I love the new timestamp feature. Instantly see that it did indeed take nearly a month to reply.

This is one of my absolute favourite books! I got it from the "books we're giving away for free" pile at the university library (which is a reliable repository of insane hidden gems) and lost the rest of the day to it. It's very funny but also a genuinely great introduction to materials science and manufacturing and really does remind you of just how intricate and interconnected to the entire rest of the world and humanity every single object around you is. It also gives you a lot of respect for not just modern manufacturing processes but also ancient ones, and the sheer amount of human labour that went into creating useful objects for most of human history.

Interesting hobby

Im gonna shill for Marie Kondo again but this is why I find her books (yes, books, the TV show is fun but ultimately misses a lot of the core ideas) so good.

A lot of home org advice fully misses this aspect. Kondo not only acknowledges it, but leans into it. And ultimately this helps motivste me to keep my space tidy - it's really hard to me to keep on the nebulous goal of self-care, but much easier to get up and put things away if I envision my salt and pepper grinders as like, retail workers who are now standing in an empty shop (my dining table) and just wanna go home (the spice rack where they live).

Normie tidying process: that heater should be put away for summer! I mean, I'm not gonna need it

Me: well it's just chilling and also I can't be arsed.

Kondo: that heater has done a good job keeping you warm over winter and now it should get to go have a rest in the cupboard

Me: !! Sabbatical for my heater!! Thank you for your service sir and have a very nice break!

just saw a tiktok or something where the person was saying they did this and they were on a hike and they were like "i managed to get myself to go on this hike because i promised my boots we would go" and its like. OH YEAH. THAT.

Kondo's book was also revolutionary in its advice to express gratitude to your objects before letting them go, which takes advantage of the same mental impulse. Thanking the objects both a) clarifies their function and use to you, so you can be more confident in whether throwing them out or keeping them is the correct choice and b) reduces the guilt associated with throwing them out by giving them acknowledgement and closure.

Now thats a good puppeteer!

This joke got no reaction at all on Facebook so I'm sharing it here where it'll be appreciated

obsessed with the fact that naked mole rats seem to have a whole caste of special little guy whose job it is to be really fat, horny, unhelpful, and disgusted by incest

guy whose social role is to say “I fucking hate it here, I don’t respect literally any of you people” somehow so much funnier in a mammal than a bug

Let’s make a lasagna (and argue about things in the notes)

And that’s as far down the lasagna as it will let me go. Pretend there’s at least more veggies & sauce below that.

I realize that a noodle layer right under the top mozzarella layer is unconventional, but don’t knock it til you try it. Cheese right on pasta, it’s my favorite part of the lasagna.

I’m so turning off the notifs on this one, I can’t even imagine how vicious people can get about lasagna ingredients.

i need people do do me a favor and be absolutely normal about it

i have a completely normal coworker who does music and stuff and its good music and i want to send my army of followers to his video on yt and just +like it or something. something to boost him in the algorithm

the issue is no one can let him know this second life i live on the internet because if he finds out i have 25k followers on tumblr or 10k on twitter etc then the questions will flow and i will not be prepared for the conversation about werewolves that follows

Ok heres the video, just +like it and if you want to comment just say you're from reddit or facebook or somewhere

If someone DOES want to share it to reddit that'd be awesome and I'd love you but I dont have an active account there

Just enjoy the music yall. Its honestly really good if you like some classic sounding R&B. The man's voice reminds me of usher to some extent with a little more gravel. Its honestly just sex. Its really really good and he only have 114 subs and the video only has like 90ish likes or something. Honestly its sad. He sounds amazing.

Yes!! Hes REALLY good and his music is giving 90's RnB. It's fantastic and his voice is great and I really want him to blow up

Also here's his Spotify for those of you wanting to add it to your likes and your playlists

this is making me so happy im so proud of you guys i literally dont have words

He's been visited by an angel. 💙

COD lobbies are toxic af, but lawd these are some good ones

the thing they dont tell you about working with little kids is it wrecks your vocabulary. you hear a kid phrase something bizarrely in a way only a 5 year old can and now any time you lose shit youre like "it dissed appear"

every time someone tells me to be careful, in my head i repeat what one of my kids said as a small child.

i AM be carefulling.
