How I join skeins

Cleeeeeveeer!

It's good to learn, remember, and share stuff like this.

When my mom or her sisters did crochet growing up, their dickhead older brothers thought it was hilarious to snip the yarn somewhere in the middle of the bundle. I suspect mom would've found a trick like this really handy.

I have used this method and I can confirm it is Great. Makes a very, very strong join that won't break, and then you don't have to weave in the ends when you're done!!

This is officially the Haters' Superbowl not just because of Kendrick but because the good people of Philadelphia are known for being haters. The haters prevailed tonight. Long live haters.

we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland

oh there's a third! bland, new south wales!

I'm sorry but I just have to appreciate the wordplay on that last sign. It's brilliant.

Official silly sign

"the ghosts that inhabit this place are more alive than you'll ever be" is an unfairly intense quote to be under a tiktok comment

knights can be created by other knights like vampires except instead of biting them they wack them on the shoulders with swords

the honey they produce is chivalrous deeds

DO NOT listen to that tagger. That is a more modern take on knighthood. Nobles could knight knights, knights could knight knights. Before that, any guy with a sword and a horse could just be a knight. Just because the monarchy is holding all the knight rights in England doesn’t mean that is the way it is supposed to be. Knight anarchy.

🗡️ If you’re reading this, I have knighted you. Fuck all those chivalric orders that popped up during the Crusades. Knight anarchy. 🗡️

These men just stole the personal information of everyone in America AND control the Treasury. Link to article.

Spread their names!

elon is really mad about this so it would be a shame if people kept spreading the names around

we need block appeal on this site i need to be able to argue my merit to people who hate me for one (1) thing i said so that i can reblog their good posts

me, kneeling before the person who blocked me: please, god king, ruler of these sacred lands, i do not even know your quarrel with me, but i humbly request the ability to reblog your joke posts once more

the person who blocked me: your takes on solavellan displeased me.

me: twas mere frustration! a criticism of those unhinged few, liege. i have no quarrel with the likes of you, and wish only to show fealty by reblogging your meta posts with the tag "scrumptious", or perhaps even "SOOOOOOO TRUE!"

the person who blocked me: alas, this is a sin that i cannot forgive you for. leave these lands and never return, for your ilk are not welcome here.

me: very well. then you understand i must reply to your slight in kind.

the person who blocked me: aye. such as it must be.

me, hitting the block button on the way out: may our paths never cross again, warmonger.

this is the funniest possible outcome of this post

Today my Advanced Clinical Pathology professor trailed off in the middle of class and said, “If I seem distracted, it’s because last night I was talking with a friend and she asked ‘Who’s that chick in Titanic?’ but all I heard was ‘Chicken Titanic,’ and ever since then I’ve been thinking about a chicken on the bow of the Titanic like Kate Winslet, wings held high. It’s all I can think about.”

My hand moved on its own

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

good morning how do i kill the yearning before it kills me
