Is it normal to smell the mustard though

Metal comb for picking burs. I get stabbed less overall. Preserving long hairs is not my priority.

I was going to pop over and add it to my wish list but if Stefan Rudnicki is reading I'll just buy it now

please I need my audiobook to smell like formaldehyde they can just ship a little bottle for me to sniff

This is how you sell a book! Virtual somersaults! brb gotta visit libro.fm

This is so fun! Do you pick the colors based on the covers or your impressions of the book (or something else)?

Isn't there a miniature travel version that's a bit cheaper?

Mammalian cells? Did I miss something?

I love bookshop and Libro! No trouble, easy to use (except for the one time my books were shipped in a box filled with ants but I will consider that a freak accident)

My brain says "oh good that means I'm Not Like Other Fans" and I have to swat it with a rolled up newspaper.

I'm moving tomorrow so I'm cleaning today and not only is the house still not clean, but my stuff keeps expanding and expanding and there's no way it's all going to fit in my car

Are thy counting the time it takes to eat the hotdog

The Dragon and the George

eating candy off the floor >>> eating candy on the floor

the thrill is half the fun

Better use the programming suggestion form, then

Read that as bread bracelets and got way too excited, then confused, then finally disappointed.

The clues were there all along

I've known about horse breeding for as long as I can remember so we skipped most of it, but my mom definitely sat me down and told me about the importance of using protection at one point.

"Piss terrorist" is such a good term for this sort of cat, thank you!

For manga I'd say The Key to the Kingdom, if you can still get it. I found it in a random box of free manga and it was surprisingly moving.

For anime, Anohana. Plenty of grief! I cried for hours.

I was terrible about talking to my PhD advisor when I was having trouble, but it always fixed everything. Staying up all night to meet a deadline? Why not... move the deadline? Groundbreaking.

You might end up being co-advised if it's the right kind of overlap. They can help you figure it out.

White scarf with blue overshot pattern "periwinkle". Pattern is slightly different on each side. I got fancy and added a little edge detail with the blue yarn before the white fringe. Fringe is chunky because I hate twisting fringe so I did it in big groups.

Close up of overshot pattern, blue pattern yarn on white tabby. It's supposed to look like flowers but I only really see diamonds.

I wove this while visiting home to pull myself out of a doom spiral. White 10/2 cotton and hand-dyed blue merino wool.

Sounds like you need to find a Master Gardener who can wander around your yard and make pronouncements

Is he hoping to be Lord Humungus in this scenario?

Three scarves made from the same warp (one is too short to be a proper scarf but it's the thought that counts). Shadow weave patterns made from alternating teal and light green yarn. The short one has light green replaced with pink in the weft for a more purple impression.

Wavy woven pattern made from alternating teal and light green yarn. The differences in structure through the pattern make for interesting regions of tighter and looser weave.

Wavy woven pattern made from alternating teal and light green yarn. The differences in structure through the pattern make for interesting regions of tighter and looser weave. This one is quite a bit simpler than the first one and produced a simpler wave pattern.

The same warp with a different (pink) weft and different treadling pattern makes for a bit of a zig zag. This was the remainder of the warp and I was sick of teal and green and tired of complicated treadling.

Made these! 5/2 cotton. It's my first time trying shadow weave.

Woven band with a butterfree-inspired design

Butterfree?

Two woven table runners with repeating rectangular designs made with white or blueish wool on the same green, pink, yellow and brown warp.

Woven table runner with green, pink, brown and yellow warp with white wool pattern weft woven into repeating rectangles

Woven table runner with green, pink, brown and yellow warp with blue/green/purple wool pattern weft woven into repeating rectangles

Glamor shot of blue wool table runner close enough to see individual picks and my amateurish selvedges.

I made these! 5/2 cotton + rayon with pattern in white handspun wool somebody gave me and green/blue/purple wool somebody else gave me

Buttered noodles, no. Mayo sandwiches (+/- tomato), yes.

Every time I see a picture of this Dubious Bald Man I suspect I stood directly behind him at a Sisters of Mercy show last year but it was dark and I wasn't sure at the time so I didn't ask. Alas.
