VERSE Book 2 has been updating weekly, and now we've reached the end of Chapter 1, so it's a good time to catch up!
(You can also always buy/borrow the comic and read all of it immediately *wink*)
If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

More magic sigils from lecture, this one is called the “Golden Circle” and it explains Steve Jobs, the Wright brothers, and MLK jr. This is not a joke, we are learning to use the Golden Circle.

remember when I posted some dragonborn studies way back when? I have since made a few more, and this, although also an older one, is perhaps my favourite. I really liked painting it and I was so happy with the feather crest! It is my forever headcanon.
(I posted this on my portfolio blog earlier but then I figured I want to strut some of my stuff here bc like two friends of mine follow that portfolio and that is as things should be. I’m not sure how tumblr etiquette works anymore!)

Is this about how ppl born in the late 20th century have a unique and fluid experience of navigating barriers to information access and its our responsibility to teach the younger folks how to tinker with technology to avoid being spoonfed everything we experience in order to have critical skills that keep us informed, autonomous, and able to hold power despite looming threats of authoritarianism or..........???
i love love lOVE the additional element of “the only information that’s free is the ‘how we’re going to hell’” BS. Chef’s kiss.

don’t stop talking about what’s happening
Snorkmaiden, ink and gold marker, from October.
It’s been more or less a million years since I last had a habit of posting to tumblr. I don’t know how to start again.
Anyway, here’s a collection of things I’ve made this autumn (that are not drawings). I’ve been mending a lot. Knots and a mug and a sleeve and a yarn and holes and buttons and a knife and a mitten and a pocket and an apron(half).
I have a kid now, and it’s more of a challenge to find the time to make or draw things, but something’s still happening :O

Distant Utopia - from ひきだしにテラリウム (Terrarium in a Drawer) by Ryoko Kui
now that Dungeon Meshi has an official English translation, i hope someday Kui’s other work will get translated too. this anthology was really good, and this story was one of my favorites
this is getting a lot of reblogs lately and i’m so glad. i know people hype Ryoko Kui a lot but she really is that good at comics, and this 75%-tongue-in-cheek 10 page comic unironically showcases what makes all the politics and worldbuilding in Dungeon Meshi so good. some one please publish her other short stories in English please please please

Visible mending designs in their clothes

What do you suggest to mend ribbed cuffs on hoodies? I have plenty of hoodies and unfortunately there are holes on my cuffs. I have no idea how it happened either.
Honestly? Whenever that happens to mine, I never know how it happened, either.
Mending ribbed cuffs:
It might not seem like it because the knitting's often very small, but ribbed cuffs are usually knitted cuffs. This means they stretch, something we'll have to take into account when mending them.
There's a few ways you could mend these cuffs. Let's take a look:
Techniques:
If it's a small hole, get some matching thread and fix up the hole with a ladder stitch. You could leave it like that, or hide your mend by embroidering over it.

You could also sew a patch over the hole. Note that big patches may make your cuff less stretchy.

If the cuff's edge is fraying badly, you could also embroider over the edge, or sew on a new strip of fabric (note that these fixes may stop your cuff from stretching).

Another option is to darn your cuff. Use matching thread to minimise the visibility of your mend, or contrasting thread to make your mend a design element.
If you use a woven darning technique, the cuff will look nice but you'll lose some of your stretch. If your cuffs' knitting isn't too tiny, you can avoid this by using Swiss darning or a duplicate stitch instead, depending on the type of damage you're trying to repair.

If all fails, you'll have to replace the cuffs.
You'll find ribbed fabric or even replacements cuffs at most craft stores. Of course, you could also remove a cuff from a different hoodie and sew it onto the one you're trying to repair, or try to find a worn-out ribbed garment that could be cut up for a new cuff. Old socks are great for this.

If you're a knitter, you could also knit your own cuff! Remove the damaged cuff from your hoodie (with a seam ripper if possible, but just cutting them off is an option too). Either pick up stitches on your existing sleeve and knit a new cuff in the round, or knit a separate cuff (either in the round, or straight and sewn together) and sew it onto your sleeve once it's finished.

Conclusion:
Holes in cuffs happen a lot. They're near our hands, and we use our hands all the time, so they get snagged easily. If my suggestions seem a little daunting, just stick to a good old ladder stitch and you'll be fine. If not: be as creative as you want!
