#do i need a color printer?

[egophiliac]

hey so I know you said art for personal use is okay but i was curious as to if you would be okay with me printing out your art 😭 i need things on my walls in my dorm and ive been obsessed with your unique magic series since you posted them lol. totally ok if not!

oh yeah, that's absolutely fine, thank you! ❤️❤️❤️ and if you're after the UM posters specifically, I put up higher-res versions of them here so they should print pretty nicely! :>

Love how whenever something goes "wrong" with the printer my coworkers' reactions are to push every button possible, like a toddler, and complaining to me, instead of contacting IT like they're supposed to.

Like I am not a printer tech. I am not a tech person at all. You do not pay me enough to encourage me to try to become a tech person. Contact the people whose job it is and who have asked you to contact them about it when you have issues. I don't need to print things and I don't have a mac. I can't fucking help you and button smashing only works in videos games; like please you're making it worse.

Been really tired for some reason but still meant to edit isot tonight since I'd have my laptop on anyway

And then I spent an hour physically fighting my printer, which decided that this month's Stupid Issue is that There Is No Paper In The Paper Tray. Even though there is.

How is it in the year of our Lord 2024 that we can make smart phones with nine zillion functions and yet still cannot make a printer that can successfully do the ONE THING it is supposed to do

we are in the middle of parent teacher conferences (remotely)

WHYYYY are parents calling other teachers to tell them to tell us to call them???

we all had appointments open???? like i need you to be so entirely for real right now

like why did you call the enl teacher. to tell her to tell me that you want to speak to me??

when we ALL had our contact stuff up?

and another parent called the school, so she had the secretary send out a fucking email blast (AGAIN) about her son

she did this like 2 weeks ago

like maam we literally speak with you like 2x a month, you calling the school fucking AGAIN?

when we could have been on a video call together with all the teachers if you had followed the damn directions???????????? ok

Finally found my posca pens! Hopefully they still work!

[foxcassius]

are you ever talking with someone who is just so delusional and you really dont know what to say so youre just like. yeah man youre right. idk why they said that to u.

New course is on web-applications.

Cool.

Teacher gives us two weeks of material at once, because he's letting us "stockpile" it for christmas (which legally we're required to study during, but which factually nobody is going to study during).

Fair enough.

50% of the first assignment is things that we don't have any material that covers. As in, we're being asked to do X, but we have been given zero instructions for how to do X. It's something we can look up, sure, but it's very blatantly not in our material.

... I'm going to have to complain to him come monday, aren't I? And hopefully this is either an intentional push to get us to look things up ourselves (annoying, especially without prior warning), or an honest mistake of "wait shit, that video wasn't included?".

why is printer ink so expensive

[promithiae]

Ok, so a few lockets have been acquired and now I have choices to make. I can print (probably the official portraits from the game) on my extremely shitty printer, try and find an artist to commission that has a not-shitty printer or... try and paint the portraits myself. Possibly watercolors? But maybe oils so that they don't get ruined because it's raining or humid

Guide to Drying Herbs

Drying herbs is a simple practice, and there are several methods to choose from depending on the type of herb and your desire use. Here's how I dry my herbs:

1. Drying on Newspaper

2. Hanging Herbs Upside Down

3. Pressing Herbs

4. Drying Small Petals in Pouches

General Tips for Best Results

Use Breathable Cloths: Wrapping your herbs or laying them on a breathable cloth allows air to circulate freely, preventing mold while catching any small leaves or flowers that shed during the drying process.

Timing: Dry herbs as soon as possible after harvesting to retain their potency and fragrance.

Environment: Choose a dry, cool, and ventilated area to prevent mold or mildew.

Labeling: If drying multiple herbs, label them to avoid confusion.

Storage: Once dried, store your herbs in airtight containers away from sunlight and moisture.

Using Dried Herbs

Always check if the plant is safe for use before collecting it. Do not make tea or touch anything with unknown properties. Always clean your plants before drying.

Every fun post on here that encourages people to have hobbies/be creative always gets an avalanche of "Some people are poor Karen" type reactions and respectfully, you're all super annoying. I've never lived above the poverty line and this is a list of hobbies I have that were cheap or entirely free:

Read books: Go to the library, lend a book from a friend

knitting, crochet, embroidery: Get some needles from the bargan store and ask around, people have leftovers from projects they'll happily give you. Thrift stores also often carry leftover fabric and other supplies. And talk about your hobby loud enough and an old lady will show up and gift you their whole collection, because there are way more old ladies with a closet full of wool than there are grandchildren who want to take up the hobby.

Origami/paper crafts: get some scrap paper and scissors, watch a youtube tutorial

walking: put on shoes open door

pilates/yoga/etc: get a mat or just use your carpet, watch a youtube tutorial

Houseplants: look online for people that swap plant cuttings. There are always people giving out stuff for free to get you started. If you're nice enough you'll probably get extra

gardening: You're gonna need some space for this one of course but you can just play around with seeds and cuttings from your grocery vegetables.

aquarium keeping is a bit of an obscure one but I got most of my stuff second hand for cheap or free and now I have a few thousand euro worth of material and plants.

drawing/art: You get very far just playing with bargan store materials. I did my entire art degree with mostly those.

writing: Rotate a cow in your head for free

cooking: again one you can make very expensive, but there are many budget recipes online for free. Look for African or Asian shops to get good rice and cheap spices.

Join a non-profit: Cities will have creative organisations who let you use woodworking machines or screen presses or laser cutters or 3D printers etc etc etc for a small fee. Some libraries also lend out materials.

candle making: You need some molds (cheap), wick, two old cooking pots for au bain marie melting and a ton of scrap candles, ask people to keep them aside for you.

a herbarium, flower pressing: Leaves are free, wildflowers too, ask if you can take from peoples gardens.

puzzles: thrift stores, your grandma probably

Citizen science: look for projects in your area or get the iNaturalist app

And lastly and most importantly: Share! Share your supllies, share your knowledge. Surround yourself with other creative people and before you know it someone will give you a pot of homemade jam and when you want to paint your kabinet someone will have leftover paint in just the right color and you can give them a homemade candle in return and everyone is having fun and building skills and friendships and not a cent is exchanged. We have always lived like this, it's what humans are build to do.

And all of it sure beats sitting behind a computer going "No stranger, I refuse to let myself have a good time."

Anyway I'm logging off bc I'm making some badges for a friend who cooked for me and then I'm going to fix some holes in everyones clothes.
