RARE PICTURES OF EEYORE SMILING
Good post OP
reblog for good luck and happiness
How do I explain to my family that Brie Larson can hip thrust 400lbs without making it sound like the gayest fact I’ve ever learnt
HoW!?
Embrace the gay
EMBRACE IT
Are we gonna ignore the fact that she literally gets a cookie at the end as a reward for her hard work?? I mean, look at how FUCKING HAPPY she is!!!!
ok are u all ready
cut 6 perfect squares out of fabric(s) of ur choice, mine are 3x3 inches but urs can be bigger or smaller. make them all different colors if u want! go hogwild w this
take 2 of those bad boys and sew one edge of them together
sew a 3rd square on! repeat w the next 2 squares, we r making a cube
5 squares sewn n now u got a funky cup! time for the 6th square
when u sew on the last square, be sure to leave part of one edge unsewn, this is so u can flip it inside out and stuff it!
now it's stuffin time
stuff with some stuffing or u can use fabric scraps, whatever u have on hand. now we have a plump cube
time to sew up the little hole with a ladder stitch! im using a different colored thread here so its hopefully easier to see, but when u do it id recommend using a color that matches better so ur stitches are more hidden. first put the needle thru the inside so that the knot is hidden
then pass the needle through like this, pulling as u go. try not to pull too tight or else itll end up weird and wrinkly! i still have some troubles making this stitch look nice, so dont worry too much about getting it Perfect! its perfectly ok if ur stitches show
once uve stitched up the little hole, tie a knot in ur thread and snip it off! now we really have a cube
set that baby aside bc now we r gonna make something else
cut out 8 lil pieces like this, sew the pairs together, and turn inside out. now u got feet!
repeat the process w ears and a tail in shapes or ur choice. mine's gonna be a kitty :3
sew on all the paws, ears, tail, etc using the same ladder stitch from earlier! i also added some spots to mine to give it a bit more character. u can add anything to urs!! the world is ur oyster
i used some embroidery floss to make a funny little face. if u dont have any, u can also stitch on some teeny pieces of fabric for a face instead
finally, give urself a pat on the back for making a little tiny friend!!! u did it!!!
if u make one, post it n tag it w #yarrowlook bc id love to see it! :')
this california power outage shit is literally going to kill people.
the company only gave a 12 HOUR warning.
things powered by electricity:
- life saving medical equipment
- fridges and freezers which keep food from spoiling. this would be much less of a big deal if people were given a week or so’s warning, but they were given 12 HOURS.
- many devices used for preparing food (ex microwaves and electric stoves)
- phones, computers, televisions, and radios, aka everything that allows people to get news quickly, in an area extremely prone to wildfires and other natural disasters.
- phones also serve as communication devices for both loved ones and emergency services. if your phone runs out of charge during these 5 days and you need to call 911 because you’re having a heart attack or got in a car crash? you can’t.
- all lights… which is going to force people to use candles for light at night… in an area where fire is extremely susceptible to spreading… and all devices that can be used to contact emergency services are depowered…
- cooling and heating systems (luckily california tends to be pretty stable temperature-wise this time of year)
- electric wheelchairs and other electric disability aids
- i feel like i should re-iterate life saving medical equipment
this INTENTIONAL outage is affecting over half a million california residents, and not everyone has the money to just go get a generator, or go stay in a hotel out-of-state for a week, especially on such short notice. this is evil.
wait what
Here is a schedule of outage times by area
Coverage maps for affected counties
PG&E also has PDFs of (planned) coverage maps, and an interactive map but it seems to be down right now :I
Okay uhh,, hey California resident here! So the point of the outages is that we are about to get a really big wind. We call them the Santa Ana’s and they happen every year in the fall and spring. This particular week, we got news that the wind could be worse than any in recent history. I agree that the outages notification period is much too short and absolutely dangerous to people in need of electricity. I’m not saying I agree wholeheartedly with it but please PLEASE understand the context. The outages are being placed so that the entire state doesn’t catch fire tomorrow. Last years fire season was devastating, so I can honestly understand the decision to cut power, as downed lines are often catalysts for major wildfires. Okay thats all I’m gonna say, I just wanted people to know why this is happening. It’s not for no reason.
This shit happens here in South Africa every winter. Our power supplier (Eskom) decided a few years back they’re going to start giving out a schedule for planned outages (we call it load shedding) but they don’t necessarily follow it. The year before they started using schedules (I THINK 2016) the whole country was thrown into mass panic because we need electricity mostly for food and work (traffic lights being off doesn’t affect us too much, we’re used to it). After the blackouts people started switching to gas stoves and stores very quickly sold out in bright camping/outside type lights and almost every business bought a generator so as not to lose money.
At least in CA they switch off the power to try and prevent wildfires (it still sucks for the people though). Here they do it because the company is corrupt through and through.
Me: wow I’m way too attached to fictional characters
Me: *sees y’all send death threats to writers because you didn’t agree with their decisions*
Me: never mind I’m attached the healthy amount
