McCalls Pikachu Plush 2512 Sewing Pattern

This thing has been out of print for like, 26 years and some of us want to make chubby classic pikachu so uh… I figure it’s okay to share bc it’s kinda hard to get your hands on the remaining physical copies.

Bonus points: Aelith made some embroidery/applique files for it too

this pattern is legit, i managed to get my hands on a physical copy a few years ago and made myself a Detective Pikachu. the only note i have is that the eye and nose placement on the pattern seems to be off. it didn’t seem to match the cover pic, so i just placed them where i thought they looked good (although i still didn’t get it perfect) otherwise it’s a great vintage chubbychu pattern!

Oh here’s another hot take that so many people my age hate. My husband is my best friend, I love spending all of my time with him when I can.

I have never once shared my location with that man and wouldn’t know how to if I wanted to which I don’t.

On the absolute opposite side of this spectrum we’ve had a joint bank account since we were 20 years old

Aren’t humans so odd and fascinating? I just love us. We all have little rituals and different ways of doing things in life that are all so strange and wonderful

No you were right the first time, this man has no idea where I am or where I live, his entire mission in life is to find me using clues I’ve left behind. Welcome to the hunt.

I’ll find her one day

You literally won’t but okay

sight I saw in san francisco, twice: gaggle of tiny children leashed together being herded along, everyone in hi-vis

lajali these fools walk by my work twice a day and are never less in awe of whatever pruning tools i’m using at the time. I’m always like yeah haha check these out. I’m an adult and my job is big scissors.ALT

this isn’t what i normally post here but firefox just switched ceos and this “anthony” dumbass is trying to put more “ai” slopware into it, meaning more bloat and privacy loss

Speaking of observed problems, Microsoft notes that the following dependent Shell components and related services may fail and report an on-screen error or silently fail to execute, such as the following:

  • Explorer.exe crash
  • shelhost.exe crash
  • StartMenuExperienceHost issues
  • System Settings silently fails to launch
  • Application crashes when initializing the XAML views
  • Explorer running but no taskbar window.
  • other XAML island views fail to initialize.
  • ImmersiveShell problems

Explorer.exe is the core of the Windows UI, which is pretty bad.

Microsoft recently admitted as much as 30% of their coding is done by AI now. Surely there’s no correlation??

Hey, long shot but does anyone in this thread have advice for getting my employer not to upgrade us all to win11 at the beginning of the year?

Your employer can contact Microsoft (or a Microsoft partner, like CDW) and purchase Win10 LTSC (Long Term Support Contract) licences that will keep Windows 10 patched & updated until 2032. Expect to pay between $200-$300 per license, depending on volume.

The wrinkle is you can’t update a regular pro/enterprise Win10 to LTSC. It’s gotta be a clean install, which means reinstalling all your software & files. But it works, is 100% safe, and highly recommended.

maybe i need to stop watching the m9 animated series. it’s not enough to be kinda ugly, they also gotta be needlessly grotesque and changing all the characters. idk. every ep is “they would not fucking say that.” it feels like it wants to punish me personally somehow.

Mulan AU where she does get caught by the other fresh recruits while she’s bathing but Mushu helps her spin it like the lake is cursed by an evil lizard demon and will turn men into women if they stay in it for too long.

From there it’s not actually difficult to get the other soldiers onboard with covering up the fact that poor Ping took one for the team and got afflicted by the vagina curse, especially since it would have been all of them if they hadn’t gotten the warning ahead of time. So they agree to help him cover it up, because obviously the army’s not going to understand.

Shang is… tentatively glad that the men are bonding and getting along, even if they continue to be deeply weird about it.

Ling: Hey man, what’s up— you’ve got boobs?!?!

Mulan: Uh, what boobs? Huh? Where did these come from?

Mushu: *facepalms and thinks quickly* (speaks from the shadows) I AM THE SPIRIT OF THE LAKE! BEWARE MY CURSED WATERS FOR THEY WILL TURN MEN INTO WOMEN!

Ling, Yao, and Chien Po: Oh no! The spirit of the cursed waters!

I love tumblr’s dedication to solving problems in the funniest way possible.

i paid my big giant hospital bill last week and was soo happy to have that done with, but then! today!!! i get a new bill! for $1000 more?? what! nO! we’re out of that window! it’s over a month later!! i already paid!

it turns out it’s for my kid and insurance has covered none of it so i suspect that insurance is at fault here and i gotta go chase them down and point to the fact that i put baby on our plan within the time limit so they’re supposed to cover them.
