Reblog this on the first of the month for good luck all month long!
Emergency cleaning: Unfuck your whole house in the shortest time possible
So, your landlord/parents/home inspector/favorite movie star is dropping by, and your place is a disaster. You don’t have much time to clean it up. You’re in emergency mode. Let’s get started.
- Don’t panic. Panic leads to fear, fear leads to procrastination, procrastination leads to the dark side. You can do this, but you have to stay calm.
- Unlike maintenance cleaning, we’re not looking to completely unfuck one space at a time. Instead, we want to decrease the overall mess in stages, spread evenly across the whole area that we’re concerned about. If you think your home is at Level 10 filth, we want to bring the whole thing down to a Level 9, and then down from there. One really clean spot in an otherwise messy home is not going to be helpful here.
- Get prepared. You’ll want to shut the computer down (or turn the modem off if you need your computer to play music). Trust me. Get your music going. Gather up trash bags, your vacuum and mop, some rags or paper towel, sponges, and other cleaning supplies. Use what you have on hand. Don’t get distracted running to the store and spending an hour browsing cleaning supplies. A multi-purpose cleaning concentrate or a jug of vinegar will be just fine.
- Breaks are very important. Depending on your time constraints, work in 20/10s (20 minutes working, 10-minute break) or 45/15s. But take breaks because otherwise you’re marathoning, and marathon cleaning is no one’s friend. Keep hydrated, don’t forget to eat, and check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re physically doing OK.
- Make your bed. This will be your home base if you get overwhelmed or need somewhere clear to take a break.
- Start with the garbage. Going from room to room, throw out anything that is obvious trash. Once you fill a bag, take it out. Repeat as many times as necessary.
- Move on to dishes. Gather the dishes from all over your house and bring them to the kitchen. If you can, start them soaking in a sink of hot, soapy water or start loading the dishwasher. After the dishes are all in one place, spend one 20/10 getting started getting them under control.
- Now it’s time for your flat surfaces. Countertops, tables, dresser tops, etc. Clear them off and wipe them down. Don’t get distracted in too much sorting and organizing. We’re in crisis mode here. There will be time to get in-depth once this is all done. The same applies to cabinets and closets. Unless you have reason to believe people will be opening closed doors, leave these alone for now.
- Attack the floordrobe and shoe pile. Get your clothes either put away or in the hamper. Start a load of laundry if you need to, but keep in mind that laundry and dishes have three steps: wash, dry, and put it away, goddammit!
- Get random stuff up off the floors. If something is trash-worthy, throw it away now rather than just move it around a bunch of times. Otherwise, put stuff where it belongs.
- Take another 20/10 or 45/15 to catch up on more dishes, if needed.
- Head into the bathroom. Pour some cleaner in the toilet bowl, fill the sink with hot water and cleaner, and either spray the tub and shower with cleaner, or fill the tub up with some hot water and add cleaner and let it soak. Put everything away that’s out and shouldn’t be, clean the mirror, counters, and toilet seat. Sweep or dry mop the floor. Wipe down the sink and tub/shower, and give the toilet bowl a scrub. Mop the floor.
- Sweep and mop the kitchen floor.
- Vacuum everything you can, and sweep everything you can’t.
- Walk outside of your house (don’t lock yourself out, please). Walk back in and see what catches your eye first. Go and deal with that.
- If you’re being inspected or your landlord is coming in for repairs, spend time on whatever area they’ll be focusing on.
- Give the whole place one more once-over and pay attention to anything you’ve missed so far.
- It’s an old trick, but if your place is a little funky-smelling, put a pan of water on the stove on low heat and add some citrus or cinnamon or vanilla. Don’t leave it unattended or forget about it.
- Take a shower, put on something clean, and eat something.
You can do this. It’s overwhelming, yes, but it is not impossible. You just need to do it. You have a list. You have directions. You have a whole bunch of Internet strangers who have been there before and who are cheering you on. You can do this, but you need to get started.
Why are you still here? GO. START. NOW.
the number of times in my past that I desperately wanted/needed someone to sit me down and tell me this stuff. I will never get back the hours and hours lost to headless-chicken mode, but it’s nice to know that in the last year I’ve learned so many coping mechanisms :D
Is the fucking fandom minecraft wiki the only one now? Im going to jeff the kill someone
This is fucking bullshit. If i have to use a military contractor's shambling mass of clickbait, videos and shit ui design every time i want to learn about games much longer im gonna start biting people
I fucking hate the new internet I hate how every website is owned by a rich dude who kicks babies and has 10 huge ads that fill up the screen for 3 seconds before you can close them and 3 of those ads have auto play videos that play the entire time you’re on the site and you can’t close them. I fucking hate the new internet I fucking hate the new internet I fucking hate the new internet. I hate discord I hate social media sites I want forums and IRC goddamnit
Everybody use neocities.org to make a free old fashioned homepage like the good old angelfire/geocities days or host a much bigger website (like my one) for $5 a month. The owner charges that little because he’s being honest about what it actually costs to host everything. Other webhost services charge up to 10 times that and it’s almost all just their own profit.
