Hey y'all! Do you have any advice about making smoothies? Like, what kinds of fruit and veggies go well together, what combos very much don't work, and especially if you have any advice on what frozen fruits or veggies work best. I am thinking about trying making smoothies but I know pretty much nothing about it lol

#the person behind the yarn #food mention #I don't even know where to start when it comes to making smoothies #except that I should avoid coconut (allergic) cucumber (possibly allergic) and bananas (sometimes allergic) #and that I should probably stick to frozen fruits and veggies as much as I can #because I have histamine issues #and while I tolerate some fruits very well #some fruits I do not #so this will be a bit of trial and error #but dang. I just really want to be eating more fruits and veggies before I end up with Yet Another Vitamin Deficiency #(my body processes several vitamins and minerals Very Wrong so I have to take...a lot of supplements) #(plus I am on medication to fix some of them that messes up other vitamins. it's a process) #and when it comes to ways to eat frozen fruits and veggies smoothies seem to be the best way #or maybe not best but most efficient? #I tried with non-frozen fruits and veggies but the produce in Tennessee goes bad SO QUICKLY #or at least so quickly compared to where I used to live #so...frozen! frozen fruits and veggies

Modern crystal healing: It opens your ~chakras~ you will attract ~abundance~ you will ~connect with the universe~

Medieval crystal healing: This shit makes you invisible, stops your periods from hurting, and makes your husband love you.

#chatter #Yes those are all taken from real medieval descriptions of crystals. #I can't remember the last one but the first two are topaz and carnelian. #I prefer older crystal healing sources I will not lie. #Its the fact that they're less vague and more confident about their assumptions. #I have read modern (70s) crystal healing books and they are INCOMPREHENSIBLE. #The thing about these books from the 70s is that if you follow the citation chain of modern books they all lead back to them. #I don't know how you could get any useful information from Healing “diamonds are so strong they cause cancer” Stoned. #Want medieval rock information? #Hildegarde von Bingen's Physica and Albert the Great's De Mineralibus. #English translations: Priscilla Throop and Dorothy Wyckoff respectively because I've read those. #Physica includes a lot more than crystals and Throop's translation is easy to read so I recommend it in general. #Wyckoff's De Mineralibus contains a lot of interesting footnotes that explain what Albert could've been referring to. #Because shockingly in a society without ways to definitively test minerals sometimes every green rock is an emerald. #Bonus: Want some Roman crystal knowledge? Pliny the Elder's Natural History volume 11. #|| #witch #witchblr #witch memes #witchcraft #crystal witch #crystals #witch meme

Sketch compilation from the last year and a half while I wrote the final third of my FMA03 fanfic.  The fic follows Ed and Al after they get on their trains at the end of ep51 and a completely different story happens.

The way it's depicted, Cybertron's pre-war societal issues had a lot less to do with Functionism and more to do with unchecked government corruption, massive wealth disparity, high layoff/unemployment rates, and disenfranchisement.

People were starving, they needed work, they weren’t getting any. Those that were fortunate enough to have work didn’t get paid living wages, much less have anything to spare for health contingencies. Even then stability’s still the luxury of the top few tiers; they live one cut away from layoff. The government cared only enough to exacerbate these issues by coming up with new ways for exploitation. Any attempts to protest or lobby were shut down through political persecution. As a result the masses turned increasingly to crime, drug abuse, thuggery, and violence. Extreme acts of terrorism gets lauded as long as the collateral damage's suffered by someone else. Morality and caution are eroded in the face of desperation.

Meanwhile the many alleged restrictions of Functionism are just lip service complaints made by the characters which doesn’t match up to most of the stuff we’re shown. Like if Rung could become a psychologist, a specialized job that requires higher education, despite having zero background on top of such a weird alt that he had to be classified as an ornament, then wow the functionists must be open-minded. If Dominus Ambus could be a scientist/doctor/explorer/author/successful social rights advocator during the height of functionist control with a minesweeper military-use alt (assuming that his secondary alt's the same as Minimus'), then wow the functionists must be accommodating. If Tyrest could become chief engineer under Nova and later go into law, a complete change of profession, while being a jet, then wow functionism's flexible. If Ratbat and Momus could become senators in a society that discriminates heavily against beastformers and labor frames, then wow that’s progressive. If every Prime from Nova to Zeta (with the exception of Sentinel, his alt’s a tank, he only has wings in Megatron Origin as part of his Apex armour upgrade), every single named pre-war senator other than Proteus and Momus, and four out of five of Nova Prime’s buddy club (only Galvatron's a grounder) were wingframes in a society that supposedly discriminates against wingframes, then wow that’s… inconsistent worldbuilding.

