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.

[ID: a link preview of a stock image coffee table with a laptop with the facebook logo on the screen with text on top that says 'anyone who used facebook in the last 16 years can now get settlement money. here's how." end ID]
Time Sensitive- Apply before August 25th, 2023 (8/25/23)!
Filing a claim takes less than ten minutes, and can be done HERE
Excerpt from article:
Anyone in the U.S. who used Facebook in the last 16 years can now collect a piece of a $725 million settlement by parent company Meta tied to privacy violations — as long as they fill out a claim on a website set up to pay out money to the social network's users.
The settlement stems from multiple lawsuits that were brought against Facebook by users who claimed that the company improperly shared their data with third-party sources such as advertisers and data brokers. The litigation began after Facebook was embroiled in a privacy scandal in 2018 with Cambridge Analytica, which scraped user data from the site as part of an effort to profile voters.
Meta denied any liability or wrongdoing under the settlement, according to the recently created class-action website. However, the agreement means that U.S. residents who used Facebook between May 24, 2007, and December 22, 2022, can file a monetary claim as long as they do so before August 25, 2023.
Please reblog to signal boost this! As many people as possible should know about this to make their claim, if you don't do anything you don't get anything. It takes less than ten minutes to file and pick your payment option including pay/pal and ven/mo .

whatever your reasons just make the fuckin bibliography

do you believe in any theories that attempt to explain s4 being the way it is? if so, please recommend me some!
Hi anon! x
Aaaaah this is going to be a veeery long list of metas.
I actually don’t believe strongly in only one theory, but the one that I think represents the only way to take seriously TFP is that the entire episode is in John’s mind, since he’s in coma after Eurus had shot him.
Basically, some people thinks that the EMP theory is extended to S4 too, others support the EDT theory and others (like me) think that TFP comes from John’s dreams during coma.
There are many theories about S4 or its episodes in particular and these are the meta I have.
It was a bit difficult to categorize them but I hope that this masterpost will be easy to use.
S4 IS A MESS
•List of the weird things that happened
•Masterpost of reasons why S4 is a mess
•Why do many people not accept s4?
•Why did they do that to John’s character?
•Analysis and critique of Eurus
•Why Mofftiss should have made a fake s4?
THEORIES
EMP THEORY
•EMP theory masterpost
•HLV/TAB parallels - hospital scene
•HLV/TAB parallels - weird things that make sense only if we assume that EMP theory is true
•Alibi theory (see down) and EMP
EDT THEORY
•EDT theory
•Dream theory - doctor who parallels
•Princess bride - love story
•Princess bride - bedtime stories - nightmare
S4 AND S5 ARE TWIN SEASONS
•S4 and S5 are twin series
•“It’s never twins”, says Sherlock, but John is always right
•The birth scene was filmed twice in different ways
•The birth scene - Sherlock is driving and John is helping Mary
TFP IS JOHN’S MIND PALACE/DREAM
•Freud - wish fulfillment
•TFP is John’s mind palace - masterpost
•John’s mind palace - “Listen to the tape”
•Video - all the evidence that S4 is a dream/mind palace
TRANCE THEORY
•Trance theory
JOHN’S ALIBI
•John’s alibi theory
•Culverton = dark John (the duplicate man - John killed someone/Mary)
•The texts are from Sherlock since he’s narrating the story
JOHN CHEATING ON MARY
•Why does John cheat on Mary? Is it ooc? Why does Mary looks like Sherlock’s partner?
•Eurus as the lady at the bus stop - she’s working for Mycroft
•Sherlock is the person John is writing to
•John is writing to Sherlock - we can deduce this by the soundtrack
MARY IS A VILLAIN
•Mary is a villain -masterpost
•Is Mary the reason why Sherlock and John didn’t see each other for one month?
•Mary works for Moriarty - John is Sherlock’s heart and has to burn
•“You don’t tell John”
•Moriarty wanted to kill John to stay with Sherlock - Mary wanted to kill Sherlock to stay with John
•Mary’s revenge after her death
MARY’S DEATH
•How John reacts to Mary’s death and how he reacted to Sherlock’s death
•Why did John forget how to be a doctor while Mary was dying?
•Mary’s death was physically impossible - contradiction with HLV when Sherlock is shot
•It was impossible for her to reach the bullet - contradictions
MISCELLANEA
•Eurus and Moriarty - Redbeard is Moriarty
•Molly is John’s mirror - TFP - “I love you”
•Sumatra/Samsara music
•Mary and the pink elephant peluche - John’s drinking problem
•Sherlock becomes blind
•John lost his eye
I’ll keep it updated if I find other interesting meta!
If you have any to suggest, please tell me!
I hope this is what you asked for! x

no actually I’m gonna give this its own post.
get yourself a USB stick from any dollar store, install ubuntu with persistent storage on it. There is literally no reason not to, and it means that you now have a little computer of your very own that no one except those who physically get their hands on your USB stick can use (and you can password lock the OS) and that you can run from literally almost any PC with USB ports. Including public machines in libraries and, probably, school laptops.
If you’re a kid who needs privacy, someone in trouble who just needs their own machine to play and talk to people on, somebody who doesn’t have the money to get your own computer, etc etc etc, do this. Actually do this even if you do have your own computer. There is literally no reason to not have a little backup system on a thumb drive that you can use anytime. If your main computer starts acting up or gets fucked over by an update or something? Just plug in your thumb drive and use your computer from your handy-dandy mini Ubuntu installation.
