Lefty linguist plus other stuff. 🏳️‍🌈 I crochet a lot, knit a little, and talk about yarn. I love to pet cats. Sometimes I have purple hair and complain. Realistic but not into doomerism.
My goal is for my house to be like this, and by "this" I mean nothing like this but hilarious and weird and maybe a little Henry Darger-esque but less sad

OK I'm interested in getting into 🧶 needlework etc but while I'm fully about enjoying the process I need to do something with the final product, what do you do besides hang it on the wall or make a pillow, I need to know

I made 🧶 a hat for my sister but then I hated how stiff it turned out, so the day she came over to get it, I ripped it all out and made a different one which is a lovely thing about crochet

I did enjoy the herringbone stitch

I went over to threads for a second and was excited by how big and active the fiber arts community was

And then I was also immediately annoyed by how...Twitter everyone was acting

Why is this? Does the algorithm drive more randos to pop up on posts uninvited? Bluesky can be a downer but blechhhh

You can lie about crime in cities to people who never go to the city and you can lie about whether your stormtroopers are arresting only criminals but you can’t lie about the economy when prices are high, wages are low, and people can’t find work.

One of my sisters has kids around the same age as mine, and so when I'm shopping for presents, I'll think wow, that gift looks loud, annoying, and destructive...so yeah, I'll definitely get it

I saw a thread of die-hards standing up for Chomsky after the Epstein photo dump, being all "let's consider all the amazing stuff he's written"

And I'm so serious, I completely forgot about his political writings, I'm over here thinking, "Wow, there are a lot more syntacticians here than I thought"

Yeah identify yourselves, and then we can hang out?? cause that sounds rad as hell
i am once again asking who the "leftist extremists in the faculty lounge" shaping democratic party priorities are, and what policies it is that they are instituting

WAYS TO CELEBRATE

- WATCH THE VIDEO (OBVS)
- THROW A SHOE AT A MENACE
- DISRUPT THE SYSTEM IN A RIDICULOUS WAY

Enough energy to want to work

Not enough to find my laptop charger

Also every year I laugh at all the "masculine gift lists" but then every year I end up looking at them because I have a father who despite having 4 daughters is, hmm, a bit "masculine gift list"

I ordered a gift from lowes, and I thought it was going to be shipped to my house, but it was delivery

Like very chill on my porch

Oh I LOVE IT
And the results are in! After carefully reviewing the results of a national poll the Board of Directors of the Society for Canadian English (SCE) has determined that this year’s Canadian Word of the Year (CWOTY), the first of its kind, will be “maplewashing.”

I am so desperately sad for my country because truly, I do love the country itself and it makes me all the more angry
I cannot overemphasize how much you should NOT travel to the USA for any reason until further notice. Yes YOU, normie who thinks the leopards will avoid your face. You, literally anyone outside the country reading this.
From the US Embassy in London today.

My nephew has gone from being a flight-risk to, yes ok, he does elope but he might just drive the toy jeep down the road to watch the neighbors dogs and slips back in the house before we realize, but he abandons the toy jeep and it's very heavy, so my sister has to drive it back a block herself

Good news though, results were clear for all the nastiest possibilities !!
Getting my ARFID-kid to drink the stuff to prep for a full endoscope etc. Has been a journey.

Understandably, predictably, he does not like it. Does not want to drink it. And as always, I underestimate how much effort and time everything will take

I can just hope he drank enough of it

Wow, all these denials and tearful "if only I had known"s, guess Epstein trafficked girls to...no one, and they all just hung out on pedophile island for normal bro reasons

I ordered a new bag, it's beautiful I love it

But it has a built in purse organizer which makes it harder to stuff my weird shit in there, trying to decide if it's a deal breaker

My son's best friend is having a small bday party at a CAT CAFE but the invitation makes it clear it is a *drop off* not a *parents welcome* and I'm furious I don't get to see a bunch of 11 year old boys frolic with cats and also pet the cats
