A signal boost and some unsorted linkspam
At this moment, I have only 65 tabs open!
First up, a signal boost:
yohjideranged has a sick kitty and is in a tight financial situation right now. If you're in a position to spare a few dollars,
yohjideranged's DW post is here, and the GoFundMe page is here.
Unsorted linkspam!
bluemeridian posted a massive set of fanwork recs in a variety of fandoms the other day, and the master post is here.
bluemeridian says, "For this rec list installment, the Avengers and Hannibal sections again have their posts and room to sprawl. Star Wars also has its own in a nod to spoilers. I'd love to curate these lists more carefully for what people in this venue would like to see, but I don't really know where to start with that right now. I mean, there are 72 links for Hannibal alone and that's a fandom I think of being primarily on Tumblr and Twitter, yet it's come up a couple of times on my DW flist in the last couple of weeks, so who knows. There may be a poll at some point. Feel free to get your comments and votes in early."
"8 Forgotten Pie Recipes We Should Bring Back". [Mental Floss]
""Exploding Kittens," Kickstarter's Most Funded Game Of All Time, Is Now An App: Most card games ported to the App Store suck. Here's how Exploding Kittens avoided the trap". (Seems to be iPhone-only. Buu.)
"Frozen pants are the best use of this awful weather".
"19 Behind-the-Scenes Secrets of IKEA Employees". [Mental Floss]
"Researchers develop a revolutionary Braille tablet for the blind".
"These Are the Designers Working Hard to Make Stylish Clothes for Wheelchair Users".
Pronoun buttons!
"7 new nontraditional Empathy Cards that say what other cards can get totally wrong".
Via several sources over the past couple of months, "The Myth of ‘Easy’ Cooking: An entire industry has been built on the premise that creating gourmet meals at home is simple and effortless. But it isn’t true".
"How to Sneak Your Cat Into Work". [WikiHow] (Presented more for amusement than because I think it's actually a good idea. There are, of course, a variety of tips and warning, including "DO NOT BRING CAT IF YOU HAVE ALLERGIC CO-WORKERS".)
"Every Time Heidi Eats Cheese In The Novel Heidi". [The Toast] "Heidi is a book about the healing powers of cheese, and don’t let anyone tell you different. That plucky little girl from the Alps couldn’t have gone very far in saving Clara or her dear Grandpapa without the help of dairy. Raclette is essentially the book’s protagonist."
"Getting to the Heart of the No. 1 Killer of Women" (on heart attack symptoms in ciswomen & presumably also in transmen, although it doesn't specifically say so).
"20 Things You Didn't Know About...Wool". [Discover Magazine]
