This is going to be short bc i already have a post up explaining this situation, but I started having seizures, which led to medical costs I couldn't handle bc I have an autoimmune disorder that's been going untreated for years. I got the appts covered bc of an extremely generous friend on here, and had some additional medication costs which I thankfully had enough for. I've been applying to at least 10 jobs a day and had tons of interviews. I'm going through interviews and assessments for several jobs (got more scheduled for tomorrow) Then my card got stolen, and now I am screwed as far as rent goes, even if one of these jobs comes through like today we will still fall short because rent is due on the 1st and we don't get a grace period. I am trying to get the money that was taken when my card was stolen back, but I have been told to wait to hear back after submitting all the details, and have yet to hear back.
Dm me for proof or more details. I will do art for anyone who helps with this and you can commission me at my art blog @theartistrans I just desperately need to get rent. My roommates and I have a huge food garden planted and are working towards self-sufficiency, which we have no hope of if we can't pay rent.

Tried a bit of dyeing. The buckthorn berries out front are a lot harder to get than last year, but luckily they're a pretty potent dyestuff, and a handful or two is enough to dye an armful or so of wool.
Last year i got a beautiful golden green.
This year... at first, kind of blueish purple ? I ended up doing a quick test to see how it feels about being alkali or acidic. The acidic one basically just turned white again, which is kind of hihilarious. The alkali one though turned a bit green. In my test I didn't add any extra dye broth, just fresh water and lemon juice/baking soda.
Ive gotten better results adding a bunch of dye liquid into the alkali pot though, so I tried it here. We'll see the results. This id definitely a more blue green than yellow green like my last one.
Ive read that you get bluer dye the earlier the berries are harvested, which checks out here. Last year it was late summer and I picked dried berries from the ground. This year, they have just started ripening in earnest and are not dried.
Anyway, did not weigh anything of course but it was maybe 2 double handfuls of fresh early berries and an armful of wool mordanted in alum. First I cooked the berries on low, then mashed them, cooked a little longer on low (maybe 3 hours total), added the mordanted wool, cooked for another 3 or so hours. Then added to alkali bath with lots of extra dye broth.
With the exhaust, which is just as strong looking, I added another armful of wool, this time unmordanted, with a glug or so of copper mordant. Partway thru pouring I realized, ah, the copper mordant is suspended in vinegar so this will be acidic so I will probably get no color.
Curious if that will be true. If it takes on no color before I go to bed I will probably add a lot of baking soda and see what that does. But I'm hoping copper mordant = even stronger green.
I also read that if you can remove the buckthorn skins you can get blue.... now that would be a treat. It sounds labor intensive but I want to try it later if I can. Ive never gotten blue with foraged materials before.
Wool I'm using is clun forest x shetland.
Few other things: I've noticed recently that berries seem to produce much better results if you can cook them on low for only a short while. 3 hours counts as short in the world of natural dyeing; I've had dyepots on for 48 hours pretty regularly. Onion skins for example do best if you can get every last scrap of color from the skins, which can take several days. Berries, though...not so much. I think this could explain my pokeberry issues. I hope i can try with them again.

Hi Berry !! :D
I’d like to contribute to the Hueka thighs/ass/boobs type of guy thoughts!!
I personally like to think he’s both an ass AND thighs type of man. So, imagine going to the beach/pool with him and poor baby can’t help but look at your lower parts :(
It’s the first time seeing you in a bathing suit/bikini and he’s so sooooo flustered and tries SO BAD to not have a boner right then and there. But you notice, of course you do and OF COURSE YOUD RILE HIM UP until he can’t take it anymore.
Kai dragging you back to your hotel room that happens to have a private pool🤭🤭🤭🤭🤭 and fucking you in those chairs that people usually use to tan themselves, groping your ass and thighs all the time(there’ll certainly be a few faint bruises by tomorrow morning) and bonus points if you have a cute tummy :( he’ll make sure to praise you all the time
OHMYGOD ELLA UR BRAIN DHSKLD I-
this turned into a chubby reader kinda thing (am i projecting? yes x) but goddd this ask just killed me in the best way
kai's the kinda guy who just loves squish. no matter what part of your body, he just loves your soft squishy skin~ especially if ur pudgy >.<
and when he sees all your squishiness unclothed for the first time his brain is going HAYWIRE. he wants to touch you, kiss you, cuddle you, squeeze you - but instead, he's willing himself not to get a boner in public - stuttering out a 'y-you look beautiful.." and trying to look anywhere but your cute lil tummy :( but then he looks down away from it and boom.. squishy thighs !! he thinks he's finally safe when you turn around to walk down to the water.. but no! ur cute booty is peeking out of the bottom of your bikini bottoms :3
he's just so so enamoured with you and when you're under the water swimming together he takes a risk and squishes u a lil bit !! hands all over you, kisses all over your cheeks... trailing down your neck... and- "hyuka... our friends are here~ be good okay?"
cue a day full of both fun and painful teasing hehehehe
he's obsessed with the curve of your belly, the swell of your breasts, the peachiness of your butt. boy is WHIPPED by both how cute and how sexy you are <3
be careful how much you tease him tho, cause once you get back to that hotel pool, sun setting and friends all gone he is going to TOWN the second he has your permission djsdkj leaves kisses and hickies alllll over your squish - thighs, belly, boobs covered in bruises and spit from his overexcited kisses. he's a biter too - leaving his cute lil teeth marks sunk into your skin while he pushes you back into the sun chair. he's eager and excited and so so cute :( my baby
gah he'd take you so softly and lovingly, hands and lips never leaving your chest and tummy as he fucks you so sweetly :( no matter how much you teased him and he wants to fuck you senseless, he wants this moment to be special and loving and sweet. he's big big on body worship, making sure you know he loves you and every part of you - obsessed with your jiggle and squish :(
he'll grab your ass as he fucks deeper into you, sighing and moaning with you at the sight of your body moving with his thrusts - tits and belly jiggling so cutely !! your thighs cling to his sides and he's just.. he's just so obsessed. he wants to cum on your thighs so bad ~ and so he does! a sticky mess between ur warm squishy thighs >.<
it may be the first time he ravishes your pretty body like this, but he makes a promise to himself that it definitely won't be the last <3
