You know what, since I'm thinking about it anyways, let's talk formalwear accessories. Most of these are traditionally menswear but a bit of gender fuckery is good for the soul, and frankly most of these are about making your mass-produced clothing fit and lay properly without having to go to the tailor.

Shirt stays: these go around your thighs to hold your shirt down, so that it stays smooth and tucked in. They're usually elastic, with 1-3 clips, and if you wear skirts frequently this is a GREAT way to make sure your top doesn't ride up. The clips will be visible if you're wearing something tight, so loose pants or skirts are where these do best. There's also an insane version that clips to your socks, but that is for lunatics. If you wanted, you could also use one of these clips to hold up thigh-highs.

These do a great job of smoothing and narrowing the waist area by keeping your shirt from bunching there.

Sleeve garters: usually metal, leather, elastic, or silk. These are usually worn with button-down shirts to adjust where your cuff falls on the wrist or hand. They're properly worn on the upper arm, and you pull the fabric of the sleeve above the garter until you cuff is where you want it. Because this creates a puff of sleeve at the bicep, it also broadens the appearance of the shoulders. It's great if you're working with your hands or if your sleeves are often too long for your preference.

Waistband clip or belt adjustment clip/buttons

Three different ways of tightening the waistband of a pair of pants or a skirt. You're not going to get more than an inch or so tighter without weird bunching, and for most of these you'd want them to be hidden under a shirt or jacket, but they do the job if that's something you're having issues with.

Collar pins: There are so many fun ones out there, both with and without chains. They're not terribly practical, though the slight weight may help keep your collar where you want it. Also consider collar tips, which pin (surprise) to the very tips of your collar points.

Sweater clips/guards: meant to hold your sweater or cardigan mostly closed. Great if your cardigan doesn't button, or if you don't like it to be buttoned all the way.

There's tons of other stuff out there like this--etsy is a great place to find this stuff. A lot of these are old solutions to the very modern problem of mass-maufactured clothes not being as one-size-fits-all as advertised, but they're also a fun way to put a bit of personality into businesswear.

Whenever I see someone complaining about production values in preschool television going down the toilet these days, I've gotta wonder: did I sleep through some era of elevated production values for preschool-targeted media? Like, sure, children's television with decent production values has always existed, but such shows have never been the median. When I was a kid the median for preschool television was some dude in a cheap Renfaire costume arguing with a sock puppet and playing the recorder. There was one set, two speaking characters (if you count the puppet), and no script at all, and by God, we liked it that way.

#maybe thats the thing tho #a guy and a puppet worked well #preschool stuff I've seen lately is creepy cgi stuff thats janky

Unique stylized/simplified "pseudo-3D" illustration of the Yoshi's Island 1 level from Super Mario World, seen in a 1990 issue of the Japanese Famitsu magazine.

The actual map of the level is provided on the bottom, for comparison (please zoom in to view). Note that only the largest landscape features are represented in the simplified version, and that the proportions of the terrain are heavily altered.

There are ten trillion pictures of flowering trees to the point where they sometimes seem trite and overdone. But then you see a tree in full flower and go holy shit this rules and I've gotta show this to everyone so they can experience the same magic and wonder and there are ten trillion and one pictures of flowering trees

learning about fountain pen ink acidity!

apparently some tests show platinum classic inks have a pH around 1.1 (classic lavender black) to 1.3 (classic khaki black, classic forest black)

and this measurement has caused some fights. allegedly a lot of the fountain pen pH measurements found online are wrong. and a lot of people really doubt this particular measurement.

is anyone here both a fountain pen enthusiast (or open to become one) with access to and experience with precise pH measurements?

or does anyone have a hot take on whether or not platinum classic lavender black could really have a pH of 1.1?

#so this would be really easy to test with a ph meter or a set of ph strips #but i dont have those things #a person can get an aquarium water ph tester #ph meter for $30 CAD or less #so this is definitely a testable thing
