BIG fan of being home alone. I will get so much done today. HUGE fan even.

As someone who grew up with "I'm not going to praise you for doing what's expected of you; that's not being good, that's doing the bare minimum" I want to encourage you to celebrate every little thing you can. Everything that takes energy and effort should be appreciated and you're allowed to be happy about trying.

so many tips for budgeting/being frugal are just twice as hard when you have a disability

"meal plan!" idk if i'll be feeling well enough to cook every day so it's hard to plan for what to eat

"cook in advance!" i can't cook meals for a whole week at once and plus i can't count on that because again idk if ill feel okay to cook at the same time every week

"use cloth napkins and towels!" those need to be washed and folded, i already have trouble doing my laundry

"delivery is expensive, always shop in person!" going to the grocery store can wipe me out for the day.

"base your food shopping on whats on sale that week!" one, allergies are a thing and some people don't have that luxury, two, that's a lot that you have to prep for and that takes energy.

"DIY!" takes time and energy. maybe i could do it by myself but would it be worth all the time i need to take to recover?

i mean none of these are bad ideas or trying to exclude people. most of it is cutting out conveniences. but for disabled people, something that's a convenience for someone can be a necessity to others

something I don't talk about enough is that hello can not only enter desktops, but also individual programs if they're open. in software this mostly allows her to play around with ui elements, but in video games she can turn into a full gameified version of herself!

so, this lets me pose to you a concept: hello scug :3

do people know that the dishwasher only uses like 4 gallons of water per run. thats like 2 minutes of shower. do people know it's not constantly spraying new water in there. it does like 3-4 batches of water per load. gang. dishwashers are super water efficient

If you're someone who tends to struggle with chores, imagine your f/o helping you with them. Imagine you both folding bed sheets and washing the dishes together. If you do chores with music in the background, imagine them humming to the songs and you joining them. Do they distract you sometimes while you work? Like putting their arms around your waist from behind you? Do they steal a kiss as well? Or is it you who does that to them? Do you both accidentally distract each other cuz you both can't stop stealing glances?

Imagine them giving you motivation and support throughout the chores, and when you take a break, they praise you. Whether you rush through it; take it slowly; or just do part of it, you bet they will be proud of you no matter what and want to help you as well.

hi hello that post you made about #onion berries and how you forgot the WIPE the cutting board made me so stressed. horrid imagery. do you only wipe the cutting board? is it not worthy of a wash, the soap and the water? what color has your cutting board taken? hope you are well, sending love your way

i wipe the cutting board with soap and water yes. the wiping and the washing are one and the same

by the way. there's no conceivable universe in which the FTL fleet that left Earth in NtN didn't have it incredibly rough.

I've said this before, but it bears reminding: they jumped blind, using untested technology, with NO supply lines back to earth and no concrete plans for a colony. they took ships that were supposed to stack 11 billion people canned in like sardines and nothing else and stocked them full with enough resources to live on for generations and somehow found a settlement, and that was before they had to rush the schedule because John was making noise about transparency and mask their actual launch as a trial run.

it wasn't a comfortable journey. I'd be very, very surprised if the total passenger count was higher than 10k people, for space/resources allocation reasons as well as for secrecy reasons. Every person on board was a mouth to feed, and their descendants, and their descendants. I've seen some people in fandom say stuff like "Of course they'd bring along servants! Rich wouldn't do chores!" and IMO that fundamentally misses the point.

This wasn't the space equivalent of a cruise liner, or the Titanic crossing the Atlantic with first-class quarters and third-class decks. This is the space equivalent of climate refugees crammed in 500 in a tiny fishboat crossing the sea with a non-insignificant chance of dying en route, after emptying their savings to pay for the trip. The fact that the people on board the FTL ships were once insanely rich doesn't mean they travelled in comfort.

This was a desperate last-chance trip, destination "anywhere but here", chances of survival unknown. Their privilege got them on the ships, but the moment they left Earth, that privilege ceased to exist; there was no way to enforce an existing social structure. This is why, again, I think there were no luxuries on board and absolutely definitely no servants - if you're about to willingly enter into complete social collapse, you don't WANT to bring people you regard as less than yourself, knowing that they will be your equals tomorrow.

I'm still convinced that half the fleet at least didn't make it out, and those who managed to found settlements were nearly wiped out multiple times at different points in history.

Very simple set up for noumenia, with a candle for Hestia and offerings of incense, olive oil, and honey almond rolls.
