All lit up, before solder, and before foil.
Need to work out better ways to get the solder down, 0.5mm of slippage here or there adds up fast.

Can't say enough good things about this pattern: www.etsy.com/listing/4302...
Well thought-out design with great mobility and an excellently-produced pattern. Just finished these as the first pair in not-muslin and I'm absolutely making a whole rack of 'em (with a slightly reduced rise).

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Is The Tetris Company going to celebrate what should be "Tetris Month"?
In February 2026, the four weeks are lined up perfectly as four lines - which is exactly what a Tetris is!
The last time this happened was in 2015, and the next two times will be in 2037 and 2043.

More cuts per minute than an action film with a septugenerian protagonist; less accurate speech animation than a fistful of muppets.

A lot of people heard about book burnings as a kid, and internalized “books are sacred” rather than “the suppression of knowledge is evil”.
Some of y'all have never lived near a library and seen the dumpsters full of trashy romance book donations they didn't have space for and it shows. I like to think of books as sacred, as much as the next gal, but they're just paper. None of these were the last copy of a work.

I'm on site where a federal agent shot a Minneapolis man this morning. It's bad.
Dozens of federal agents are facing off with hundreds of outraged residents. People being tear gassed, helicopters above, I keep hearing pops, and lots of loud BANGS.

My neighbor told me he keeps losing falcons to the widening gyre so I asked how many falcons he has and he said he just goes to the falconry and gets a new falcon afterwards so I said it sounds like he’s just feeding falcons to drown with the ceremony of innocence and then Yeats started crying.
