You can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.

Support Nurses on Strike

The Snohomish Nurses union (UFCW 3000) is on strike with Providence (one of the largest, wealthiest, most profitable non-profit Hospitals in the Pacific Northwest). They are striking over wages (Almost none of them can afford to live in the area they serve), Staffing (they are consistently asked to take on dangerous case loads, putting patients at risk - AND their own licenses at risk), and safety - many of these nurses were asked to work without PPE during CVOID, not be be given support when put in unsafe conditions. Providence is offering less then a living wage, utterly no support on making sure the departments - especially the ER and L&D departments - have enough support and nearly nothing on safety. Note: while I am not a nurse, nor do I work for Providence, I work with several nurses who have had to get side jobs so they can afford rent and think it's pretty despicable that Providence wants to cut it's already thin nursing staff so they can rake in even more money.

Tumblr, you helped made the WGA and SAG-AFTRA go viral. Make this one too.

To summarize: 1. Get uBlock Origin and make sure it's updated to the latest version. 2. Click on the gear icon to get to the dashboard, go to "Filter lists", and make sure that "uBlock filters - Quick fixes" is up to date

Repeat those steps any time you get another popup (google and uBlock are having an arms race right now so it might stop working at any moment), and if you have any more problems, read the reddit thread for troubleshooting advice

This is also uBlockOrigin's guide to reporting bugs in their anti-anti-adblock, a lot of it is about removing confounding factors so uBO knows that there isn't a third party causing an issue.

fuck this shit

let's make some lace yarn

200g BFL/Ramie blend that has sat in my stash for *undisclosed number of years*, dyed by me

(id in alt text)

done! about 870m of 2-ply. very smooth and drape-y.

what should I make with this? (jk I already picked a pattern but if anyone has recs, I still want to hear 😊)

87 years later....

This is a very interesting knit, a little tricky, but not too complicated. I have about 20g yarn left over, which is a little more than I'm happy with, but I didn't feel like ripping it all back to make the shawl bigger, and I like the colour progression in the finished piece, so it's fine. As you can see from the timestamps, this took forever; I started a different shawl pattern first but miscalculated, got frustrated and frogged the whole thing when I was about 2/3rds done. That ended up being a good decision; I'm really happy with how this turned out.

That’s amazing.

Bro what? I’m hardly even on this b*tch anymore.

Also, if you’re going to come at me #1 - I should know what you’re talking about and #2 - you should have proper spelling. What is ‘yr’?

Also who is being loud?
