La Guiri

Decía Kurt Vonnegut que uno de los grandes dramas de la Humanidad es que todo el mundo quiere construir y nadie quiere encargarse del mantenimiento. Intento cambiar eso en la parte que me toca.

Creo en la bondad desinteresada y en el imperativo moral de saludar a los bebés.

Tengo un B2 en normie y dos superpoderes; el otro es la salsa de tomate.

Scary.
I just went into a rabbit hole... apparently there's a pharma company specialising in researching vaccines for diseases that don't have one yet. They've done cholera, Chikunguya and Japanese encephalitis and they're working with Pzifer on the most promising Lyme one. I assume they are getting a ton of EU money.
This is all of interest to me not because of ticks but mosquitos. I live in the south coast of Spain and mosquito-borne diseases are beginning to be a problem.

The central government (PSOE, Sánchez) as a rule can't/won't interfere in anything on which the regions have that particular power. This reaches you because it's an international question, but this dynamic in which a regional government makes a big mistake, or negligence, or cruelty, and then public opinion blames the national government? That's the news. Every day.
(i'm not a Sanchez supperter, in general, he just gets blamed for things that it is not in his power to control or punish)

I did kill with tobacco tea the affids on the two babies. Drops, not spray, so it wouldn't touch the basil. #succulents

In the centre of the picture, you can see a fly that looks a bit like a wasp. It spent a long time here.
I have sacrificed this echeveria's flowers to the affids because I've checked they aren't bad for its long term survival, just for aesthetics. And anything that kills affids will hurt #pollinators. I have basil, lavender, thyme, another echeveria and assorted colourful flowers. One poisoned plant spoils the whole balcony. #succulents

Oh, let me tell you an anecdote.
The European Union has been very slow in coordinating and unifying its consumer protections.
Spain joined the EEC in 1986.
But back in 1984 we had one of the strictest consumer protection laws; it took years for the EU to "reach us" in stuff like informative labels. We also had quirks like a prohibition of bulk buying (as in, unpackaged) to final consumers.
And it was because back in 1981, 330 people died and thousands got seriously ill from industrial-use oil sold as food-grade. To this day, people won't buy canola oil because the name sounds as poison. The case was a form of collective trauma.

I need to find quite urgently a psychotherapist that can work with teens in English. Algarve, or Huelva. Online could work too. Thanks.

writing from southern Spain.
You have to consider that houses built for coolness are also cooler in winter. The natural systems are not isolating: in summer, you want the overheated building to cool by night. And houses often have big-ish windows which are not very efficient in any weather.
Traditional Mediterranean houses are okay under 35° C or so. You can stay about 10 degrees cooler than the outside if the building is in the shade, the streets are very narrow or filled with trees, *and* your blinds or curtains keep the light out.
Could be worse, but it's not miraculous.

The channel has 41 videos in four months and a defense of raw milk. It is not signed by a person ("Hi, I'm Joe McJoe and this is my channel") This is AI slop and includes dangerous lies.

The amount of curcumin of a turmeric tea can be too much for people:
with blood clotting diseases
on blood-thinning medication of ANY kind
with liver issues.
It improves/accelerates liver function and some people are sensitive to that, even if they are otherwise healthy. I can have turmeric in food because it's never that much, but I can't have a full cup of golden milk.

Cotton, not woven, and they don't have frayed edges, it's that the fabric has gone very thin, sometimes with holes.

I have a #mending question: I have a lot of very frayed dishcloths. I think I can give them one more year if I double them; I can either fold them in half or just put two together, back to back. Any advice? tutorials? I think this would be a good way to relearn how to use my sewing machine.

2026-01-25 09:14:46 GMT

#Sashiko may seem simple, but ideally, you have to make short stitches and that's not easy to do on thick fabrics. I have tried to improve a job and my crosses are certainly smaller, but not by much.

#VisibleMending 2025 recap: I have fixed about 25 items for a total value of 700 euros. That's an average of 28 euros.
One item broke again: the zipper in a handbag.
There was some repurposing: dishcloths out of towels.
There were four adaptations rather than mends: making a very straight shirt fit a curvy body better, undoing two turtlenecks, and folding back extra long sleeves in a decorative way.
I'm especially proud of putting patches on a trolley, my sashiko jeans and my perseverance.
The crafting community in Mastodon is an inspiration and I would like to keep sharing my mending work, no matter how simple and modest.

#visiblemending or simply adjusting. I bought online a sweater that was one size too big and didn't send it back for two reasons: sustainability and making it last longer (I will need it eventually, my child will grow into it).
I have no way to sew or properly fix the sleeves, which are really long. So I folded them back inwards, and they will stay in place thanks to the bit of ribbon. The bow is inside.
They have full approval of my hip teen niece :D

Una cosa que puedes hacer si todas las peticiones de ayuda para Gaza te abruman o si por el motivo que sea no quieres contribuir a la causa de una sola persona escogida al azar es donar a alguna de las ONG que trabajan en Palestina o con refugiados palestinos. https://unrwa.es/ por ejemplo también está con los refugiados en Líbano, Jordania y Siria.
Se pueden hacer donaciones periódicas o puntuales, y si declaras IRPF en España, desgrava.
Esto no es un "O las peticiones individuales O darle dinero a organizaciones", lo comento por si quieres ayudar pero por lo que sea no te has animado a darle a individuos.

I know nothing of the technical side; can you please explain what is the alternative to a pistol grip and why is that important?
Also, how much does that type cost?
Are most gun deaths accidental?
Thank you.

#sewing #mending #visiblemending A veces compro en Lidl España y a veces en Portugal. En Portugal la parte de bazar ha dado por concluida la vuelta al cole y han pasado a la siguiente fase, que es costura y manualidades, encajada ahí antes de meter Halloween.
Ya sé que las cajas de surtido de cualquier cosa siempre será de menos calidad que comprarlo suelto y de marca, pero qué quieres, 50 colores por 5 euros resuelven muy bien un "mecachis que no tengo justo el tono de rosa para arreglar esta prenda, tengo que acordarme de ir a la mercería"... y pasaron tres años.
