if you were pure of heart you were able to see visions of it early

Happy belated birthday! We're standing ankle-deep in the pool at Reboot, because it's too cold for a proper swim. But The sun is so bright, that it would be a shame not to at least dip your feet in.

I've got a question about blocking because I was horribly traumatized by it... What kind of swatch do you knit for strandes color work for a test block? A piece of the chart or something simpler?

Wow this sweater looks incredible but also this technique is so smart??? Maybe you should do an explainer video for it

Designing alien fruits is a fool's errand when you can buy this at the shop.

The thing about pomegranates is, that they really look like that.

oh I didn't know they check for that! It *is* interesting. I'm just so tired of people going "neurotypical people don't [incredibly common and broad thing]"

??? I'm pretty sure neurotypical people make lists. To do lists are very common, as are lists for groceries or favorite movies, for example.
I guess there can be a tendency to classify and systematize a lot more with neurodivergent people, but I can't imagine it's either-or.

woah wasps aren't protected in the Netherlands? Or did the nest get moved also?

It's all awful enough when the US secret police can murder people in broad daylight, but when public news straight up lies about it, it's dire. Watch out for extremely misleading framings, and fuck those cowards calling themselves journalists.

lmaooooooo transparentes Framing geht eigentlich nicht mehr. Absolute beschissene Arbeit.

Der Artikel selbst wird auch nur schlimmer. Ich rede hier nicht so oft รผber aktuelle Geschehnisse, aber vielleicht bewirkt das, dass sich auch nur eine Person etwas besser informiert statt Tagesschau zu lesen. Das wรคre schon gut.

Tagesschau muss ich einfach endgรผltig in die Tonne kloppen, "Seit Tagen geht die US-Behรถrde ICE in Minneapolis mit Hรคrte gegen mutmaรŸlich illegale Immigranten vor" und "rabiates Vorgehen", my ass. Dreisteres framing geht einfach nicht mehr.
