mutually unrequited dryad

Heraskevych’s choice to forfeit the medal chance instead of give up the memorial helmet is the biggest story in Ukraine today. Everyone is heartbroken but there is a unanimous consensus that this was what had to happen rather than to give up.

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

thank you!! and yeah, the Gotland was SO fuzzy as I spun it up -- I'd mostly been spinning with fibers like Corriedale and Merino, so shifting to the Gotland was a HUGE change

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

I honestly don't see a universe in which I am willing to pay a breeder for a ragdoll kitten as a buddy for Annabelle (someday), but good LORD it is so tempting

Two skeins of heathered grey handspun yarn

Three strands of heathered grey handspun yarn, held against fingers for scale. The strands are quite thin.

never shutting up about my ~320 yards of fingering weight two-ply Gotland handspun yarn ever again #knitting #handspun

I truly believe we lost something when mmpbs stopped being such a huge part of publishing!!! honestly I would love it if most books got a mmpb run first, and THEN went into hardcover or some other variant of special edition

Got hit with a sudden love for Saren, fanart from 2020 to 2025, 5 years and still more love to give for this old fool of a Turian #masseffect #Saren

If you are geekily inclined, ReedPOP (whose parent company is named as having connections to ICE) is also the event organizer behind all the PAX shows, Star Wars Celebration, NYCC, Chicago Comicon, and Emerald City Comicon; read this thread to see what action you can take to voice your opposition.

It could be really bad for Discord if Californians contact the office of the Attorney General to report the potential violations of CCPA and CALOPPA citing the recent breach from a few months back where 1.5tb of user data and millions of IDs were leaked, but who can say for sure?

The *only* response to this is all the other governors drop out.

time to be loud about this terrible decision.

Snowfall at Kamigamo Shrine in Kyoto This evocative photograph captures a serene winter scene at the Kamigamo Shrine, one of Kyoto’s oldest and most sacred Shinto sites. A Shinto priest, dressed in traditional white robes and vibrant purple hakama, walks away from the camera toward the shrine’s iconic bright vermilion gates while holding a classic oil-paper umbrella. Thick, "shimmering" snowflakes fall heavily, coating the intricate architectural details and the surrounding evergreen trees in a soft layer of white. The contrast between the brilliant red structure and the quiet, monochromatic snowfall creates a powerful sense of spiritual stillness and timelessness.

tiny little cowardly babies over at Discord -- I've sent in a support request too, saying the same thing, but does anyone know of an email that they DO read?

Let the backlash be swift and unrelenting

poor Milo! I hope he's recovered ❤

Annabelle did the same thing right after I got her, and she ended up with a very fetching necklace for a bit

I need to stop asking, "hey, I wonder what's inside" whenever I come across a cool bag in my apartment, because inevitably what is inside the bag is a finished knitting project that I have completely forgotten about

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

amazing how they BOTH manage to have the wrong end of the stick, simultaneously

the fun part about my dark fantasy sapphic romance is that one of the women involved thinks that MUNA's "Everything" is the song that describes their relationship, and the other woman thinks the song is "All There Is" by Tess Posner

not really? I definitely try, but at this point I'm just going to have to tell them to be quiet (firmly but politely!)

honestly I think one of the women is someone who CANNOT not talk; she's always just chattering away, regardless of what else is going on, and I wish I could ignore her but alas!

it's just so rude to the instructor to have these two just yakking away while they're trying to tell us something

I do like everyone in my hand spinning class, but good lord last night I was SO grumpy with two of the women in the class; like YES a lot of the class is just...all of us spinning and chatting, but when the instructor is speaking, SHUT UP, I am not paying to hear you two gossip!!!

9. My Darling Dreadful Thing by Johanna van Veem: this was...fine? not quite enough of anything to make me feel strongly about it: not horny enough, not gothic enough, not gross enough, not well-paced enough. some evocative moments, but ultimately this didn't quite land for me

while working in tech support as an undergrad, at the unveiling of my uni's ~tech supercenter~, I was introduced to a very big bluff man that all my coworkers were fawning over

I said hi politely, then excused myself to get a bagel

my coworkers were HORRIFIED I'd walked away from Steve Ballmer

it needs another run through the wheel to tighten up the plies a bit, but! I've spun my first fingering weight yarn!!

no idea of the yardage yet, but it's a very yummy two-ply spun from Gotland roving!

oh, that is PAINFUL just to hear about :( may the frogging/shortening go well (and quickly, and without too much frustration!)
