My next colonoscopy is going to be fun

today’s goose-bath-based timeline cleanse

I have fully fallen into the EDC tin rabbit hole because it scratches some deep prepper inch + tiny things + organization trifecta in my brain like a weird Tetris game of dubiously useful items. But know that I will always have tweezers, bandaids, scissors, tiny HO trains, and miniature universes

It’s that time of year I always setup a new bullet journal and immediately make some annoying mistake adding the calendar data

Tzolk’in is the most beautiful board game

What’s the deal with dogs and sunbeams

The "AI is alive!" nonsense is the ultimate expression of commodity fetishism.

The Duniest

My dog Mattie is extremely intelligent and can solve even advanced dog puzzles but nothing- and I mean NOTHING- keeps her busier than two rolled up towels sprinkled with dried treats and knotted together. Easily tuckers her out after a full hour of tossing it around. Good for rainy winter days!

so @jjco.bsky.social found photos of the Pluribus cul-de-sac on Maps, which they built just for the show

Just being a GIANT nerd during this break. Instead of relaxing, I’m over engineering a bin system for yarn and tools. The QR codes serve different purposes: one opens my Ravelry stash URL showing this bin’s contents. The other triggers an iOS Shortcut which captures metadata for the added item.

i am somewhat notoriously not a Person Of Cooking, but i wanted to make something special for @jjco.bsky.social on christmas this week and my dumbass picked eggplant parmesan, lmao BUT IT TURNED OUT GREAT

You guys seemed to like my spindles so here are a few of my handspun skeins made with these spindles.

Bluesky please enjoy (some) of my supported spindle collection. Many of these artists are my friends (and a few I even made!) More in comments!

Summer lap babies

My gift to you this holiday is a cuddly fuzz baby

How far will you make it into this 2 minute video of my goats monchin their minerals

The geese like Elvis and shoes

I promise nothing but real animal videos on my page. No AI crap. Not now, not ever

Hurting my own feelings by thinking about 2016 NYE when I had a party, spent weeks carefully planning and spending hundreds of dollars and 20 of my friends RSVP’d and not a single person showed up and were all SHOCKED when I was Big Mad at them the next time I saw them. millennials sure can suck.

I have failed at my previous, oh, 30+ years of New Years Resolutions so this year I decided to do something different and start my New Years Resolutions in July, and FINISH on New Years (plus a bit of change) by losing 50+ lbs, including even an abdominal surgery in there in October.

Sound Warning: screaming adult geese

December pool party

Are you guys excited for goslings to take over my feed? The one thing about winter is it heralds the start of baby gosling season. This year will be all about baby grays as it’s the focus of my current breeding program!

Pigs are pretty agile (as piglets!)

My page needs more Archie as a puppy content

Walking to my mailbox along my 1/4 mile driveway

My driveway grows its own bougie moss wall

This is a CSM or Circular Sock Machine and I got one for Christmas and I’m SO excited. isn’t it a beautiful machine? This photo is of a Chambord but I got an Erlbacher.

Our snack cart for delivery drivers is back for a 3rd year!

Genuine question since I feel like I’m leaving a vastly different human experience than many of you: those of you who don’t spend most of your free time creating stuff: art, writing, cooking, gardening, SOMETHING… ANYTHING!: just… what do you do with your free time? How do find meaning? I must know.

Time to relax for bed by looking at social media and cramming 70 different thoughts and jokes into my head at a rapid unforgiving pace

@comraderobot.bsky.social and I are also working through the advent moons of Dandelion Chocolate because this year has been a LOT and we needed a little end of year treat for ourselves

They should do MyChart Wrapped

any chance i have to post this

If you spin and knit your own socks, eventually you need to learn how to repair your own socks. Do you know how to use one of these useful little guys? I love visible mending since it tells the story of the garment.

We did it fam

We did some indigo dyeing in addition to pomegranate and marigold pots. We got all of these colors from just 3 dyes using iron modifiers and overdyeing.

New support spindle from a brand new female spindle maker in Oregon! I just did a little test spin on ‘er and boy she sings! Go check out Sleek Spincraft before her spindles become impossible to buy due to demand!

We did some shibori shape resist samples in my indigo vat. Indigo is a fermentation vat that requires anaerobic microorganisms to use available oxygen to reduce the vat in order for the indigo to become available to attach to the fabric. It’s bright green when you first remove it from the vat!

Everything I’ve dyed over the past 4 weeks. All natural dyes!
