Too Late For Me. Now I'm Praying The Embroidery Hyperfixation Comes Back In Time For Me To Finish This

Congratulations, you are now a nest

One thing that I think Facebook and YouTube do better than Tumblr is giving people the ability to opt out of specific ads.

Especially being able to tell them that the reason you don't want to see that ad is because it's not relevant to you.

I don't mind a reasonable number of ads in exchange for a free service, but the ones here on Tumblr are so horrifically misaimed and there's no way to tell them that.

Thinking about experimenting with knitting using different size needles in one project.

Something like casting on to the recommended size needle, and using a two- or three-sizes larger needle for the other direction.

Has anybody tried something like this?

This man is an actual wizard doing actual magic.

staples?! he made a basket with staples?!

Current knitting: a simple garter stitch scarf, using fuzzy yarn from Dollar Tree. I'm working in random colors, with two strands together. The goal is warmth and softness rather than beauty.

Current reading: "Area X" by Jeff Vandermeer. This is the omnibus edition of the Southern Reach trilogy. I finished the first book, and honestly, I'm not sure I'd keep going if the second book wasn't in the same volume. It's not bad, but it's a very different writing style than I usually read.

Just finished reading a Zeetha-focused AU that was simultaneously one of the best fics I've read in ages, and one of the most frustrating.

The basic change point was a good one, the changes that would follow from it were well thought out, the peeks into Zeetha's head fit with both who she is in canon and the version of her in this AU. But...

The whole thing (more than 216000 words in three stories) was riddled with the sort of grammar errors you get when you trust your spell check too much. To/too/two mixed up, "there" when it should have been "their", and so on.

I'm only a grammar purist when I'm professionally required to be, but the mistakes in this one were significant enough to be a distraction from the story. Which is a shame, because like I said, the STORY was really good.

It was like trying to walk a trail through beautiful scenery, but not being able to relax and enjoy the beauty because you keep stubbing your toe on roots and rocks sticking up in the middle of the path.

My absolute favorite outfit from the 2025 Met Gala, because of its sheer cleverness.

I need to show this to my kid

You know what would be cool? A story about a mideval Strong Rebellious Warrior Woman... who actually enjoys sewing and embroidery. Like, yes she dreams of riding horses through the fields and swinging a sword, but is also looking forward to returning home after a long day of fighting to finish that really cool lapel piece shes been working on all month.

Not that I think it's particularly likely anyone will want to...

bring back tumblr ask culture let me. bother you with questions and statements
