(1/3) I spent a good portion of 2024 on what was one of the best experiences in my entire life, turned into one of the most precious memories. #odysseuslarp is a Finnish live-action role-playing game created by a team of ~200 volunteers, for over 300 players in total. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCkf...

One of my really irritating professional opinions is I think you should never refer to anything you make as "content" or yourself as a "content creator." Be more specific about exactly what it is that you do. Me? I'm a writer. And I don't write "content"!
the term "content creator" served it's purpose very well. conditioning people into seeing everyone as anyone and everything as anything, mostly among the ruling class who found it most convenient for their pockets. in that sense, generating slop is the final result of content creation
the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life

Have you played Odysseus? What group did your character belong to? Medics, Marines, Civilians, Bridge, Velians, Engineers, Pilots, or Scientists? And do you remember what planet your character was from?

If you haven't yet played Odysseus, what character group is most interesting to you and why?

When a pattern tells us to bind off stitches at the beginning of every other row, and we follow those instructions without any adjustments, it usually results in an edge that looks a lot like stair steps.

Hollow ribbing is not really a ribbing. It’s a double knitted fabric that resembles ribbing, behaves somewhat like ribbing and is often used instead of ribbing. 
Hollow ribbing makes beautiful cuffs, hat brims, neck bands, button bands and belts.

The Most Important Knitting Skill

In almost ten years that I’ve been teaching people to knit, I noticed that most beginner (and not just beginner) mistakes happened because of the lack of understanding how the knitted fabric is created.

I think the corollary that a lot of people miss about "write what you know" is that *you have the power to know more things.* Research and talking to people are a central part of writing!
“write only what you know” is bullshit because a man wrote silent hill f and this shit rocks!!!! its feminist core resonates SO strongly if you’re a woman!!!!