Megatron didn’t get into bloodsports or start a war because he didn’t get to pursue his dream job. He got driven into the pits and down the slippery slope of moral degeneration because his only source of income was cut off by the mine closure incident. People wanted livelihoods above anything else, it's the failure to provide that that made the miners go off the deep end and resulted in the death of a guard. If Functionism actually ensured that everyone could be guaranteed a job or at least minimized the unemployment rates, then stratified castes or not, there would have been no war. People, or societies, are generally capable of tolerating an incredible amount of injustice as long as the majority still have a chance at scraping by at the end of the day. But the government, and later Megatron, kept yanking the rug out from under everyone over and over until they no longer even had a chance at that; there's no other choice left but fight or die.

#I get that all prejudices are full of contradictions and inconsistencies meant to cater to the needs of the ruling class #for the sole purpose of upholding the social stratification #and tokenism is a common thing #but when you can pull out two or more examples as shown to the contrary for every one of a character's complaints #about how they suffered from functionism discrimination #then it's just a really bad case of inconsistent writing with all tell no show #like you cannot expect me to take the 'flightframes are low caste' thing seriously #because the entire pre-war upper class is almost exclusively comprised of flight frames. it's the ground vehicles that are the minority #honestly it just feels like something made up on the spot for Starscream's sake #and Thundercracker Skywarp Jetfire got benefitted by association #when was functionism introduced as a concept in the comic anyway #was it in that Megatron/Optimus conversation in Chaos Theory? #b/c I'm getting heavy retcon vibes there #I got no impression that functionism was even a thing that existed when reading Megatron Origin #Autocracy's written later but still no functionism #The main social issue is widespread poverty like I'm sure a lot of those ppl would be pretty happy if someone could assign them jobs? #the miners in Megatron Origin weren't mad because they had to work in the mines #They were mad because of the layoff and automation and knowing soon there's going to be no mines for them to work. and then they'd starve #idw transformers #transformers #maccadam

The Beast of Sulphur. Another member of my geology / volcano monsters. Probably the stinkiest of them all! Inspired by the way sulphur crystals grow on the rocks at steaming vents. Some of it melts there and looks reddish, almost bloody 😲 Painted with acrylic inks.

#geology #volcano monster #sulphur #sulfur #geology monster #looked a lot at stink badgers for this here beastie because yeah that felt fitting haha #it's also inspired by fumaroles but I want to make a monster dedicated to that concept more specifically #but it's still got some of that sweet fumarole action going on with its stinky breath #or solfatara more specifically #looked a lot at my own sulphur mineral specimen for this to try and get that yellow hue just right #it's a cool kind of yellow tone that's hard to catch but I hope I managed it #avanii's art #avanii #traditional art

Always wanted to draw Vimes stumbling among a parade of dwarfs. No context, as always.

#discworld #discworld fanart #samuel vimes #gnu terry pratchett #this is a miner's strike #mixed with an anti-troll protest #mixed with a suffragette's demonstration #mixed with a handful of cosplayers #and 99% of just other guys trying to mind their own business #part of this is an excuse to draw lots of different helmet + beard combos #I love doodling dwarfs everywhere

Papa is too far gone to remember, now.

Papa, with soot on his clothes, coal-dust lungs and smoke-stained teeth; with his stiff-canvas collar tickling her chin and sunlight in his hair and his hands so warm—

Hey, sweet girl. Did'ja sleep okay?

She remembered his voice the clearest. It was all she could remember. Slurring and soft and centuries old.

And Papa was gone. Snuffed like a flame. Vi was burning. And Vander was there.

Vander, with his smoke-stained teeth and stiff-canvas collar. Vander, whose voice didn't sound right—

Hey, sweetheart. Hotcakes for breakfast, right?

The boys liked him—Vi liked him—Powder refused to call him Dad—

(Because he wasn't wasn't never would be—)

And Vander was gone. Burnt up in blue and fire. Vi was burning out. And she was gone, too—a blot of ash, swept back to the shadows; Vi was gone, and—

Never been fond of tea, myself.

A new voice. New face. Not Papa, not Vander, not Vi—

But he frowns like her. Has scars like her. Papercuts on his fingers and burn spots on his thumbs. Smoke-stained teeth and soft-silk collar, and a whole drawer of shirts that still smell like soot.

His hand is cold, so cold in hers—but he squeezes her fingers back, lightly, and it feels like—

Which jams do you prefer, child? Blackcurrant, or raspberry?

Dunno. We never had any of those.

Well. Snide, like a secret: Most the lot of us hadn't.

And he makes her toasted bread and butter, the way Papa used to. Lets her pick the jam jars by the color, the way Papa let her pick her juice by the prettiest shade. And she sits at the counter, stares at his scratched up hands and the night in his hair and his mismatched eyes, centuries old, and wipes her crumbs on her sleeve.

Powder would have refused to call him Dad—so Jinx does, too.

But he sets a coffee on the varnish, lights up a cigarette, and asks, Did you sleep well, little dove?

And it's almost—

Almost enough.

powder/jinx, on father figures / what you never said.
