this is probably my favorite tiktok of all time and I finally got around to showing it to my dad the other day and now he comes home every day and tells me about all the places he saw crumbling concrete and says "guess they didn't add enough chinchilla flakes"

it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy that it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect but

yeah. and you can even include "thing that reduces the barrier to doing the task" as a catalyst/enzyme

anyway. unfortunately this does not actually clarify anything for the average person. but #ToMe it works

You know technology literacy is dying because I saw this meme with 76k likes

F11 the full screen button? You’re scared of the full screen button? F10?? It opens the menu bar???

[boybeetles]

Computers are so scary what if I accidentally hit F12 in a steam game and it takes a screenshot. What if I press shift + F12 while in word and accidentally save my document 😖

If you had to learn what the F keys on your computer do through me reblogging this post, then I'm glad you did. Computer literacy is not a skill that gets taught anymore, and it is absolutely one that needs to be taught in order to be learned. Don't ever feel bad for not knowing something, but ☝️ don't ever stop learning learning about your environment, the tools you use, and especially the people around you

Anytime you're interacting with your child, but especially when angry, say to yourself "how would I feel if their future partner treated them the way I am currently treating them?"

You are creating their 'normal'

[mixupmycota]

People need to read the UN Conventions On The Rights Of The Child before becoming parents and regularly while parenting and I am so serious about this.

Everyone SHOULD read it, and it is often a distressing experience to do so. Back in 1929 it was internationally recognized that children in particular needed to have a codified set of rights, it has been improved on since - in many ways it is still not perfect but it needs to be understood that the rights contained within are the BARE MINIMUM.

If any of these are breached - whether on the home scale or on the cultural one, particularly for signatory countries - that is a fundamental issue.

I promise that learning what the established bare minimums are in universal human rights frameworks will enable you to cut through so much propaganda immediately.

Children and teens are full human beings and by becoming parents an immense responsibility is applied to treat them as such. They need open and clear communication, not to be talked down too, and to have their questions answered. They have the right to autonomy and life.

Brine Shrimp (draft) and Crayfish. Interlocking crochet

crochet wonk about post stitches after the cut

it only seems fair to mention that i've been using post stitches (or "around-the-post" sts) extensively in these crustacean samples.

these aren't indicated in the patterns because they're optional (and a whole added layer of complication). kind of a secret menu item, if you will. i try to to describe their use in the "optional/advanced" section of my documentation, but you have a lot of options:

and so far my approach has been to just sort of… list those options and let you sort it out.

Basically (??) when working into any visible outline (Colour A in patterns), it often looks better if you work "around the post" or main shaft of that stitch (or around several stitches, if multiple sts converge), rather than working into front and back loops like you normally would. As a bonus, it's often easier to work this way.

Post stitches bundle up all the messy bits of the last row's st, conceal the "joint" where the two sts connect, and create a raised outline that can improve the clarity of your design.

Post stitches are what make Brine Shrimp's longest legs look so smooth (each one comprises three sts across three rows), but they can have drawbacks:

Post stitches are also why Crayfish's claws are a bit muddy: they make for smooth outlines, but they also add texture and bulk, and they can do funny things to the alignment of the two filet meshes.

You also have to extend dc and dtr (but not tr) stitches by one loop in the base when working around the post to maintain gauge, and it's all just more goddamn things to think about.

ahem

You might want to use a post stitch if:

You are using a lighter weight of yarn for outlines (Colour A) than for backgrounds (Colour B), and your stitches look sloppy where they meet up on the front of the work.

You are extending an existing outline (F/T or diagonal) and don't want a "joint" between line segments.

You want a curved (rather than a sharp) angle between two line segments.

you are working into an existing horizontal outline, and working into both loops makes that line look all scritchy, i.e:

You made a stitch and it made the last row's stitch look ugly
