When I’ve looked into newsletter services, they always seem very pricey and entirely overpowered for what I would want which is why I’ve just been using the free tier on my Patreon. Wondering if there is a better way…🤔

Nicole Miles @nicolemillo.bsky.social · Aug 28

I’m curious to know if everyone just uses substack as their newsletter these days or are there better newsletter options out there?

I just realised I didn’t have my website listed in my profile this whole time…🤦🏾‍♀️

I’ve checked and Aussies can also preorder it from Kinokunya! I really don’t like directing people to Jeff’s but that’s obviously a vendor if you can’t preorder from anywhere else... I believe the commercial brick & mortars (or their online shops) are best for preorders though!

I am super proud of how my #EmersonPullover turned out and I’m excited to knit more stuff!

Nicole is a Black woman and she is outside in a grassy field between two massive boulders striking a pose to show off the all-over half-brioche stitch, medium grey sweater she recently finished knitting. She is also wearing light blue jeans and brown walking boots.

I think the point is just that the male gaze is the one that hyper-focuses on a rigid physical type and the female gaze tends to be more flexible and isn’t just flipping the subject from female extreme to male. The second part of the sentiment isn’t talking about a physicality but a character trait.

😂😂😂 man that’s relatable!

I’m not sure I’ll ever get sock blockers, but they do look very photogenic afterwards!🧦✨

Aw sad I missed this!!

Or if it could at least give some warning?! Like “🚨Weewoo! 🚨Weewoo! You are 3 reps away from can’t-sit-on-the-toilet territory! Abort workout NOW if you wish to be able to pee in peace!” No one else needs to hear the warning but if my body could just tell me in clear terms before the damage is done.

Gorgeous stuff, Martin!

I’m currently working on a nonfiction kids book about historical events and every time I need to search for reference material mostly AI garbage pops up and it makes me so profoundly sad about the future of research and learning and access to accurate information.

Ah! Delightful!!
