Hume @basementgremlindigs - Tumblr Blog

My finished shipwreck shawl seems to be picking up again on tumblr, so I’ve popped back from the void to say that I’m planning on keeping this blog for knitting-related things. For anything stained glass, I’ve found the instagram community to be more active and better suited to my needs (if you’re curious, feel free to look me up on insta. My handle is @danidoodlesnoodles, and my current project features a red envelope glitter shaker for the lunar new year 🧧)

A resident of Hamnavoe, Shetland Islands in Scotland, Anne Eunson decided to knit herself a beautiful lace fence using twine. The fence is fashioned from strong black twine - the same kind that is used to make fishing nets - and Anne knitted it on specially adapted curtain rods. It took her about three weeks to knit enough lace to surround her front garden, using a 23 stitch repeat of a familiar Shetland lace pattern.

"ohh 00s diet culture isn't back because of ozempic, you're overreacting"

idk i keep seeing previously size-inclusive brands remove plus-sized versions of their clothes from their catalogues entirely, even lines specifically aimed at bigger sizes are cutting their size range down and chopping the bigger ones. i keep seeing mean skinny tiktokers get famous because they said something rude about fat people. when i ask my doctor about weight loss (which my country's gender treatment clinic requires before i can access even preliminary talks about hrt), i'm immediately offered drugs about it - drugs which, according to the doctor, we don't know the long-term effects of. but surely! surely it can't be worse than being fat!

like why are people acting surprised? we've made being extremely wealthy the aspirational aesthetic to strive for, made 'being skinny and having a lot of time and money to stay beautiful' a not only viable but lucrative carreer for people, and then released a drug that is wildly expensive and will make people thin.

of course people are gonna make being thin the ultimate status symbol again - it more than ever before signals wealth and leisure-time.

like, do you think it's a coincidence that people are back to constantly spouting 'nothing tastes as good as skinny feels' again? and pretending being fat is a matter of lacking self-control around cake or whatever? as if people haven't spent decades trying to get these fucks to understand that actually healthy produce and the time to maintain your body are extreme luxuries in our society?

anyway my broke fat ass can't find pants i like and can afford because the size-inclusive lines i'd have shopped at previously have axed anything over a size xl

and like. i'm not even that fat. what the fuck do people bigger than me do. it's really heinous right now for fat peeps.

Some really good points from the tags:

skinny was never 'out'. absolutely correct. as long as we live in a society where being skinny can be used to signify status, it'll be extremely fashionable to be skinny. however, there have been fashion waves of being 'thicc', getting bbls, etc - manufactured 'perfect' hourglass type figures. i'm not saying those things have made the world any easier for fat people, but while skinny has never been out, it was briefly also in to have other bodytypes.

it seems to be more the big push of ultra conservative culture than ozempic. imo it's just both. like, notice how all this weird-ass body policing concerns women. demanding women look a certain way is the most conservative-ass shit in the world. i could write thousands of words about how conservative sensibilities have infiltrated mainstream culture through social media (esp tiktok) trends in recent years, but i'll save that for another time. my point is, i think conservative culture and the availability (and status by way of the price tag) of ozempic have cooperated to create an especially hellish time

isn't ozempic for diabetics? it sure is! it's diabetes medication! for people who need it to live! but you know. it makes you not feel hunger, so of course people were gonna use it to starve themselves to death get that sommer bod or whatever the fuck

Morning rebleb of my finished pendant lampshades that I made for the Montreal Chinese Hospital Gala of 2024. They didn’t quite as well I would’ve hoped, but still pretty good for a mini debut. Most of the other items were about sports memorabilia, and the gala attendees didn’t even realize that my lampshades were handmade pieces *shrugs*

Process shots of a lampshade I’m making for the MCH (Montreal Chinese Hospital) gala silent auction. I still don’t know how I feel about the orange panels, but it’s too late to turn back now 🫤
