Velocipede [vuh-LAH-suh-peed]
(n.)
- An early form of the bicycle, usually having two or three wheels, that is propelled by the rider. A ‘bone-shaker’.

Used in a sentence:
“The velocipede was discovered days later, leaning gently against a locked door, its handlebars inexplicably damp.”

they fit a little better if you wash them and they shrink
(if you haven't got a washer you can slosh them in the sink)
but you really have to soak them if they're sweaty and they stink
until the stains are gone

laundry, laundry hallelujah (repeat 3x)
they're dry so put them on

Saaaaaayyy, those are some very tall heavily-textured socks you're knitting. Be a real shame if you ran out of yarn halfway through the toe decreases.

For a few years now I've been increasingly suspicious of the way Neil Gaiman seems to be attempting to position himself as the inheritor of Terry Pratchett's legacy, so I wanted to write a little about that & why speculation about whether PTerry knew he was a creep kind of misses the point (small 🧵)

Every so often, my mom sends me a text that's basically just "I’m going to ruin your whole day! 💀😁🌿"

So how did anyone else spend their afternoon?

Hello! How fortunate it is that I have run into you just now. I'm sure you're curious about how the house construction is going. There's been some progress with the masonry.

It has been one of those heavily overcast days when I keep waiting for it to get light, and now it's getting dark.

I almost didn't make a #fractal calendar this year, because I'm feeling extremely dubious about even wanting there to be a next year. But here it is anyway. www.zazzle.com/digital_baro...

This is a calendar with fractals on it.

I am perhaps unreasonably excited about the halftone stamps because I've been tinkering with halftone myself lately. #fractals #art

I've been trying to distract myself from the horrors of modern life by #knitting unnecessarily complex cable swatches. They are partly inspired by printer's ornaments and other typographic elements.
