the funniest meltdown ive ever had was in college when i got so overstimulated that i could Not speak, including over text. one of my friends was trying to talk me through it but i was solely using emojis because they were easier than trying to come up with words so he started using primarily emojis as well just to make things feel balanced. this was not the Most effective strategy... until. he tried to ask me "you okay?" but the way he chose to do that was by sending "👉🏼👌🏼❓" and i was so shocked by suddenly being asked if i was dtf that i was like WHAT???? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?????????? and thus was verbal again

The diagram for the classic Origami Goat, with a twist to make its horns curve ! It's from this video by by Origami Word, but it seems to be a pretty old/intemporal design that a lot of people have made. I could not find a diagram online so I made one.

(If you make her in yellow/orangy-yellow, then decorate her with red ribbons, you can make your own origami gävlebocken ! )

Ya know when people told me "when you're finally safe enough that you can leave survival mode and start to let go of and process your c-ptsd/trauma things are probably going to get really, really bad before they slowly start to get better" I thought that was reasonable. I did not understand that by "things are going to get bad" they meant "you're going to find yourself in the worst mental state of your entire life, but dw, that means it's working" and tbh I simply wish someone had been more clear.

Edit: If everyone could please take a minute and think about what it must feel like to be struggling and then have multiple strangers say to your face that they find the prospect of going through what you're going through so horrifying that they'd rather kill themselves and then stop leaving comments like that I would greatly appreciate it.

Elevate Your Holiday Decor: Understanding Ornament Hooks

Who doesn’t love good ornament hooks? These are the unseen workers of Christmas and every other festive occasion marked by ornaments.

Despite being small paraphernalia you never really pay much attention to, the best ornament hooks can make your holiday decorations appear better and firmer!

This article will cover the different ornament hooks, materials used, design features, and buying guides for the proper ornaments for holiday decorations.

Understanding Ornament Hooks

Ornament hooks are small devices for suspending ornaments, Christmas tree branches, garlands, wreaths, and similar decorations. Some are big, some are small, and they are made from various materials depending on the type of ornaments and/or decorations required.

Types of Ornament Hooks

Traditional Metal Hooks

These are the most commonly used ornament hooks made of thin metal wire. They are floppy and, thus, can be easily twisted and turned when placing ornaments and objects of various sizes and weights.

Plastic Hooks

They are made from polyvinyl chloride and are offered in different colors. This is also beneficial since the robot cleaners do not quickly scratch fragile ornaments and are suitable for light decorations.

Fancy and Decorative Hooks

These hooks are meant to become the decorations themselves. They are present in designs more appropriate for decorating Christmas tree ornaments, such as snowflakes, stars, and the rest.

Ribbon Hooks

Some prefer using ribbons instead of putting the ornaments on a metal or plastic hanger. It can give the finishing touch of your decorations a relatively smooth and magnificent look.

Adjustable Hooks

These hooks also have an adjustable size, enabling one to hang ornaments at different heights. They are ideal for placing on top of each other, creating that numerous-layered look on the tree.

Materials Used in Ornament Hooks

The choice of material for ornament hooks can impact their durability, flexibility, and appearance. Here are some common materials used:

Metal

When fully developed, knobs are usually of metal steel, brass, or copper with hooks at the back. They are rigid-based and sturdy and can support larger weights of ornaments. Some metal hooks available in the market have been coated to avoid rusting and match a tree's color.

Plastic

Plastic hooks are lightweight and available in black, green, and many other colors. They are especially appropriate for small loads and do not pose a risk to fragile items.

Ribbon

Ribbon hooks are a type of fabric ornament accessory crafted from fabric ribbons. While they may not offer the same level of durability as metal or plastic hooks, they add decorative flair and enhance the appearance of your ornaments.

Choosing the Right Ornament Hooks

Selecting the right ornament hooks involves considering several factors:

Weight of the Ornament

Make sure you can hang your ornament or ornament on the hook without flexing it or causing it to snap. Metal hooks are more suitable for hanging ornamental items that require more support, while plastic hooks or ribbon hooks are more suitable for hanging lighter ornaments.

Tree Type and Branch Strength

Metal hooks are the most suitable for a real tree with strong branches. While metallic hooks can support tree-like structures with heavy branches, plastic hooks might be used for artificial trees with fragile branches.

Aesthetic Appeal

This type of hook can complement the general appearance of your tree in a manner that other conventional hangers cannot. It is essential to pick hooks appropriate to the style and color of your ornaments and tree.

Safety

When using hooks in your designs, ensure they will not slip off the branches easily. This is especially important if you have pets or children likely to run into the tree.

Tips for Using Ornament Hooks

Securing Ornaments

Double Loop Method: For security, make sure you make a loop with the hook around the branch and then make another loop to enhance its security. This helps prevent the ornament from slipping off quickly from the finger.

