Last Notes npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia The littlest sir, he has anxiety again. He's pretty good at the burrowing, though, and while it's sad that he's so scared it's also kind of adorable. Oh, littlest sir, it's going to be alright! #Cats #Gif https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/113/181/203/802/071/054/original/8437a5ff960d779a.mp4 https://eldritchcafe.files.fedi.monster/media_attachments/files/113/181/204/841/028/660/original/75d4d88739ed3cdf.mp4 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have in my life stayed overnight in places that were all: Greasy, sticky, dusty, noisy, humid and hot. All at the same time. And because some men are literal pigs, as in like to wallow in their own dirt, there wasn't even a SOAP DISPENSER to wash your hands with? Nor a bar of soap?? Jesus fuck. 🙃 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia There's that phrase. "Chicks dig scars." A poll, about that! Should you identify yourself as a chick, with its loosest most vibes definition - be you female, male, neither, both or some configuration beyond the ken of cis minds... Do you dig scars? (Clarifications and thoughts in post below this one!) npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A cat, of the ginger persuasion: "I am beset by ennui. Nothing in the world matters. I have not been allowed my little crimes and there is no fresh kibble, only the kibble from this morning. And it is by pure coincidence that I am draped across both of your arms, my face tucked into your wrist. You, also, do not matter." Another cat walks past, close enough but not close. Orange cat, lashing out lighting quick with a paw: "Fuck off!" He resettles gracefully. "As I was saying. Beset by ennui..." npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Weather cold and clammy, cats soft and warm. Also absolute bastards that destroy your things, will not stop pooping, make sure nothing is ever truly clean for more than two seconds, and cause you such stress... But quite soft and warm. #Cats npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia This is the worst combination of things. It looks like it's better for the environment but because not everybody has the specific kind of touch of the 'tism which makes them read everything on every bit of packaging, most people would just toss these into the composting, where they will infuse the rest of the biomass with a lovely sprinkling of microplastics! Fucking hell. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Today's grievance: Teabags that are not compostable. I wouldn't buy any if I'd been shopping myself, but since I requested a specific flavour of tea, not a specific product... "100% Plant Based teabag!" Yeah, and you could compost or put the regular kind, with the cellulose mesh bags and cardboard label and cotton string in the compostable bin, and it should be fine... But these plant based probably plastic ones? Specifically marked as unsorted waste, but only very small and on the underside! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia An excerpt from a video by Retro Claude, talking about a rationing era challenge and not taking the strictest route even as an experiment: "That's not what this is about. What I want to do is reset my understanding of what is an acceptable and normal level of consumption. Because we are constantly bombarded by these marketing messages to buy more and to own more and it's gotten absolutely obscene in my opinion. And I don't think I'm the only person that feels like this - to the extent that we have seen a trend for under-consumption core on online. But I wouldn't argue that that is under consumption I would say that is normal consumption. But then our understanding of normal is so warped is it really normal? I don't know. So for me that's the point of this challenge is to try and find a new baseline of what is an acceptable level of consumption." Well said. I still need to finish the rest of the video, but well said! #ReduceRepairReuseRecycle #Sustainability npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Gosh, I need to rewatch that some day. I remember liking it, but it has been a *while* npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Oh heck the "You drive to a Starbucks for your morning coffee? You operate the machinery??" post has gone off in the night again. And while it was nothing like the time before, I'd already been hopeful about it being laid to sharing rest. 😆 It's deeply funny and kind of embarrassing for me as a fairly sedate, well-worded and gently comported individual... That my most popular toot to this day is one where I was well hecking shouty and judgemental. Ah, the internet. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I don't object to the attire, I object to operating a tonne of steel and vehicular manslaughter just to fetch something you can literally hold in one hand, presumably right after waking up. That you could make at home instead. ...Also, you do know that people in Europe also bathe, put on makeup, do their hair, and often wear yesterday's clothes? Right? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia And it was a comment on a post about Starbucks being terrible, their CEO being terrible, and them doing terrible union busting! And this... This is what someone chose to write as a JUSTIFICATION to get Starbucks even though they thought they probably shouldn't? I am... Collapsing into a black hole. Just. Fuck. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I have just read this sentence: "Usually I pick up Starbucks for my morning coffee because it's closer than my local coffee shop and I don't have to put on real clothes to drive through it..." And I'm just. Staring into the distance in European. You DRIVE to get COFFEE before putting on your CLOTHES? You can't be bothered to put on clothes because you haven't had your morning coffee but you will DRIVE to a fully another location that isn't YOUR FUCKING HOUSE to get it??? You will operate. The machinery! On the roads, that you share with other people! To drive to a location?? When you could just make it at home?? I try not to judge but, dear reader, I am fucking judging 😶 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia It does, thank you! It's been ages since I listened to podcasts without subtitles, since when I actually want to absorb the content I also need to read it while it happens. For sleeping it shouldn't really matter. I do like their voices. I'll have to try it out at some point. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Ah, it seems like she's using the Yoga Instructor Talking You Through An Exercise But Also Programming You For Covert Murder On The Sly cadence and tone, which I really can't listen to. 😅 Her voice is lovely but please just talk normally! And far too much sibilance, it's like AMSR lite and I can't stand ASMR, it makes me want to crawl out of my skin for some reason. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Also I can't sleep and am now wondering how hard of hearing or deaf people drown out their brain noise? Do you watch or read something? Surely keeping your eyes open delays sleep? Also lol, I quite like listening to trans women who haven't done any or much voice training, there's the feminine lilt but also the soothing tenor. What a world, that we have the option! npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll about voices! So let's say you have insomnia and really need to use the sleep, so you put on a video, show or podcast to fall asleep to. Is it a feminine or masculine voice that you seek out for it's brain wrinkle soothing qualities, apart from the actual content? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia A poll, requested! Imagine you needed to pick between two women. To wife her, hire her, ask her out to a movie, to watch your dog, to have a long conversation with, to pick up something for your dad from the shops... The women are the same age, same disposition, both generically good people and not hard on the eyes. Their only obviously determinable difference is that one is currently wearing sparklingly new shoes straight from the box. The other has been wearing hers for years, but has cleaned and shined them well. Which do you pick? npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Several hours into the poll... Lads, never buy new shoes if you want to be wifed, hired or befriended by Mastodon! 😆 npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia This has been a two in the morning pondering of the random things we notice and give value to. 😶 Me? Old shoes. It's all about that sustainability, baby npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia I stopped buying commercially made bras for communist hippie reasons (ethics and the theoretical option to DIY) and have gotten pretty deep into vintage lingerie patterns & modifying existing patterns to use cotton knits. Turns out that you don't really need underwires, or even padding - which doesn't breathe! (A tiny bit of vertical flexible boning at the sides if you want a nice long-line bra, though.) The shapes are a bit more pointy, but there's great support and comfort, especially if using wide straps instead of the thin dinky ones. npub1v8s439l4v52frhjempn9cpv9jldgse86a9wpnzdsx09tgdf48v6stcu5an Sini Tuulia Bought a vintage sewing booklet pdf, as a treat. It's always great when the very first pages make you say "What the fuck?" out loud because they've simply and clearly outlined a way to do a thing you've never known to do before, and you can feel your mind expanding in real time. Because you didn't even know you could do that, not without a dedicated industrial use machine! And these bitches from 90 years ago just did it at home! Incredible! #Sewing #HistoricalSewing
