I saw the Be Beige thing doing the rounds: the library did have an actual response that basically amounts to "kick rocks dude we're not doing that" trl.org/blogs/post/f...

In today's game of "Dog or Human Baby": Bus Edition, the answer is, of course, dog.

We believe that we invent pringles. The truth is that they invent us; we are their creatures, shaped by their hard, defining edges.

Oh no, now AI users might find out about all the copper in Flock cameras

I feel so creatively... dry? Crispy? I realized the other day that I haven't been able to be super creative in a long time. I've been making stuff! But things like cross-stitch and filet crochet, where I'm following directions rather than making a lot of decisions myself.

Someday I'll have to get back to tatting. And also probably painting.

Halfway point hit!

Sound on for adorable baby howls! The seven-week-old Red Wolf pups are starting to find their voices. The critically endangered American Red Wolf family will remain behind the scenes at our offsite facility, so stay tuned online for pupdates.

I've reached the period in my life where I wish to transition all the aesthetics of my Computer Stuff from eye-searing gamer LED nightmare mess to faux antique nonsense. Which matches better with my overall vibe, I just love me a blinky light.

I started a new filet crochet piece that turned out... Large. Much larger than my powerful brain expected, somehow. I'm 40% through and out of crochet thread, so it's back to Daiso with me soon. Pattern is from Le Filet Ancien II via APL! With some tweaks from me. #crochet

Clara the rescued sea otter is showing off her lightning-fast tippy-tappies! 🦦 Those speedy paws aren’t just adorable, they’re a natural skill sea otters use to crack open hard-shelled snacks like clams and crabs using rocks as tools. Smart, speedy, and seriously cute. Happy #WorldOtterDay ❤️

Once dreamt someone wearing this tshirt so I had to make it a reality

Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif.

on the plus side this means I have a lot of experience with opening my mouth and inserting my foot and it not really doing me much damage beyond the psychic, which DOES help. kind of.

sometimes I just want to shake people and shout that I'm not a chatterbox because I don't have any social anxiety, I just can't shut my fucking mouth even when I want to

I don't have a dowel so I can't finish this but behold... tapestry #crochet

Wow RIP the biggest cornerstone community of my big weird doll hobby for the last 20 years, you will be missed.

Nvidia just called your video game "a cheap pepperoni slice" and they "can do of better". Fuck you @nvidiageforcees.bsky.social I made my video game look the way it does on purpose. Also my players "ordered it" that way on purpose. The fucking nerve of these snake oil peddlers.

my bandcamp debut! Travis did fantastic work with these field recordings. If you like noise, musique concrète, and experimental music, have a listen. And keep an eye out for the anthology and album crowdfund dropping later this year!

Baby Bao ate his very first shrimp and absolutely crushed it. 🦐 Watching him figure it out is even cuter! 💙 📹: Animal care staff Katie

Big milestone for little Bao! 💙 Our otter pup is tasting and mouthing shrimp for the first time, an important step in learning how to eat solid foods. Dad Sebastian provided the shrimp. Bao provided the theft. 🍤😂 📹: Animal care staff Chrissy & Katie

I did it! 10cm of bobbin lace for dolls, to sew onto some sleeves. I need to practice my tension, but this is much prettier than my first try... It helps to actually do things correctly according to the pattern 😂 I can't wait to use it! #bobbinlace

While mom and dad enjoy dinner, this tiny Asian small-clawed otter pup has very important business, tail toys and full-on romping. 💙 📹: Animal care staff Katie

I tried making some bobbin lace trim for my dolls, but realized I was doing it incorrectly after a while... You can see at the bottom where I started to do it better. I decided it was practice and I'll start over again. #bobbinlace

He's such a freak (affectionate)

I've been playing (read: obsessed with) Coral Island and the fact that Jim is not a marriage option feels absolutely criminal

Otterly adorable news! Pintar, our four-year-old Asian small-clawed otter, gave birth to a healthy pup on November 18. Pintar and Sebastian are first-time parents and are doing exceptionally well, keeping the fuzzy male pup safe and cozy behind the scenes.

Baby shark conservation news! In the past week, the RARCC nursery “shark nannies” welcomed two very special zebra shark pups, Jelly (female) and PowerTee (male), the first two pups to hatch from Peanut & Butter’s eggs sent to the nursery. 📹 Jelly dislodging her first snail off the bottom for eating

Super excited for Nikki 2.0, much less excited for its steadfast refusal to finish pre-downloading the update (it stuck on Check Resources, which it also did for the godawful co-op update this summer) (never change IN)

This spooky collection would not have happened without Lucia's support, expertise, and incredible art. Half the copies have been spoken for but preorders are still open!

Oh what's this on the Dim Shores store? Coming soon? dimshores.bigcartel.com/product/the-...

I did it! At long last, I have finished row 7 (of 8) of my doily! Thanks, all day in person meeting! It's messy but I'm happy with it, especially as a practice piece. 💕 #tatting

Indigo Ink set up a very cool showcase of print-ready files for various special effect techniques on their site: indigoinkprint.com/resources/#S...

Kids, do your mockups, even when you've made a pattern before... I sized up on the Kalina blouse because my bust measurement has changed, and the sleeve fit is absolutely miserable. :( Insult to injury, my own dumb ass put the waist ties like an inch too high so I have to redo that, too. #sewing

I have so many projects going, but one of them made me extremely frustrated (at myself, mea culpa for not doing a mockup)... Maybe I should go back to my tatting 8V (I will eventually but not today)

The skirt, completed!

Just a heads up to search LibGen itself, not use the Atlantic's site. My books didn’t pop up under the latter

Patchwork!

Sign I need to cool it on the crochet and switch to working on doll clothes or something for a while: my thumb is sore where the first knuckle is.... AND the second. Oops. On the plus side, the front of my yoke is done!

baby's first plant swap went really well AND I met another plant goth

I FINISHED IT #filetcrochet #crochet

I arise from my grave to share the new fiber art that's eating my brain: filet crochet! I've been wanting to learn for a while now & I'm on a boring bit of my doily tatting so I finally decided to commit (also I already have lace yarn & tiny hooks)!! here's my practice motifs #crochet

Sharing my own post from my hobby alt just to prove I'm not dead.

My motto lately: More thread, less dread. 🪡 #stitchsky #crossstitch