Bending the Hook: After fastening the hook on the branch, it is recommended to be twisted slightly to guarantee that it does not move.

Enhancing the Tree's Appearance

Varying Heights: To hang ornaments at different levels, it’s also good to stand some hooks or change the length of hooks to achieve more depth and appearance.

Spacing: Ornamental items should be arranged to prevent clutter while ensuring that the house occupants quickly notice and love every ornament or ornament.

Storing Ornament Hooks

Organization: It is wise to have your hooks safely held, and they should be stored in a small jar or even a tiny plastic bag. This also helps avoid tangling, making decorating the next year more accessible.

Labeling: It would be easier if you also sort the hooks in containers, placing labels that show which hook is for which type of ornament or ornament.

D.I.Y. Ornament Hooks

Creating your ornament hooks can be a fun and rewarding D.I.Y. project. Here’s a simple guide to making custom ornament hooks:

Materials Needed -Thin gauge wire (copper or steel) -Wire cutters -Needle-nose pliers -Decorative beads or charms (optional)

Steps

Cut the Wire: Take about a 6-inch piece of wire.

Create a Loop: Form a small loop on the other end of the wire using the needle-nose pliers. Instead, this will be the part that hooks onto the branch.

Add Decorations: This is the final step in making jewelry. If you wish to have beads or pendants, put beads or charms around the wire.

Create the Hook: Bend the other end of the wire into a hook. Make sure the hook is tight and can hold your ornament or ornament.

Adjust as Needed: The size and shape of the hook should be altered depending on the ornament or ornament you are hanging and the branch on which it will be placed.

Ornament hooks are valuable pieces that ensure a beautiful appearance and decent sturdiness to the festoons.

Knowing the kinds of hooks to use and the factors to consider, such as the material variety, weight, and appearance, makes it easy to select the right hooks.

Whether you choose metal hooks, colorful plastic hooks, or even fashionable ribbon hooks, they all aim to create beautiful, safe, and eye-catching ornament hooks that brighten homes with celebration. Happy decorating!

Seein' too many Twitter refugees asking if they'll get in trouble for saying "kill yourself" to people and while no, you're not gonna get nuked from orbit, that is maybe something you just shouldn't be doing in general perhaps?? Maybe telling people to kill themselves is bad actually?? Some of y'all are wild, why is the first thing you can think to ask on a new platform if you can send one of the worst kinds of harassment to people?? Grow tf up and learn how to use the block button. It'll do wonders for your mood, trust me.

subject, specimen, spectacle;

should i say that you're dead?

inconsolable over irving in this episode. no nuance here, irving is straight up suicidal in this episode. essentially placing him in the same circumstances in which mark chose to become severed - suffering unimaginable heartbreak and seeing switching his brain off as the only viable option for coping with it - and giving him that same choice at surface level to be relieved of it - except it's NOT the same at all, because innies don't get to compartmentalise, they ARE the compartmentalisation, if they choose to switch themselves off, they DIE. the illusion of choice here. irving can either suffer mindless torture of monotony every day with the knowledge that the man he loves is dead and never coming back, or he can fucking DIE. and he genuinely sees that as a viable option. as his only way out of this pain. because even if he did make it out, if he somehow against all odds gained his freedom in the outside world, he'd still have nothing. burt would not be waiting for him.

"I should be happy he's happy" and the way he doesn't even feel entitled to his grief?? like he has no right to be feeling the pain he's feeling right now? innie indoctrination goes so hard he's incapable of seeing that the very fact he's grieving innie burt, a hypothetical life they could have had together, is proof that he's just as real as his outie counterpart! he has just as much right to that life as anyone! like, NO, irv! you have been wronged, you have been so deeply wronged, they made you capable of feeling these things and forming this relationship and falling in love and then systematically removed every tool you could have had to pursue it, and then effectively handed you a length of rope and made you feel like the only empowerment you can find is in the act of hanging yourself with it.

"if he's gone and I'm gone, then somehow, we'll be together" broke me because he really has been so beaten down by this point at the hopelessness of it all, realising that there is no scenario in which he can be with the man he loves, that his only hope at finding any triumph or meaning in this is to die along with burt. at least in chasing him into oblivion, he will have made the one choice he could have to follow his heart. and that as a queer-centric narrative specifically is actually devastating.

SUCH an insane and heavy thing to come straight out of the gate with in the season premier. immediately cementing irving as one of the most masterfully complex characters I've ever seen - i can only hope his arc this season is in finding strength in the act of defiance at last and making good on his promise to burn lumon to the ground for what they've put him through. to carry that grief and channel it into bringing the system that has wronged you down. I believe in the power of queer rage and vengeance!!!!
