to anyone in the areas impacted by the wildfire smoke, my #1 biggest piece of advice as someone whos been dealing with wildfire smoke in the NW united states for years, is build yourself a Corsi-Rosenthal Cube
they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
i think it took us maybe a half hour to put ours together, if that, and we replace the filters every 3 months. it's really made a HUGE difference, both when the air quality is bad, but also with our allergies
Saw these easy to read instructions on Twitter. Stay safe đ
Also just a handy, DIY air filter in general, if a bit bulky. For a less bulky and cheaper (but also less effective) solution, you can simply tape one filter to the fan, cut a shroud if you'd like.
just FYI, this is quite literally what the climate scientists at my work who specialized in wildfire smoke impacts recommend. it works great, it's cheap to make, and it will make a noticeable impact on your air quality.
i have asthma & keep one of these running in my room perpetually. after I set it up the difference in my sleep quality was pretty much night and day. Dont waste your time on proprietary air filters; SIMPLY bust out the duct tape
we gotta get back to torrent distribution, i just watched someone eat eight grand in bandwidth charges because they ran a direct-download piracy site with local file hosting through cloudflare. torrents were invented literally for this exact reason
torrents work like this
i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3
unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it
i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map
i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs
this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.
crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
please learn to torrent
An expert guide to get started using torrentsTorrents are one of the most popular forms of file sharing on the internet, accounting for over
always use qbittorrent, do not use bitorrent or utorrent.
"Omg, I love these! They go up to size 6X AND they have pockets?! Wow!! But do you have anything longer?"
Sure do, no problem!!
"YES these are great!!! But what about.. longer?"
I gotcha!! Comin' right up!
"Now that's what I'm talkin' about! But... how about if I'm feeling like it's the kinda day where I need my clothing to be bifurcated???"

