I’m still right at the beginning of learning embroidery and digitising but to test out what I’ve learned I made a band tour shirt for my DnD bard Juniper and her party based on our last campaign.
Very unoptimized but I’m framing it anyway

I continue my adventures in machine embroidery. I’ve followed instructions and tried out some adorable patterns, and graduated from felt to teatowels, and I’m now dabbling in tshirts and sweatshirts.
It is time to learn digitising (which is the bit I’ve been really looking forward to).

The Telegraph thing is ghoulish, naturally, but by all rights the journalist calling a tiefling a devil should undermine any credibility the article has with the actual player base.

I have purchased a rather fancy embroidery machine. I’m sure it will have a learning curve but my main motivating force to learn fast is simple.
About once a week someone at work will say something unhinged to my face, and I want to wear that quote on a shirt the very next team meeting we have.

the best editor you could literally ever ask for in both the shortform and longform categories is @jesszimmerman.com - and she's freelance, so go hire her!!! www.jesszimmerman.com/editing.html
By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

Every time I see a perfume advert on TV, I am reminded how nuts a concept that is. The core essence of the thing is the one thing they cannot meaningfully share with you. So instead, here’s Johny Depp alligator wrestling in leather chaps.

Reposting for reach cos I reckon there’s probably a few folks in my mutuals..
anyone got any experience/made something with the UK parliament API?
I'm thinking about making a page that shows how Labour MPs vote for this latest far-right shite from the home secretary.
Ideally I render each MP's interests/dontations too.
Time to shine a big light on these grifters.

I am presumably late to this but I’ve just found the ‘Quips’ feed in the Patreon app.
Nice to see the work in progress and whatnot of people I patreonise (?) and people they recommend. It reminds me of early Pinterest and Instagram.

EHRC: the law now requires Black people to use their own facilities. It’s not segregation; it’s only segregation if you do that to white people.
Oh, sorry, when we said Black we meant trans, and when we said white we meant cis.
Did we mention we’re the equality and human rights regulator?

And I say again, the enduring appeal of many murder mystery stories is the notion that the rich and powerful can be made to pay any consequence at all for the horrendous crimes they commit in plain sight.

‘hey is me johnny crimes wud u lik to do some more crimes coz r last crimes were super fun ^_^’
