I Thought My Laptop Was On Its Last Leg Because It Was Running At Six Billion Degrees And Using 100%

One of the best ways to make an edible is to take weed you don’t care about (really old, lots of sticks, etc) and make weed butter. Bear in mind that with this method your whole house will smell like weed.

I like to use the full fat plugra or Kerrygold but you can use any type of butter you want. Melt the butter in a pot with about 4 cups of water, keep it around 145 degrees. While you’re doing that, toast your weed in the oven on a sheet pan at a verrrry low temperature (145 degrees is what you’re aiming for) for about 15 minutes.

Once the butter is melted and your weed has been lightly baked, wrap your weed in some cheese cloth and make a lil bundle and steep it in the pot like a tea. Leave it for 3hrs. The THC gets absorbed by the fat in the butter. After that, pull the pot off of heat, squeeze out your weed bundle of as much liquid as possible, and put the pot in the fridge for about 4 hours, overnight if possible. The butter will separate to the top of the water, and then you can pull it off, dab it dry with a paper towel. Voila, now you have weed butter that will taste like ass but you can put it in cookies, brownies, cakes, etc. I made a coffee cake outta mine that had some of the most hardened stoners I know one their backs for like a whole day.

Happy baking 💖💖

omggg thankyou

VIRGOMOON'S BLACK MUSIC COLLECTION: a series of playlists where i collect black artists from various genres to showcase the talent of my community; particularly that outside of typical genres you see us in.

black people created rock btw: my magnum opus. as the title suggests, here is rock music made by black people or bands that feature at least one black musician, particularly the lead singer and/or songwriter. classic rock, pop punk, hardcore, punk rock, goth, and more. this includes rap rock remixes and rock inspired rap tracks. songs range anywhere from the 60s to now.

a southern gothic tale: this playlist is just like the above, except featuring black artists who make primarily country music. there's bluegrass, folk, blues, and the like here. including covers and crossover songs. again, older music as well as newer tracks are featured here.

black alternative: black music that isn't just generic "pop", "rap", or "rnb". nothing wrong with those genres, of course, but obviously, we make all kinds of music and deserve to be recognized there too. here you'll find hyper-pop, bedroom pop, indie pop, dark pop; all those trendy sub - genres.

juicy fruit, certified bubble yum: bonus points if you know the song the title is from. anyway, here's bubblegum pop by black artists because for some reason black pop girls get labeled as "urban" and "rnb" when they're not? not necessarily? music from the 80s and on.

black girl punk!: punk and punk adjacent music from alternative black women in music. including fem presenting artists.

we've always been here: a new addition to the collection! this is every song from the various playlists collected into one major playlist. the only missing one is juicy fruit, as i wanted to showcase more unknown / underground artists and/or the songs from known artists that are a little more obscure because they're showcasing alternative genres than what we're used to from them. for example, don't hurt yourself from beyonce. a blues rock song from a known pop artist. still adding music to it as of april 2025.

hiii do you have any tips for home gardeners who want to grow garlic? :^) hope you're having a nice day!

Choose between hardneck and softneck (you can do elephant but its a leek family member and idk anything about it) Hardneck gives you scapes and is more cold hardy (requires cold temps tbh). Softneck does better if it gets hot where you are (i am in THE desert.) and stores a lot better (this is braiding garlic) but has no scapes and the flavor is milder than hardneck.

you dont have to do beds bc garlic is a set it and forget it type crop. but they look pretty and professional.

last year we planted in mid November and did 12 inch apart rows of 6 inch spacing between bulbs and got great results (broke all records in terms of yield and size and germination rates in the 10 years the farms been operating) but we have also spent ten years selectively getting bigger and bigger seed garlic

when you buy seed garlic im not sure how it comes but honestly you could probably get some from a farmers market and do well with it and if you are taking from a head of (softneck, idk hardneck) garlic, break off the top part of the stem, peel back the outer layers of the paper, and split the cloves apart carefully as to not rip or remove any paper on the cloves themselves. They should go into the ground with their jackets on, we’re not building a nudist colony, they’ll rot in the ground if they go in naked. Feel free to take photos and notes of damaged ones if you decide to plant them & you can see what the germination rates are like. Do not plant ones with any rot, dead spots, mold, or squish. Plant with the pointed stem side up and the flat root side down. I find it easiest to lay them out in a line and then go through with either a piece of rebar or an asparagus weeder to make a hole and drop them in. There should be 2 inches of soil on top of each clove.

They do better if they get a kind of snowy, wet winter, aka lots of water in the spring when they start really germinating

you should plant before the first real frost date but we got away with planting in mid November last year

we have shit desert soil so what we do is plant, spread a layer of compost, spread a (thin) layer of leaves, and then spread a thicker layer of straw overtop of that. What you do should vary depending on your soil composition

when harvesting your garlic in the early-mid summer (bottom two leaves should be dead/dying, pull a garlic if youre not sure and check how far along it is, note that you cant replant it) cure it, and separate out the garlic with the most cloves and biggest cloves to plant next year. The smaller the clove you plant the smaller your bulb will be

fertilize with a nitrogen rich fertilizer in the early spring before the bulbs start to get big. Do not fertilize close to harvest time. they say you can plant softneck in the spring and harvest in the fall but every time i hear ppl talking about having done that they claim their harvest was kinda shit compared to fall planting. You cannot plant hardneck in the spring they need the cold.

good luck

lol I am in such a stressed-out blind rage today from insurance bullshit that I wrote up a glossary of health insurance terms (things like deductibles, premiums, and copays) because all the free guides online are unnecessarily complicated and the only way you can squeeze a dime out of these bullshit companies is to understand their overly-complicated policies. give em hell

After seeing the dad how do I channel, I really wanted this one. I searched for it and, tada! Mom how do I? Seems rather new, but I love it anyway.

Hey y'all. Here's something for you.

i mean, maybe this is my inner “survivor of child abuse” talking, but I am not going to tell abusive parents that they’re bad at bringing up their children without a bullet proof plan with regards to how I could protect my student from the emotional and physical backlash of that meeting.

Resources for Mending Clothes

We toss out over 80 pounds of textiles each year. These textiles are often made of plastic materials (polyester, nylon), made in unethical conditions, dyed with harsh dyes that often get put into the rivers, etc. Even a single cotton shirt releases carbon emissions and uses tons of water. 

So the best thing to prevent the unsustainable growth of the fashion industry is to make sure that your clothing lasts as long as possible. To do so, mending clothing is a must. So here are some resources to help you learn how to do various things, such as sewing a button, to tailoring clothes, or even upcycling old clothing into new styles. 

* How to sew on three different types of button

* How to hand sew on a patch on a torn pair of jeans

* How to sew up a hole in an old shirt

* How to sew a simple T-shirt

* How to upcycle old clothing into new clothing

* More upcycle and sewing techniques

* How to repair a damaged sock

* How to do an invisible stitch

* 3 different stitches to work with for different results

* How to make a T-shirt smaller so it fits you better

* How to make repairs to your shoes

These are just a few of the things that you can do in order to make sure that your clothing lasts for a long time. Nobody wants to keep buying new clothing, as it is expensive and wasteful. 

So making alterations to your clothing, or fixing small holes hen you see them can be hugely beneficial to your wallet, to garment workers, and to the environment in the long term.
