Lefty linguist plus other stuff. 🏳️🌈 I crochet a lot, knit a little, and talk about yarn. I love to pet cats. Sometimes I have purple hair and complain. Realistic but not into doomerism. I block repost-only accounts

Well well well if it isn't the paranoid bitch (me) who always ranted about privacy and technology and "what ifs" and you said she was crazy because...I am, actually, a little bit, but it turns out everyone is coming to me to learn about mesh and analog and home servers and my basement full of cans

My son, 11: I found an article listing the top 20 most queer pokemon
Me: ok obviously I want to read that but it's bedtime
Son: what does it mean the "moon is canonically queer"
Me: it belongs to lesbians mostly
Son: it also says Bulbasaur is a "plant daddy"
(That was where I lost it)

Was talking to my dad who asked if I'm "applying for jobs" which I said, yes, I apply to at least 3 a day, but I rarely get responses
Every time we have this conversation, he is shocked, because he believes the economy is great and jobs are great despite the fact that I tell him this over and over

The subreddits are so full of people struggling with undocumented side effects, including extremely severe depression. Not caring about life. It's why I stopped taking them.

GLPs seem pretty cool but it feels a lot like we're in for a few years of body shaming that's going to make the 90s look accepting.

What I want all crochet 🧶 beginners to know
Is that when you compare crochet and knitting, crochet is easier to learn the stitches. Knitting has a steeper learning curve *Initially* and that scares people off and crochet seems very welcoming because forming a stitch is not so bad

My friend and I like to take each other on tours and she planned one on Friday for me -- we went to the best places including a couple of amazing vintage shops
One of them was run by a couple. Around the shop were random porcelain doll legs in little bags
OBVIOUSLY I bought a pair

Tell me something that brought you joy this week.
Any old thing will do. Small joys are as good as big ones—sometimes even better.

I feel like a good US capitalist dystopian move would be a credit card that gives me points back on medical bills

I had a dream that I found the most amazing store and in the corner they had shelves and shelves of vintage lucite box purses, in STUNNING condition
I was so excited, because those cost so much to ship and it's really hard to tell the quality from photos
So sad that place is not real

I know some people have wondered where the money is going -- they say the charities here.
I also know that some people have said the crochet version isn't quite as good; a solution could be worth buying the pattern or donating and then if you want crocheting up a similar hat.

I managed to nap today (!!) after another mostly sleepless night. My leg was hurting a little I guess, and in my half asleep haze I thought, "the trick is to have an achy leg and move it like this, that's how you sleep, you just have to remember that, that's the trick, just hold it 90°"

Curious about high quality acrylic or cotton Yarns 🧶 that come in a *very wide* variety of colors, and are usually worsted and DK. Like many different shades of of one color.
I am US based and will brave tarriffs, but the packages get stuck in the port for months sometimes 😐 so not preferred

Oh I LOVE a bulky and textured knit
Sometimes wearing a sweater is just too much...
I love wearing vests and the "Trotter vest" it's my pattern of the day. The pattern is available via Yarnz2go & Ravelry.
Happy knitting! 🧶
