My name is James and I use this forum mostly for happy-making things. This is not the place I do my "make the world better" stuff. Therefore, I mute, block, and don't follow people who harsh that vibe. Nothing personal; use bluesky however you want! I do the same.

Looking for "Hard of Hearing" pins to wear at work and ironically so many of the designs I'm finding are hard to read quickly and easily. Like. Buddy. People don't read for more than two seconds. They're not gonna puzzle out an accessibility aid.

I always want to shop small, but I can only afford maybe one purchase so I am frozen with indecision on which is the one shop to win my affections. And then I don't buy anything, except getting take out from my local Mexican restaurant. Tortas win my affections every time.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

I am crocheting a thing! I learned a new stitch (Elizabeth). You can see where I lost a stitch and made my row shorter (not on purpose.) But overall, it looks like it should. #crochet

I am awake and out of bed, but at what cost? The cost of no longer being under several warm blankies.

The sweater you’re knitting is supposed to be 10 stitches to an inch, but you’re only getting 7? Problematic gauge gap.
Angry person yelling at chill person who is responding by being calm, which makes the angry person even more mad? Problematic rage gap.

Yesterday at work, I felt something poke my butt. Turned around, there was a dog, nose at butt level, who, when I turned around and spread my hands to demand WHAT, pushed its head into my head to give itself pets. Which, fine, I guess that might as well happen. ;-)

Middle of the night pains got me taking a gummy; was not awake enough to really check but maybe two were stuck together? Am now out of bed, six hours later, and are my eyes open? I don't know. You don't know.
