I do the same when people want me to download whatsapp. This is why we need unions.

Good on you. I turned down an interview at the first level because they asked me to download one program, I said I’d be happy to download anything they want if they bought the hardware and paid for my internet.

I’ll die of excitement while mowing the neighbour’s lawn with scissors.

We need to start demanding technical diagrams again. I’ve fixed up antiques where the schematics were printed on the inside, even for a simple flashlight.

Bred wine.

And this is how I found out the famed street artist has died.

How did I forget that… Good one.

My second favorite washroom was a grand all-genders one at a bar. There was never a wait and it had a hang-out area so you could keep an eye on your friends if they got too tipsy, or just do nose drugs with strangers. Mostly nose drugs.

Am I supposed to lay eggs??!?!!?

This worked! Thank you. My two-hole method was fucking me over.

Okay but I’ve been in plastic bag land for a while and every goddamn time I make the first cut, I spill milk everywhere. Is there a trick? I already know the “both sides” method and put it in the jug before I cut the corner. Right now I just have a glass standing by for my obligatory shot every time I open one.

We had those in Vancouver, too, which came from a dairy in the Greater Vancouver Area. I used to get fancy milk on payday and keep the bottles for crafts, away from the recycling bandits. They love them because you can get like a dollar back, per each.

I thought everyone was sexually attracted to all genders at least a little bit until I learned that no, straight people are actually straight.

My experience has been much different. I do everything from woodworking to Arduino to crochet, I’ve seen quite a few different group dynamics in gender and ages.

That’s not to say you’re wrong, lotta people have dumbass opinions on gender, but I’m so thankful I haven’t experienced much of that in the art world. The men’s sheds opening to women in the UK are a great example of positive change among the older generation.

Is it supposed to be narrow and hooked?

Oof, I lost finger-skin to that slidey bitch. Does that make carpentry and machining more or less manly?

There aren’t any more axes, unless you count the moving bed. The one I used didn’t need specialized tools to change the bit.

Why would women be uncomfortable about a dude joining if it’s not a gendered club? I haven’t met knitters of any age who wouldn’t be thrilled to talk wool weights and patterns with anyone. I’m a woman who’s been in and taught a ton of art and craft groups, they’ve all been mixed in age and genders. Art is for everyone.

Totally. Knitting is one of the most practical skills someone can have. It’s math, textiles, logistics, engineering, and cozy. You can also take control of what materials go into your clothing, too, like by sticking to organics and staying away from synthetics that break down faster and shed microplastics.

Hell, I got into fibre arts and went so deep I started visiting farms to buy my own fleeces, paying small hobby shepherds directly.

Ravelry.com (I’m not a shill, it’s just a great site) is good for searching patterns, organizing favorites, and it has a knitting calculator for conversions.

You don’t even have to knit a bowl to felt it, you can just felt wool roving over a flat circle form, cut it off, blow up a balloon inside and let it dry.

Last year I only needed a good miter saw. Now I know I’ll only be happy with a 5 axis CNC machine.
