Whelp. Dashboard unfucker is no longer compatable with the most recent version of tumblr, nor is it maintained by its original author following carhammer-splosiongate.

This layout's fuckery makes my brain itch, and so as foretold: I'm leaving, and I won't be back until there's a new fix for this fuckery, because I don't like my brain itching.

Don't worry I have some post queued up as far into the future as a hundred years, though they do get sparser toward the end.

1. The author's poorly disguised fetish
   
2. The author's proudly displayed fetish
   
3. The author's fetish you're pretty sure they don't realise they have
   
4. The author's fetish which they're firmly convinced everyone has and is just pretending otherwise
   
5. The author's non-sexual special interest which just sounds like a fetish because of their habitually unfortunate phrasing
   
6. The fetish the author is making a well-meaning effort to cater to in spite of clearly not understanding it themselves
   
7. The author's fetish that never quite makes it into the text because they keep getting sidetracked by the requisite worldbuilding
   
8. The author's utterly pedestrian sexual preference which the text treats like a bizarre fetish because they've got shit to work through
   
9. The author's seemingly innocuous recurring trope they're going to have a personal revelation about ten years down the road
   
10. The author's fetish you missed on a first reading because it's so far out of pocket, it never occurred to you that you could sexualise that

My dash did a thing

I live by the motto, “if you can’t buy what you want, make it.” And this motto came to life recently in the form of a floral mosaic dining table for my back deck.

Our deck table had been showing its age already when the wind caught the umbrella and cracked it. I wanted to replace it with a mosaic table because I’d been enjoying that art form recently. But I couldn’t get one the size I wanted so I got creative.

I spent a few weeks looking for tile and figuring out a very loose design concept. I started by picking a limited set of tile shapes and a color palette.

Once the tiles arrived I had a piece of particle board cut to size for the base and I experimented with different motifs until I settled on a selection of floral shapes that gave me plenty of variety to fill space without locking me into one repeating pattern.

And then I was off! I basically doodled my way around the table, attaching tiles with Weld Bond (I went through 4 full bottles!) and rocking out to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

Once the florals were done it was time for the background…

Over 3,800 1cm glass tiles make up the not-design part of the design. It went pretty quickly though because I just had to fill the space, leaving room for grout.

Once I had the tile done, my husband assisted with disassembly and reassembly. We used the legs off the original table for this one (waste not).

One huge bucket of black grout later…

She is finished.

I enjoyed making it and just looking at it makes me so happy - I can’t wait for all the dinners we’ll have around this table 🌼❤️

Look, if you're having a bad day, here's a 6,000 year old pig-shaped pottery pot.

When was the last time you cleaned your sewing machine? It's a simple task, and something I do between projects. Have you noticed your thread tangling or tearing? Stitches being skipped? A funky noise that shouldn't be there? Chances are your machine needs to be cleaned. Cleaning it will prevent it from breaking down and requiring repairs, and that can get very expensive.

my breakfast sandwich just blasted thick ropes onto my keyboard fuck my life. She might as well be smoking a cigarette right now look at this

Basically, the clean-energy revolution is still on, it's just that Western countries have fallen asleep at the wheel

I'm watching Metropolis, a movie from 1927, and thought to question whether it's in the public domain or not. Surely it had to be, right? It's nearly a hundred years old, everyone involved in its creation is long dead, surely, surely it's so clearly part of the cultural commons that it can't not be in the public domain.

But alas, while it's in the public domain in the United States since 2022:

Under current EU copyright law, the film will remain under copyright in Germany and the rest of the European Union until the end of 2046, 70 years after Fritz Lang's death.

Absolutely unconscionable. This movie was made during the Weimar Republic!
