hey! just so you know, none of your society6 or redbubble links seem to be working! apologies if you were already aware

oh yeah I still need to get rid of those links!! I deleted my accounts there because their products are cheaply made, cost too much, and the pay for artists was ridiculously small.

also my art stopped selling anyways lol. the extra ~$20/month wasn’t worth the environmental impact anymore 🥲

Look, I get what they were going for with their pseudo-steampunk late-Victorian-industrial copy of the Torchwood Hub SID headquarters, but who thought these ultramodern brushed nickel recessed-can faux-pillar-candle chandeliers would fit in with that aesthetic?

Also the amount of money they must have put into building this contiguous set is mind-blowing, considering how strapped for cash the rest of the production seems to have been. I'm pretty sure this set, Shen Wei's bespoke wardrobe, and Zhao Yunlan's Ducati are where 90% of the budget went.

"Taking a shower longer than 5mins is such a huge waste of water" in this country there are literal acres of fresh green grass being watered in the desert, draining our lakes and rivers for a luxury sport

I fucking despise when things fake being higher quality than they are. I don't mean like slapping a slightly misspelled brand name onto an identical non-designer product for purely aesthetic reasons I mean like rivets or thread that are actually glued down rather than punched or stitched. Fake pockets on jeans that are actually just an extra seam. Heavy looking chain that's plastic or very soft flimsy metal rather than anything sturdy. I bought boots which looked like they had a stitched sole 8 months ago and lo and behold the glue holding the sole on is revealing itself by falling apart. You PUT a STITCH IN THERE. YOU HAD THE NEEDLE AND THREAD. AND YOU DIDNT ACTUALLY STITCH DOWN THE FUCKING SOLES. Oh it makes me so mad. Cheap cunts taking the aesthetics of durability or practicality while handing you a product that won't last you the year

What newcomers to injection molding process must know?

How to Safeguard Your Home Interiors During Flood Situations?

Floods can wreak havoc on homes, especially when it comes to interiors. Furniture, cabinets, and fixtures are often the first casualties, leading to significant damage and costly repairs. However, with thoughtful planning and the right materials, you can design interiors that are resilient to water damage. Here are expert recommendations to protect and rescue your home interiors in flood-prone areas.

1. Use 0.8 Density Boards for Inner Cabinet Sections

The inner portions of cabinets are often the most susceptible to water damage due to their porous nature. Opting for boards with a density of 0.8 ensures better resistance against swelling and warping. These boards are less likely to absorb water, maintaining their structural integrity even during prolonged exposure to moisture.

2. Protect Doors and Exposed Sides with 3-Layer WPC Color Boards

Doors and exposed cabinet sides are frequently in contact with water during floods. Using 3-layer WPC (Wood Plastic Composite) color boards offers excellent water resistance. These boards are not only durable but also aesthetically pleasing, ensuring that your interiors remain stylish and functional even in challenging conditions.

3. Opt for Stainless Steel 304-Grade Hardware and Accessories

Floodwater can cause regular metal fittings and accessories to corrode or rust. Investing in stainless steel hardware of 304-grade ensures long-term durability and resistance to rust, even in high-moisture environments. This type of hardware is ideal for hinges, handles, and drawer slides, offering reliability and longevity.

4. Fully Factory-Built Interiors for Precision and Sealing

Factory-built interiors are crafted under controlled conditions, ensuring precision and tight seals that can withstand water exposure. Unlike on-site installations, factory-made products are less prone to gaps and inconsistencies, providing better protection against water ingress.

5. Focus on Resilience Over Cosmetic Flaws

In flood-prone areas, it’s important to prioritize resilience over minor cosmetic imperfections like scratches or external strokes. By choosing materials and finishes designed to endure harsh conditions, you can safeguard up to 80% of your home interiors, minimizing losses during floods.

6. Use Elevated Furniture Designs

Opt for furniture with elevated designs that keep the base off the floor. Raised legs made of waterproof materials like metal or treated wood can protect your furniture from direct contact with water during floods.

7. Seal Wall and Floor Joints

Water often seeps through joints between walls and floors. Properly sealing these joints with waterproof sealants can reduce the risk of water ingress and damage to interiors.

8. Choose Water-Resistant Flooring Materials

Opt for flooring materials such as vitrified tiles, natural stone, or treated hardwood, which are more resistant to water damage. Avoid carpets or untreated wooden floors in flood-prone areas as they can absorb moisture and deteriorate quickly.

9. Install Water-Resistant Wall Cladding

Using water-resistant cladding materials like PVC panels or treated wood can protect your walls from moisture damage. These materials are easy to clean and maintain, even after exposure to floodwaters.

10. Incorporate Modular Furniture

Modular furniture, crafted with water-resistant materials, can be easily moved or lifted during flooding. These designs are not only practical but also add flexibility to your interior layout.

11. Use Waterproof Paints and Finishes

Applying waterproof paints and finishes to walls and furniture can create an additional layer of protection against water damage. These coatings can help prevent swelling, peeling, and discoloration caused by prolonged exposure to moisture.

12. Invest in Floating Shelves and Wall-Mounted Units

Floating shelves and wall-mounted cabinets keep valuables and essentials above potential flood levels. These features ensure that important items remain safe and accessible during flood situations.

13. Reinforce Baseboards and Skirting with Waterproof Materials

Floodwater often damages baseboards and skirting, leading to costly repairs. Reinforcing these areas with waterproof materials like PVC or treated wood can significantly reduce the impact of water exposure.

14. Choose Compact and Minimalist Designs

Compact and minimalist furniture designs are easier to move and protect during floods. This approach also reduces the number of items susceptible to damage, making cleanup and recovery quicker and more efficient.

15. Install Built-In Storage with Raised Bases

Built-in storage solutions, such as wardrobes and cabinets with raised bases, keep contents above flood levels. Elevated designs provide added security for stored items, minimizing damage to valuables.

Final Thoughts

Flood-resistant interiors are not just about damage control; they’re about peace of mind. By incorporating these strategies and materials into your home design, you can significantly reduce the impact of floods on your living space. Preparing for the unexpected is the key to ensuring your home remains a sanctuary, no matter the weather.
