I see folks saying make your own clothes to avoid tariffs. Aside from the fact materials are also subject to tariffs, a brief thread on knitting costs. 🧶 First up, by far my cheapest pair of knit socks, yarn cost $16. (My dog is concerned about global economics.)

I'm late AF to this but Terminator is fucking great! I was 2 when it came out so too little. I thought it was scary? I don't like scary so I never watched it. It is not scary and it absolutely bangs.
