Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil

[tramampoline]

its so wild like “this generation with no fucking money is learning to prioritize essentials” and all these chucklefucks can write is advertisements for these companies

at least our jeans won’t tear at the seams after two washes

FUCK FABRIC SOFTENER IT’S UTTERLY POINTLESS

AND FUCK DRYER SHEETS LITERALLY NOBODY EVER HAS ENOUGH OF A PROBLEM WITH STATIC TO WARRANT PAYING OUT THE ASS FOR THAT SHIT

DO YOU WANT CLEAN CLOTHES? YOU DON’T EVEN NEED TO BUY FUCKING DETERGENT JUST MAKE YOUR OWN* IT’S SO GODDAMN EASY AND 80X CHEAPER

FUCK THE ENTIRE LAUNDRY INDUSTRY *Fuck The Entire Laundry Industry Recipe

1 cup Washing Soda (not Baking Soda. Different things.)

1 cup Borax (not Boric Acid. Also a different thing.)

½ cup - 1 cup grated bar soap (you can use literally anything. I often use Ivory because it’s easy to get and I find it works well, a lot of people like Fels-Naptha, which is an actual laundry bar. Some people use Dr. Bronner’s. Really does not fucking matter.) After grating your soap, combine all ingredients. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Use maybe a ¼ cup per load.

[madsciences]

^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent

[ghostoftwentysomethingspast]

WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!

[legallynonbinary]

Also you can MAKE your own washing soda very VERY cheaply.

Step one: acquire $5 bag of baking soda from Costco.

Step two: lay that motherfucking baking soda out on a baking tray.

Step three: bake the baking soda on a tray in an oven at 400° for 1 hour (to make the moisture evaporate, leaving washing soda)

Step four: revel in how easy and cheap it is to make your own washing soda, and maybe take a moment to be angry that the industry upcharges the fuck out of something that is so easy to make.

[legallynonbinary]

I see some of y'all complaining about static and/or wanting nice smelling laundry. Go to a craft store, find 100% wool yarn balls. If it doesn’t come in a ball, ask an employee to make it into a tight ball for you. Wash in the washing machine to make it felted. Remove from washer, add a few drops of essential oil to the ball, allow to seep in. Dry with clothing. Doesn’t need to be rewashed ever, and if it stops smelling, add few more drops of essential oil. Bam, reusable dryer sheets.

theres a rape joke in the fucking new video more clear than the last you keep that fucking bullshit off my dash im not even joking right now i wont hesitate

[deletingadsfhkjdhflkdjsf-deacti]

white people trying to distract from the realities of africas suffering: “HGSJSDJ THE NEW :HISTORY OF” VIDEO HAS A RAPE JOKE. DONT WATCH IT”

yall literally went to africa and raped people. thats not a joke, its what yall did. shut up.

[yawntyy-deactivated20211113]

It was LITERALLY a rape of Africa- Europeans raped several cultures and countries. They went in, destroying culture dynamics, exterminated tribes, stole and raped and murdered and plundered and did everything disgusting and terrible.

I’m glad he called it for what it was. It wasn’t a fuckin joke m8.

[pyrrhiccomedy]

This isn’t even him going out on a limb with his phrasing. This part of history is commonly, academically referred to as “the rape of Africa,” like “the rape of Nanking” or “the rape of Belgium.” That’s just…what it’s called.

[wizzard890]

he’s–making a reference to the academic concept. this isn’t your college buddy saying he got “totally raped” playing Halo last night, “the rape of Africa” is a phrase used in the explicit discussion of imperialist atrocities. a quick google will pull up everything from anti-colonialist art to books on King Leopold II’s crimes in the Congo; this information is literally at your fingertips, don’t start a witch hunt because you didn’t take the time to do a goddamn internet search.

I HIGHY AGREE WITH THIS

Shoutout to autistics who experience emotions intensely

To the autistics who cry over “little things”

To the autistics who get so happy they flap and bounce and squee

To the autistics who have to work so hard to control their anger or who can’t

To the autistics who don’t know what they’re feeling but feel it strongly

To the autistics who have panic attacks easily

To the autistics who are “over emotional”, “too sensitive”, “weird”, or “irrational”

You experience the world intensely and the ways you react to that are valid. There’s nothing wrong with reacting to emotions as long as you don’t hurt others. You are not too sensitive or too emotional, you are exactly as you should be and that is valid and that is good.

Live authentically

Live radically

Live autisticly
