I haven’t blocked someone for asking folks to not use a word before.

Usually when someone is saying “please don’t use a word I find it offensive”, it’s something that I didn’t have history with, and i see if it’s something I can adjust in my speech.

let’s be totally real, some people are […]

Minor update: the other kid wants one now

I think I’m going to use it as an excuse to learn how to do lettering, put his name all big on it

A crocheted tote bag in sage, blue and yellow with a square checkered pattern, resting on a wooden table. The bag features a handle and has a yellow base.

Here’s a better picture of the finished #crochet tote

A young child sitting on a brown leather couch, cuddling a colorful crocheted bag featuring blue and yellow patterns. The child is lost in thought, sucking on a finger. Another child's foot can be seen in the background.

Project update: complete. Kiddo loves it. Puts all his toys in it and then cuddles with it in the couch.

I love it when critics say things like "Once the exhibition closes, expect the art to be snapped up by excited collectors purely because of who made it, rather than for any innate artistic merit that the original concepts might once have contained."

It's obviously an intentional usage of a […]

“Crocheted tote bag in progress - just needs handles (cat for scale)“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Further progress has been made. The body is done, all that’s left is the handles.

Rainy Sunday morning.

Quiet kids show on TV for the littler one.

Mario Odyssey for the older one.

Wife and I are listening to the same audiobook (Bands of Mourning, her first time, I’m relistening so we can discuss)

I have my crochet.

I finally get the appeal of weekends.

Progress has been made. #crochet.

I’m not the biggest fan of the stitch work, but hey it’s my first time with three different colors and this style of round. Don’t even know what the name of this pattern is; 3 dc to a gap, ch 3 and skip the last rows stitches […]

Yep. Got 800 words written in the last hour.

Boo yah.

#WritingMonth

Yesterday was another zero word day for #WritingMonth

Today will be different, hopefully.

I see the appeal of floating colors, though. Cutting things off only to join back up to it later is a pain, I guess it’s all trade offs. And I don’t even know how I’d do this if I ever needed to change colors out of a round/row boundary.

First time doing floating yarn in #crochet. So far…so good?

Gosh I can imagine doing more than three colors.

Neighbor, seeing I'm taking my car apart with a multitool: I have some tools you can borrow if you need.
Me, kicking my tool box: Yeah, me too, no worries.
Him: Then why are you using that?
Me, finished: Because I'm finished already.

The only thing I regret about not being rich is not being able to put my money where my mouth is.

If I had a billion dollars, I'd pull shit like "If you publicly denounce this shit I will gift 100,000 users your service for a year."

@firebreathingduck I’ll toss my hat into the ring: actively denouncing Eich, regardless of whether or not the Brave partnership stays active, will convince me to pay for kagi.

Hi Kagi,
I've been a paying customer for over a year and I'm happy with the product. But biggest thing stopping me from recommending Kagi to others is the Brave partnership. https://kagifeedback.org/d/2808-reconsider-your-partnership-with-brave

I ask you to at least issue a statement denouncing […]

Ended up with zero words written for #WritingMonth yesterday. That obviously means I need to write 3000 words today.

My wife just said "I really wish someone had made that channel before you bought all that yarn" and this is why I need to make the channel.

Maybe one more video in each series:

"So you want to make money doing [HOBBY]."

It'll be a fifteen second video of me staring silently into your soul, and then saying "Don't do that" followed by a tour of my "failed hobby monetization" bins.

I'll have a follow up to every video.

"How to level up from beginner to intermediate in [HOBBY] in fifteen minutes."

The videos will be fifteen minutes of me saying the word "practice" softly and gently to a (snare-free) lo-fi beat, a sort of ASMR pomodoro timer.

I want to make a youtube channel. Or a peertube channel. Both.

This channel will have a bunch of videos for getting started and doing a new hobby. Crochet, bookbinding, sewing, ham radio, etc.

Every video will be exactly the same video. It will just be:

1. Don't buy too much stuff. Use what […]

@b4ux1t3 CSPAN it is!

Kid 1 just broke my heart.

Flicking through stuff to find something to watch during snack time. (The first person who @'s me about screen time gets blocked)

"Look, it's pokemon! You could watch this, you like pokemon!"

"No, I don't like pokemon any more, because I'm a grown up."

I don't often recommend people watch YouTube videos on here.

@jordan We are the same kind of freak. I thought I was alone.

You say FIPS, I say that's not my problem.

I have come to the conclusion that the problem with my company’s IT department is that they don’t employ a single furry.

I literally know people on here who would run circles around our entire team and do it in a fursuit.

[Uspol, democrats suck]

But thank god the democrat won my state.

Our new book is out today! @andycomics.bsky.social

Out power and internet are both out again.

And, yet again, the source is the house that's being built across the street.

I am not a very litigious person. Really. But at this point I'm considering suing and taking the house, then just letting someone move in for the cost of the property tax […]
