god i cant stop thinking about the DANA.
about a year ago, the local government cut the funding towards the emergency programs because they "were useless"
the climate agency had been warning about what was about to happen for days but they waited until 8pm to issue an emergency warning so people would work through the day. by that time, several communities had already been completely flooded.
the police advised people to get their cars out of the garage because they would probably flood. the streets flooded with hundreds of cars floating around hitting all shorts of infrastructure and people
a DANA or gota fría is a meteorological event that happens when part of a cold current is isolated inside a warm one causing very intense rain. how intense? 630 l/m² in 24 hours. climate change will only make this worse
(satellite images of valencia before and after the DANA)
so far, there are more than 200 confirmed deaths
this is such a nightmare. we couldn't have prevented the rain, but this didn't have to be such a tragedy. la generalitat has failed the valencian people.
NOMÉS EL POBLE SALVA EL POBLE
(please reblog to spread awareness. the people of valencia need help)
When the study group consists of a fifth grader, a vocational training student and two college students. We are actually getting a lot of things done.
In my country the climate is weird, we've got some cold fronts coming, so obviously with the drastic change of temperature I got a cold(in the mornings we need have a coat but during evenings you can perfectly go in tank tops), but I need to make a presentation for Thursday, so reading this is a must, when I finish I'm probably going to sleep till tomorrow evening
Things done today
- Started the wips of two of my final presentations (got all the bibliography and the started it)
- Studied for chemistry
- Started my art history presentation
Hi friends!
So I've been doing this 30 day productivity (30dop) challenge and I didn't intend on making it a proper challenge when I started but some people have been showing interest so I thought I'd just lay out some basics and also give you some prompts! By no means am I suggesting that I created this challenge, I know a lot of people do things like this, I just wanna help some people out.
The basics of what you need to know:
This challenge is open to ANYONE, studying, working, preparing for something, people who are just bored
You can start this challenge at any time during the year
'Productivity' is a purely subjective term. You may classify simply reading a book as making a day productive (it really does)
So basically, do at least one thing you consider productive, every day for 30 days!
Tag your challenge posts with #30dop so others can follow along; I'll track this tag but may not reblog
If you do want me to interact and reblog your posts, tag the posts #heydilli (this is my tracking tag so you can use this for other posts too)
If this sounds good to you, keep scrolling for some daily prompts!
excuse my terrible digital handwriting T-T
Some additional info in case you're worried about any of this:
You don't have to use the prompts I provide, they are optional (I probably won't even use them for my own posts tbh)
Don't stress if you post late/miss a few days, everyone knows I'm struggling too
You don't have to post pictures if you don't want to/can't
Basically this is a very open-ended challenge you can mould it and change it however you want to suit your preferences/needs
If you need some help with formatting, you can either check out the tag #30dop or check my blog for my 30dop posts, but generally I recommend including these:
Day #/30; date; your summary of the day and answer to prompt; song rec or something you're currently reading
And that is all I have for you guys, but if you wanna talk about any of the above or if you just wanna be mutuals, DM me or otherwise my inbox is always open <3
Good luck and thank you for reading!!
xx dilli
Tell me you are fucked with out telling it, I'm starting, I have to make a 10.000 word easy for tomorrow and I only got a little bit over the middle of the essay, I say middle because Google docs does not count the notes you make, so that makes it's roughly 5.000 words. And tomorrow I have to work so I'm probably going to end up like today, working my ass off because I thought I could do it in a week.
Welp, you need to learn in some way. The good thing is that my essay is heavily influenced by photos, so it's going to be easier to instead of doing 10.000 words do like 7.000 and call it a day.
i love the crochet girlies that make free patterns esp video tutorials i cant wait to make mini moo dengs for my friends
Goodness, I love it!! You are quite talented!
after months in the making. my tma-inspired tapestry is finally complete :’) designed and handmade by me, crochet with embroidered lettering <333 some close ups under the cut
excuse the dog hair lol. might try some more blocking to see if i can get the bottom to straighten out but i was too excited to see her finally finished not to share!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+ bonuses of one of the sticky note doodles i made for the spiral panel when i first had the idea all the way back in MARCH!!!! and also the very first test panel!!!!! yes i did design and physically test how things translated to crochet entity by entity!!!!!
ok last thing i would love nothing more than to info dump about this whole project so if there’s anything you are curious about pls feel free to shoot me an ask and i will ramble 👉👈
This is the first and last time I'm going to talk about this, so listen, I'm not going to talk about anything concerning political reasons, except the Dana in Valencia because I needed to help spread the information for all the Spanish people I could, is it selfish, probably, do I give a fuck, no, it's my blog and I'm going to talk about whatever makes me confortable, the point of this is for people stop sending me gaza and other catastrophe related asks, I'm not going to answer them, they make me uncomfortable because I can't donate to go fund me, I help in other ways, like in campaigns of food/clothes... Where I actually donate the things they ask for. It's good that we help each other, but I'm centering in my country and my mental health, because that is also important.
And remember, it's your blog, talk about whatever you are comfortable without having to take any side, your ideals and your online persona doesn't have to be on display 24/7.
And for the people that might tell me that in with Israel or Rusia no I'm not, I'm with Palestine and Ukraine, I just hate talking about wars and the climax of insecurities is causing, I already talk a lot about it in my real life that I don't want my online persona to also be dominated by it.
Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)
I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.
Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth
But have you seen the costume she's wearing??
It's gorgeous, obviously.
But that texture! It's *crochet*
And some knitting
Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.
Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.
Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire
I like how the one dude had to sit down twice he was so overwhelmed
3/30day of productivity
I have to make a reproduction of the head in the background for my introduction to volume class, and I just want to say that is harder than I expected it to be, because clay is weird to work with, along with the fact that I've never done this is my life
