Hi! Love your world building and critters, and I just wanted to ask how big/small are the buggles and Googs compared to humans? (sorry if you've answered this before).

Thank you for asking! Buggles are a bit more 5 feet in length on average, and Googgs are around a 2 feet tall and 2 and a half long.

Here's a picture i made for reference

Decibel Boost Album Roundup (MAK Music Version): MARCH

Music for March!! Yeah, it's a long one!

I had a feeling this would happen. January and February were such dry months for music and when it got to March…. It increased! By a lot! So, not only was this month packed with music, it’s in the double digits. Granted, I covered months that had a bunch of albums (i.e. June 2018) larger than this but still, there were some records that I took time to listen to. Hell, most of them were EPs so it…

[thebibliosphere]

My husband and I were discussing how the first felon is defending the FDA and how the quality control of our food is gonna basically disappear and I proceeded to have so much anxiety about it that I didn't sleep last night. How do we prepare for this? Is there a way to make food safe at home? How can we avoid getting poisoned from the grocery store? Sorry for bringing this anxiety to your inbox but I'm exhausted and scared and I'm hoping you've come up with food safety tips what with your general food complications.

I’m afraid I don’t have a solution for something of this scale and am just as equally terrified, but that said:

Check your local state regulations. Some states actually have strict testing that the FDA when it comes to certain things like milk. See if they are listing any recalls.

Stop eating things raw for the foreseeable future. Wash and cook everything thoroughly, even if the bag claims it’s pre-washed, wash it again. Cooking will also help eliminate any remaining pathogens. It means no more salads for a while but that’s okay.

For things like fruit, try to go with things that have an outer skin that can be taken off. If it requires you to cut into it with a knife, give the outer skin a scrub and rinse to reduce the chances of your knife being contaminated by anything like e-coli and then contaminating the insides by cutting it up.

For fruit that can’t be peeled, make sure to inspect and wash them thoroughly. If you are immunocompromised like me, consider cooking it down into a jam or pie filling to reduce further risk. Not as fun as eating it fresh for some people, but it’s a valid way of still getting the flavor and nutrients.

For things like milk, only drink pasteurized and ultra pasteurized. Try to get pasteurized eggs if you can too.

If you don’t have a meat thermometer, now is the time to get one. Make sore everything is cooked to its required internal temperature. For poultry, the recommended temperature is 165°F (74°C), while for beef and pork, the recommended temperature is 145°F (63°C) with a 3-minute rest time. Ground meats should be cooked to 160°F (71°C). Eggs should be cooked until the yolk is set. No more runny egg yolks for a bit until we get a competent source of information back about bird flu.

For things like flour, try to go for reputable brands that have their own independent testing facilities for things like gluten. They also usually test for other things and clean their facilities thoroughly. My go to is King Arthur atm.

Also, stop eating raw cookie dough if you’re not going to toast the flour in the oven first. That’s how a lot of people get sick, not necessarily from the raw egg, though stop eating raw egg right now if you do. Again, bird flu. [Addendum] I learned the flour trick in a job I used to work, but apparently, the pre-defunded FDA didn't think toasting the flour made it safe, so maybe just don't eat raw cookie dough. And I know someone's going to be a cunt in the notes like "I don't care I do what I want" good for you, hope saying that made you feel better.]

This is a dwindling possibility with the tariffs but try to buy food imported from other countries that still have food quality control. I get my masa harina from a small company that imports directly from Colombia. They can’t afford the gluten free label required to be classified as such in the USA, but considering Cheerios in the USA can afford to buy that label and the celiac foundation certification logo and still routinely sells contaminated produce due to not using gluten free oats and a mechanical sorting system that can’t be certified gluten free (1) (2) (3), I’m more inclined to go with other countries labeling right now.

With clean water under threat, use a filter for your drinking water. We currently use the ones by Life Straw. They don’t fit into your faucet but the LS filters are better than most of the ones that can be attached that way and the housing of the jugs and countertop filters are easy to clean. Make sure you do so once a week and change the filters as directed.

