WWWhisperer take on the green bros knitting controversy.

never thought i'd see so many knitters peeved off.

This is an excuse to further militarize public life in the US.

So glad I GTFO. So lucky.

I feel for everyone stranded there.

we have a policy with bcaa and it was covered, i hope you get moved into a more comfortable suite for the interim. don't feel like you have to pick the cheapest place either, a 4 star place should be covered!

this happened to us and our insurance put us up in a hotel until our shit came. do you have insurance for your new place? maybe give them a call? then the insurance company can harass the movers to prioritize getting your stuff to you.

that sploot is adorable

okay, was just trying to be helpful. didn't deserve that abrupt / rude response.

I would find that so draining. good for you!

hello and welcome to all 19M of you! 🥳

you can now get ch4t gpt to convert a recording of a meeting into minutes! it's fantastic! i use it for my union local's meetings

holy crow that's a lot of meetings. i barely tolerate my teams huddles 😂

well well. hello everyone. nice to see bluesky getting 1M new uses daily!

Looks like bluesky hasn't hit the critical mass it needed. Most of the people I followed here have stopped posting.

This is why not just "mare ears" but the "fuck off face toss" is necessary.

I have four of my mini orchids spiking right now. I think one is light purple with yellow centre, one is yellow with pink centre, but I don't know what the other two will be.
I know I have an all white one I hope is in the mix, that would be the first rebloom since I bought it last year.

I've always had a preference fir patterns that make the most of noro colour transitions

After the rants of musk on xitter, i'm beginning to judge the people who have not yet deleted their profiles on that platform.

Of course it was charles. It was probably his idea of a joke. Camilla probably laughed. Remember tampon gate?

The two were also cackling away at a performance of inuit throat singing recently in canada. Very disrespectful.

Ha. I've had experience with a couple queer communes over the decades. They always start out awesome, then deteriorate. My recommendation is start one then peace out after 6 months! Never buy property jointly 😂🫠

The interesting thing for me is open ai was non-profit, with a specific mission statement that was not for profit.

It seems this drama is the shift away from non-profit. This could very well be a turning point.

Confession: I like to stalk real estate listings and watch the denial flake off like lead paint as the listing price is reduced again and again...

It's even starting to happen in major cities like new york and toronto.

Not so much LA or san francisco yet, but my watch continues 🦉

I ended up buying a really cute beanie off facebook marketplace. Never thought I wouldn't have time to knit a hat, what is my life!?

Sidenote, when did MEC start having only $60-80 hats!?

I noticed a wild disparity un their styles too. In the 90s, low energy kid would be "goth" and their friends "jocks" in their manner / build / clothing. In the 90s, these attributes created oppositional cliques.

Not anymore. Their language to each other was so kind. ❤️

I really appreciate how young people are talking to each other. I overhear quite a bit on the bus and at the university.

"Hey, I'm going to sit by myself, I'm low energy and you guys are so high energy in the mornings."

"That is valid! We love you, enjoy your eggs."

On another topic, I'm struck with the persistent impulse to knit myself the one skein beanie from stitch n bitch. Returning to my knitting roots.

I need a hat.

I have an all white mini that should be due for blooming soon, but hasn't shown signs yet. In addition, there are 5 or 6 mystery mini phals I bought for $5 after they had finished blooming, so I have no idea what they look like. That's always exciting!

My full size yellow phal finished blooming today, deflating gracefully overnight. I snipped the spike and then examined my dormant orchids for signs of spikes - found one!

I think this is a 4-year old mini with yellow blooms and pink centres. It's been a very reliable variety.

This mini is nearly finished after sequentially blooming since May. She's new to my collection so I'll have to label her and time the bloom cycle.

I think I have enough phals in my collection that I have year-round blooms. This beauty I got for $16 at a grocery store and it blooms *constantly*. It stopped blooming after 3 years only bc it needed a repot. Threw a spike immediately after.

I'm really sorry. I deal with migraines too.

Have you tried soaking your feet in as warm as you can tolerate water? It helps some folks.