Please make a neocities!
You can back up your work at any time. If Neocities goes down, you can take your blog or wiki or what have you and move to a new provider (or even host it yourself).
Free accounts have 1gb of space. You probably won’t hit that unless you’re hosting a lot of images. I’m at 0.5% of that limit, almost all of which is images. Plain-text just doesn’t scale that quickly. (If you can donate, I encourage you to even if you haven’t hit the limit. It’s a great website.)
Neocities has its own tutorial built-in, but I’d recommend checking out other resources as well! Most of what I’ve learned is from googling about specific problems and then moving on from there. I’d also recommend looking around your library or used item stores! I have a HTML/CSS guide I got for 6$, and it helped me fill a lot of gaps in my google education.
For anyone interested in blogging on neocities, I’d recommend checking out zonelets.net. It’s free, and has in-depth video tutorials explaining how to use it. It makes blogging a lot easier, though the way it relies on javascript can make parts of your site inaccessible to those who don’t/can’t use it. If you’re looking to solve that problem and are used to using html, I’d recommend looking at static site generators like Jekyllrb.com (this is the one I use, which is why I’m linking it. I’ve heard good things about gohugo.io too.).
I’d also like to take a moment to shill for forums.sufficientvelocity.com. It’s a writing/worldbuilding/collaborative fiction forum. I really, really recommend that people check it out. There’s a lot more interaction between writers and readers, and the moderators are both elected and incredibly progressive.
As a final note, I’d recommend that everyone check out revolt.chat, an open-source version of Discord. It doesn’t have all of Discord’s core features yet, and it’s kind of laggy, but it is a way to step onto another platform where you have more control over what your user experience is like. You can also self-host it! I’m trying to avoid listing out software that you need to self-host, but it is an option for those who only want their data stored on their machine or the machine of a friend.
Add-on: When I’m recommending Revolt, it is for talking with your friends. If you want to make a community or a fandom hangout space or a roleplay or anything where you expect it to be more than you and five friends, make a forum.
Discord and its knock-offs are not easily archived. You can’t find it when using a search engine. You can’t have people read what happened before in the discussion. If you get banned, you can’t reread conversations unless you screenshotted them. I think many communities have been harmed by this lack of history trail. It’s a problem with Twitter and Tumblr too, but I think it’s more apparent on Discord because Discord is impossible to effectively archive. If we want knowledge to survive more than a few months, we need to store it places where people can get to it. 4chan, the website where it literally deletes stuff on purpose, is easier to find old stuff on than Discord is. I’m not eloquent enough to explain, but I have to stress that archiving stuff is very important. Pick apps and websites that let you do it. (Hell, at least Skype lets you download every groupchat you’ve ever been in, pictures included. I had to set up a custom bot to do that for my personal Discord.)
I don’t have a good suggestion for forum software. Make a proboards, I guess? It’s not perfect, but at least people can shove its annoying bloated UI into the wayback machine.
i haven't personally tried setting it up, but a good open-source forum software is Discourse. (yes it's called discourse.) however this doesn't meet the listed criteria in this post of not being self-hosted. self-hosting open-source projects isn't quite as difficult as you may think, though; don't let it scare you into not trying to learn about it!
there's actually a big curated list of self-hosted software on github here: (x), I sometimes browse thru this looking for little hobby projects to set up.
but, I would also like to add, if you are a part of those wanting to bring back the "old internet", whether it be self-hosting stuff yourself or hopping onto a friend's self-hosted service, please be aware that just because it can be easy to set up a piece of software, doesn't mean that maintaining it is easy. Being a web admin can be really time-consuming, and requires a lot of elbow grease in certain situations if something goes awry. It's even worse if some security flaw ends up being introduced in the base software you make use of; you've got to make sure the server admin is keeping on top of stuff like that and patching any exploits or issues. Plus, you just need to be able to trust that they know what they're doing well enough to avoid any common pitfalls in security practices that could make the service un-secure.
But with that warning out of the way, i wholly support all of us embracing a smaller, more decentralized internet. not in the buttcoin crypto idiot way, but in the "let's not let centralized corporations control all of our data under capitalism" way.
Do you ever see something that fills you with so much joy that if you don’t share it with people you’re going to explode? Yeah that’s this

I really super appreciate that the music wasn’t dubbed over, but live audio was included because I cannot overemphasize HOW MUCH the flailing noises add to this
I don’t know who this person is or where they are but I adore them and their absolute commitment to being the very best of whatever the fuck this is that they are.
SHRIMP! HEAVEN! NOW!
