Do not buy books from Dark Owl Publishing! The owner and operator is Andrea Dawn, a known white supremacist, who is currently on threads talking about plowing cars into protesters.

Democracies do not mobilize their military against their own people. Authoritarian states do. This is a war-footing escalation, intended to assert control. Massive violation of 🚨 civil liberties and🚨rule of law.

We're reaching the time of year when I one again go looking for patterns so I can knit Annie some pajamas that aren't too hard to get on her. Maybe I should just see if an old flannel works.

Today has turned out to be a part-mitigated shitshow, a definite improvement from unmitigated. Planning an event for this weekend. After 3.5hrs of sorting out a spreadsheet of deployment orders last night a co-planner leant back in their chair and said "I'm feeling good about this now"

Here we go. I don't have much to say about this one to encourage you to read, and the title will turn many of you away - and maybe it should - but I don't know what I would do with myself if I didn't get this one out:

Exciting and practical house designs coming out of Scandinavia

Typing persimmons instead of permissions is definitely not going to confuse anybody when talking about file access.

I didn't intend to be a RTs account but here we are. It's a case of bantering elsewhere mostly these days. I've been quite an enjoyer of the cooler weather this week, finally getting to wear some knits.

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

I learned to stop saying that things couldn't possibly get any worse in the new year because every year since 2016 has gotten progressively worse. 2025 is no exception.

The Papal conclave is expected to start between the 6th and 12th of May. Eurovision is between the 13th and 17th of May. Social media is about to get very confusing.

Mom, I do not want to get in the water. Wait. No. I do not want to get out of the water, Mom!

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Writing cover letter after cover letter in the pursuit of starting to work in my newly-trained industry. I refuse to use AI; this stance is frustrating when it's probably to my detriment. If I was to use it, then the letter wouldn't be indicative of my personality, I don't outsource my work to LLM.

YOU GUYS.

Gary Oldman crying at farts being dubbed into some of his his movie roles. Farts are always funny…

The last fortnight has been a super duper lot and choosing to hibernate for 2 days to help bring the exhaustion levels down is a great idea. I'm also behind on Sock Madness so having a little solo project is a good timepass.

pretty much what i have been saying as an #EV owner for the past 9 years! Range anxiety is for NON EV owners, and charging is not an inconvenience, but just requires a small mindset change. www.carsguide.com.au/car-news/you...

Just landed in Townsville to serve in the flood IMT. My flight got in, the ones before and after were diverted or cancelled. 2 rounds of applause through the cabin once we'd landed.

break every rule, knit straight from the bobbin, sow chaos 🧶

On this, or any other day, surely this is a much better Australian flag?

When I'm at a cafe I become the quiet guardian of dogs who are nearby. If their humans step away I will insist on staying put until they come back. I remember which humans belong to what dogs. Have absolutely no ability to do that for kids with grown-ups though.

The US enters another dark phase of political life. In Australia, we have the opportunity this year to ensure we don’t go the same way. A ‘protest vote’ to ‘give the other side a go’ (emboldened due to US politics) will hurt us as a nation far quicker and much deeper. #NeverDutton #auspol

During our fortnightly video chat my Best Woman threw a large and wild idea out there and its all I've been able to think about since. Will need so much planning and money but damn do I want to do it with a few of my favourites.

While I get better at remembering to post here instead of just in my 5 or 6 regular Discord servers here's a #BougieBlanketMAL update. 5 rows done and a handful more gems.

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

A scorcher in SEQ today, how hot? - 3 loads of washing hung out and dry before 13:30, - not letting the almost 9yo dog be outside for longer than 5-10min even in the shade - okay fine, 37°C and feeling (every part) like 43°

I don’t want to make a fuckin account to use my toaster. I don’t want to fuckin subscribe to software. I don’t want to create a fuckin profile to watch TV. I don’t want to fuckin register my whatever to unlock whatever. I don’t want to download a fuckin app to access anything. Death to new logins

Cord Jefferson, quitting Instagram, sums many things up: “I don’t need Instagram to be a haven for free speech for the same reason I don’t need a Jamba Juice or a Hooters to be a haven for free speech.”

The #bougieblanketmal I've started is looking like something. I'm just not 100% sure it doesn't look like something else. Especially since there's a bunch of variegated and semi-solid yarns in the pile. Pattern is Little Gemstones but I've rewritten the gems to be larger.

Hey Liv. I have questions. I just wanna talk. Meet me outside.

On the left, my image. On the right, the Al image that was clearly trained on, and designed to plagiarize, my image. All Al generated imagery is inherently theft. It's unethical, environmentally disastrous, and does irreparable harm to both artists and society.

I am in this picture and I don't like it.

the feds: stop trying to turn this guy into some cool antihero with a badass public image also the feds: *treat him like they’ve captured the joker*

The advertising from ABC News Daily worked and I listened to the current season of Expanse and enjoyed that immensely. Get into it if you like human interest stories. I'm still wracking my brain to think of who the Pennisi was that I knew when I lived in Mackay. pca.st/episode/e80e...

The answer to “why doesn’t America have [insert social program every other Western nation has]” is always racism. After they could no longer legally exclude Black people from receiving them, they nuked them altogether.

Tackling the piles on top of and near the filing cabinet today. Going through for the initial sort and shred to happen upon cash and gift cards. Looks like filing can pay as well as neatening up a space.

A lot of 'neurodiversity-lite' initiatives speak about the strengths of ADHD and autism. They don't cover though how that is often a negative for the person when they demonstrate that ability within the company. e.g. Pattern seeking often means seeing company values aren't honoured. 1/

Trying to get access to a backup gmail account and it's a bit of a snafu with the former contact pulling their email details and my phone details not working. We have 1 last method to try for recovery. Looking at the documentation, if we strike out we're screwed. Thanks Google, so helpful :/
