Fiber arts. SoCal. Social justice. Snark.
Blocking can only help (a bit), if you used natural fibers like wool or cotton. I can’t tell from your photo or post if you used acrylic yarn, which will not block.
I echo the advice about a border to make the outside edge more uniform.
Good luck with it! It’s a gorgeous pattern!
I saw an ADHD influencer recommend wearing ear plugs in public to block out environmental noise to keep conversation directed at you still audible.
I get distracted in public when my ears pick up conversation around me - especially people who are fighting or gossiping and I find it very entertaining compared to the discussion I’m in - so this is something I’d like to try the next time I have a dinner out at a busy restaurant with others.
Editing to add: I just listened to about a minute of the femtanyl song you linked and I realized that I also get in the zone productive with some types of music in which I can’t understand the lyrics. I listen to a Pandora station built around Sigur Ros because I can’t understand the language lol
If you pick up this book, I highly recommend another book written by the same author - Michael Ende - called Momo.
The fantasy parts of the NES sometimes feel like allegory but mostly feel like folly. But Momo is ostensibly an allegory from the beginning. It also feels like waking up your inner child.
The parts of the NES that were not adapted into the films are absolutely whimsical and amazing. It’s a true wonder why some details were used in the film and not others. It’s a lot of fun!
Just like a big brother to put his butt in the little brother’s face lol
I liked the episode!
But I was going into it with expectations that it was going to be kind of mid like the first season of Disenchanted. I was very pleasantly surprised that there was like a legitimate plot line, even though it was kind of silly. It seem like the same level of incredulous shenanigans that Futurama has always gotten itself into.
They’re catering to the fact that their core audience is getting older and harder to understand fast-paced speech lolol (said by one of those people who is starting to get old)
What is it about this photo that makes me look at this cat’s face and instantly know it is indeed a bullshitter?
There is a single user who is posting dozens of times a day in my magazine (for which I am a moderator). Another mod on my team has raised the alarm about the user, like surely they’re going through a personal crisis to be so terminally online and posting so frequently.
I’m realizing now they might be a bot. The sources of articles are varied, and quality of article is like 30/70 serious/bullshit. The user occasionally comments on the submissions and I’m realizing the comments are generic rabble rousing instead of being complex language or referencing complex details from the articles shared.
Could anyone speak more to how to identify bot accounts? Many thanks!
This looks so great!! I’m glad you went for the blocking and can now confidently give it to your Godchild. They’ll love it!
