xpn.orgVote for the 885 Greatest Songs from Movies & TV!The 885 Countdown is back… to the future! Ok, sorry for that ham-fisted reference. But it is relevant to this year’s countdown theme! (Back to the Future Part III takes place in 1885.) We’re asking yo...

So I wanna know, who else will be submitting a list for the annual @wxpnfm.bsky.social countdown? Still working on mine, but I'm clearly headed down the obscure soundtracks path. And you? Whatcha got? 😊

@atbeingme.bsky.social, just checking in to say hello! How are you? 😊

@booker-julian.bsky.social...see, that was just fucking amazing. Wow.

Love making sure my kitchen is clean and well-stocked for whatever I might want to cook or bake.

Xae ❤️@veryghetto.blacksky.app

Do yall have a favorite chore? I love a vaccum session.

@booker-julian.bsky.social, really long day for me, so I'm usually never, ever up this late, but wow, this is really good stuff.

So it appears I may be the only retail worker in the immediate area who isn't working today. Introverted Retail Worker Survival Lesson #1: Never share your approved days off with your coworkers before they happen. 1/x

7 Sept

Or, most of your schedule for that matter. My coworkers are lovely, but I'm still trying to figure out the cashier fiefdom. So fucking weird. 2/x

Introverted Retail Worker Survival Lesson #2: Get in as early as possible, so you can get out of there as soon as possible. Perfect avoidance of co-workers, since no one wants to work that shift. More lessons to follow as necessary. /fin

So today I had my first legit...unhinged?...customer. Stomped up my lane while I was helping someone else, demanded that "I have to get out of here", threw a bag of hair bands and a pack of gum onto my register belt...1/x

I kept talking to her until she decided she was done with me. "And this is why you work here! Because you treat people like...". 5/x

So how was your day? /fin

She kept demanding to know the price of the gum, so I checked with my scanner (My Zebra wouldn't have been quick enough), so with my customer's approval, I scanned the price; $4 something with tax. I removed it from my customer's total... 3/x

...and then she threw a $5 bill at my customer demanding that *she* pay it because I'd already added it to her bill (plese see above), so then she would be free to take her fucking gum and leave. 4/x

...and then demanded that I check her out first (yes, I know how to suspend a transaction, but I ain't doing that because I know better). I began to descalate, flipped my light on for manager-level help; C was out in the parking lot rounding up carts. 2/x

So this is what happens when I go to the library looking for Colson Whitehead and end up in the crafting section yet again...BUT...I think I may have struck gold.

2 Aug

It's fabulous...mushroom (perhaps two?) sprites ride giant snails and yes, you can make your snail steeds saddles, saddle bags, or maybe you just need a leash for your small snail? It's all here.

2 Aug

It is absolutely adorable and silly and more than a little bit trippy and I am here for all of this.

3 July

@rainyfern.bsky.social, hi! 😊

3 July

I'm really, really loving working on this now not-so little Lacey Thing. That's about 12" unblocked, and I'm thinking I'll just finish the skein. I'll weigh everything and see how much I have left so I can work out what the final length might be. And I need blocking wires.

2 July

It's a good day to stay in the AC, listen to the Phils, and clean out the spice and herb shelf.

27 June

@lisascottoline.bsky.social, would you like me to knit something for you? Like, a yurt, maybe?

27 June

I'm just about done with my yarn inventory. Oh, my goodness. I, um...have 35 miles of yarn; I did the math, trust me on this. 31 miles of yarn gets you from Philly to New Hope, PA, with more than enough to spare; that extra 4 miles turns into almost 7,000 yards. Please send patterns ASAP.

23 June

Hey @kallao.bsky.social...Stanley and Christian! 2 of my faves. Saw C with his New Jawn at the Annenberg a few years back. *chef's kiss*

@mercwolfmoor.bsky.social

10 June

I dunno, @wxpnfm.bsky.social...not really sure about the polka dotted people. Probably more of a visual thing?

@kallao.bsky.social, you have no idea how much I'm loving this chat with Bill Frisell. And if you haven't yet done so, you may want to wrap your ears around this. 😌

Anyways! Here's the first post-graduation sweater project. Swatching begins after dinner.

1 June

So I just discovered I could hand wind my yarn just using the swift and why didn't anyone tell me this. I thought we were friends.

25 May

The yarn inventory continues. I think I'm about 80% done. I wonder what my total yardage looks like right about now. Oh. 60,374 yards. Better get knitting.

24 May

The yarn inventory continues. Oh, my. Exactly *how much* bulky wool in a mushroomy-taupey colorway do I have, exactly?

24 May

Hey Philly people... anyone else without power?
