TIL my sister-in-law loves cute stationary. So now the only question is, do I send her one massive box or a whole bunch of smaller parcels spread out over the next month?

One thing knitting gave me is a deeper appreciation for my store-bought clothes, too. As I learned more about fibers, textiles, garment construction, and more, I began to make more intentional purchases, mend (some) problems, and care more for my clothing. /1

Cishet dude QOTD: I guess I just didn't realize how much work you could be doing for your kids when you're just sitting there on your computer Relatedly, I'm currently very grateful that metal needles will not break even when subject to extreme pressure.

My washi tape keeps disappearing on me. It's like they know I need an excuse to get more.

Most violence against women (cis & trans) is from someone they know & have/had a relationship with which says it's not the lack of sex that's the problem. It's the misogyny. And I promise you teaching cis het men that women owe them sex is not going to end in peace. It never has

My reaction to Halloween: In real life: ugh people are gonna come to our door? In games: it's heeeeere! There's cute ghosties and bats and decorations and I need it all!!!

I love love love this idea. I've also talked to my kids about the idea of chosen family and how it works across generations too - my friends are their honorary aunts, my friend's (fur)kids are their cousins, etc.

I needed a single sock pattern (obviously the multitude I already own is irrelevant). Somehow this turned into a purchase of $49? I'm very confused, I don't remember the sock pattern being that much.

Hospital staff told me I don't have to pay, insurance will take care of it and I laughed and laughed. This is America, that translates to "we're not going to give you any information upfront, you're just going to get a super big surprise bill in the mail!" (we're all fine)

Kid's teacher sent an email to parents about school assignments etc and it's all written in second person ("by now you should have completed these assignments") and oof if that's not an energy.

@robandthread Rachy I must also give a MASSIVE shoutout to our major co-planners and contributors Solace.in.Stitches, Síle (she-la) 🫐 #WearAMask #BLM #StillTweeting, and AnnieBeeKnits!

I just realized what’s been poking me in the back of my brain from looking at all these new collections from young designers… It’s that no one tailors anymore. Lots of exceedingly simple shapes, usually in uninteresting fabrics, just kind of…thrown onto the body.

Oh good another #PokemonGo thing that's only accessible if you can be there in person at the right time. Just what I was wanting. (/sarcasm) Also, researching referencing silph co is a slap in the face so soon after the silph road went down.

Just 12 more days before Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit is released and we are doing perfectly fine, that fire is totally intentional, it's called "ambience". How about you scouts, are you ready? 🔥

6 days, 19hs, 42min and who knows how many seconds until Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit is out. We're all adults, we can totally wait that long. Surely.
