I love how the autoplay on Youtube feeds me basically nothing but stuff I've already watched interspersed with content that has very little to do with what it is I'm watching instead of feeding me more unwatched stuff from the person I was watching to begin with. What the fuck are we even doing?

I find it very weird that if you give me a math problem I find it hard to do, but put it in the guise of a sewing or knitting project and I will amaze you with my ability to do the most ridiculous bullshit you've ever seen.

When's the best time to get a new iron? Hottest week of the year so far. Yep. Perfect timing. Then again, if you sew it really doesn't matter: you press your damn seams. I got a Proctor|Silex this time. It was the only iron I could find that didn't cost the earth and had a 3 year limited warranty.

The only thing I have to say on 'use easier words' discourse: use a fucking dictionary. That's what they're there for. It's even easier now as you don't even have to get a fucking book off the shelf: just type it into your damn phone. It'll even tell you how to pronounce it.

So I occasionally dye yarn. Just for myself, generally. So I'm trying to do that while dealing with feeling like shit because I can't do nothing anymore. And I'm trying to get some Drops Flora in Caramel to be less light caramel and more dark caramel, and it's going...well, it's going.

Dear commercial brat makers: if you put cheese in your sausages, put SMALL BITS. Larger bits of cheese are more satisfying to bite into, but I'm tired of getting sausages with no cheese or sausages with all the cheese on one end because of how they're made.

Finally had a Chiaogoo cable break on me tonight. It had a good almost 14 year run as it was one of the originals from the original full set of interchangeables they released. I can't exactly be mad at that run. (And I have spares.)

I just finished a pair of pajama pants that has been in my shit pile for a couple of years because I pulled the shirt out and was like "fuck this I need these pants". They are the shittiest pair of pants I've literally ever made, but they serve their function and won't leave the house.

Good things are worth doing badly. I'm sitting in one of the first things I ever sewed. It is too large now, and stained, but it's linen so...nightgown now. It started life as a sundress. It will end life as towels. This is its midlife: helping midlife-me sleep comfortably.

When I feel like crap I start a new knitting project. This is going to be a sweater when it grows up. It's going to be a while. I'm really rusty at lace.

I have decided that I desperately need to switch to sewing based on metric measurements instead of imperial. I can do the math. I have no problem doing the math. But it does slow me down in ways metric would not because I'm not having to add and subtract fractions when I draft something. :D

I have no outdoor water hookup and I am going to plant a raised bed by carrying water from inside my house in watering cans to do the very important first watering. Does this qualify for the 'welcome to Jackass' meme?

I get that, and maybe, but I can’t shake the idea that a load bearing amount of people see empathy as something that can only be correlated with weakness, whether they are conscious of this or not.

Since there's a lot of book piracy discourse happening, I guess now is a good time to remind people that library selection of ebooks can vary greatly due to ridiculous rules around lending ebooks. One way to curb piracy would be to make sane lending rules and interlibrary loan for ebooks.

I finally had some of the 7-Up Shirley Temple flavor and: what the hell is this? It tastes nothing like grenadine *or* cherry syrup. It's just weirdly sweet with this underlying cream soda flavor and no cherry or pomegranate at all. How can you fuck up something so simple *this badly*?

In case there are newer knitters who feel bad about how long it takes them to do something, I've just had to pick up the sleeve stitches for my top down raglan 5 times. I've been doing this for 15 years.

Every decade, we hear "the kids can't read or write!" Interventions that don't work are proposed. Those that do work are ignored: reducing class sizes, making kids & families feel safe at school and welcome, becoming a community resource. When their expensive reform fails, they yell at us again.

Dear newer knitters: from time to time, you are going to buy yarn you hate. I absolve you from having to use it. You can destash that shit. You do not need to keep it and continue trying to use it. If you bought too much of something, if you can't stand the texture, whatever. Just destash it.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying:

a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away

she started following when i had 100 viewers

she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career

she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in

so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project

ty to anyone who tunes in or donates

I love how the people who are always "BUT THE CHILDREN" have now decided that girls 15 and up are no longer a part of that demographic. They join trans kids, "illegal" kids, black kids, non-Christian kids, Palestinian kids. Huh. I wonder who that leaves.

If you too have to choose between cheese and butter on a toasted cheese sandwich, freeze your bread. Put two slices on a piece of parchment. Cover with shredded cheese. Put in toaster oven on Toast for 4-5 minutes. Result is better than dry toasting in a pan.

People don’t want to feel like entrepreneurs when it comes to their healthcare. They don’t want it to feel like big business. They want their tax dollars to cover it for everyone. They want to show up for care, get it and go home. No bills. No payment plans. No negotiating. Just care.

Please put the Working Families Party in your mouth. They did wonders with Mamdani’s campaign. We saw how quickly his rise to collective awareness was in less than six months.

Well, I have a new ball of yarn, a 108 stitch cast on, and I'm currently doing plain 1x1 ribbing for as long as I can stand it. I have no plan. I'm making this shit up as we go along. Fuck patterns. This is what happens when you know enough to go it alone and replace annoyance with hubris.
