My dad's youngest brother is braindead from an overdose of something. I'm surprised it took this long.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

to me the problem is increasingly less about "new thing is worse than old thing we need to retvrn" it's more like "does anyone else think it's weird all this new stuff reeeeeeally wants to scan my face"

😬😭 welp. It felted again, even in cold water, even with all the detangler in it. I do believe I can call time of death now.

It's back in water to rinse out all the conditioner and detangling spray I had to use to unfelt it. Not likely to get to the Kool-Aid bit today, but that's alright. There's no rush.

if you're an author attending BookCon this year (or, to be honest, any other ReedPop events, which include NYCC), and would like to add your name to the letter: forms.gle/V7m2YbcGguAY...

ATTN: RELX CEO Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff (CFO), and Paul Ashton Walker (Chair)
Re: Immediate Termination of contracts between RELX subsidiaries and ICE
February 9th, 2026
Dear Erik Engstrom, Nick Luff, and Paul Ashton Walker,
We are some of the authors that make events like BookCon—run by your subsidiary, ReedPop—possible. Another of your subsidiaries, LexisNexis, has a $22.1 million dollar contract with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), supplying them with the data they need to surveil and terrorize our neighbors, friends, and families.[1] We condemn any collaboration with ICE and call for the immediate termination of all contracts between RELX and ICE.
ICE has a twenty-two year history of discrimination and abuse against immigrant communities. Under the current administration, their efforts have escalated in both violence and visibility—enabled by their partners in big data, including LexisNexis.[2]
RELX is a multinational corporation worth $40 billion, of which events like BookCon are only a small fraction. Our power is limited. But BookCon advertises itself as a place where "fantasy meets reality,"[3] and the reality is that RELX is profiting from mass terror against communities of color, including the murder of eight people this year alone. The fantasy is that a bunch of readers and authors could ignore it; we know a villain when we see one.
We, as authors, intend to honor our immediate commitments to BookCon and to our readers. If RELX chooses to renew their current contract with ICE–which expires on February 28, 2026[4]–we will be forced to reevaluate our association with all future ReedPop events.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5c65uqakb4kmnss5zgdsfego/bafkreicnq6khcuo2nkyef76ghhzvaikkm4vojnlasyxpuemjnrtmni4koa@jpeg)

Right. Well. It has taken me... 3? hours since I started the repair process. It's mostly okay?? I've ended up unsticking it from itself and am taking a break before putting it back on the swift so I can go rinse it.
The 3 hours includes approx. 45 minutes of just sitting and waiting.

I'm in the process of un-felting it (or at least trying to lol) right now, so I'll update again later.

I'm really irritated at Google right now. Every single time I try to use one of their products (Gmail and YouTube, mainly) I have to sign back in despite never having signed out in the first place. This happens on VPN. Turn that off, and it's fine, but says I have days worth of suspicious activity.

I FELTED IT 😭😭 NOOOOOOOOOOO 😭
(For those unaware, yarn that's become felted is very risky to peel apart and work with because it messes with the structural integrity of the fiber cells. This is entirely my fault because I kept poking at it in the hot bath.)

Letting it do the first set with dye, per the dye instructions. In approx. 30 min, I'm gonna put it in a water/vinegar bath with the remaining dye and heat set it on the stove. Beyond this point, I am merely winging it.
Don't worry; there will be a blog post of the journey!

Today I am trying dye experiment no. 2. This one is 100% wool, non-superwash, and I'm attempting to dye it with Manic Panic hair dye (because why not? I've wanted to know for a while now). Really hoping I don't end up felting it. If the MP dye doesn't work, I do have Kool-Aid, so. We'll see!
