Let’s talk about ‘whoa.’

First of all, ‘woah’ is not yet considered an established spelling variant of ‘whoa.’

While ‘woah’ has grown in prevalence since the late 20th century, ‘whoa’ is still about 5 times as common as ‘woah.’

If you’re breaking a pencil in half but you go “oh that’s fine to do because it’s not a real person” you may want to consider what makes you okay with saying that

Finished knitting this sweater right at the beginning of the last heat wave. The weather is finally cool enough to take it out for a spin!

A photo of a hand knitted crewneck raglan pullover, sleeves and collar in a yarn that is a variegated rainbow of colours from Madelinetosh, and the body in a gradient of natural colours with multicoloured speckles from Hedgehog Fibres. This is what stashbusting looks like.

The reference photos for the art in question

A photo of a black cat looking up at the person taking the photo. Her front paws are in the cute little pose that earned her the nickname Fancy Boots

You too could have your cats immortalized by this amazing artist!

This was as good looking as guys got in the 90s, Amanda. It was a trying time.

The fact that Bill & Ted are still friends and are both really solid guys makes me think the Wyld Stallyns prophecy could still come true.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

It’s one deluxe annotated edition, Jim, how much could it cost? $10?

Minister Lightbound says it’s time for tough choices, but his choices are not about bolster the service, but cutting it back. Other choices could be made: allowing and building out postal banking or recognizing a public service does not need to be profitable, as an example.

“The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that is the real trick of the Imperial thought machine. It's easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident”

Every day this line feels more and more relevant.

Finally got to start weaving this today and I am quite pleased with myself

A photo from above of a rainbow warp of cotton and cotolin threads on a table loom with a few inches woven. The design is a simple but pleasing 4-shaft repeating twill, the weft yarn is navy blue.

I DO watch his videos now and then, so I wonder if that’s what has kept my feed relatively clean over there
