The key to a balanced diet is three servings of #executive dysfunction, one plate of #art, and four glasses of Tide Pod juice.

Do not blame me for who I am. The doctor prescribed me 20 mL of #kingkiller chronicle twice a day.

Interesting interaction on Facebook today.

In one of my quilt groups a member posted some pictures of how she made ruffled aprons for her granddaughters, and then was stumped on what to make for her grandsons. Oh, she thought, custom pillows!

Gentle reader, I saw red. The backstory here is that quilters are overwhelmingly white retired women, and they (or at least the ones who join FB quilting groups) tend to have some VERY old-fashioned views on men and women and girls and boys. (Lots of posts like "what ideas do you have for boy quilts?" and the comments will be full of pictures of quilts with tractors on them.) So I thought, I guess the message here is that girls are supposed to be working in the kitchen while the boys lounge around on their fancy pillows waiting to be served. I was ready to let her have it in the comments and risk getting booted from the group. But first I looked in the comments to see how the post was being received.

I was blown away by the comments. Comment after comment saying things like, "those are lovely, I make aprons for all my grandsons and they love to wear them when they help out in the kitchen!" "I made custom aprons for all my sons, and then more for their sons when they got old enough! They all love them!"

Then, after all these comments, here comes OP with one of her own: "I think next year I'll make custom pillows for my granddaughters and ruffled aprons for my grandsons." My comment: "That's a great idea!"

Sometimes people surprise you.

And sometimes people just need a little nudge, not a flamethrower.

You all need to hear this:

1. You probably dont suck at your craft as much as you think you do, I bet a lot of people are amazed at what you can make, and

2. If you actually are the Literal Worst In The Whole Wide World at your craft... who the fuck cares? What are they gonna do, call the police on you? Keep making your shitty little things, youre the boss of you, fuck the haters.

You've gotta love Jews more than you hate Nazis.

You've gotta love trans folks more than you hate TERFs.

You've gotta love your unhoused neighbors more than you hate the billionaires.

You've gotta love immigrants more than you hate ICE.

You've gotta love queer kids more than you hate christian fundamentalists.

You've gotta love fat people more than you hate the diet industry.

You've gotta love disabled people more than you hate the insurance companies.

You've gotta love your fellow humans more than you hate the worst that humanity has to offer. You don't have to like every person you're fighting for, and you sure as hell don't have to give up your righteous anger, but hate is ultimately corrosive.

You've gotta love.

Say you want to make a map of the US. Like, you want to color in a map of the US to indicate certain properties like income or elevation or whatever. So you go online and find a map to color in. And there's never a perfect one. There's always something difficult about each one. I got sick of that shit and made a map without the problems that have been driving me insane for years. Presenting, my maximally manipulable US map!

This map doesn't show anything in particular but exists for you to use it to show whatever you need to, with minimal headaches! As the name says, its goal is to be manipulable.

Features:

Crisp lines, solid colors, easy to fill in with the paint bucket

Clearly labeled with postal abbreviations

Labels do not touch each other or borders

State labels are unaffected by the paint bucket hitting the surrounding land, so you don't need to fill in holes in letters

State labels can be removed and replaced with whatever you need

No tiny land masses that you miss with the paint bucket, most states can be filled with one paint bucket and the ones that can't have large pieces to avoid missing them

Territories included in case you need them for your map, but easy to remove as well

Easy to add background or move pieces around to add text

Probably other stuff too idk I'm making this post several weeks after making the map so I've forgotten some of what went into it

I hope this is useful to folks because I spent hoursssss on it but that's fine, it's already been useful to me :)

Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and that’s sure something
