journey to Uranus here. This image is also one of the closer to true colour images, but would be somewhat less saturated. You can find a true colour comparison here, both images from Voyager 2. Also here's a link with some facts about Uranus from NASA.

7. Neptune

This image of Neptune is also from NASA's Voyager 2 Mission, and can be found with more information here. You can learn more about Voyager 2's journey to Neptune here. You can find some more images of Neptune here. Neptune's true colour visual is closer to Uranus', as it is much less saturated and more green-toned to the human eye. A good example of this can be found here from this article.

8. Earth and Pluto

I'm combining these two because I'm just going to be linking some other pictures of them both and some interesting facts.

More images of Earth can be found here and here. You can find some cool info on my favourite image of Earth to date (thank you Voyager 1) here as well.

More images of Pluto can be found here, as well as some cool info here. Also here's a cool documentary from NASA on Pluto, the Kuiper Belt, and NASA's New Horizons Mission.

A note to end on- false colour images are not misleading or wrong themselves. In fact, they are incredibly important, informative, and cool to look at! People continually spreading misinformation is what is wrong. Ok thank you bye!!

what ppl defending kids on ipads don’t seem to understand is that there are other ways to keep kids occupied. my mom had a whole bag full of little toys and games for me to play with while waiting in lines at disney world. once your kid is like 7 or 8 they can read a book. they can color. or they can literally just sit there and imagine things. i did that a lot as a kid.

spirulin4

thanks for putting your wrong and bad commentary in the tags where i still have to read all of it. most of what you said is untrue.

imyselfamstrange

OP: giving children too young to process things so much access to ipads isn’t good for them maybe.

People in the notes: So you hate moms??? You’re ableist?? You think we should go back to the Dark Ages?? (My personal favorite because it makes no sense) you’re poor shaming??

Why is it so difficult to explain that children not developing fine motor skills and losing their attention spans is bad actually??

purplesweetpotatoes

also children can end up being entertained by just about anything. I remember building "bird nests" with sticks in the backyard when I was like 7 years old. That was it. It took up my whole afternoon and I was entertained the entire time.

atomicjellycat

I worked at a kindergarten for a year, and Jesus Christ these kids are falling behind on so many milestones

Everyone knows who the iPad kids are

I've seen it all from kids who don't know how to use scissors, and can't perform the motions right compared to other kids in that age group, to kids who can't write the alphabet or spell their names (the older ones)

And one of the most startling thing I encountered was every now and then we have a country day, where we choose a country, color in the country's flag in the colors and watch a little film about said country.

And I was overseeing the coloring, and one boy just refusing to color

It happens, stubbornness, bad days, 'just don't wanna' s happen, but I sit with him and continue to try and encourage him and figure out why he doesn't want to

And he keeps saying he doesn't know how to color

And I'm like ??? Just pick up the pencil and put it on the paper buddy, cmon

So I'm showing him how, and he refuses to try over and over

So then I try like, coloring while guiding his hand, and again this is a flag were coloring it's a giant rectangle, not much precision is needed

And I realize while I'm helping him, literally moving his hand to color for him, he's CLEARLY never colored before. He's 4, there is no excuse for this when kids start coloring at like, 2 maybe younger.

By 4-5 kids can generally color inside the lines well enough and draw recognizable figures like people and landscapes and pets

Eventually he got into it, understood how to do it and requested to continue on by himself, which was great! I told him I was proud of him and we continued on with our day but it absolutely shocked me that these iPad kids are so beyond stunted like jesus

He didn't know how to grip a pencil, he didn't know the wrist movements and motions, he didn't understand the pressure control, he had no control over where or how he was coloring like, these kids NEED TO learn these things it's STARTLING how many kids don't have these milestones and are just not developing these fine motor skills

Ask any kindergarten attendant and they'll tell you the same thing-

The best thing you can do for a kid is buy them a shitton of construction paper, decorative child-safe scissors, and coloring books

Please please please kids need to cut paper up and color. It helps them develop so many fine motor skils

Now don't be mistaken, the percentage of these kids are low, for now. It's definitely not every kid, and thankfully not the majority but it is still a problem

theclockwitch

What you're going to start seeing is a social class stratification of this.

I was at an MVA call--car into a powerline. Three kids, 9, 5, and 2 years old, trapped in the back of a car, crushed against a pole, live lines on the car. Meaning they were fine as long as they stayed inside but we couldn't cut the car open until the power company came and killed the line.

It took about a half an hour. We were all losing our MINDS thinking about three kids who had just been in a significant car accident, unknown injuries, trapped in a car without their mom, and all these strange noises and people around them. We thought these kids would be terrified.

Nope. All three of them were on devices watching videos. Like they didn't even register what had happened or the danger they'd been in or why people were so worried, or even THAT we were worried.

The most distress I saw the kids in as we drove the 30 minutes to the peds hospital? Was when the 2 year old's device's battery died. She went from sitting unnaturally quietly staring at Cocomelon to SCREAMING and throwing things and biting anyone. She only calmed down when her older brother agreed to share his device with her.

It was spooky af, man.

The mom thought she was doing a great job bc her kids were 'so well behaved'. To this day I wonder about kids who cannot process anything other than visual dopamine. How are they going to do in school? Sure? But how about their social development? How are they going to have friends? Boyfriends? Girlfriends? Anything?
