Just putting this out there, I want to teach people how to sew (via video call) this year, if you want sewing support let's chat! I have a degree in Apparel Technology, and I need a way to support myself that doesn't exacerbate my MCAS, online sewing coaching is something I'd LOVE to do.

Going back in my cage And I’m doing just fine Gotta gotta be caged Because I gotta draw It started out with a pitch How did it end up like this It was only a pitch **It was only a pitch**

This is why I'd rather be too hot than too cold btw, because "you can always put more layers on when you're cold" but those layers then have more chance of getting out of alignment. Hot weather = fewer layers on my skin that will get off-grain.

A day late, but this is one of the first images taken of Earth from space. Ever. It was acquired from an altitude of 105 km (five times higher than the previous record) eighty years ago, on 24 October 1946, with a 35 mm camera mounted on a V-2 rocket launched from the White Sands Missile Range.

This review of Dressmaker is very similar to what I've experienced, it's help me reconnect with my love of sewing (a big deal if you know about the fashion school trauma!) without requiring the large amounts of cognitive and physical energy involved in real sewing.

Not the top Steam review of Dressmaker making me cry this morning!

Gluten free food options. Omg it was dire when I was first diagnosed celiac.

It doesn’t even occur to my students that being gay would be scary and saddening for someone their age in another era. I have to explain homophobia like an artifact from an ancient culture.

There's a few but the one I'm probably most passionate about is photography. There are now more and better pictures being taken by more people, and shared more widely, than at any point. And the standards people have are better as a result, and the quality of images higher than ever before.

Most of my family lives halfway around the world from us, but now bc of video call tech i talk to them as much as I do my family that lives in the same state. No more expensive international call cards or literally having to mail vhs tapes to each other.

Morning people things. 5:22am: no birds. 5:34am: that one bird 5:50am: DAWN CHORUS OP. 1 ALLEGRO CON SHOUTING

Friction is so important to creative work that people *add* friction to allow themselves to do it. Just one example: meter, in poetry. You create a framework that restricts you, that limits you, in order to give your thoughts a scaffold within which to build.

In a deep and bitter one-sided rivalry with another Outlier player who keeps finding more pioneers than me.

"In an age of AI, making stuff with your hands is a radical act." No it's not. Making stuff with your hands is normal and human. If you start calling it radical, YOU'VE ALREADY BOUGHT INTO THE AI-IS-NORMAL PREMISE.

When certain people ultimately point fingers at Elections Alberta for the delay and missteps tonight, don't forget who underfunded and hampered EA's requests for help to make sure this would run more smoothly.

Ok so the irony is that a lot of the referendum expense is paying election workers, who are just ordinary Albertans with a temp job (like meee), so it does go directly back to taxpayers. But it's kind of a stupid convoluted way to do it.

Voted around 3:30pm and there was no line, so rolling my eyes real hard at all the social media freaker-outers who were like "vote with mail-in ballots coz the line on election day is going to be REALLY LONG" Anyways, you can still vote until 8pm at most polling places in Alberta, and later in YEG.

Yeah. Most of my periods are like, the level of pain you get in your muscles from working out the day before. On the first day. And then there's nothing. Sometimes it's a bit more painful than that, and if I eat a bunch of dairy the first day it gets worse, but usually, 4/10 pain on the first day.

I know Health Canada has great reasons and many people are surprised about what is in their food but I will always laugh about a sticker warning me about "high sugar" as though that isn't the sole reason i am in the ice cream aisle

I'm making my way through the 13 Minutes to the Moon podcast which is very good, but every time they play the theme music I'm like "Ok Hans, calm down!" because Hans Zimmer wrote the opening music and it is extremely over-the-top dramatic. Yes. Even for a subject as grand as landing on the moon.

one of those combined solar panels/farm fields where you grow berries under the solar panels. dont even care about the profit from selling the electricity i just think its neat to have a berry field thats hidden from aliens
