This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.

The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Latest pet hate: the word 'iconic'.
Do these folks on social media know what it means, or is it just another attempt to garner attention via hyperbole?

Continuing work on Cthulhu. Flaming crown halo in copper thread. More work on surrounding vines and flames, and grey hints of ruins below...

To people quacking the trendy phrase "sitting is the new smoking": no it bloody well isn't. Sloppy metaphors both indicate and lead to sloppy thinking.

A couple of hours of progress on Cthulhu. Slow going, but I'm enjoying this. Not working to a planned design. I guess this is a sort of weird sampler. =D

Work in progress. Vaguely Cthulhu: freehand embroidery with cotton floss on a linen background. Mostly very tight couching stitches and split stitches.

Ugh.

'Ultimate' does not mean 'best'.

I think I'm finished with my Chaac embroidery.

Progress on Chaac.
Almost done maybe. Still feeling my way through this. Don't want to over-work it.
August 13, 2025 at 7:56 PM
More progress on Chaac.

Followup: work in progress Chaac.

Happy day after Canada Day.

Embroidery work in progress of the Mayan deity Chaac. Colours aren't strictly traditional, I guess, but I'm not too fussed about that.

Work done. Hand-sewn holder for chef knife. Interior denim; exterior hand embroidered jacquard; linen ties. It took a while, but I'm chuffed with how well it turned out.
