Founding February Week 4

Celebrations, festivals and food

What are the major festivals? What commonly happens during them? Are they or religious nature or not? Where in the cities/villages are the festivals celebrated? How does the place look like? What are festivals only certain areas or groups celebrate? Are there any special rules during these festivals? Or are some rules thrown out of the window during a certain festival? Is there something ahead of a festival (i.e. fasting, harvest)? What are special celebratory foods? What makes them special? What sort of clothes do people wear on special occasions? What about jewelry, make up and hairdos for special occasions? How does the typical cuisine look like in the area? Is it influenced by religious restrictions? Do people mostly eat meat, fish or vegetables on a daily base? Do people eat plain or heavily flavored food? How much of a sweet tooth are they? What are common foods travelers get excited for in the region? Do people eat together or separately? Do people eat in small or large groups? What do people drink? Is the water generally clean enough to drink? If not, what do they drink? What is the comfort food in the area? How does travel food look like? What kind of food/meal to children usually love? What are luxury foods(i.e. alcohol, chocolate)? What is food that is prohibited by law? Why? Are some foods poisonous to certain species? Is there any food only certain species/group are allowed to eat because it would be an affront if others do? Why? What kind of food is reserved for special occasions like weddings, birthdays etc? Who cooks? Are there exceptions? What are the tables like? Shape? High or low? Do people sit in chairs or cushions? What is eating etiquette like? How many times a day do people eat? Which is the biggest meal of the day? What utensils do people use to eat? Are there smaller versions for children? Are there restaurants? Who goes to them? Are there street food sellers? What is a common staple? Are there differences from city to city? What does a feast look like? At what point is a meal a feast? How common is it to invite friends over for a meal? Do private dinner parties exist? I used this worldbuilding questionnaire as a base ,sorted it into the weekly themes, and added questions where some sprung to my mind. These questions are only a little help to get you started. You can build and post about anything that has to do with this week’s topics.

I'll add more later, I'm really tired right now and am having difficulty recalling books to add.

to everyone else in school right now: 

please use sparknotes. please use khan academy. please listen to school house rock songs and watch the history of the entire world i guess and tim and moby and bill nye. any documentary you watch in class can be found somewhere online with a quick google. get your books from project gutenberg and z-lib. download textbooks off the internet whenever you can find them. use desmos for a free online graphing calculator. if you’re learning something and you don’t get it look up the wikipedia page on it and put it into simple english to get the gist, then put it back into regular english to get the full story. cheat if you have to. school sucks so bad rn and if you’re like me and you get all your materials secondhand or from the lost and found, online resources are really useful rn; all of the above have helped me pass a class in some way, and i hope they can help you too.

stay inside and stay safe. best of luck to all the students out there.

Designing clothes for wheel chair users!

Clothes are mostly made to be worn while standing or walking, with little thought put into how comfortable they are while sitting. This post has a bunch of things to keep in mind while designing and making clothes.

Finding clothes that fit and look good when in a wheelchair can be a struggle. Here is my fashion likes and dislikes as a wheelchair user pl

HALT! Do you have sensory issues? Overwhelmed by sound in a messy environment? Desperately wanting to write that essay/fanfiction but your ADHD is getting on the way? In need of atmospheric sound for your tabletop game??

Please let me introduce you to MyNoise.net - a lifesaver on all aspects.

Mynoise provides an incredible index of noise machine generators with personalizing sliders to suit your every taste.

Missing the sound of a lively coffee shop during the pandemic? They have that. That specific, calming noise of a public park in a peaceful afternoon? they have that. Rain sounds? City sounds? Want to fuck around and listen to some uninterrupted Gregorian chants? They have that also!

According to the website:

"myNoise generators cover the whole audible frequency range, from 20Hz to 20kHz, over 10 color-coded sliders. Through a simple but accurate calibration process, all myNoise generators can be shaped to your personal hearing thresholds and compensate for your audio equipment and listening environment deficiencies, including the presence and nature of background noise. Calibration is unique to this website, and makes calibrated noise machines stand out from regular white noise machines. During the calibration process, we are able to measure your personal hearing levels, and adapt our noises accordingly. If you are suffering from age-related hearing, you'll be surprised to hear frequencies you thought were lost."

And that's not all. When I say 'incredible' I really mean it; I've found myself using the website on multiple occasions, for work, creative and stress-related issues, and the variety of machines provided cannot be overstated. You've got animal noises, nature soundscapes, street sounds, meditation aids, melody-based lullabies, magical soundscapes, medieval ambiance, situation specific sounds, white noise generators-- and a lot more!!! They even have noise to block out IRL sounds you don't want to hear.

Just take a brief look at what the index page provides:

There's something for EVERYONE. And it's all for free! It's been for free for years, and it is the creator's wish that it remains accessible to everyone who might need this kind of aid in life. I am using it to write this post right now. Though if you read some of the above index, you may have noticed that the support for the website has been very low lately.

Which brings me to the reason I'm making this post. Mynoise is curated and maintained by a single person:
