Just started a new-to-me ADHD med today after my old one has been out of stock for months. Holy cow I'd forgotten what it was like to be able to focus on a single task. 100/10.

When I lived in Fort Collins there was a big Bus Party to celebrate the new Bus Rapid Transit (VERY Fort Collins, iykyk). I got to ride the new BRT with Cracker guitarist Johnny Hickman. Let this also serve as a reminder that if you haven't listened to it lately, Low is still a banger.

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

Took a weaving class this weekend and got to weave some waffle weave on a 4-shaft loom for the first time. The teacher used a variegated yarn as the warp and I am OBSESSED. So sad the colorway she used is discontinued because I love it SO MUCH.

PRECIOUS BABIE

Just a quick reminder that if you're wanting to learn a new art/craft from a book you find online please please please research the author. While looking for some new books I found the one linked below. Immediately I knew it was sketchy because those aren't tablet-woven bands, they're pick-up. 1/

Trying Baltic-style pick-up. I did it a few years ago when I took a backstrap class but then never picked it up again. When I'm done this sampler, I think I'm going to try some with multi-colored pattern threads.

Looking for Kobo Plus authors 👀 If that is you, drop a link below ⬇️

A tuesday that masquerades as a monday is know as The Bastard's Tuesday, and it fucking sucks.

TODAY

Kurt Vonnegut man

You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

How can we be expected to thrive as a society when we just keep losing our cultural Norms?

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

A reminder if you happen to need it that, unless they've changed them, preconditions include having a BMI over 25, depression, and anxiety.

My IUD insertion was so painful I yelled and almost threw up. The midwife and nurse both treated me like I was being dramatic. Turns out it hurt so much because they shoved it right on through my uterus wall. Didn't find out until 4 years later that a piece of plastic was just chilling in my abdomen

I fully and unwaveringly believe that the impulse to take a well-stylized design and make it "realistic" is one of the ugliest and most pointless you can indulge.

If nothing else, make this clear in your comment: INSECTS need a healthy environment, or else they die. We manage to lose the world's insects, we are finished as a species. There is no tech Elon Musk can drop that would pollinate all the world's crops before we all starved to death.

Remember when she funded an anti trans bill, then when it passed, posted a picture of herself with wine and cigars and bragged ‘I love it when a plan comes together?’ That is literally where that money for these games go. Buying her trash, funds anti LGBTQ+ laws.

Y'all.

We're at the point now where just searching "gemini" doesn't show you the account - gotta search "gemini.botsky". Then block that shit HARD.

Murderbot tonight at 9 pm Eastern! That is all

There's so much bad news in the world. So, here's some wrapping paper designed by Japanese artist Ippei Tsujio that turns everything into bread. A delightful (delicious?) distraction. More info: spoon-tamago.com/bread-wrappi...