there's a new harry potter video game coming out. jkr was not involved, but that doesn't mean we should stop criticising her, or that we should stop criticising the game. we do, however, need to be precise.
it is very important to me to criticise jkr, but also to be accurate about what she did and didn't do or say. for instance, she did not say hermione was black all along; she said she approved casting a black actor to play her. (this one is conjecture but) she didn't retcon dumbledore being gay; that was basically the first 'revelation' post-septalogy of something that hadn't been mentioned, literally years before she started obviously retconning stuff in to fill in the gaps or address fan questions or out of boredom or whatever. she didn't write about a race of big-nosed bankers; she wrote about a short, 'swarthy', oppressed-and-yet-also-unfairly-powerful, not-permitted-to-do-jobs-other-than-finance-but-then-resented-for-being-involved-in-finance, stereotypically 'bloodthirsty' race that speaks a 'guttural' language and is believed by prominent equality activists to not need allies because they're 'clever' enough to defend themselves and probably also align themselves with the fascists who hate them. (this stuff is a mixture of antisemitic conspiracy theories/stereotypes & actual legit things that have happened to jews, but a lot of people aren't informed enough about antisemitism to recognise that.) the filmmakers took all that in and went 'ah, yes, clearly this is the nose tribeâ˘, let's put that in our character design.' she didn't randomly invent a single jewish character when confronted about the lack of jewish people; there is literally photographic evidence of anthony goldstein being a character from the very beginning, plus he is in the books, albeit not mentioned to be jewish. she didn't say there was a magen david on the floor of gringotts bank; the filmmakers chose to use a building that had that floor pattern as their set for gringotts, which is super fucked up. she didn't write one single irish character who wants to drink alcohol from a young age and blows things up all the time; that was a single joke that the filmmakers decided to turn into a years-long running gag.
she did create a world where you're supposed to be against bigotry, and yet the reasons behind the bigotry are actually objectively true. werewolves are objectively dangerous and lycanthropy is objectively harmful to the sufferer. trolls and giants are violent and fundamentally lack the mental capacity to understand why violence is bad. goblins do control the economy and hoard their literal and metaphorical wealth. house-elves want to remain enslaved despite the abuse they suffer. the list goes on.
i genuinely think this came primarily from ignorance. she had a bunch of unchecked prejudices, and like many self-proclaimed allies, did not pay enough attention to oppressed groups to understand what they actually need from allies. (for instance, based on things she's declared publicly, she honestly believes she is an ally to jews.) she naĂŻvely believed herself to be progressive and open-minded, and when it was explained to her that this was not the case, it made her uncomfortable and she rejected the information instead of taking it in.
this is speculative, but i also don't think that she was secretly a massive transphobe all along. the progress of her transphobia is pretty clearly identifiable as a process of radicalisation as she doubled down and learned new rhetoric to justify her pre-existing prejudices. it is indeed disgusting, and she has actively contributed to the persecution of trans people both in the uk and in other countries.
people who defend her believe that people who criticise her are spreading misinformation. don't confirm that belief for them. the things she actually has said and done are bad enough.
#i hate jkr with a burning passion#i hate that her fucked up believes have an actual influence on uk politics#and that they lead to the lives of trans people being actively made worse#i never want to defend her#but i also hate the spread of misinformation#especially since people seem to become more and more allergic to fact checking#and i think that flinging around false information undermines the credibility of the stuff she did and said that she should be judged for#and there is a lot of that#fuck jkr (via @autumncalls)
A few months back, I read about a study that found that people who were told to regularly think about things theyâre grateful for reported significantly improved physical and mental well-being at the end of the study. So I started going for a walk every day before work and making myself come up with 5 things that Iâm grateful for. And I know it sounds like the most cornball shit ever, but it has fundamentally changed my brain chemistry.
I was aware that I was becoming a little bit too much of a sarcastic little hater before I started this experiment. Now I am almost startled to catch myself saying shit like, âWow, look at the flowers on that tree, I am so grateful I decided to walk this way,â unironically, completely unprompted, and outside of the specific time in the day when I do the gratitude practice. Iâve rewired my brain to look for things to be grateful for, and so I look around me more and find more of them, which makes me feel happier, which makes me find even more good things.
For the record, Iâm not saying, âOnly think positive thoughts! No bad vibes!â Toxic positivity is probably about as unhealthy as only thinking negative thoughts. Sometimes shit does just suck. Iâm not telling you to be grateful for the bad things around you. Being a sarcastic little hater definitely has its place. But setting aside like 2 minutes per day to come up with 5 things youâre grateful for will genuinely improve your outlook. It doesnât have to be big stuffâsometimes the best I can manage is simple shit like, âIâm grateful that zippers were invented,â but even that forces me to be in the present moment and deepens my appreciation of the world around me. Try it, even if you have to do it badly or sarcastically at first. Even if you only do it so that you can come back and tell me Iâm wrong in 3 months. Set a daily alarm on your phone and give it a try.
The "Might as Well" principle for people with ADHD means leaning into your urge to take care of needs immediately when you notice them, and take that task-hopping tendency as an opportunity to "clean as you go".
You were probably raised to think there's only 1 "right" way to be productive. This is false. You don't need to (and honestly you CAN'T) become neurotypical, but you've probably spent a lot of your life striving to achieve success in a neurotypical way. This can be detrimental to your mental health. You have to learn what works best for YOU.
You don't need to feel guilty for not keeping a strict routine and an aesthetically pleasing home. Your goal should be keeping your environment (minimally) livable and safe.
This principle is intended to help with chore struggles, but it can also apply to personal care, and other areas of the ADHD struggle.
Going to the kitchen? Might as well bring as many dishes/cups as you can carry.
Going to the bathroom? Might as well wipe down the counter while you're in there (or for me personally, scoop the litter box while I'm there).
Taking a shower? Might as well scrub the shower walls while you're there (Be safe! I keep a utility sponge nearby for spot cleaning, but I don't use chemicals during my showers).
Forgot to brush your teeth in the morning? Might as well brush after lunch. No need to wait until the next "designated" teeth brushing time at bedtime (minimally, keep some floss picks, tooth wipes, or mouth wash at work/school).
Stuck in decision paralysis in front of the fridge? Might as well hydrate. Drink water!
Mount doom (laundry pile) giving you anxiety? Might as well pick one category, such as shirts, and sort them out. You don't even have to put them all the way away, just separate them so your doom pile looks smaller and less daunting.
Please feel free to add more!!
Waiting for the microwave to beep, or the pasta water to boil? Might as well see if you can get a few dishes done. You canât empty a full sink in two minutes, but you can set the dirty stuff soaking, or wipe and rise some of the stuff that was already soaking.
Sometimes this leads me to actually finish cleaning the kitchen, sometimes it doesnât, either way I have a few less dirty dishes in my life.
This is really the only way I manage to clean the bathroom most of the time.

Watching my toddler figure out how to language is fascinating. Yesterday we were stumped when he kept insisting there was a âLego winnerâ behind his bookshelf - it turned out to be a little Lego trophy cup. Not knowing the word for âtrophyâ, heâd extrapolated a word for âthing you can winâ. And then, just now, he held up his empty milk container and said, âMummy? Itâs not rubbish. Itâs allowed to be a bottle.â - meaning, effectively, âI want this. Donât throw it away.â But to an adult ear, thereâs something quite lovely about âitâs allowed to be a bottle,â as if weâre acknowledging that the object is entitled to keep its title even in the absence of the original function.
Another good post to read for those writing small human characters.Â
My son was about three when he came to me in the middle of the day and said, âMommy, thereâs a knight behind the bush.â I thought he meant a toy knight or something. So I follow him outside and he goes, âListen. Do you hear it? Itâs night behind the bush.â It was a cricket. A cricket was standing in the little patch of shade under the bush, chirping. So, my son saw this dark area with accompanying nighttime sounds and decided, okay, well, that is a night right there. Their brains are incredible.
My little bean knows sheâs two, constantly saying proudly âIâm two!â And the other day she saw this very frail old lady who looked one foot in the grave, pulled a face and said âoh shiiiit. Sheâs three.â I almost screamed.
I live in Korea and have a lot of international friends, and the same is true with language barriers in adults.Â

