This is the only appropriate use of this game. Otherwise I find it abhorrent.

Fuck social media.
Marry books.
Kill AI.

My experience with plant fibers are that they stretch with wear, so while I haven't done a bag, I would def add lining for stability for sth that is meant to carry stuff.

Yay :)
If your hands continue to not cooperate, try knitting. A lot of people can do one, but not the other. And if you are left-handed it might be more difficult.
Anyway, good luck and most of all, have fun :)

“A nemůžeme tu podlahu prostě rozřezat?!” Tak začal závod s časem na záchranu Ryana, který v té době už 24 hodin plakal na půdě pod podlahou o pomoc.

Nakonec jsme celou šestku koťátek ze stodoly dostali do bezpečí.

This looks amazing! And the colors. And the spirals. Hach :)

Just a question about crochet: is it faster than knitting somehow? Or are you closer to 5ft than 6ft tall? Because I can't imagine getting it done for myself in a month knitting and I'm told my knitting is fast ^^

Things to remember if you're a tired artist:
- Quit the doomscroll
- Prep before you sit down
- Embrace small wins
- Bad sketches are good practice
- Draw before your brain talks you out of it
- Rest when you need it.

These are cool, and yay for the sweaters and your 4yo!
Could you please add alt-text to your images for vision-impaired people and others who need it? You can also toggle a button in your settings that reminds you before posting, that's how I do it.
Thanks :)

No. People are just being dogmatic gender role shitty. Also, they are probably very envious that you do stuff you like when they don't dare trying so they try to make you feel bad about it.
Sorry you have to hear that-.-

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

The Online Safety Act was a disaster in the UK, and now they're trying to expand a similar bill to Canada. My Canadian friends, contact your MPs and tell them to OPPOSE this bill, bc if you thought the Discord leak was bad, this will be so much worse. #SaveSpeech

To people who sell merch and handcrafted items, what store do you use? Cause I don't wanna deal with Etsy's bullshit...and would love to hear what other options there are.

Oh to give context I am selling once in a while scarves that I knit that don't have any friends claiming them,

Is that what people without immigration history in their family feel like? Do they feel it at all? What is it like, when your family has never really left where they were born?

Lior 🇺🇦 @jolior.bsky.social · 23h

It's so weird to see my mom's and uncle's faces in the faces of literal strangers on the internet on the other side of the world who happen to share their surname or a variation of it.
We never looked like anyone from here and at some point I took it for granted, but that makes this even more weird

Yeah...
It becomes a bit annoying when the memory only keeps the old ones, not the updates after moves or other important people in my life.
Like, I still need to rely on memory aids when thinking of my wife's birthday, and I still don't know her phone number after 6ys 😅

A different kind of spooky:
The spiral you fall into at 4am, the angsty thoughts about past, present, future, spinning in a spiral that tightens exponentially.
So what do you make? Yarn. Then, a blanket. You can
be anxious, but you don't have to be cold.
Night Spiral Shawl, wip
#showmeyourknits

A large shawl draped over a wooden chest, in dark purples, blues and teals, with a bit of pale pink. The squares and triangles are arranged in a geometric progression, getting smaller and smaller towards the center

Same shawl, same chest, now from the front, with part of the shawl hanging over the edge

If ICE was doing to unlicensed pets—dogs and cats—what they’re doing to human beings, the outrage would be exponentially more ferocious

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.
