  • definitely don’t use heat if there are any leather components

    use mesh laundry bags, otherwise the laces are going to get all tied up with each other. it would honestly probably be best to take the laces out and put them in their own laundry bag. put the insoles in separate mesh laundry bags as well, the shoe is going to change shape during this process and you’re going to fuck up any foam insole.

    wash on cold, with a little soap. you can put a quarter cup of white vinegar in the fabric softener tray, that should help with odor. if your machine has a hand wash setting or a delicates setting, go ahead and use it.

    there’s really no need to dry them in the dryer, you definitely do not want to put the insoles in the dryer. you can put the shoes in there with no or low heat if you want, and add like a cloth bag of baking soda to the dryer with it. you could just dump a little baking soda in the shoes before putting them in the dryer, but putting them in a cloth bag give some more even, controlled application. if you’re using any heat, I wouldn’t give it more than 20 minutes. you’ll also have to prop something up against the dryer door because they will smack into it and force it open. definitely don’t use heat if there are any leather components




  • seriously though, I think life on other planets probably just usually evolves underground, so even if they develop some sort of intelligence they’re not looking up at the sky so they have no motivation to explore beyond their atmosphere no matter how advanced they get.

    there was a planet in The hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy universe that had thick cloud cover so that people never even conceived of an existence beyond their planet. when a spaceship crashed there, it never even occurred to them that it might have come from the sky
