oh boy

@dimsie.bsky.social I feel confident you will love this as much as I do www.loweandco.nz/properties/1...

Lately I can't sleep past about 5.30 regardless of what time I go to bed and this morning I decided to get up and start work and gosh it's a productive two hours when nobody else is logged on

I thought I was rooting for MPP to get a cup for the PWHL playoffs but Fanuza Kadirova won my heart in that series vs the Fleet so now I'm both kind of happy about any possible outcome and also kind of sad. I really wanted the Charge to tie it up so that OT goal was crushing although also v good

This guy who I really admire as a knitter posted some project notes for some hats he made with some whacky finishing techniques (you basically knit a super long stockinette tube, then reverse the stockinette for the crown, and then you fold the tube up and graft it to itself twice)

Holds up (Fleet/Victoire just went to triple overtime in an 0-0 game)

I'm so obsessed with spinning right now that I just came home, spun a bit, ate dinner, tidied my living room, put the rubbish out, folded some washing, had sex, went to bed, and now I'm lying in bed like "I could get up and do some more spinning it's not even that late"

I finished a couple of knitting projects this week! Both in handspun. The satisfaction is off the charts ngl

Yes, giving $ to former MPs and James Cameron and &c is repugnant. But those guys can avoid any plausible means testing if they choose But means testing will result in a certain number of poor people getting nothing because they didn't tick the right box. Ask any beneficiary

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

Had a really good knitting/crafty weekend (finished other than wet setting, my long draw sample spins, finished my handspun vest, restarted for the third time and finally successfully a handspun scarf) and now I'm at my desk just massively resenting that I have to work for a living

Controversial opinion PWHL goalkeeping should be worse

The fun thing about this is that this is Rachel after maybe 60 minutes at the mall

"I love seasonal eating" - guy who had hot cross buns and feijoas for breakfast

Controversial take: Hobi was bored with his solo stuff and that's why he's the one of the rapline going hardest on Arirang

I want to eat hot cross buns but I don't want to get up and make hot cross buns and this is a dilemma

Saw Bic Runga with the NZSO tonight and she was sooooo good and the orchestration was amazing BUT I really want to see her again at a gig where I can dance and sing along

Jimin: Is it possible to substitute taking off my shirt for looking ridiculous?

Quote this with your AO3 fic with the most kudos: archiveofourown.org/works/2808020 By a country mile, it's the fluffy Howl's Moving Castle story I wrote for Yuletide more than a decade ago

"rotate-spindle" is a weird name, unlike all of those other kinds of spindles that don't rotate??? anyway, now that I have learnt to spin I finally have a new apocalypse/Modern Girl In Thedas/transmigration skill, "inventing" the treadle wheel

Having reposted this, I see RNZ has now taken the word "falsely" out

I think it is important to give credit to RNZ for "looking out the window to see if it is raining" in this article. Because we should note when media are being responsible in reporting claims, not just getting angry on cases of bad reporting www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

"How does one hate a country, or love one?" Ursula Le Guin always out there expressing my exact feelings in trying times.

there are already cities in the region that are basically road networks with buildings attached. if this created nice places with strong local economies then no one would care about driving into wellington because everyone would be driving into upper hutt

fuck whedon and baldwin but frankly i think either of their involvement or lack thereof would be a lot less troubling than the show's one-two punch of "everyone speaks bad chinese and there are Zero chinese people" and the lost cause propaganda that's core to the show's premise

Weird to be like "I enjoyed this thread about a very serious topic" but it's really measured and kind to teens and parents

people get mad at me when I say stuff like “you don’t miss 2016, you miss being a little bit younger than you are now” but this definitely is a case of you think you remember this show being good but what you actually remember is being a whole lot younger than you are now

I'm learning from a lot of the reactions to this that people do not open their stories in view whole work as default and I would just like to tell everyone: change ur ways, chapters are for chumps

This reminds me of that Frankie Boyle joke about how Americans not only come to your country and kill your people, they also come back twenty years later to make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers sad.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology
