NOPE has remained stuck in my craw (much like a certain decoy horse) since I first saw it.

It has so much to say about its human characters — and plenty of ink has been spilled about that — but my focus lies elsewhere.

If you, like me, love the film's central antagonist, please give this a read.
Alien Minds
Was Nope’s antagonist really a monster?

Tragedy! In the goat field
A lone can of waterloo sparkling water lies on its side where it fell into the grass. The photographer's legs and feet are visible at the bottom of the frame.

Me again! I have a history of tendinitis (that later developed into carpal and cubital tunnel) and I have done ok with knitting! You just have to keep the same kind of awareness about technique and muscle tension that you would with anything that uses your hands

my grandma used to have my grandpa hold the skein for her to wind, which I thought was super cute

I checked my book and it offers this variant that is purportedly easier:
A photo of a page from the book Cast On Bind Off. It reads: "Long-Tail Cast On: Thumb Version. This is a variation of the Long-Tail Cast On that is easier for some folks than holding the yarn in the traditional slingshot position. The result is the same as the standard Long-Tail Cast On. CHARACTERISTICS: Edge is elastic and attractive. First row begins with wrong side (private side) of work. GOOD FOR: Any stitch pattern and any project." A photo of a page from the book Cast On Bind Off. It reads: "Working the Cast On. 1) Measure out a tail of yarn using whatever method you prefer (page 13). Make a slip knot and place it on the needle. Hold the needle and working yarn in your right hand. 2) Wrap the tail end around your left thumb counterclockwise (yarn comes from needle to inside thumb and wraps around to outside of thumb). Using the other fingers of your left hand to grasp the tail, insert needle tip under the thumb loop. 3) Holding the needle with your left hand, use your right hand to wrap the working yarn around the needle." A photo of a page from the book Cast On Bind Off. It reads: "4) Pass thumb loop over the needle tip and pull the strand to tighten the stitch. 5) Repeat steps 2-4 for the desired number of stitches."
