Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon

It’s carbon it’s pretty and it didn’t involve slave labor what’s not to love??? Hi I’m having geology opinions tonight apparently. And I’m right

There is so much bullshit in the diamonds industry to be mad about tbh. It also ties into the bullshit of the wedding industry as a whole but we don’t have the time to unpack all that

not even going to lie, the day i learned i could get like 15 lab grown rubies the size of dimes for $20 is the day i spent $20 on rubies, and i have never once said to myself “man, i wish this cost $1,600 and the lives of eight children to produce”

We are a pro-lab-grown mineral blog here, not only is it massively cheaper but massively more ethical as well in many cases.

another very cool lab grown gem is Moissanite. It has a 9.25 on the mohs hardness scale where diamond is a 10. Moissanote also has a 2.69 refractive index in comparison to diamond’s 2.419 and here is the difference 

and the best thing about moissanite? It is all lab grown and it costs only a fraction of what diamond costs. So fuck the diamond indsutry and buy lab grown gems which cost significantly less

Also it’s just cool to think of some mad scientist lookin person doing shit against the law of the universe and making pretty gems for you. Like cmon. This shouldnt be allowed probably. But humans really be like on gOD i want some shiny an just started MAKIN em

for years people wanted alchemy, well now we have alchemy and we’re making gemstones out of it and suddenly “it doesn’t count” anymore

Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling

“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭

Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.

for those lacking certain “adulting” skills, especially things around the house, check out:

mom, how do i…?

and dad, how do i…?

^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor’s appointments

if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions

there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love

Mercury Stardust’s YouTube channel, btw. Luckily there’s been an explosion of legitimate do-it-yourself tutorial videos in the past ten years, too.

forgive the version of you that didn’t know any better

forgive the version of yourself that knew better but did it anyway. forgive every version of yourself. we are constantly learning from our mistakes.

forgive the version of you that didn’t know what to do and could not have foreseen what the right choice was, if there even was one. forgive the version of you that made a choice and regretted it.

the worst extremely low-stakes consequence of societal fatphobia is when a low-calorie/“”“"healthy”“”“ recipe is actually good and suddenly everyone thinks you’re sharing it as a diet aid and not because it fucks hard

anyway put some frozen raspberries in a bowl and pour just a leetle bit of cold oat milk over it and the oat milk will semi-freeze into a kind of ice cream texture. and now you have fake raspberry ripple ice cream that’s 90% raspberries by volume

Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation

Btw if you have dietary restrictions you can often let them know and in many cases they’ll prioritize certain items for you

• Global map of community fridges
• Urban Harvest - global foraging maps
• Food Not Bombs Global Chapter Locations (mostly vegan!)
• USA - Find your local food bank
• USA - Meals on Wheels free or reduced cost food delivery (age usually 60+, check your specific area’s eligibility

• Map of US food banks that can accommodate gluten-free

Good thing to have on hand in the midst of food stamps issues

For fellow federal government employees, those who lose food assistance at the end of the month, and anyone just struggling to get by, here are some resources that can help.

A lot of food pantries, if you tell them, you have a food allergy, will absolutely work with you. I didn’t think about telling them ahead of time, but after Helene when I went to I got a box with several packages of tuna fish (I’m allergic to seafood), so I took the tuna fish packets back so that they could pass them along to someone else who could use them. The woman was very kind and asked me to hang back, then brought me two cans of chicken to replace it. When a friend of mine went two days later to get a box, they had a sign saying that if you had a food allergy, to let them know and they would try to provide a substitute if available. The answers and always “no” if you don’t ask!

If you need food assistance or access to food here are some more food resources:

Database of local food pantries

Free little pantries (like free little libs but for food!)

Food banks, local pantries, and mutual aid resources

Local community fridges

Mutual Aid networks near you

Share widely!

211.org is the United Way’s website. They have so many resources! Not just where to get food, but organizations offering financial aid, education support, housing, and more!

in the contemporary world, the most fundamental human right - and, it often seems, the least protected one - is “being both Allowed and Able to go Somewhere Else.” the rest is commentary.

the torments of prison are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. the most terrifying and degrading aspects of childhood are predicated on Not Letting You Leave. misogynists wail and moan and fearmonger about divorce and equal opportunity employment because they Allow Wife To Leave. borders and immigration restrictions exist, in no small part, to Prevent People From Leaving countries where they will be exploited and/or oppressed. fuck you for trying to leave. fuck you for exerting any control over your life whatsoever. that makes you the one at fault, actually.

david graeber described three fundamental freedoms: freedom to move, freedom to disobey orders, and freedom to reorganize social relations
