Hey THE FEYWILD JOB is out in less than a week but if you haven't preordered this is a great time to do it no matter where you like to shop for books. I hear B&N is having a sale, I think that's cool, and it's hardcover so a discount could be nice there is also an audiobook release too! VICO ORTIZ!

Creative uses of knitwear. Dunked it in water, the climate below is actually rather nice at roughly 30°C outside. I think my mind broke, bc the 28 degree in my bedroom feel rather nice and cool-ish now 😅 Spending the day mostly reading, some knitting last night #knitsky #prideknits

Heatwave hack: Put pale wet sheets on the *outside* of your windows. That way, the sun can't hit the glass directly, so less greenhouse effect, the evaporation keeps the glass cool and you don't have to deal with the elevated humidity inside. Putting a clothes rack with wet stuff on the balcony

Equality.

Dream place and weather

Reading about Soviet literary criticism is like reading about Book Twitter/Tumblr (etc) and I don't mean that hyperbolically, I mean that all the totalitarian anti-nuance positions about terrifying people into silence have been reproduced unironically by nepo babies bashing on books in the zeitgeist

I’m loud about my sex work online because it’s the only place society allows me to be loud about it If you’re posting nudes for the love of the game I salute you! But please remember there are those who rely on selling nudes for food and shelter, and our rights matter just as much 🧚🏽‍♀️

Vladimir Putin arrives at the airport in Poland and gets in line at customs desk. Customs officer: Occupation? Putin: No, just visiting.

#knitsky #crochetsky #knitting #crocheting Question for y'all: I wanna make a cloak for myself roughly like the ref image I made below. Would y'all recommend knitting or crocheting for it, and if so do y'all have any pattern recommendations for a general base?

Trying sth new after that article about Australian ways to deal with heatwaves. Also: instead of knitting🧶

Thank you for saying "generally viewed as" less artistic 🙂 Coding is as much art as science. It's hard to explain how my brain interprets a code file, but it's something akin to lace or macrame. I see "tension" and "balance"between the structures of the code, big and small.

Algorithm Cleanse…

🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 My next Pride art. You guys suggested Melinoë and Nemesis from #hades2. I drew the background traditionally (while melting in my room) with acrylic gouache and colored pencils. Afterward I added the characters digitally. I should do that traditional/digital mix more often. 👀 #melnem

Mood

I have a special contempt for ablebodied people who say that in the middle of a continent wide heatwave temperatures of 26-30°C are enjoyable summer temp. Those "enjoyable" temp still meant I had to cancel a medical appt that was supposed to help with the CFS that keeps me from "enjoying" summer.

It's weird how a random thing can guide you back to your roots. So thank you for the theme of light and dark for #showmeyourknits. It has been a gentle reminder of how much I love microscopic drawings and turning them into knitting designs. This is the Dotty Pine wrap (link in alt text) #knitting

Morgenbuch 17 Samuel Clowes Huneke: I will not abandon you - Queer women in nazi Germany "The existence of a queer subculture even at the height of fascism is an example of the kind of queer joy that persists even in the blackest of moments. It's a reminder that resistance can be fun....

I long for the days when it's finally cringe enough in the bad way to make porn of things that look like kids.

Ally is not something you can self-identify as, it's a title that you earn.

Are you looking for a Southern, psychological, societal collapse horror novel with a trans man protagonist? No? It's the last week of pride. Read this anyway. And check out Elsewhere - a fantasy tale featuring two badass trans women, available July 1.

Worth a go instead: All students get a week of anti-manosphere training at the start of every school year. Boys identified as influenced by the manosphere get extra training. Funding for every term, if necessary. By the time they get to h.s. they're so disruptive to learning, would easily pay off.

Wow. “Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.” Here in Australia 40C tends to kill fewer people than when it’s 35. When it’s mid thirties people are more inclined to overestimate what’s possible and over exert themselves. 35. Get outta the heat, ya absolute nongs.

It's happening again! From now through Friday, you can pre-order the paperback of Lessons in Magic and Disaster for 25 percent off thru Barnes & Noble with code PREORDER25. A trans woman teaches her queer mom how to do magic and uncovers a Georgian scandal! www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lessons-in...

🧶 Welcome to Camelot!!! This cowl pattern needs some testing and it would be an honor if you applied to test it this July! Please apply: forms.gle/EK3WW4pgBUdb... (it’ll also be on my linktree) #crochettestercall #crochetpatterntestersneeded #crochetpatterndesigner #thatwitchindy #camelotcowl

Sometimes I hear the ghost of her paws clicking on the floorboards, see the curve of her back and the colors of her furr, the memory of her movement. .. Aurora carries her with her in her gestures and somehow it inhabits a place in me that felt emptier before. Now it doesn't. You're still with us.

3 steps to combat genAI slop in the #knitting community 🧶

I’ve never met a c0nc0rdance thread I didn’t love but this one is the meds I need today

My brain is so fried from being 1.5hs outside in the shade that I couldn't even knit swatches, let alone cast on a wrap. 🙄 But thanks to past me I found my vaccine pass with the rest of the bureaucracy.

I don't scream as much about trans rights anymore because I know my friends don't wanna keep reading over and over again about folks who don't think they deserve any, but don't ever forget that I love my people so fuckin much and if you have a problem with them, you deserve a brick to the skull.

Hey so as a reminder about why all the takes today are extra bad ... keyword muting still appears to be malfunctioning.

In case people haven't caught up to the political dimension of the beigification.

Sock progress and determined to survive this heat 4am is my favorite temperature 🧶

I usually write a lot of suffering into my trans characters. It's one of the ways I've processed what it means to be trans in this world. But I never want my work to reduce transness to vessels for tragedy/lessons in resilience. We're more than wounds. The next one gets wish fulfillment instead.

And a toadally adorable closeup

For light&dark week, I chose these knee-high socks. This was one of those 'one-more-row'-knits, with a cool graphic look. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #knitting

This is beautiful. The artist is credited at the bottom. #knitsky

I'd like to suggest a new #knitting concept: The Reverse Yarn Chicken. This is when you tell yourself you'll stop knitting once the yarn runs out, but it just keeps going and going like it's never going to end. I swear this skein has looked like this for the last 400 stitches.

Completed the Flow Top by @linda.skuja.design and I love it so much! I have already started my next project that is also by @linda.skuja.design 😂🙌🏻🧶 #crochet #menwhocrochet #guyswhocrochet #menwhoknit #guyswhoknit #crochetart #gaycrochet #crochetartist #thestoutstitch #yarn #crochetersofbluesky

Learned this today: 2 cool packs in a linen around the neck so the cool packs rest against the main arteries. Helps tremendously with the heat, esp if your body can't regulate well

For the light/dark theme of #showmeyourknits I've thought about doing it a bit metaphorically. The Dark is my FCK HP vest (you can get the chart from me plus the project gives you pointers how to manage the float problem). I've rage knitted this after another encounter with a True Fan🙄

Do any of you have a tested crocheted pattern for Pokemon Charizard or a design from someone you trust? 🧶 #crochetsky
