YAYY!! also if u know how does one hand wash clothes..... I've been wondering for ages cuz I hav sum special clothes I don't wanna risk damaging

Oh hell yeah I know how to do that, i don't have the stuff to do it rn so I can't show you via pictures BUT I will still give you the tutorial

1. Make sure your clothes can Actually be Handwashed. Some NEED to go in a washing machine and will have "dry clean only" on the tag. If the tag doesn't have that you should be A-OK to hand wash it! It's very important to read the tags on your clothes to see what they can handle.

2. If the clothes have stains, put laundry stain remover on the stains before getting the clothes wet. You just gotta (gently) work the stain remover into the stain with your finger tips. Don't be too harsh w it

3. Fill your sink or a large bowl with lukewarm-warm water (depends on what the tag says, some clothes will be damaged by hot water so make sure to check. If the tag doesn't say then look it up, ex: "can cotton t-shirts be washed with hot water". While you fill the sink/bowl with water, also add in a bit of laundry detergent. The amount depends on how much laundry you're handwashing. Either way, make sure to mix the detergent into the water until it's dissolved.

4. Put your laundry into the water. Squeeze it gently to get the soapy water running through it, gently rub your hand over it too (using your palm is best for this) just to make sure it gets cleaned. Some color might bleed into the water but usually it's excess dye, which won't cause color loss. Make sure the clothes are fully submerged and soak!!!

5. Take them out of the soapy water and rinse them as thoroughly as possible. If your sink is able to do a spray, do that- if not, take a new large bowl and fill it with cool water (without soap) and soak it in that, gently squeezing the water off of it away from the bowl.

6: Get the rest of the water off! You want it to be Mostly dry. If the clothes can handle it feel free to wring it, but more delicate clothes may need to be more gently wrung out. Gentle squeezing and a towel are your best friend with clothes like that.

7. Dry them! There's lots of ways to dry your clothes if a dryer isn't available. If you happen to have a rack for clothes, definitely use that- clotheslines, too. If you don't have either of those, there's still plenty of ways to dry them. Just lay them flat on a towel and let them air dry- if it's a warm sunny day, placing them outside will help them dry faster. Once one side is dry, flip it to the other. If you're in a hurry, you can also use a hair dryer to dry a specific piece of clothing.

Bonus: if you want to make sure your clothes get REALLY clean, add borax to the soapy water. It won't bleach your clothes, it merely softens the water so the detergent can get at your clothes deeper and do a better job of cleaning.

Hi! One Summer is my new obsession! And I have a question. Do you already know how many parts it will be, or do you just know what you want to happen but didn't plan specifically? I'm just curious about your writing process (and if maybe it changes from series to series idk).

Love youu 🧡

i love u more!!! im so glad you like one summer <3

it kinda changes with series! for one summer i know whatll happen and made a point to plan how many parts bc i wanted to make it manageable. i outline/ plot out all of my series! i like to have a proper start, what kinda ending i want, important scenes/themes or relationships i wanna develop and kinda take it from there hehe

Hello! This is a very good question and it crops up quite often across a lot of fields of science. The best answer I can give you has two parts: 1) your dad learned how to do this independent of science, and 2) oftentimes the scientists learning and compiling and analyzing information about older or uncommon practices aren’t familiar with the practice itself in a way your dad might be, ie it’s all academic.

Now this isn’t a bad thing on either end, and it’s not a hard and fast rule — some scientists go into their fields because they’ve been doing the thing and want to study it in an academic context for whatever reason, who knows. This holds true for what I say from now on, that nothing is true, and there will be exceptions to the trend.

A lot of “niche” cultural behaviours or practices aren’t understood innately by the people outside those cultures, and doubly so when they’re historical, like this method of mixing concrete, or even the lost wax cast method of making bronze statues. You’ll find similar trends with Damascus steel or particular ways of weaving silk. They just aren’t understood innately by people outside the specific cultures they thrived in. Chances are, since your dad was taught by your granddad, this method of mixing lime into concrete was an age old thing in your family, likely knowledge passed down through generations. Or your granddad figured it out through trial and error. Either way, it’s pretty cool that this knowledge is in your family! It means that somewhere along the way, someone in your family, be it your granddad or someone older, played around with enough materials to figure out how to make brickwork last longer.

The best analogy I can come up with is that new study going around that explains how spices work in Indian food and why it’s so good. Like, intuitively, I know (in theory — I can’t cook very well) how spices work in food from my own country, I know which ones to put in which food and how to bring the flavour out, because I’ve been taught by two generations. But I don’t know the exact science behind it — I can’t tell you which tastebuds are activated by which spice, or what chemical reactions produce what chemical that creates a particular scent. I can tell you that eating a clove will make your tongue go numb though, and that you should only put a teaspoon into a big pot.

