Picked up some conté crayons on sale a couple weeks ago and remembered today that I had a black paper sketchbook they might look cool on. My boy has appropriate colouring.

repatriating the artifacts in the british museum except i give them to whichever country has historically been the greatest enemy of the country of origin. there's not enough hate in the world

Robbing the British Museum and then just giving everything back to the British is crazy

How to Clean Your Sewing Machine

Sewing machine maintenance is a necessary part of a quilter’s routine for trouble-free stitching. Watch our video to learn how to clean your

When was the last time you cleaned your sewing machine? It's a simple task, and something I do between projects. Have you noticed your thread tangling or tearing? Stitches being skipped? A funky noise that shouldn't be there? Chances are your machine needs to be cleaned. Cleaning it will prevent it from breaking down and requiring repairs, and that can get very expensive.

[creations-by-chaosfay]

Just a reminder to clean your machine. This is mine after finishing the quilting of a table runner and piecing the current one. If your machine is skipping stitches or the bobbin thread isn't behaving. Check your machine. It may just need some cleaning.

And oil it, if it's one that requires oiling!

Oh…. Well, it’s over for Crunchyroll I guess

[studentofetherium]

it gets worse: funi had an option to buy anime outright. but, it was bought digitally, and now CR has said that they're not going to honor that, so if you bought anything from funi digitally, CR are taking that away from you

[lastoneout]

This is absolutely insane but the part that I find funny is that there isn't a community on earth more dedicated to piracy than western anime fans. For ages the only way to even get your hands on anime and manga in the west was piracy. I literally don't think Crunchyroll could have picked a worse group to try the "we're a monopoly so we can charge you whatever we want" play on. I doubt there's a person over the age of 25 who saw that and thought anything other than "welp, okay, piracy it is then!" like honestly the Crunchyroll executives are out of their fucking minds with this one.

[scifigrl47]

What I think a lot of new fans miss is that... there used to be rules.

I have now run anime cons for 20 years. I got into anime in the period where the internet was rising, and legal access to this stuff was sparse, and generally limited to the biggest titles. I bought Fruits Basket on four. Separate. DVDs. I got each ON SALE for around 20.00. I paid EIGHTY PLUS DOLLARS for 4 DVDs of Fruits Basket.

But most of my early access was on blank DVDs with names and episode numbers written clumsily in sharpie. Handed over by friends, traded at con meetings, mailed to me by a friend via media mail. Fansubs and bootlegs, torrented and copied endlessly.

But there used those be a rule. A covenant. Unbreakable. Once a property was licensed, all illegal distribution stopped. Instantly.

The last episode of Fullmetal Alchemist I saw involved Hughes in a phone booth. The series was licensed right after that, and all access stopped. Fansubbers closed their listings, torrents dried up.

Because the end goal was licensing. We wanted nice, physical copies. We wanted professional, properly coded subtitles. We wanted an English Dub cast. We wanted to make anime a viable industry in the West.

So we bought Fruits Basket for eighty goddamn dollars.

So as I reach bitterly for my DVD burner yet again, it's time to remember. We upheld our part of the bargain. We bought it legally from them. We paid to see this industry grow and thrive.

We didn't break the agreement. They did.

Having fun with paint markers to give my brain some extra stimulation breaks as I work. Bellsprout rave is my new favourite thing ngl.

Going through cupboards this week, we found a study of Mona Lisa my wife had done when she was about fifteen, which was excellent in every respect except that the facial features took up about 25% of the space they ought, which made for an A+ cupboard discovery and I am framing it.

I’ve never done anything with Mona Lisa so I wanted to see what I’d get if I tried to draw it from memory, so here you are. Equally incorrect but rather less hilarious.
