Okay, no more grumping about weird knitting stuff. Have cool knitting stuff. Been down the Ravelry-hole again and found too many patterns which I will surely never have time in my life to complete all of them. Links below to their Ravelry pages
fantasy elf lore can never be fucking normal its always gotta be some bullshit like “Oh, No, We Don’t Urinate Like You Filthy Humans, That’s Much Too Uncouth. Instead We Sprout A Single Beautiful Golden Hair From The Very Tippy-Top Of Our Heads And Every Year Upon The First Bloom Of The Mystic Orchard Lilies We Pluck Them And Give Them To The Grand Witch Elder Grethelwed And She Weaves Them Into A Beautiful Golden Basket Into Which The Only Fully Elven Child Of That Year Shall Be Born And Swaddled In Silk” like fuck off man
For a while now, I’ve been chipping away at redesigning things from Stardew Valley in the style and general design conventions of Minecraft! Here’s everything I have so far:
Crab pot, Iridium, Radioactive Ore, Cinder Shards, Fire Quartz & Refined Quartz, Aquamarine, Topaz, Jade, Ruby, Esperite, Marble, Soapstone, Limestone, Lunarite, Malachite, Petrified Slime, Opal, and Fire Opal!
There are some things here I’m not 100% happy with and will probably be going back to tweak in the future, but this is the current progress, and I’m really proud of it so far! I’m hoping I’ll be able to turn this into an actual mod one day when I’ve learned how to code.
Not only did my fried rice panel take off in a way I wasn’t expecting but my POST about the fried rice panel also took off in a way I wasn’t expecting please let me rest
Can I still fry the rice if it’s less than 18 years old?
My workplace has come a long way when it comes to trans and queer issues on the job. I’m really grateful that it’s standard to have a Chosen Name that’s used on work documents and that once when someone changed my pronouns from They to She in an article about me, they called a whole meeting to educate folks on why not to do that.
But I am tired of getting invited to all these Women Only baby showers.
For a million reasons I need us to divorce the concepts of womanhood and pregnancy. It’s vital to women’s rights and trans rights. I have spent years hounded by assumptions about my body and questions from family about When Will I Have Babies. This is one of the primary reasons I don’t identify with Womanhood. Pregnancy and motherhood are not fundamental to every female person’s life and identity. It is so blatantly sexist to make childbirth and childrearing the exclusive purview of women.
While I was writing this post in line at the grocery store a young dad rolled by with his toddler in a shopping cart, and she was screaming and crying about wanting to buy one of the decorative balloons in the bakery. And he was gently consoling her, “yes I know sweetie it makes me sad too that we can’t get a balloon.” I told him he was being very patient and he laughed and said “you gotta be!” Give dads some credit and expectations!!!!
So, last year I had hoped to kick off an embroidery journal, but was too depressed fo keep it up.
I still like the idea of a year-long themed crafting project, and with the goal of having a Christmas tree in the house for 2026, that means we’ll need some ornaments!
So, I decided on the Twelve Days in twelve months challenge. Just finished the pear and partridge, aside from the hanging loops.
