Bamboo!! Bamboo socks are so comfortable, and sometimes you can find rayon made from bamboo!

If you see something saying modal, it’s made from beech tree cellulose!

The closest experience I've ever had to discovering "the vitamin" was buying a 100% wool outfit and wearing it in the winter.

Not only was I not freezing anymore, I was not sweating and overheating either. The horrible sensory nightmare of winter clothes disappeared.

In particular, I bought a pair of wool pants. They were a thrifted pair of fancy dress pants like you would wear at an important office job, and they were easily the most comfortable pair of winter-appropriate pants i'd ever worn. I wore them Every Single Day.

From that point on I realized a lot of my clothes were making me feel bad, and the common thread was polyester. Especially polyester blends.

It's a trap because the polyester clothes are the ones that always feel sooooo silky soft when they are in the store, whereas cotton, linen and wool can feel comparatively rough and scratchy. But when actually wearing them for hours throughout the day, it's the natural fibers that feel more comfortable.

Maybe the secret to sensory comfort is not about the presence of softness, but the absence of overloading sensations. Or maybe the sensory stress and agony is not triggered by texture of the fabric, but by how it breathes and regulates temperature.

Then there's the problem of clothing life span: polyester blends, no matter how soft they seem at first, become rough and scratchy and covered in hard, itchy pills after wearing them 10 or 20 times, whether or not they have been tumble-dried or even washed at all. (I tested it!) Linen and cotton become softer and more comfy the more you wear them, polyester but ESPECIALLY polyester blends become a constant stressor. Polyester blend t-shirts I used to love for their softness now feel bristly and irritating.

So now I'm trying to change my wardrobe to as many natural fibers as possible, and the more natural fiber clothes i have the more I realize that the plastic fibers stress me out. It's so easy to overheat or freeze in them and they're always degrading and becoming less comfortable and it sucks.

Holy mother of stashes

hi knitting tumblr. um i don't knit but my aunt recently passed and left behind a bunch of extremely high quality yarn. i know very little about yarn and even less about knitting, so i'd like to sell it, and i'm planning on trying ravelry and local facebook groups, but i wanted to see if there's anybody local who is interested.

i live in southern ontario, but the yarn is currently in central ontario. if there's enough interest i could do a yard sale instead of transporting the yarn home? let me know and we'll see

i'm attaching some pics to give an idea of what i've got. this is only a fraction of it. please let me know if you have any interest or know anyone who would be willing to purchase some! i'd also appreciate any more advice on sites, communities, etc. where i could offload some of it.

THINGS I HAVE BEEN SAYING FOREVERRRRRR

as a singer whose mother has a degree in vocal performance i am SICK AND TIRED of the hate jeff blim’s voice gets

yes jeff sings in falsetto (AND SOUNDS AMAZING DOING IT) but his higher register is not solely falsetto. he uses a head mix, mostly—note ‘handed to you’ in feast or famine for the head mix and the beginning of monsters and men for falsetto

as for the alleged overuse of vibrato; jeff blim is the oldest starkid member at forty-one. it is common sense i fear that vibrato increases with age?? his is probably not fully intentional, because it’s hard as hell to suppress vibrato and using it healthily also is more comfortable for the voice. it can also be pretty easy to tell when someone is faking vibrato; fake vibrato usually sounds tense or strained, and his is full and strong

additionally, i think most people’s gripes about his voice lie in its timbre. in his higher register especially, he’s got a very bright and sharp voice that even borders on shrill and/or metallic

you’re not obligated to like jeff blim’s voice. you’re not obligated to like ANYONE’S voice. you just need to know that it’s an opinion. don’t call his voice ‘bad,’ because it’s not bad at all

also yes my mother helped me write this

I ADORE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION. Like New York City was so fun because I could just like, hop on a train. No waiting in traffic, finding parking, worries about gas mileage, and I got to people watch. Driving is fucking stressful sign me up for more public transit

“Nobody’s going to want to sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours to get from New York City to LA.”

Me. I will sit on high-speed rail for fifteen hours. I’ll sit on it for days. I’ll write and read and nap and eat and then do it all over again. I’ll stare out the windows and see America from ground level and not have to drive. I’ll see the Rockies and the deserts and cornfields and the Mississippi River and your house and yours and yours too. I’ll make up stories in my head about the small towns I see as we go along. I’ll see the states I’ve yet to see because driving or flying there is a fucking slog and expensive to boot. I’ll enjoy the ride as much as the destination. And then I’ll do it all over again to come the fuck home.

1. I WILL ARGUE TO THE END OF TIME THAT ITS NOT EVEN THE FALSETTO THAT IS THE ISSUE IT REALLY IS MORE HOW HE PROJECTS IT AS IT CAN BE PIERCING AND SOUND ‘OFF’ WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY IN TUNE

2. Thousands of all of us would be dead lbr

I keep seeing people insult Jeffs falsetto in Cinderellas Castle and I have two things to say:

1. I am a Jeff Blim Falsetto Defender until I die. The man grants us these unfathomable bangers of songs I say we let him do what he wants. And on top of that I confess I actually really love his voice in this show specifically bc it gives me 80s rockstar vibes which fits the tone

2. Can you imagine if he sang in his bass range while dressed as the Narrator because I genuinely think this show would've had casualties if that happened. Thousands of bisexuals dead
