I wear the one and only (so far) pair of socks I've crocheted more than any other garment I've ever made myself (wearing them right now, in fact). They are comfy and unrestrictive + don't have sensory nightmare toe seams.

If you go for it, I hope they turn out every bit as satisfying.

such breathtaking lack of reading comprehension it's almost impressive, maybe even louvre worthy

Being simultaneously touch-averse *and* touch-starved is a heck of a thing.

lmao what even... I was one of *thee* grunge kids (also one of the few goths - I contain multitudes) in my high school. It was notably unusual for someone to *not* like the Beatles. Even among the goths and metalheads. Mostly a few edgelords or hipsters who hated anything mainstream on principle.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. I can only commiserate and offer my sympathies. Earlier this year I lost my Cobweb. My baby boy. A friend called him my "soulcat" bc we were so attached to each other. It truly does fucking suck. And hurts so much. 💔

They're """testing""" to make sure they can keep killing people without resistance, bc that's what ceasefire means to them.

They only consider it broken if the people they're bombing try to fight back.

Ceasefire for thee and not for me is the only kind they accept.

yeah, unless something *specifically* takes visual awareness or is tricky to explain without seeing it, no thank you (and even then, please just get to the point)

it really does, doesn't it?

when I was a teen my dad used to say I had "selective hearing" to mean I was choosing not to listen to him (I wasn't, I have audio processing issues)

I mentioned my bday is tomorrow on another one of your bday posts, but even better is that I am also turning 40 🖤

Happy Birthday! 🎉 (mine is tomorrow, so I feel obligated to debate its inferiority on personal principle lol)

besides, why shouldn't we get the whole month?
