I WANT TO PUT IT ON EVERYTHING

[swords-n-spindles]

I must spin more yarn. 😳

[swords-n-spindles]

I must spin... a gradient.

[swords-n-spindles]

This is not a gradient.

[swords-n-spindles]

This is a gradient!

[swords-n-spindles]

Oooouuuuhhghhhhh spin spin spin!!!

[swords-n-spindles]

These colours are really hard to photograph, but we've moved from pale lavender to turquoise/blue.

[swords-n-spindles]

We have reached electric blue, prple, and red!

On to the second bobbin.

Plying plying plying

Trying to figure out how bothered I should be that the singles probably won't match up. Right now it's fine, but once I hit the blues I might have to do some singles surgery. Maybe. Perhaps.

[swords-n-spindles]

Oh yeah I'm getting SUCH a good gradient.

And the singles match up so far!

It’s called ‘being able to see the corpse’

[burning-cathedrals-deactivated2]

So if I put you in an L-shaped swimming pool, and you knew there was a corpse around the corner, you'd be fine?

[mwagneto]

loving the implication that I'm a little animal and you're a scientist putting me into various bodies of water to test my corpse:water ratio tolerance

I don't use the Chakra system for alignment because it feels weird to use, and the understanding of it in the West is incorrect and it feels appropriative and leaves a bad taste.

I use a three point system. Body, Heart, Mind, which I have aligned to Earth, Water, Sky.

It’s extremely fucked up that some ppl try to make you feel stupid and immature for hoping for a better world. You say you want world peace and mfs think you need a pacifier; dawg, I just don’t want ppl dying from violence. This idea that ppl simply must die as casualties of war is misanthropic to say the least.

Proteomics nails near perfect results for endometriosis blood test

Proteomics International soared 24pc to 75c on news its PromarkerEndo test could successfully diagnose all stages of endometriosis, which af

This is fucking excellent news. Researchers in Australia have managed to achieve near perfect results for a blood test that can detect endometriosis.

Until now endometriosis has only been diagnosable through invasive abdominal surgery.

This is an amazing game changer.

The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!
