Someone asked me why HTD Tenna is "supposedly" listed as being venomous and how he figured out that he was.

It was an eventful night.

never forget when saruman literally told gandalf "you've been smoking too much weed bro"

"You're smoking too much weed," says the guy who got addicted to manosphere podcasts on his orb and started a fascist militia with a side hobby of deliberate environmental destruction. Started cutting down trees to own the woke elves.

TDF day -1: results

Here's all the yarns I made! From left to right (/bottom up):

1 - Finnsheep/Alpaca roving 100g/390m. I bought this last year at a tiny spinnery. It's a lovely natural colour - light brown/beige with reddish undertones

The fibre mix was something I never had before and I was a bit sceptical at first because Alpaca and I have never been friends but spinning this was lovely. I just love making woollen yarns. It's unbelievably soft and fluffy, but still has structure and a bit of a rustic feel to it. Hard to describe, I wish y'all could touch it.

2 - Polwarth combed top "summer solstice", fractal spin, 390m/100g

3 - Polwarth combed top "autumn equinox", 420m/100g. This yarn is my favourite 💚

4 - Polwarth combed top "spring equinox", 460m/100g

5 - Corriedale combed top, undyed, 390m/120g - this had surprisingly short staple length for a combed top and for Corriedale. I find that's often the case for naturally coloured wool. This was my least favourite to spin.

The Polwarth is all from @littlebirdinagarden's mystery boxes from last year. All in all I spun about 2030m, which is not bad but less than I know I can do in 3 weeks. I had to go away with my nephew during week 2; I took a drop spindle and I did spin every day, but my output with one of these is ridiculous. Hence, the somewhat mediocre result.

However, I did manage to reach my goals - spin the Polwarth and spin every day - so I'm still happy with the outcome! My first completed TDF. The secret is having fun things to work on.

I regret* to inform you that I took all this beautiful yarn and made something very silly

*lie

Now you might ask. When are you ever going to wear a biblically accurate tunic thing? To which I reply. Must clothing be wearable. Is it not enough for it to be fun to make and have eye motifs.

PSA: new type of bots plaguing AO3’s comments section.

as obvious as it is that these are all bots/scam, I believe there are still people who believe they are legit and fall victims to these trolls. so if you get a comment like these, don’t panic, don’t delete your works. they are all bots. you’re fine.

Everyone will not just

If your solution to some problem relies on “If everyone would just…” then you do not have a solution. Everyone is not going to just. At not time in the history of the universe has everyone just, and they’re not going to start now.
