I like that someone looked at harem anime and went "But what if the guy was just the sexy lamp off in the corner and we focused almost entirely on the women?"

Having learned that it's kind of horrifying how many 'Eco-friendly small batch granola-approved' detergents are just washing soda (base) citric acid, and some suds-making stuff that would make it so just using plain water would probably get things cleaner.

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

I fell down the laundry science rabbithole a few months ago. The short takeaway seems to be 'learn enough science to figure out ingredients vs. what you need cleaned', citric acid removes buildup and cleans your washer better than most things, fabric softener and kids' bubble solution are satan

I keep intending to get a costco card, lol. Maybe this will make me finally do it. (Winston Ross's had the Shadow controller stand, but it was broken. I might try to hit a few others)

My dad really got lucky for how uncool I was growing up. Old early edition D&D books, music from the 60s and 70s, and an entire library of dusty fantasy books. Entirely out of touch with my peer group, but I can surprise/horrify my husband when an old song comes on the radio and I know every lyric

Very simple way to prove artists aren't full of themselves. Try to give them a compliment! Tell them they're awesome and talented and watch them fall on the floor in full waterfall of tears to deny it and that a chicken with a paintbrush could do better if they just practiced.

Also going to add here more towards the mountains it's more like "brown on brown, copperhead's in town. Or watersnake. Or Dekays's. Or rattlesnake! Or cottonmouth (not actually) or a dirty ratsnake. Or...."

Generally snake people hate that rhyme because corals will somewhat frequently be dark enough red to look just black and yellow so people pick them up thinking they're safe (And not to mention the six thousand facebook comments chanting the rhyme at SA coral species which do not follow the rhyme)

If there is someone walking around mid-day along the road you treat them like a freakin' cryptid, give them lots of polite space when you drive around and do not ever stop.

One time a cellar cricket shot up my pantsleg while I was in the garage getting wood in. I did a daffy duck dance and then came inside to inform my family that the attempt of my life had left me scarred and deformed, emotionally at least.

Sadly Facebook existing kind of disproves it, I think it's more the safety of the screen between you and the target, not the lack of real name, workplace, hometown, etc. attached

And if you really want to get into ironing fabric as a hobby there's lots of things that can be ironed, it doesn't have to be competitive ironing... I mean quilting.

There was a depressing post (not meant to be) of someone who compared the cost of a home-farm pasteurization machine vs. the cost of buying a local politician to change rules around the sale of unclean milk products in the are. They were bragging how much they saved with the politician.

For example, I will never lose a moment's sleep over MAGA tears at things I do. I will do the things HARDER. But if trans buds are hurt by my behavior? I need to look into it. It might be because trans buds are also maga which sounds ridic. but does happen, or I might be wrong. But they don't change

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

In life, everything you do will piss some people off. The important part is pissing off the right people. If you are more concerned with making groups of people stop being pissed off at your thoughts/behavior than you are at changing yourself so they stop being pissed, maybe it's time for a think.

As a kid I lived in terror of being sent back over and over to my closet because "That doesn't match, pick something that does." when I had no clue what that meant because I was a kid. So it makes me unreasonably happy to know there are parents out there that don't subscribe to that

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Yeah I used to see things like "senior center owner runs foul of gambling laws for raffling off a new blender" and been all "Morality laws are evil!" and then I read things like "Men terrorize a high school volleyball team after betting on their rivals in an upcoming game" and WELP

Squish them around now and then. Then after a few hours pour off the yellow-brown water and rinse until clean. Repeat the soak if you feel it's needed. Then I usually toss them in with a load of clothes to make sure they're rinsed really really well.

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

I will take a slight variation. FOR REUSEABLE PADS where staining is not an issue but making sure they stay clean absolutely is, they get soaked in cold water and squeezed out until no visible red is coming out, then thrown is a container with tap-HOT water and Biz. Soak for hours

Death of the Author is also just a literary interpretation term that just means ignoring the author's intent and focusing on your own reading. Like JKR has said she intended the deatheaters to represent queer people, death of the author says if you see them as Nazis not queer people that's valid

I will say that a good comfy sun dress is so wonderful it's ridiculous. I found one I loved and patterned it out to make 20 more. Going out in essentially a nightgown while being considered fashionable? One small silver lining.

Apparently welovecolors is using AI now.... Highly disappointed, especially as they market to cosplayers. Granted, the body sock I bought from them recently will be the last thing I think I ever get from them. The quality was terrible, and it snagged worse than pantyhose. But AI is a last straw.

Like having a character casually use the r word as an insult is going to offend a very different group than having a gender-fluid character.

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

I always feel like the most important part is to keep track of who you're offending and the reasons they give. (And is it personal or on behalf of another group)

This was one of her neonate fosters and was a singleton so she theorized maybe she never learned to cat properly and how to give warning. Either way kitty was very loved and cared for, she just didn't want to risk her getting adopted and her new owner reacting badly to her nipping

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

I will say one time I met a friend's foster fail and was warned that she bit without warning which was why she was ff. I am pretty good at body language and kitty showed every indication of being relaxed and happy and wanting more pets when she suddenly tried to nip. I was shook! Still loved her tho

This is 100% what I would expect with an AI kickstarter "prototype"

An AI generated image of a very fancy dragon plush toy on a couch. The implication of the product photo is you'll be getting that toy.

The dragon image has been printed on fabric, the actual toy you get.

Duae @duaecat.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

The really Big Thing for content creators right now is ordering AI products for the shock reveal at how terrible the thing is you actually get. It's probably really helping teach people that if they can catch it as AI, it's a scam (Plush where the actual product is a print of the AI image is usual)

I got a huge pack of seedling growbags, I can fit 12 to a crate, and I have roughly 50 tea seeds cracking in my wet cococoir seed jail. And the listing for 20 pawpaw seeds sent me 40, maybe because it was late in the season. Time to prepare to spread plant joy.

AI is not "slop" because it's bad. It's slop because all the real art is dumped into a bucket, mixed up, and then poured into a trough for pigs to consume. That's what slop is. A meal isn't slop. Your art is the meal they make slop from.
