Were I the drinking kind, I would totally have a few generous drinks tonight.

I saw a "socialism = you make, they take" bumper sticker the other day and I can't stop thinking about it
how do they think capitalism works?

I'm desperately trying to block a shawl. #SirSqueakertonTheFirst is desperately trying to play.
Who will win this epic battle of wills?
Probably the one with retractable knives at his fingertips. #knitting

Okay #MechanicalKeyboard experts:
I want to replace my Cherry blue switches with something quieter but with good feedback. What should I get?
I love the clicky keyboard, but my office is too close to my spouse's for me to use it.

Was blocking a shawl many, many months after I finished it (like, almost a year) and discovered that I dropped a stitch while I was binding off.
I'm just gonna cry in the corner for a while. #knitting

Why aren't there picture books about dinosaurs for adults?

@npub18ld…2sh9 I don't trust myself enough to write it out or I'd absolutely convert these. I was really excited for them!

I started and failed three new #knitting projects last night.
Pattern writers, I'm begging you to include both written and charted instructions.
My neurodivergent brain cannot work from charts, at least not in the beginning of a project. I have ADHD, which means my ability to remember what a symbol means on the wrong side vs the right side is nonexistent and I doubt myself the entire time I'm knitting. It's more stress than a hobby should be.

Hey! There's a massive recall on Boar's Head and Old Country meat products. Check your fridge if you buy their stuff. Nobody wants listeriosis.

@npub1qjr…kgt0 Oh, that's so pretty! I haven't worked at all with linen, as far as I can remember.

@npub1qjr…kgt0 in a car from Phoenix to Portland, so from hot hot weather to potentially cool & rainy (or very warm).

What are some good #knitting projects for a long road trip? Please assume that socks, slippers, and gloves are already under consideration :)

J: Was the water used in the rest stop sinks potable or non-potable? Because the sign on the door led me to believe that all of the water was non-potable.
A: I don't know. We should probably assume it was non-potable.
J: So what does that mean?
A: Don't eat your hands.

Clockwise is one of my favorite podcasts to do, and this week's was no exception.
Also, if you're a @npub1gly…6mun member, you can listen to Mikah make me cry!

It's 2024, the world is on fire, and people are still saying that audiobooks aren't books.
Just let it go and let people enjoy life a little. Nobody's forcing you to listen.

I used to read every bit of information I could find when big events happened. Now I find all the speculative hot takes exhausting.
"Just wait until we have more information!" I grouse to myself.
Am I old?

If you're against gun violence unless you dislike the target, you're not actually against gun violence.

All we had to do was improve indoor ventilation and get people on board with wearing high-quality masks but instead we're just pretending everything is normal during a pandemic that is disabling millions, reducing the lifespans of millions, and killing millions.

Anyone have a favorite hat pattern for a highly variegated DK weight yarn? #knitting

Any tips for someone with #ADHD sitting for hours to get a #tattoo? I'm a very fidgety person and my usual strategies for sitting still won't work.

Just read a post where a hair stylist was cautioning people about putting moose in their hair and I've gotta say, I think she should just advise people to never use moose. They're bigger than you might think. 🫎
(Moose are large, mammalian quadrupeds. Mousse is a hair styling product (or a spongy, soft, airy food). English is a terrible language.)

J got fancy MERV 13 filters for our apartment's HVAC and I'm starting to feel less like death warmed over for the first time in two months.
Maybe instead of being able to accomplish one medium-sized task today, I can do two medium tasks. Or maybe a medium task and also emptying the dishwasher!
People who empty the dishwasher regularly are magicians, I swear.

@npub17vj…g088 I haven't read them! I don't generally like historical romances so I've been wary.

My best friend is an Android user and looking for a good podcast player now that Google is killing off theirs. Have a recommendation for a replacement?