What I’ve observed in both this, my personal life, and in academia and case studies is that knowledge that is passed down is generally meant for practical use — like how to use spices or how to make bricks last longer. And, scientists are naturally curious. We want to pick processes apart and study every little detail. I think it’s really cool that your granddad knew about this, and if you see this, if it’s okay, I’d like to know if he figured it out himself or if he was taught by someone! I think it’d be pretty neat to see how far back this goes.

Edit: these tags by @caffeine-n-words kinda sum up what I’m trying to say!

[Text: “…I’m over here thinking about a person I semi-follow somewhere in Europe who has a blog and a few books about building with mud and limecrete specifically because limecrete is long-lasting and tough. These places already knew what apparently took scientists decades to figure out. Glad to see the rest of the world is catching up though”]

(Hashtags removed and edited for clarity.)

And this also touches upon something that gets me sooooo incensed when it comes to Learning Things. Just…ask the local populace @ scientists. Please. I promise science will go much faster if you do.

we figured out Roman concrete btw. This is the only thing on my mind

There's something I've just realised with how Jinx, Isha, and Sevika communicate with each other.

None of them have to actually say words to each other, because they understand what the others saying through body language and looks.

Sevika and Jinx fight seamlessly alongside each other without calling out to each other.

The way they bicker without uttering a word, for example, when Sevika fully takes stock of how her arm look or when the music starts blasting and Jinx just responds with a shrug or a little dance.

Jinx thanked Isha by doing the finger gun towards her and Isha, understanding instantly that it was acknowledgement.

Jinx instructs Sevika on how to operate her new arm by just indicating the motion.

I love dynamics like this because it just shows the level of trust that all three have in each other, even though they know nothing about each other.

Jinx has been isolated from others for the past eight years, Silco has had Sevika work like a horse and, too frustrated with Jinx to really get to know her, and Isha is a new addition and non-verbal. But they still worked together perfectly.

still ruminating over Lost In the Book With Spooky Skeletons Part 1, so here's a selection of some of my favorite little bits! (...some more loosely paraphrased than others) (I just feel like Idia has no room to criticize in general, okay)

anyway, I'm sure we're just going to have a fun time celebrating Halloween and nothing bad is going to happen whatsoever! :)

The only bad thing about Gem and Joel's team up is, well, they actually have the means and the skill and the luck to do it.

But, you know, if a team makes it to the end, there can only be one.

And we've seen that except... they aren't the type to give the win to the other, they worked too hard, too proud of their skills, and it would feel like a disservice to the other to try and hand it off.

They aren't the type to sling bloody punches at each other in a cactus ring, begging for apologies and singing their sorrows.

They aren't the type to promise an honored deal with crossed fingers only to turn and twist and laugh maniacally as they betray due to the desperation of time ticking inevitably away

They aren't the type to twist bitterly and finally end up together, one reaching only finally so they aren't alone for the other to throw it away in what they think is what is wanted

They aren't the type to dance around and ignore hearing that the other doesn't want the win, ignoring it because they don't want to be alone only for the other to die silently without realizing and left wondering

No

Either of them could win. Statistically Joel has beaten Gem more than she has him, but that doesn't mean she can't win, Joel gets flustered easy. Joel tends to get more reckless and take the long shot that pays off, but Gem tends to flounder if caught off guard.

I think, if they are at the end there will be no promises or honor duels or gifted or taken wins, I think they'll just lunge. Not like a desperate wolf bites, but as an acknowledgement to who they are as people, bloodthirsty and fun and wanting to win. Maybe they will, at best, mention fight club and maybe negotiate the same rules, leather or no armor with wooden swords, but this is not an honor battle of forced apart partners nor is it a grief stricken apology to make the game end.

And I think one of them will die laughing as they go. Maybe disappointed but proud because they almost got the other and they did it together

If you are going to interact, please Reblog instead of Like. Likes do nothing! I appreciate it <3

Could you maybe draw Sora covered in mud, and Riku is just exasperated, like he's gonna be th one to get in trouble for letting Sora get so muddy? 😂

Riku laughed at him at first but then thought of the repercussions

something else I really like about She Loves to Cook and She Loves to Eat is its display of gaining weight as a part of healing.

I mentioned in that other post that one of the main characters, Kasuga, was seriously discouraged from eating by her family growing up. We're shown images from her childhood as well as an image from when she finally was able to move out

Her unhappy and unaccepted childhood self is then contrasted with her modern day self in a small side by side as she talks about how much better her life is now.

-

(And just adding more pictures of present day Kasuga for everyone unfamiliar with the manga)

The topic of weight itself is never brought up specifically, but the look into her appearance of her past vs now alongside the assurance that she is both happier and living better in general these days gets the message across anyway
