Charlotte @spriteacus.bsky.social · 12/09/2026It’s really good and important to have logical and realistic bans on Gen AI, I 100% support this, but attempting to limit or ban ‘super intelligent AI’ is not going to give the facts or realistic limits on what you want to ban / control that can be enacted in law and used to keep people safe. 010

Charlotte @spriteacus.bsky.social · 01/09/2026There is a middle ground of going with kids, letting them make decisions and talking them through what those decisions led to.

Charlotte @spriteacus.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I love stretchy fabrics, but some people find them harder. You don’t want to stretch them too much so if you are working on a machine it can be hard to keep them right. But hand sewing along a pinned line is pretty decent.

Charlotte @spriteacus.bsky.social · 24/08/2026There are loads of places to ‘rent’ or use sewing machines for your own projects, but hand sewing is perfectly viable as well. And ironing the lines you want to sew will make it easier on you. 010
Charlotte @spriteacus.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Modifying existing clothes is a great way to figure out the basics, then using fabric that either has a bit of stretch, or is on the bias will give a lot of give so you don’t have to be super accurate.
