It's worth noting that the decision to kill him by firing squad - chosen for its symbolism, according to Hegseth - gets the symbolism entirely backwards. For example: we hung the Nazis convicted at Nuremburg, instead of giving them the death by firing squad they would have preferred.

Years ago when I dyed my hair blue, I changed it back in 3 days both cuz I couldn't handle such a drastic change in the mirror and I was self-conscious by how people viewed me... But I still think about dying it again 🤷🏻‍♂️

It just struck me how silly it is that I want to change how I look, but any time I do, the shock of seeing myself in a reflection makes me want to go back. But then I wish for change again. Even changing my black work hat to a hat that I knit takes me by surprise

I 100% blame ChatGPT for this. I'm in college with people fresh out of high school and they sound like this in class. They stand way too close in dangerous spaces. Never look things up. They don't THINK. it's awful. On that note please enjoy the comedic stylings of this wonderful comedian from IG.

This swatch was done for the brim of this hat I just finished. The yarn I used for the body reminded me of Sulley from Monster's Inc. so I matched the brim yarn color to complement. It ended up slightly too small for me, but it's a huge improvement over my first hat

chat is this good

A customer just tried to use an employee discount code that ChatGPT gave her. I work at a high-end clothing store and clocked in to my manager telling me about the most unhinged interaction from yesterday. A woman walked in asking if she could use a 40% off code she got online. We don't have any sales running, so my manager looks at the screen and realizes ChatGPT straight up handed this woman a real employee's internal ID number.

Fellas, is it gay to take an oath of undying love and loyalty to your king, to be allowed in his private quarters and also his private parts-- Swords & Lovers ⚔️🌹 I enjoyed making this and I hope to turn it into a series 👀 [ #fidiocs ; #ocsky ; #romantasyau ] www.patreon.com/cw/fidisart
A courtly love scene between a blonde knight and a dark haired king. They stand in the middle of a rose garden and are framed by a deco floral motif. The knight is wearing a dusty blue damask doublet with gold buttons and a belt on top of a simple white shirt with rolled up sleeve. He's shielding the king with his rapier and holding him firmly by the waist. The king wears a ruffled satin shirt and gold pants and is also holding the knight closer. You can feel the sun on your skin and smell of roses and morning due.

Proper way would be to actually make this bigger, then bind off, wash and block it, THEN measure. I ain't doing all that

Wild to me that I used to think swatching was pointless and a waste of time. I love it now. Look how cute this is. Now time to measure and then undo it all (not the proper way to swatch, but at least I'm KINDA swatching)

This was way more fun than I thought it would be to make. I had a skein that was really ragged and messy so I referred to a video I found a bit ago. It's center-pull so it stays clean and doesn't roll around. The thread of yarn sticking out is the end

I'm mostly following a pattern, but since I'm using a thicker yarn and I have a big head, there were issues in getting the right number of stitches on. And knitting in the round risks a twist which really wrecks the structure. That happened too. So far so good this time!

<last repost> this is how I feel about both ADHD and autism when people claim self-diagnosis isn't valid. People don't magically get a disorder *after* a diagnosis, the disorder is already there whether it's been spotted or not. Any kind of diagnosis helps bring more understanding for the person

it should be mentioned that the 2014 status quo for trans people still meant that we had suicide risks, unemployment numbers, life expectancy, poverty risk that were way worse than the average person, and somehow asking for this is seen as frivolous luxury and purity testing
