AP Calculus Notes: Integrals & Integration

A Midnight Ritual if You Cannot Sleep Because You Are Worrying About a Confrontation or Crisis in the Morning

You will need:

A dark-blue candle

A small bowl of salt

Paper and a pen

A bowl of soil

A small, lidded plastic container

A blue pen

Timing:

Midnight, called the time of the dark sun, indoors or in the garden.

The spell:

Light the candle and, looking into the flame, say: “The dark sun across the word does shine, but let all be peaceful in this place of mine.”

Sprinkle a few grains of salty into the flame, saying: “The sun will rise again at dawn, ‘til then I consign all fear ‘till morn.”

On the paper, write over and over again the fears and the worries that are troubling you. Tear off just a corner and singe it in the candle flame. (Have a bowl of soil ready in case it catches fire.)

Extinguish the candle, and put the folded paper and the singed corner, burned or not, into a small plastic container in the freezer.

Dispose of the plastic container and its contents the next morning.

comprehensive list of books that will make you think a lot

at the request of @uglydumbbitchdotcom and @dreamingmappist (just to let you know, most of this is european and pre-1930 so if you're looking for literature from other continents this is not the list to go to. i wish i knew more about african, asian, and latin american literature, but alas - i do not.)

Vegan Garlic Noodles!

[Side note: I feel really bad for being inactive on here :( I tried to make bread so many times and I got really discouraged because I haven’t succeeded yet, so I just focused on other things. I’m really sorry, I hope to be more active soon!]

Anyhow! This is a really awesome, delicious recipe that has just the right amount of comfort-food flavour and for 20 kcal it’s much lighter too!

Ingredients:

one package shirataki pasta / noodles (0 kcal, may be more if flavoured)

0.5 tsp margarine (20 kcal)

salt, to taste (0 kcal)

garlic powder, to taste (0 kcal)*

*start with 0.25 tsp and work up, little by little. I personally just eyeball it :)

How-to:

Drain and rinse your shirataki noodles and heat until warm (I microwave on high for one minute). Remove excess water.

Add margarine, salt, and garlic powder and mix well.

Voila! Yumlicious~

My Funeral Plans 💀 🍎

Because why not make everyone uncomfortable? This started as a joke, but now Idk.

I told some of my friends that I want an eco-burial. I first read about them in Mary Roach’s book Stiff (totally recommend).

With an eco-burial, they bury you in a giant biodegradable pod that looks like an egg. It’s eco-friendly and the egg symbolizes rebirth. So I am all about that.

And to make things better, they plant a tree on top.

I want the tree to be an apple tree, particularly a Northern Spy apple tree. Northern Spies are only ready after two solid frosts and they are an exquisite baking apple.

I want my friends and family members to pick the apples on Halloween and bake them into pies. The tree eats my corpse, it produces apples, my friends and family members eat the apples, and I live forever through them.

Also. Also. I want my gravestone to say “Eat Me.”
