Would you prefer backstabbed wires or loose screws on your electrical outlets? Either way, the potential for electrical outlets burning is almost the same. Electrical connections must be tight! This kitchen countertop electrical receptacle outlet from the 1980s was hidden behind an appliance, explaining how it wasn't noticed. Fortunately, there was enough slack on the wires to remain compliant with National Electrical Code Article 300.14, and to install a new GFCI receptacle outlet. https://MrElectrician.TV

Newly upholstered chair, first time doing anything like this. Paid $4 at garage sale. Refinished wood, stripped down to springs, new padding, webbing, burlap. Total supplies used ~$65, time ~25+ hours?!?, idk it felt like forever!

The cats loved to scratch on this...

i was sending my dad periodic photos of pipes so he could feel involved (it’s important to provide enrichment for him or he starts trouble) and he went through several stages of disbelief and amazement when he realized that i fully intended to handle the entire situation myself and after i admitted to having to hire a plumber he called me and very kindly offered that the previous week he had had to pay someone to fix the kitchen faucet. if that made me feel better. and i said it did but the truth is that it changed nothing. i already know he’s bad at stuff

Michael Myers is so fine… something about a tall man who doesn't talk and is so passionate is just so hot like I just know he wouldn't kill me…

I’ve already attached this to a re-blog, but it feels like something that I want to post as a standalone as well. Sometimes I scream into the tumblr void about shit. Thanks to a gifted copy of The Body Keeps the Score I’m doing more DIY therapy work and processing some of my thoughts through the interwebs. So here’s a brain thing.

🎶Let’s talk about projection baby, let’s talk about you and me!!🎶 All joking aside, so many of us who deal with CPTSD use fictional works to process our trauma. We are outsourcing emotions and memories that we, for whatever reason, struggle to deal with unless there is some remove from the immediacy of them. We seek to find ourselves in characters, parallels in stories and situations for our own experiences. We live their struggles and triumphs as our own and so find catharsis within them. Aziraphale as a character is a particularly good example of this. He’s doing the thing so many of us who are trying to convince everyone else and ourselves that “we’re FINE, thank you!” do. He isn’t really processing his shit. He’s putting it on a third party to release some pressure before he completely loses it. And in so doing, us the audience, have gained a character that we both empathize and sympathize with, and in turn, use to work through much of our own trauma. I honestly think that’s why so many of us are waiting for S3 with bated breath. We need Az to figure it out. We need them both to heal. To defeat the odds. To find happiness. We’re all waiting for that because we need to believe that it’s something we can have too. If this Angel who foists 6 millennia of grief and rage and maddening questions about the “why” of everything off into an entire bookshop’s worth of stories and characters, if he can figure it out…surely we can too. Surely there is hope for us buried somewhere in the stacks. Surely there is some understanding that can be found, some catharsis or healing within the lines of these narratives. So we’re all holding our breath, our hope and our hearts, in our hands, waiting to finish the story, and in so doing, complete some part of ourselves. Finally framing those cracks where the light comes in, into something beautiful.

this really wouldn't work for my situation but it is a good design...

becoming an environmental scientist is all about finding new ways to torture yourself! for example, recently The Algorithm has decided to introduce me to videos of people DIY renovating their old homes with zero regard for lead (or mold or asbestos) and as a result i have to comment on every single one of these in a doomed effort to save people from their own stupidity

Based on every Instagram post that I’ve opened with sound on over the past month, I think it’s safe to say that this ain’t Texas (woo)
