Someone's Trying To Follow Me And My Mom Home, Jesus Christ This Is Terrifying

A New Hampshire Republican State Representative anonymously created the “Red Pill” subreddit.

Wow.

If you’re European, in a couple of weeks you will be denied any and all access to fandom contents on Tumblr and everywhere else on the internet. Here’s why.

On June, 20th the JURI of European Parliament approved of the articles 11 and 13 of the new Copyright Law. These articles are also known as the “Link Tax” and the “Censorship Machines” articles.

Articles 13 in particular forces every internet platform to filter all the contents we upload online, ending once and for all the fandom culture. Which means you won’t be able to upload any type of fandom works like fan arts, fan fictions, gif sets from your favourite films and series, edits, because it’s all copyrighted material. And you won’t also be able to share, enjoy or download other’s contents, because the use of links will be completely restricted.

But not everything’s lost yet. There’s another round of voting scheduled for the early days of July.

What you can do now to save our internet, is to share these informations with all of your family members and friends, and to ask to your MEP (the members of the European Parliament from your country) to vote NO at the next round, to vote against articles 11 and 13.

Here you can find more news and all the details to contact your MEP:

We have just a couple of weeks to stop this complete madness, don’t let them dictating the way we enjoy our internet.

Project Gutenberg is a library of free eBooks.

On both internet archive and project gutenburg it helps to know what book or magizine you are looking for but you can still do a regular vague key word search and find something.

Even your local library and ravelry might have antique pattern books on file! On ravelry you will have to exclude all purchasable patterns instead of just looking for free for some reason, then get past the first page or two of patterns people thought "looked antique" but once you get to the black and white photos you are golden!

So please don't buy an etsy shop's antique pattern when there is really no reason to, and if you are one of those selling these patterns, know I am judging you big time!

Oh wow as someone who exclusively uses these charts now I feel intelligent! 

dots are slip stitch

circles are chains

pluses (+) are single crochets

upper case t’s (T) are half-double crochets 

uppercase t’s with a center line are double crochets 

uppercase t’s with two center lines are triple/treble crochets 

Here’s a PDF with more but those are the ones that I see most often!  Hope this helps!!!

Fellow fibernators, I need HALP!!!

This is a portion of a chart on a pattern I purchased, only realizing after the fact that the instructions are chart-only, not written. I am a written pattern girl to the core. The pattern has a key, of course, but I am nonetheless flummoxed.

The long arcs between the stitches - what ARE they meant to represent?! They aren’t in the key at all. Are they some sort of regular symbol for charted patterns that I don’t know because I’m chart-dumb?
