Thicc crocodile passing on your timeline🐊

[stitchposts]

what is your LEAST favorite stitch?

I don't like counted work at fucking all. So: the cross stitch.

[rabbitindisguise]

reading this as someone who does cross stitch but is scared of the other kinds of embroidery is like overhearing an incredibly tall and buff person say they have beef with Mr. Tom, the kitten that chills at the bookstore

[stitchposts]

FUCK Mr. Tom and his stupid little fluffy tail ok. And his little charted designs.

[the-dragongirl]

Okay, but this neglects the true villain of embroidery stitches: the French knot

[stitchposts]

Don't you dare malign my girl again

[im-a-dream-wizard]

Ok the french knot is very useful but it is a BITCH to do it consistently

[stitchposts]

We talk about how this website’s hate mail game is insane, but this might just be a new level

[talbatross]

"skill issue" made entirely from French knots is a next level roast. no coming back from that one. damn

[enii]

I'm so lucky💕

“Cats don’t actually love you”

A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.

Don’t you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it’s helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.

Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.

DEI does not mean lower standards.

You are thinking of white privilege.

[beardedmrbean]

One of those situations where, 'you're turning into your father' is the furthest thing from a insult possible.

Have y'all seen this 😭

[apas-95]

genuinely very interested in what the people in the notes think the pilot was doing

[endcant]

this has to be what was going on yesterday bc i was 40 minutes early getting back and my homies were like hello i thought you were supposed to land at 6. and i was like. me too

Yeah I guess I’m obligated to say hiiiii. I fly airplanes. They’re so fucking safe it’s actually frustrating for us. I promise you that the administration who won’t even let hobby pilots fly for ten days after taking a Benadryl aren’t going to be letting commercial pilots do anything that will intentionally put you in danger.

The reason that flight times can be so different is mainly dependent on three things: the specific aircraft, the route, and the wind. I could go on tangents about all of these, but the point is that you can be flying the exact same plane on the exact same route at the exact same airspeed… and still get drastically different travel times due to the wind fucking with your ground speed.

(Ground speed = true air speed + wind component, if you care.)

And if you’re worried about pilots ramping that shit up to the maximum velocity… you would know if we did. Because we would have to point the nose down for the whole flight. The engines are already often operating at their maximum thrust any time you’re departing or ascending— but as my flight instructors have screamed at me since the day I started flying, “pitch for speed, power for altitude”. I’m not even sure you can hit the “never-exceed” velocities in a stable airplane without slamming the stick forward and nosediving that thang.

We also have this handy color coding on the air speed indicator! (And similar coding on the vertical tape versions in those newfangled glass cockpits.)

Lastly, almost every commercial flight is going to have two people up front. Even if the captain does something stupid, the first officer is there to say “hey, don’t do that” and make corrections accordingly. Even if they do agree to do something dumb, someone on the ground is going to tell them to cut it out. Nobody just gets to fuck around up there.

Flying is safe and fun. Mass transportation rules. Give me money so I can pay my Garmin Pilot subscription.

Just don’t try to fly a jet plane a metre above tree level to look for polar bears while your flight attendant tries to convince the tour guide he’s an absolute expert on said polar bears because he read a picture book on bears in a gift shop an hour before the flight. Trust me, it doesn’t end well.

Now it's been delivered to its intended recipient, I can show off my latest cross stitch project: The Lemon is in Play. It's inspired by John Finnemore's brilliant radio sitcom, Cabin Pressure. I designed the pattern with Stitch Fiddle, using a stock photo of a lemon, some typeface references, and a list of all the shades of yellow that were already in my stash. I'm super happy with how it turned out, and my bestie was delighted with it too!
