So.
(Deep sigh)
I have an entire drawer marked, "Hinges & hardware," & just discovered that all of those "new old stock" hinges have only a single hinge in each packet.
And they're all different. 🙄
So, I went to #TheVulcan's hardware stash, & just had to share everything that
...is NOT a door hinge.
Ever since I started re-selling, the Vulcan has taken anything that didn't sell, salvaged the hardware from it, & saved it for future use.
Meaning, even though we have NORMAL hardware like this...
We also have things like this:
-cabinet soft-close hinges
-door stops
-metal gears for SOMETHING
-bearings from God knows how many Nordic Tracks.
Ooh, this is actually my stuff. Why is it over here? 😂
I have no idea where these came from, but they're cool.
#TheVulcan got a bunch of hardware for attempting to make chess pieces.
Probably old gate hardware from his dad's family farm:
Hey, it includes a set of hinges!
(But they're way too small for a giant teak door.)
Cool looking gears, some scrap metal, &...I think that's a radial arm saw that we got for free, & thought we'd never use, & #TheVulcan took it apart to save space? I forgot about that! I wonder if it will still work...?
And here's some stuff I'm not going to get to, bc that would mean moving the giant-ass chevron table top I made last winter, & still hasn't sold. 🙄
So yeah, that's our hardware stash, lol.

Oh.
/Oh!/
So, this is the land where Trump's loopholes live.
I'm guessing he, or someone who handles him, knows exactly what these different departments can & can't...
I've mentioned our 18 yro babysitter in Ohio, who didn't know what an ovary was, right?
I've also known of a pastor & his wife who, while prepping for the wedding of church members, had to explain to the bride *what sex was,* b/c no one had ever told her. 💔
Any sexual thought, feeling, or attraction, not experienced in a heterosexual monogamous marriage, towards ones own spouse, was a source of OVERWHELMING shame.
This is the kind of shame that would render you immobile for days.
You all know I've made some *weird & wild* connections over the years.
I'm about to make the weirdest one yet, so get ready:
A piece of James Bond #Fanfiction proves that the govt has been lying to us about #COVID19.
Seriously, & I wish I was joking.
Let me explain.
In 2019, I discovered that people have written entire novels, some of them VERY long, about existing fictional universes.
Even better, they're FREE on Archive of Our Own!
I could download them on the free Evie voice reader, & have them read aloud to me while I...
...do boring, repetitive, tasks.
There are over 400 stories that wrote Ben Whitmarsh's "Q" character in the James Bond movies as a 3rd brother to Sherlock & Mycroft Holmes, which I think is hilarious.
(Please remember, before Covid, I was going back to school, to b/c a Psych
If they knew this what exactly did they think would happen?
Did they expect our mitochondria to just GROW BACK like a fingernail?
HOLY SHIT:
"During early infection, mitochondrial gene expression was altered in the brain even though no SARS-CoV-2 was detected there, consistent with a systemic response to the virus."
@karamellslp ...in the first place. In my experience, it's not possible to jump ship from one set of beliefs to another---it has to be a long, slow, sometimes painful, process.
@karamellslp The problem is that, meanwhile, anyone who is pregnant, or on any spectrum of queer, still has to listen to the judgement of someone who has *no relationship at all* to their lives. The idea that we would have any input in the medical or marital decisions of other people is...
@karamellslp ...laughable.
Who are we to decide which families can live together?
Who are we to say that a pregnant woman w/cancer has no choices regarding, "Do I fight to keep this baby, or fight to stay alive to care for my other two at home?"
