What if I just sold everything I own and moved into the forest to live with the fae?

It's really the spirit behind this account anyway, so I think I'm gonna give it the old college try.

My original plan was the acronym for "attach some shit" stitch, but I think we can all agree that may not be the best idea.

For y'all. It might be exactly what I call it moving forward.

Oh, damn.

Grafting it is. I just always think of grafting as skin. Kinda icks me out, so I never used it. I'll work through it for the cause, but could we come up with a better term?

That is absolutely a problem that sucks. I know it well.

I was thinking more like the concept of steeking, and then kitchener or something the seams together.

Fwiw, this is my brain spouting shit without thinking about the actual doing of the thing.

I know when I see the shirt that snack time is gonna be lit. Cookies for daaaays.

Thank you for the kid's next present. They have a Baking Day butter shirt and are hunting for a butter apron. They need these to match.

I've never used one, so I can't help there. However, I do wonder if you could do flat knitting with one and sew a sock out of that?

They freeze incredibly well. This is the opposite of an issue.

The Catholic Church. The one historically infamous for staying tf out of politics, am I right?

Josh Chafetz @joshchafetz.bsky.social · 17h

So ... Catholic *traditionalists* want a pope who doesn't involve himself in global politics?

*puts all of my degrees in a box* Won't be needing those again, I guess. They're useless against such sound logic.

Them: I don't know what comes after a hundred and nine.

Me: What comes after 9?

Them: 10. *rolls eyes*

Me: Then use that to extrapolate what comes after 109. It's 110.

Them: *rolls eyes* No, it's not.

Spouse asked the kid how high they could count, and they're still going. Spouse was not ready for this show of academic excellence.

I just found out that they make Surrey bikes as 6 seaters. This opens up so many new possibilities.

My YouTube algorithm thinks it's a music night.

Yes, I would love to listen to Chinchilla rn, actually.

What if I started growing potatoes and just started handing them out to people in my town?

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 1d

Since this seems like it is going to be a trend.

What if I just knit little bags with the magic fae yarn and sold them to pay for next month's stupidly high electric bill because our electric company is trash?

Tylwyth Teg Cottage @tylwythtegcottage.bsky.social · 1d

And what if I put a coffee shop on the back of a bike and traveled the country, knitting and researching regional crafts?

We have a snake named Jörmugandr, and we call him "Ermagersh jermengendr" or "Jormy" so I get it.

"We see you bought the Bible. We think you would like to read this autobiography of this far right person."

Tf I don't. And if I do end up doing it out of curiosity, it won't be for monies.

Man. Bookstore recs just don't hit as hard when you are a researcher of religions. I bought that first book because it was directly tied to something else. I don't want the book you think now fits my whole personality.

Apparently, people are calling to start speaking only Spanish in public around *specific groups*. Add to that Bad Bunny saying we had 4 months to learn what he's saying, I wonder if I should try to dust off my childhood language skills real quick.

No. That was yesterday. Today is Friday 2.0, the Sequel.
