The God that decided the world needs sunsets and sunrises and the moon and starry nights and oceans and beaches and puppies is the same God that made me and said “the world needs one of these too.”
And that’s just the coolest thing.

day 1 of playing skyrim with a mouse, i have died within five minutes
I just think it's impressive that you found a mouse who can play skyrim in the first place.
yeah he hides under my hat and controls me via my hair, but you can't tell anyone
i am going to slaughter whoever brought this back
Weirdly anti-millennial articles have scraped the bottom of the barrel so hard that they are now two feet down into the topsoil
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.
^^^ I’ve done this for years now and it works as well as any store bought detergent
WHAT Thank you, tumblr user awfullydull! Your URL does no justice to the good advice you give!
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.
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.
I love this post so much it’s filled with helpful advice, hatred, saving money, and fucking the system all in one
FUUUUUUUCK THE SY-YSTEM
Also, there are very few general stain removers as good as using a little bit of dishwashing soap. It has to be a _soap_, though, like blue Dawn or Joy.
A good, cheap trick I know of for getting oil stains out is to rub them with chalk (yeah, plain white chalk) and let it sit – you will see the chalk soak up the oil if you check like a day later. Sometimes you have to repeat the treatment after you wash the chalk out, but it’s better than having to replace the clothing.
(Carbona brand specialty stain removers are very good for their specialties, fwiw, but for like 90% of stains a bottle of blue Dawn and a piece of chalk will do everything you need. Carbona has specialized ones for particular very difficult stains including wine, ink, and oil – the oil one is helpful when the chalk can’t work far enough into the weave of the fabric.)
Also! One cup of vinegar dumped right into the washing machine on top of your clothes helps them get cleaner, no matter what other products you’re using!
Do not use vinegar if you’re also using bleach though. You could create chlorine gas which is very dangerous if you breathe it.
Please pray for Denise and her family. We just found out she has stage 4 cancer spread to her lungs.
what, and I cannot stress this enough, the fuck
fuck whatever fake-ass feral aesthetic you guys are cultivating, this guy has it on lock
Don’t forget about this one.
It gets weirder…
Disney doesn’t practice what they preach but they’ve been doing some good preaching lately. Although I still wish that as an entertainment company they prioritized the quality of their entertainment rather than be in the “preaching” business at all.
SECRET INVASION SPOILER
But this week when Rhodey said that they didn’t wrestle power away from unqualified people who don’t look like them to hand it over to unqualified people who do, I literally had to sit back and go “that is super ironic.”
Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.
I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.
Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.
This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.
My last job as a [redacted] technician didn’t technically require me to be certified. My boss is allowed a certain number of uncertified technicians and I didn’t want to put in the time, effort, and money. When I was hired I made sure it was in my contract that it was not mandatory for me to be certified.
A couple of years later he starts telling us certifications are mandatory. The rules haven’t changed, he’s just making them mandatory. Legally he’s still allowed to have the uncertified techs but he just doesn’t want to because it’ll make his company look better to have an all certified staff. But the certification should be covered by the company and come with a raise so I start studying for the exam.
Turns out, I’m really bad at math and my practice exams don’t bode well. My boss pulls me aside one day and goes
“When are you doing the certification?”
“Not for a little while since I’m clearly not ready.”
“Why not?”
“They’re asking questions about work I don’t normally do and I have to study.”
“Well what’s taking so long?”
“It’s a lot to study and I don’t have that much time. I still have a long way to go.”
“When do you think you’ll be ready?”
“Probably by the end of the year.” (It was the end of June.)
“Nuh uh. You’re gonna be certified by the end of the month.” (It was the END of June.)
“That’s like the end of the week.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m not gonna be ready.”
“Why not?”
“Because on my last practice exam I got a 40.”
“You’re supposed to be smart.”
“I wasn’t that good at the math part.”
“You’re Asian aren’t you supposed to be good at that?”
(Now actively steering the conversation in a different direction) “I’m not paying the exam fees to fail this exam and then pay them again when I have to retake it. Are you paying for it?” (He did not reimburse my coworkers for their exam fees.)
“Well I pay you.”
(Completely ignoring the fact that he thinks he’s paying to own me and my time and that he barely pays me enough ON THE CLOCK to cover my bills and that none of my coworkers received their raise after becoming certified) “So I have to be certified by the end of the month?”
“Yeah.”
“Well then I’m leaving at the end of the month.”
To this day he still asks if I want to come back.