Most of this is just basic food hygiene stuff combined with what it’s like to be immunocompromised, but it’s always worth repeating in case someone didn’t know, but especially worth repeating right now with all our rules and regulating bodies going out the window 😞

pouty cuddles [drabble]

mingyu comes home after a day of filming gose and everyone's been meaner to him than usually. what else could he need than being in your arms and dramatically complain about his members, who he loves dearly?

TAGS: kim mingyu x gn!reader, fluff, established relationship, the members are mean to mingyu but he's handling it like a champ (he isn't)

WORD COUNT: 800 words

a/n: my first seventeen fic !! i haven't written fanfics in a minute and i'm a bit rusty so it's shorter than what i will post in the future, but i hope that y'all will enjoy it nevertheless :) please let me know what you think and happy reading !!

Mingyu was pouting. His lower lip was slightly puffed, his cheeks looked a little rounder than they usually did, and his eyes, his eyes were big and brown as they looked right into yours. His head was resting on your chest close to your chin, and Mingyu could not stop staring at your face. His arms were wrapped around your waist, and he seemed comically small in that moment. 

Your left hand softly caressed the warm skin on his back, as the fingers on your right slowly played with his curls. Mingyu sighed quietly and leaned into your touch, not before exaggerating his pout just a little bit more. It was enough to make you coo at him and press a butterfly kiss on the tip of his nose.

“They were mean to me,” Mingyu said, the pout ever so evident in his voice. You suppressed a laugh and indulged in his behaviour. “Who was mean to you, baby?”

Mingyu closed his eyes at the pet name and pressed his body even closer to yours. His body felt heavy on yours, but still comfortable. The warmth radiating from his body was enough to keep you warm, to keep you happy. 

“The members,” he mumbled, and shuffled a bit further up. Nuzzling his face into your neck, he complained: “They said I’m always scared.”

It took you a lot of self restraint to not start laughing. Granted, Mingyu had not been telling you what today’s episode was about, but considering you know how your boyfriend behaved in certain situations, the members’ statement was not that far off from the truth. Yet, the pout on Mingyu’s face was enough to have you reconsider agreeing with them, even playfully. Instead, you opted for lightly scratching his head and pressing a kiss on top of his hair. “My poor baby.”

“Yes, I am,” Mingyu nodded. His lips grazed the skin of your neck and you smiled, hugging him closer to your chest. In response, Mingyu hummed and kissed the same spot softly. He kept kissing you over and over again, until he started speaking again.

“I’m not actually mad at them,” he confessed, and you hummed, “Who would have thought.”

“HOWEVER,” he interrupted you sassily, another pout already forming on his plush lips, “I’m not scared of everything.”

You smiled at him, but Mingyu only furrowed his eyebrows. Your right hand wandered further down from his hair to his forehead, to massage the worry line gently. 

“I’m not scared of being with you,” Mingyu confessed quietly. His eyes flickered back down, feeling less confident now that you reciprocated his gaze. “I’m not scared of committing to you. To give myself to you.”

It was your turn to furrow your eyebrows now. You tried to sit up straight, but Mingyu would not let you. Instead, you opted for hugging him with both of your arms around his neck. 

“Where’s that coming from, darling?”

Mingyu whined and put his head back into place right in the crease of your neck, right on top of your shoulder. 

“Just been thinking ‘bout marriage a lot lately, that’s all,” he replied casually, not knowing that the simple words made your heart beat just a little bit faster than it already did. 

“Yeah?” you replied breathlessly, trying your best to maintain your breathing. Mingyu nodded again, sounding a bit more insecure this time. “If that’s what you’re considering too. No pressure if you’re not interested. I mean, I would be hurt by it, but I respect any decision you might mak-” 

Giggling, you pulled Mingyu’s head up to press a kiss on his lips. Your hand was holding his cheek and caressing the soft skin below your fingertips. In turn, Mingyu’s eyes returned to your face, the same big and brown eyes you had grown to love. The pout was evident on his lips again, and in response, you kissed him over and over again, until the lovesick frown returned to his brows, his eyes softer than you have ever seen them.

“Of course I’ve been thinking about it too,” you admitted, pressing another kiss on the tip of his nose. Mingyu turned his head upwards, trying to catch your lips with his. He whined when you pulled away, his lips returning to his natural pout. 

