Seeing the new generation of fiber arts practitioners struggling with the suddenly-back-in-style chenille...
IT WAS ALWAYS LIKE THAT!!! CHENILLE IS A LIE!!!! So soft, so sumptuous, so velvety-- on the skein. In practice, it's a shedding nightmare that makes Labradors look like Sphinx cats.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.
it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Boosting the cat signal
I know it’s a long shot but I have a very sweet kitten in need of a good loving home. Fuzzy loves to snuggle and is very sweet and playful. I wish I could keep him but our house is full. If anyone needs a good purrbox please let me know

Ever since summer started, the kittens have been complaining that they're arctic creatures and I do not have the a/c low enough. Today I baked bread, so naturally they felt the need to lay in front of the 475 degree oven

Also in customizing our clothing and surroundings when we're pushed to wear and decorate with the same mass-produced crap
People are quick to pooh-pooh things like knitting and crochet and embroidery and quilting, but there's something a little rebellious about deliberately being inefficient when we're constantly bombarded with tips to optimize our personal output.

Have a closet full of clothes you don't wear anymore? Helpsy finds the next best use for used (or unused) textiles! BUT NOT IF THOSE CLOTHES ARE WET!

People buy a lot of clothes, then trash a lot of what they buy. What can a responsible consumer do with unwanted wear?

This week's #showmeyourknits is garter stitch, and I have prettier and more useful knits, but one time someone handed me the ugliest acrylic yarn and I said I'm gonna make a tie out of that. People laughed. Well who's laughing now?

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.
But Bluesky! You deserve EVERYTHING!

I dreamed I was in NZ, doing an undersea adventure film with Sam Neill. They compensated me with a giant bag of edibles. To get them back to the states, I bought a stuffed penguin & put them inside it. I later realized the penguin was alive. Here is a song about that dream, from the penguin's view.

"Schadenfreude" is one of those complicated German things.
The gist of it is, if you see Freud's shadow, it means you have another two months of seeing phalluses everywhere.

bumblebees are inspirational creatures. Everyone who sees them thinks they have no business flying, science agrees they have no business flying, and they fly everywhere anyway because they want to fly and don't give a damn what you think.
