Woman Worried Student Loans Could Prevent Her From One Day Owning Entirely Different Kind Of Crippling Debt PHILADELPHIA—Lamenting that she will spend the foreseeable future paying off her college expenses, local 23-year-old digital marketing assistant Ashley Orlinsky expressed concern Wednesday that her student loans will prevent her from ever owning an entirely different type of utterly crippling debt. “Realistically, it’ll take years or even decades to fully repay $50,000 of loans, which makes me worried that I’ll never qualify for a backbreaking mortgage on a house that I can in no way afford,” said Orlinsky, adding that with $350 in monthly student loan payments, she will likely struggle to even borrow money to purchase a new car that will destroy her credit rating and may one day be repossessed by the bank. “I have dreams of starting my own company at some point in the future, but I just don’t see how I’ll have the opportunity to be saddled for my entire adult life with a suffocating high-interest small business loan if my student debt is following me wherever I go. It’s awful.” Orlinsky was reportedly encouraged, however, after coming to the mistaken conclusion that she could just default on her student loans and have them discharged in a bankruptcy filing.

The mystery ancient toys puzzling archaeologists The world's oldest toys date back thousands of years – but determining whether ancient children played with them, and how, remains a mystery archaeologists are piecing together.

Ancient toys are such a fascinating topic.

It’s great watching the bits come out of staff picks getting sliced to ribbons in their confirmation hearings, they genuinely do not have a defense

Okay, so I kind of want to try turmeric dyeing, after discovering I can get 11 freaking pounds of turmeric for just 20 bucks
That's like, cheaper than RIT dye almost

Straight out of the box, nice

A hand with a curry comb brushes a horse, in close up so you don't see more than just a hand a horse's neck and shoulder in 3/4th view. Sorry, not a horse guy, so I'll describe it as "grey" but maybe more pale blonde? Taken from "Your Horse" website graphic where it wasn't attributed.

To 'curry favor' references curry-combing of horses, but there's more to it than you might think!

The full phrase in Old French was 'correier fauvel'

Literally: "curry the chestnut/dun horse" because chestnut horses in French stories represented deceit & cunning.

There's MORE!

Denali or Mount McKinley? - Denali National Park & Preserve (U.S. National Park Service)

So why was it ever called 'Mt. McKinley'?

The Athabascan name 'Denali' means "great one", from a Koyukon word, 'deenaalee'.

President McKinley never visited Alaska, had no link to the territory which became a state in 1959. So *why*?

...Then I can put out detailed instructions for the IKEA chest conversions

Since I'm actually plugging into SCA bsky, I should maybe link my A&S blog. hippogriffcraftwerks.blogspot.com

Just finished up two posts in a series about my foray into luthierie, where I build a three-string jouhikko and a four-string tagelharpa. One more left in that series...

Thanks, and also you're welcome! It's a super cool find; it's basically the Viking version of a pickup truck toolbox, and it survived 1000 years with a bunch of intact tools in it. We found it when a farmer bonked it with a tractor, and it's still basically fine.

Within an inch of the Mastermyr chest in all dimensions even. Shape isn’t exact, but to get any more accurate, no point in ikea hacking anymore lol

The long one is halfway between the two since it has extra top rails included: dowel the sides and rails together, trim the feet a bit, and cut the ends down even with that. Doweled in an extra 1x2 in the middle of the existing seat boards for demo purposes.

So I did three actually. This is the fast one: cut the ends level with the sides and replace the lid with a bit of 1x10. (Excuse the weirdly lit photo) you can also dowel up the sides and preserve the seat height, which lets you cut the handle bit out of the middle of the seat and dowel those too

Blue Viking chest with the lid open, showing a gray felt liner. The front of the chest shows an elongated compass star with alternating quarters blue and white.

3/4 view of the same chest showing a forged iron handle with leaves on either end. A tag hangs from the handle, displaying a Havamal passage in Norse.

The lid of the chest, showing a green and pink aurora rendered in oil paints.

Did you know modern Swedish furniture can become historical Swedish furniture with a bit of editing? Turns out the Perjohan from IKEA looks pretty passable if you give it a hinged lid. And it looks even better if you get Mira of Selviergard to paint a badass aurora on the lid. #sca

Thank you so much for your kind words at the ceremony, they meant a lot to me.

Crochet snowflake is by the dearly departed Lena Webster, who made several hundred(!) of these for West Crown in Oertha and even had some left over, of which I got a couple for pouches.

A Hedeby frame bag, with rounded white handles, red white and blue strap, and blue and white diamond check fabric. The bag is ornamented with a strip of weaving covering the top edge of spotted white rabbit fur, above a white crochet snowflake, above three densely embroidered red roses presented face-on in the heraldic style.

#sca Now that it’s reached its owner, I can post my most recent big project: a reign pouch for a viscountess who added me to her court spontaneously a couple GWW ago. Moose antler frame, wool shell and linen lining, linen tablet weaving, cotton split stitch embroidery, and rabbit fur. (Cont’d)
