I'm reading a book that is mostly about the techniques of spinning with a spindle (Respect the Spindle, Abby Franquemont) and it starts with just a little overview of the history and how different types of spindle developed in different places and god, I want so much more.

It is important to me that everyone knows @saramchenry.bsky.social is here on Blusky and has made stickers and patches from that tweet. You can buy them.

If you use AI for your April 1st joke you are the fool.

I'll check this box labeled "tarot". . .you're not gonna believe this

Where was @talkwordy.bsky.social

Made a big cowl.

In a conversation elsewhere we have determined the true title for at least 80% of @tkingfisher.com books: Biology Facts for Naughty Children

Have I mentioned the color-changing earrings lately? Because I have color-changing earrings (in twelve different colors, because of COURSE I had to get just about every possible variant of these beads) and they are really cool if I do say so myself. wyrdingstudios.com/products/tri...

I was musing a little about this last night but I am very much wondering if we're going to start seeing another big resurgence of fiber and hand crafts. Partly as a recession indicator and partly as a reaction against AI and how much of our reality is being stripped away on a daily basis.

Hi all, a dear friend needs to complete a massive move on an extremely tight deadline, and could use some help. For safety reasons, they need to stay anonymous. I super appreciate any help and shares on this fundraiser: gofund.me/6e78446d3

On the way home from my doctor appointment today I wondered if anyone had made a barometer honoring the former president. A Barack Obameter.

This is a friend of both me and Lia. Thank you.

Knitting! At the Girl Aquarium

@midimyers.com your mom came over last week because we're storing stuff for Mink & Andy & today we got one of her Christmas cards in the mail w/a letter about how much fun she had chatting with us. Which is really sweet & the card has you & Dina & your mom is just so fucking thrilled with all of you

Yeah I'm into sin: Snugglin' Is Nice

Photo of Kenny for luck and goodwill and so on

I did my work and now I have tea and knitting but my god I am so sleepy

It’s overcast here so I can’t get the colors to show up as well as I’d like in photos, but these four pieces are up on the website now! wyrdingstudios.com

For the cost of 2 days of the War in Iran we could fund the National Weather Service fully. For the cost of the war for a week we could give every student in the country free lunches for a year.

There’s been a rash of men on Reddit complaining that their exes “stole” their friends in the divorce but when you scratch the surface it becomes pretty clear that their ex wives were the social secretaries of their marriage and all of their pre-divorce socializing occurred bc she orchestrated it

Trying to do literally anything online relating to MassHealth is completely impossible and I'm losing my mind. "Enrolling online is the easiest way! Click here! Uh oh! Somebody didn't update the security certificate so you can't go to that page!" Over and over and over and over and over and over and

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

(DST day is one of my favorite holidays. The *light* comes *back.* I know these are unrelated, I do not care.)

God seriously. You gotta vet the store, the owner, the clientele, and *then* consider individual gamers as possibilities. Some of them still think Gamergate was good.

Man I Fuckin Love Words

The fun thing about losing a chunk of my identity and its associated hobbies for 10 years is that when I got it back suddenly I get to go through all the *stuff* that goes with it and it's like a super fun present from past me? I forgot about a bunch of this stuff! I have good tools!

I mean at least it's not Randy

Every once in awhile I think about this Nancy comic and it makes me laugh every single time. Absolute perfection.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them. At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

Y’all ever walk into a public restroom and immediately whisper “Jesus Christ”

Darkly encouraging thought for the day: they think they can break me? They can't break ME! I broke myself YEARS ago! Come at me, motherfuckers

Also I finished socks last night.

Knitting a mobius, like one does.

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

Making memes entirely to amuse myself.

But the real neutral lovers know it's all about Taupe 2 these days @aabria.bsky.social

Humans are not the only unserious species.

Dear @aabria.bsky.social @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social and @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social : please tell me how to spell the name of the scrappy gloves from Alf Gappens Day. I want to make them real.

I finished my glovesies! They match my cowl. I keep leaving the right one upstairs so imagine the same thing mirrored.

You'd think by now, in the YooL 2026, companies, even small local ones, would know better than to send their employees on their personal accounts to get in social media fights with customers. Alas, no.

Adulthood is the worst scam

At 9:18, 3rd period of the Finland-Switzerland women's ice hockey QF game, the ice crew came to clean the ice during a pause What follows is the funniest use of the slo-mo alternate angle tech I've seen them use during these Olympics of one of the crew members falling

Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon. Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

Pretty new supported spindle

The thing I say that makes me sound ancient, more than anything, is how much I miss how the internet *used* to be. But it's true. The kids don't know how good and weird it used to be.

Awesome books. Awesome charity. Remember to bump up the donation from the default to make the donation substantive.
