Day 17: Stake and Bake!

Day 6: Cryptid

So far as I am concerned the spooky season starts now! I want to see pumpkins! I want to see skeletons! I want to see ghosts... but only half way because that's how ghosts work!

To celebrate the soon to arrive autumnal vibes I've drawn some freaky female role models who I love very much.*

Wednesday Addams, Morticia Addams and Debbie Jellinsky! Beautiful, ambitious and very murdersome. We love to see it ❤️

*My love for Debbie is at least 70% because it's Joan Cusack playing her.

How to Clean as an Adult

Growing up, Sundays were the days when my whole family cleaned. Everyone had chores they had to get through. Mine were dusting and cleaning the bathrooms. If I was really unlucky, I also had to water the plants and clean the windows.

Although the whole thing took two hours max, it ruined my day. On the bright side, our house was always spotless. However, when I moved away from home for college, I often avoided going home for weekends. Why? Because I did not want to spend my Sunday morning cleaning.

Having shared my living quarters with quite a few slobs since I can finally appreciate my parents’ cleanliness. While I’m nowhere near as tidy as they are (and, let’s be honest, never will be), I’d like to think that I do have a solid cleaning routine going – which you’ll find below.

I also want to share a few tips and tricks when it comes to cleaning. Turns out, the average American spends almost one full day cleaning a month. Hopefully, the advice below will help you cut down on the amount of housework you actually have to do.

How to clean

You don’t need to clean so long that you turn into a skeleton. Instead, here’s a handy checklist.

Daily

Every other day

Weekly

Monthly

A few times a year

Once a year

Cleaning hacks

Power clean 15 minutes each day. This will prevent clutter. Ideally, you want to designate a “home” for everything you own so that you can put everything back in its proper place during the day (and, most importantly, at the end of the day). Speaking of putting things back, clean in such a way that doesn’t require you to make an even bigger mess, i.e., piles of clothes. Always think: if I stopped in the middle of cleaning, would the room be cleaner or messier?

Clean up as you cook. Wipe the countertop, do the dishes, sweep up… That way, you won’t have to deal with a pile of dirty dishes after dinner. Besides, most of the time, all you have to do when making dinner is stir (depending on the dish, of course), so you can save a lot of time this way. By the way, if you wipe down the stove after every time you use it, you’ll never really need to clean it.

Layer two trash bags in the bin. When you take out the trash, the next bag will already be there. Your future self will thank you.

Use a sink strainer. Or get one immediately if your sink doesn’t have one.A clogged-up sink is no way to start your morning. Also, invest in a suction cup sponge holder – you don’t want your kitchen sponge sitting in gross food water.

Microwave a lemon in water (in a microwave-safe bowl) for up to 5 mins to clean your microwave. Remove the bowl with oven gloves and clean the inside of the microwave. DO NOT microwave water on its own unless you want your microwave to explode.

Keep an open box of soda in the fridge. It’ll absorb any nasty smells from old foods. Remember to change it out once in a while, though.

Boil half a lemon with some vinegar and water in your kettle. This will get rid of at least some of the buildup and freshen the kettle.

Simplify your laundry. For example, if you only have 20 pairs of black socks that are all the same, you won’t ever have to match them. Dumping them in your sock drawer is as far as you’ll have to go when sorting clothes. When folding laundry, fold the largest items first, leaving socks, underwear, and other small items for the very end. That way, it’ll feel like you’re done with laundry faster.

being in stores that look like this and play this kind of music always makes me hyper-aware of aging and the inevitability of death

The Palestine Reader

The following is a collection of articles, essays, and books on Palestine. These are not introduction texts to the question of Palestine or the Palestinain-Israeli “conflict”. If you need one read The Palestine-Israel Conflict by Gregory Harms and Todd Fery. Further, this is not an “unbiased” or “neutral” readng list. Everything listed below is counter-hegemonic. I feel absolutely no need to provide anything from the Zionist or Israeli point-of-view when that is the dominant narrative. With that said, I believe this provides a diverse, but in no means comprehensive, overview of the discourse on Palestine. A continuously updated page of this list can be found here.

I do not think, therefore I do not am.

- René Descaren’t

it’s wild that there are 42,000 people in the middle of the venn diagram of “likes classical philosophy” and “likes surreal memes” but i’m one of ‘em so

i knew in the 2nd grade that standardized testing was bullshit. harry potter book 4 had just come out and i was at a good part. harry had just found out someone put his name into the goblet of fire.

during the standardized test, we were allowed to keep a post-test book on our desk. i diligently got started on part 1: english. at the time, all of the answers went on the same sheet, but all of the questions were in different booklets. so i finish all my english questions, read in my extra time, and then it’s part 2: math.

i realize i have answered all of my english questions on the math portion of the answer sheet. at first, annoyed but undeterred, i’m like. okay great i gotta erase every bubble. but i get bored around question 5 of doing this because… like… harry potter is sitting on my desk and i could just give them the wrong answers. so i answer maybe 10 whole questions in the math portion, copy the english answers over to where they actually belong, and then crack open the book and call it a day.

i obviously failed. this is the real life, not a movie. my parents were called in. i had scored in the lowest percentile. i was bad at math. i was concerningly bad at math. i could have done better just guessing than how i did with the english answers. 

if this was just a funny story, someone would ask me “why did you do so badly when you usually get fairly average grades” and i would have said “i wanted to read harry potter, not take this stupid test.” but it’s the real life, and nobody asked. instead, i was branded stupid and bad at math. i got placed in a lower math than i needed to be in; got bored, stopped paying attention. knew i was in the “worst at math” group, started saying “i’m bad at math” and 100% stopped trying because the further i fell behind, the worse i got. through the rest of my academic career - until senior year in high school, i never got above a c on a math test, because i was “just bad” at math.

i had undiagnosed adhd. the only reason i know now i have adhd is because at 22 years old, i finally went to a therapist, who effectively said, “are you kidding me you have the most obvious case of attention deficit i’ve ever seen.”

but nobody had been looking. my one test grade had given teachers permission to not look, because, obviously, i was bad at math. the one time i got 100% on a math test - that one time in senior year - i remember my math teacher looking at it and saying “it’s clear that if you just focused, you could do the work.”

in college i’d take a math class and i actually “just focused” for the first time in my life - meaning i treated math as a challenge, but one i could overcome with the skills i’d learned all on my own, through constant work and practice. i got the highest grade in my class. i still think i’m bad at math. 

which makes me wonder: how many people got fucked over because of something stupid like “i was too preoccupied with harry potter”. who had nobody looking out for them. who slipped under the radar because - come on, aren’t some people just bad at things?

Even without the added difficulty of adhd, children get distracted. 

This shouldn’t determine their whole life.
