I need to know more about how other people make tea. I thought we all made tea in more-or-less the same way: get water hot (kettle, microwave, fancy extra sink faucet, etc,) put hot water in vessel if necessary, add tea (loose leaf, bagged,) wait some amount of time, separate tea leaves from liquid tea. Now we have tea.

Religion is a tool for giving meaning to the world we live in. Science is a tool for understanding it. There's no reason the two should be in conflict. Except when people lose track of what they're for and try to make them overlap. People who use God to explain where we come from and where we're going and people who use the scientific method to decide who and what is worthwhile are both at fault in this.

I agree with Scott Meyer. Tron is an animated Disney classic.

We need more cards that make specific tokens. The Tarmogoyf tokens from MH3 commander are nice, but also why not go off the deep end? Everything can be a token if you really want it to!
The Knifeketeer's artist's web comic can be found here:

Tensions and division between groups of people in society are not because of the conditions of our birth, not cultural, not ethnic, not geographic; but because our brains are built to make us feel good about belonging to a group of people and excluding others. These tensions are not inevitable, but they are the result of emotional immaturity that we can overcome.
That's all.

Novice sewing pattern: Cut out shapes. Line up the little triangles on the edges. Stitch edges together. We've also included step-by-step assembly instructions with illustrations.
Novice knitting pattern: yOU MUSt uNDerstANd thE SECret cOdE CO67 (73, 87, 93) BO44 (63, 76, 90) 28 (32, 34) slip first pw repeat 7x K to end *kl (pl) 42 * until 13" (13, 13, 15) join new at 30 pl for 17 rows ssk 27 k2tog mattress lengthwise BO and sacrifice a goat to the knitting gods. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WANT "INSTRUCTIONS," I JUST GAVE THEM TO YOU
#knitting#no it's not a real pattern but I can't write one that makes sense because I have no freaking clue what any of that means#How do you make things that aren't basic rectangles#Why has every knitter I've asked for help just said 'patterns are easy; you just have to know how to read them' & then refused to teach me#Where do I even find a goat to sacrifice#How do I join the pattern cult#I am so confused#I've been knitting for almost a decade but I can only make scarves and potholders#I learned one (1) stitch by watching a YouTube video and none of my friends or family knit so I have no IRL resources#And nobody I meet seems to want to take the time to explain the rest to me#I taught myself to sew through trial and error but that doesn't really work with knitting because error is pretty much just... Unraveling?#Anyway sorry for the tag rant I'm just frustrated that I see pretty things I want to make but the instructions are in an alien language#And the gap between 'absolute novice' and 'intermediate' seems to be about 20 years of experience and formal instruction

Shots fired by the Spider-man sequels.
Was ruminating on how Miles and Miguel are technically both 'Spider-man 2' in their respective universes. Got me thinking about the other Spider-successors in the cast, and also what if they all got matching T-shirts or something.

#Bringing back Peter’s ITSV insecurity from his mid-life spider-crisis to document his hard swerve into “dad & mentor” in real time#Miles is wearing a variation of the Hobie watch because I cant see post-ATSV Miles wearing a watch with Miguel's parental controls on it#Miguel is reading the instructions for assembling a couch from IKEA 2099#he has to build a new one for the breakroom b/c the last one died to T-rex butt#Basically I had an idea that involved learning how to draw Ben Reilly and jumped on it. His comic inking look is weirdly nostalgic for me.#my art#miles morales#ben reilly#miguel o'hara#mayday parker#scarlet spider#ultimate spider man#spider man 2099#spider girl#spider man#peter b parker#peter parker#across the spiderverse#atsv#may parker#into the spiderverse#atsv fanart#spider man: across the spider verse#miles morales prowler#prowler miles#miles 42#the cooler spider man#the cooler miles#that's not a bit he's just legitimately the cooler Miles#spider-man
