Rewatched Encounter at Farpoint yesterday, and I was struck by how when we first encounter Dr. Crusher, she's buying fabric. How nice it is to think that in an age of replicators and other such technological magic, folks would still be engaging in the act of sewing.

I have lots! Spinning yarn, knitting, weaving, sewing, leatherwork, basic electronics, cooking, etc.
But I'm also chronically ill and have very poor vision, so once I run out of meds or my glasses get broken, I'm screwed.

Repost with your apocalypse skill.
I have none. I would simply die. I would simply lie down on the floor and gently perish.

Food preparation, textile repair and bossiness. Put me in charge of the commune’s kitchen and laundry. Also I have killed chickens and then eaten them.

I was looking at vintage sewing machines on eBay and realized that my Kenmore sewing machine, which was my first big adult purchase, is now a vintage machine.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

Yesterday I sewed a quick pen holder for my big notebook.

I bought a hat at the thrift store, took it apart, and now I'm trying to turn it into a different hat. My goal is a boater, but I need to figure out how to make the hat crown go up.

My first knitted project in ages, and I realized that thanks to my chainmail hobby, I have basically limitless stitch markers. It lives in my new @clockworkart.bsky.social tote bag

Most recent sewing project: my heavily altered version of a Rabbit and Hat vest pattern. I altered the collar shape, added the shoulder points, and heavily altered the shape of the front and back pieces to get them to lay flat to the body.

Please support striking workers in the way they’ve asked for. Instead of a viewer boycott, which they haven’t asked for, can you commit to donating to the strike fund, which they have? Maybe an amount equal to what you pay for streaming each month, for even one of the streamers, if not all?
I think we should be talking about a viewer's strike right now. Cut off the streaming services at least, until an agreement is reached with WGA and SAG. Maybe no movies as well? What do you think?