“Baby,” he said, his eyes switching back and forth between your eyes and your lips, “that’s unfair. I’m still sad. Why are all of you always mean to me?”

You cooed and littered his entire face with kisses. Mingyu giggled at your antics and sighed contentedly. For now, you did not have to know that his members had been nagging him about proposing to you. The box he was hiding in his sock drawer was also completely unrelated to his theatrics.

good day. I make bad comics

second one is based on something @mak-to-the-future said in their ji voice LOL

[mohammedalmooo5]

Hello, my friend,

I'm Mohammed from Gaza. 🇵🇸

Unfortunately, the Zionist occupation destroyed our house, injured my brother, and took my father prisoner. My mother's health has deteriorated and she is in the hospital.

The war is back again, but it's more brutal and fierce. We are homeless, the crossings are closed, and prices are skyrocketing.

We have no breadwinner. We need support, we need hope, we need life. All we have are your prayers, but we need you for our survival.

What are some lessons that you need to learn?

Paid readings

Buy me a coffee!!

Check out my other readings

Pile 1-

Work hard, work very hard do not worry about the results I understand that this sounds cliche and extremely painful but the time that you spend on complaining can also instead become the time that you spend working hard on. Sometimes you have to work hard to get opportunities as well and that's what you have to do. When we talk about working hard you need to understand that being patient and diligent with your hardwork also comes under hardwork so when I say you need to work hard I am not saying that you don't do so all I'm saying is that you have to also be patient and keep working hard unless the opportunity presents itself to you which I promise you it will. I think this pile will work hard in their young ages and then have a stable, safe and prosperous life in the future. Another lesson that you need to learn is to balance the plate sure you might have alot on your plate but that does not necessarily mean that your plate has to break it can solely be held with a better technique to stop it from breaking. Learn how to manage not to get overwhelmed when you have alot to do.

Pile 2-

Learn how to confront when necessary. Do not shy away telling yourself lies such as oh I don't have to do this oh it's not needed oh just let it go. Don't try to be the bigger person bc you are not. Learn to stand up for yourself and call out other people and their actions when needed. Learn to take a stand, defend yourself and what you believe to be right. Also learn to be brave in the face of opposition as well don't be a coward. What's that quote oh yes "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor" the happiness and peace that you think you will receive by staying silent and not taking anyone's side will actually find you when you start taking side of the right opinions.

Pile 3-

Let go of control. I know you have the best intentions I know you cannot seem to help it but if you truly want to do what's the best, please let go of the thread a little bit. Relax your hands, breathe a little. You are a perfectionist, elder daughter giving others work but then immediately doing it by themselves afterwards because you cannot relax. Well, learn how to because it just harms you and works against you even when you have the best intentions. This pile has to learn how to breathe and let other people breathe stop being disappointed by people without even giving them the opportunity to do so I understand they might not be as competent as you but this does not mean that they are not working hard. You also have to learn to not give up too easily you might give 100% of yourself to something and then because of getting burned out/exhausted you end up walking away right when your reward is about to yield. What you can do in this sense is Instead of putting 100% in the beginning you can just put 70% so that you don't immediately lose your energy by the end. Release control and stop panicking try to balance yourself and control your demeanor. Drink water and practice breathing exercises as well as meditation

Pile 4-

More choices lead to more confusion. The more you know about something, the more confused you gets. This does not mean that you should not do your research before making a decision or committing yourself to something however it's important that you make sure that you do not just get stuck on the decision making progress instead of actually making a decision. Sometimes things are only hard because we are not sure ourselves instead of finding the piece of the puzzle outside whenever you are stuck anywhere try to find it inward. The answers are within you only. This reminds me of the leap of faith concept in spiderman. Loss of something should scare you from loving as it does to everyone else however it should not stop you from doing so. Loving and losing is as natural to life as breathing. To make a room for a new tv you first have to remove the old one just like this in order to get new better you have to first remove the old things. Remember that change is the only constant thing to life and no loss however big should disrupt your ability to have childlike wonder.
