Beans.
My partner and I have a running joke with a friend. Every time he goes on holiday we increase the quantity of beans in his flat.
The first time we bought ~30 cans of kidney beans and hid them around the house like some Easter egg hunt thing but with beans.
The Second time we bought ~6kg dried white beans and hid those in various places. Nearly every receptacle that could safely hold beans became the home of beans. My personal favourite was emptying an oat milk carton, very carefully washing and drying it, filling it with beans and then just putting it back among several other cartons.
He went on holiday again a couple of weeks ago. Obviously there is an expectation of bean-based shenanigans. And obviously we have to beat our previous efforts.
Our friend has (had) a mosaic on his wall of the famous Marilyn Monroe Pop-Art by Andy Warhol. He made the mosaic himself. Over the last couple of weeks we have spent hours and hours assembling a frame, drawing up a pattern and gridding out a 70 x 70 frame and gluing an untold amount of beans to it. I have spent over 21 hours gluing beans to a frames.
For the last couple of days I ended up going to bed at 5:00 am because I lost track of time whilst experimenting with which types of glue works best with different beans (I now have *opinions* on this, y’all). The day of our friend’s return we spent the morning and afternoon grouting the piece and wiping it down and wiping it down again and wiping it down again because grout is just like that. In the evening we went to install the mosaic, just a few hours before his return. Here’s a comparison between the original and our clearly superior replication, and the new piece installed in its rightful place.

ALTIt took him over a day to notice. So for over a day he was wandering round his house knowing there were beans somewhere, but not knowing where.
Amazing photograph taken in the fraction of a second where the target doesn’t even know he’s being tackled yet. Idiot.

In #Delos, 2500 years ago, there was a kitchen with 3 burners, oven, grill and baking plate. With an extremely impressive design, made of clay, it served the needs of the household like the electric stove today.

ratskool asked:
are there any fund organizations for trans people looking to relocate out of states like Florida?
so-i-did-this-thing answered:
Heya.
If you are trans and in need, there are small grants available to help relocate: https://southernequality.org/flresources/
For folks looking to donate, I would honestly say to contribute directly to someone’s GoFundMe, as it is the quickest way to get money in someone’s pocket.