A guide for your innocent looking garden plants and how to use them as poison (knowledge offered from a secret, undercover source):
Potatoes: You can use the potato fruit (grows from flowers), which looks like a smol green tomato. It is a bit less poisonous than the flower, but also less conspicuous. Both are *very* bitter. USE LOTS OF SAUCE. The poison is alkaloid solanine. List of symptoms:Abdominal Pains Confusion Death Drowsiness Gastroenteritis Hallucination Headache Trembling Vomiting. You need about 5 mg of poison/kg of person to kill. The smol, adorable fruit contains aprox 400mg/kg. THE FLOWERS ARE EVEN MORE CONCENTRATED.
Tomatoes: Tomato greens, while from the same family and with similar toxins, have much lower concentration levels. But also the leaves taste good. So.
Eggplant greens are also from same family, but just delicious, not toxic. Theyâre also very good vegan substitutes for a lot of things.
Bell pepper greens are nice but non-toxic. Actually the only species of the genum who doesnât produce capsaicin (the stuff that makes peppers hot) Theyâre just good gals.
Chili peppers are more fun, but most of them canât kill, and for those who do, you canât exactly play it off as ignorance
Potatoes are abused womenâs friends.

You will need: đď¸Either a green soy wax candle or a white one with a green thread wrapped around it.
đď¸One large spell jar and a few mini vials
đď¸Carrier Oil
đď¸At least two of the following for wealth and success: Alfalfa, almond, cashew, kelp, chamomile, elder, fern, ginger, Grains of paradise, horseshoe Chestnut, jasmine, mint, moss, nutmeg, oats, pecan, pine, bromeliad, cedar, cinnamon, clove, cowslip, flax, galangal, high john, honeysuckle, oak, onion, pea, periwinkle, pineapple, poppy
đď¸At least one of the following for creativity: horse hair (not herb), basil, vanilla, Caraway, celery, clove, horehound, clove, fern, sage, eyebright, lily of the valley, mace, mustard, periwinkle, rhodolia, rue, summer savory, walnut, zedoaria, spearmint
đď¸At least one of the following for attraction: arugula blossoms, Bee Pollen, lingonberry, benzoin, basil, agar agar, honey
đď¸At least one of the following for luck: acorn, allspice, bamboo, bluebell, Daffodil, hazel, Holly, nutmeg, poppy, rose, violet, soybeans, Maple, high john, daisy, red clover, camomile, aloe, cabbage, cotton, moss, oak, straw, dandelion, cinnamon, catnip
đď¸(Optional) any other Abundance ingredients
đď¸A green crystal or one associated with one or more of the above goals
đď¸A small piece of paper and a writing utensil
đď¸A candle-safe plate or tray (edited)
Instructions: On your piece of paper, write, "My work reaches and is seen by a wide audience of those it is intended for. My style is appealing and desirable to those with means to support it. My art instills a wish for personalized pieces and an urge to seek them out. My commissions are easily found and bought by those who will be respectful and kind in the process." Fold it twice towards yourself and place it flat in your jar. This will become the "base" for your oil.
Take your crystal(s) and place them on the paper to increase its energy. Pour the carrier oil slowly on top of the paper, willing the words and intent from it to be absorbed. Close, but do not seal the jar to allow your manifestation to steep.
Lay your herbs in a tight circle and place the candle on top, making sure to charge each ingredient with its correspondence. Light your candle and let it melt completely or until the herbs are all dressed in the wax. Take the wax-covered herbs and place them in your carrier oil. Re-close and swirl it around gently, letting all the ingredients begin to activate. Once your carrier oil has been mixed with the effects of all your ingredients, pour some of it into the small vials. Put these on or near your art supplies and things associated with your craft. Close and seal the "mother" jar and place it near where you sleep to give creativity in dreams and let your work become successful overnight.
(that last bit is a metaphor, btw, the spell will not *actually* work overnight, but if you are already doing what needs to be done and working toward your goal, then your spell will help you and meet you in the middle)
This spell was submitted in the Cobalt Athenaeum Discord server and I am not taking credit for their work, just sharing it so other people may use it as well â¤ď¸

Candle Ritual for removing creative block
Youâll need:
An orange candle for creative energy
A black candle for banishing
Your Empress tarot card for creative energy
Your Death tarot card for releasing
2 pieces of paper
A pen
On one of your pieces of paper, write about your blockage. No need for full sentences or paragraphs, just write down any words that come to mind to describe whatâs blocking you and how it feels. Think things like imposter syndrome, fear, attachment to outcomes, âIâm not good enough,â exhaustion, busyness, etc.
Light your black candle and read your list out loud. Place your list and your Death tarot card underneath the candle. Set the intention for the black candle to absorb all of these blockages from your body and heart, and return them back to the earth from where they came.
Then, take your other piece of paper and write key words about how it feels when youâre in the creative flow. Write the conditions that help you feel most creative. Let those creative feelings wash over you.
Light your orange candle and read this list out loud. Place your list and your Empress tarot card underneath the candle, setting the intention for the orange candle to bring creative, Empress energy to you. Set the intention to be open to receive it.
Let both candles burn all the way down. Then go make something!
