Hey, you are not an embarrassment for not knowing how to do certain household chores/basic self-care. They do not come naturally to us. A lot of it takes practice! Maybe you had a neglectful guardian. Maybe you had one that was very coddling and never thought to teach you. Maybe you haven't lived in a place where these things were available to you or needed. Doesn't matter. It's okay to not know and far more common than you might realise.
That said, this website provides very simple instructions on how to do everyday tasks such as making your bed, using a washing machine, cooking different foods, washing dishes, taking a shower, etc. All you have to do is use the search bar to find the task you're struggling with, and it'll come up with what you need + other related how-to's:)
If you're having trouble navigating it, let me provide you with some examples:
How to clean dishes by hand
How to make your bed (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to fold clothes (with visual demonstrations of each step!)
How to take a shower & dry yourself off (also provides ways to shave beards, armpits, legs and genitals)
How to shave legs, armpits, beards, pubic areas, etc. (a more in-depth guide)
How to mop the floor
How to sweep the floor
How to swallow pills
How to make small talk
How to make eye contact in different situations (or how to avoid it while still looking natural)
It's also perfectly okay if these don't help or aren't appealing to you. Unfortunately, nothing helps everyone.

My friend blocked me because I wouldn’t stop sending him this picture
ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.
My name is Ayaa from Gaza city. I am a children’s teacher, 24 years old, living with my parents and siblings.
We all used to live a peaceful life together in our home. As you can see this was my home before being destroyed totally.
We are paying Hala to coordinate our evacuation once the crossing opens. This will cost about $60,000 including all fees and passports.
In the meantime, we must survive. Nearly $1000 will be spent on our daily stay here.
Food prices are very high. In addition to paying the costs of treating the children, due to their ongoing infections, this amount includes ongoing medical care and recovery once we are in Egypt.
Donate if you can to help Ayaa's family. Any amount, even a dollar can help.
If you're unable to donate, please share this post so it reaches more people.
Getting back into drawing in my sketchbook more often with some fan art of a webcomic I've been reading!
This drawing specifically was for an art group I'm a part of. The prompt this week was "tropical," so I drew Marina in a wrap-around skirt with a bunch of hibiscus flowers on it!

While the world is busy enjoying summer vacations and the freedom and safety that come with it, the people of Gaza, especially in the northern region, are living a daily nightmare. Continuous bombings have brought devastation to their homes, forcing them to live among the rubble. Water and food have become scarce, and standing in long lines for the basics of life has become a part of their daily routine.
With each new sunrise, their suffering increases, but so does their hope for a better tomorrow. They face unimaginable hardships with courage, but they need our support. This is why I have created a donation link to help my family escape this hell.
If you can't donate, you can still help by sharing this post. Every share brings us one step closer to securing safety for my family and changing their grim reality.
Thank you for your support and solidarity. Together, we can bring hope to those who need it most.
