ok so this is another long shot but a few years ago there was a twitter post (in japanese i think?) that had measurememts for how to make this book stand thing out of cardboard that you could use to double up books and use up more space on shelves

back then i made a bunch of these but by now i lost the pic and dont know how to find the original post anymore

if it comes down to it i can just take one apart and get the measurements from there but i would be very grateful if anyone happens to have the original post or something similar??

don't mind how long it's been since i made this post, anyway i realized that i don't even need to take one apart to get the measurements when i can literally just unfold it and refold it /FACEPALM

so anyway here is the diagram for anyone else who is interested!!

this requires pretty big carboard pieces, if you have a really big box or something you can make it from one piece, but if you don't, you can also just make each of the pieces individually and then tape them together

and then in the end you put it together like this!!

and then when you make a bunch you can put them all next to each other and stack your books like crazy

EVERYONE START GETTING MORE USE OUT OF YOUR SPACE NOW!!!!

A routine bus trip from New York City to D.C. took a harrowing turn for passengers last night (Monday) when the driver reportedly decided to

I feel like adding a little addition here because the OP got the funniest possible e-mail after this

prudencepaccard

oop's experience was obviously crazier but this made me dig out the e-mail I sent to Greyhound customer service in 2012: "I would like to report my driver for abusive conduct and possible endangerment of passengers.

Unfortunately I do not remember his name, and I am no longer able to view my e-ticket, so I cannot give you my bus number or confirmation number. However, I think my e-ticket may be in your records. I boarded an Express bus from Chicago (the terminal at 630 W Harrison St) to Minneapolis (the terminal at 950 Hawthorne Ave) on Saturday, January 21. My ticket was for 11:30 am, but due to delays we did not board until 12:30 pm. About an hour after we had made our meal stop in Tomah, Wisconsin, the driver suddenly pulled over to the side of the interstate. The road was busy, it was dark, the weather was cold, and we did not appear to be near any exits. After pulling over, the driver confronted a passenger for smoking in the lavatory. He then threatened to expel the passenger (who was not a native English speaker) from the bus. He appeared serious, opening the door of the bus and ordering the man to collect his belongings and leave. When I tried to persuade the driver not to throw the man off the bus because he could be injured or killed (by traffic, exposure, etc.), he threatened to eject me from the bus as well, where I and the other passenger would presumably have been stranded along the side of the dark freeway in the freezing cold. He eventually relented when the other passengers protested.

The driver displayed other instances of erratic and abusive behavior during the trip, but this was the most serious. Not only did he threaten to eject two passengers who were not a danger to themselves or others (one for smoking in the lavatory, the other for attempting to intercede in the expulsion of the first), but the threatened ejection was not at a lighted exit or rest stop where we would have been able to safely find shelter and a means of transport, but rather at the side of a busy interstate, at night, in winter. Thank you for your time." Not included in the e-mail was the fact that the driver addressed the smoking guy as "Somalian" and made a nonsensical attempt at mocking me over the PA when we were pulling into the station at Minneapolis. Exact words were "and to the lady who was defending him, I wouldn't want to have you as my lawyer, because that guy was guilty!" (???? you wouldn't want legal representation if you were guilty????)

this steller’s jay was spotted in california. normally, steller’s jays have a deep blue body, with a black head and neck. this bird has leucism, a genetic mutation that causes a reduction in pigments. it can present in many different ways; some birds have white patches and a ‘pied’ look, while others look faded like this bird. x

"average Hellenistic warlord named three cities after himself" factoid actually just statistical error. the median Hellenistic warlord named one city after himself. Alexander III of Macedon, noted disaster bisexual and conqueror of the Achaemenid Empire, was an outlier and should not be counted.

went to my best friend’s house last night and saw a little plushie dog and plushie cat that had been sewn together down the middle into a two-headed chimera. I said, “did you do that?” she said, “yes, I saved them.”

turns out at her old job when the last two plushies hadn’t sold and became deadstock, her boss told her to cut them up and throw them out. so she cut them each in half, preserved their heads, and then rebuilt them together.

cannot stop thinking about the way these little plushies were approached with the instinct of a Vampire or some sort of ancient god. “Let me save you [turn you into a monster].”

The fact that the beheading was at the order of a superior, and the solution was to create some sort of monster of disobediance to the letter of the law instead of just lying and saving them adds a certain mythological resonance.
