this messed up vintage cat sewing pattern has tormented me since i saw it & like some other folks have done in that post - i tried my hand at tweaking the pattern to resemble the illustration (and my personal tastes) a little more. i've ended up with this, which i have only tested at a small scale and not this final version exactly (where i have done such things as further widening the cheeks and finalizing the leg shapes.) i bestow it upon you nice folks now 👐

go forth and make weird little beanbag kittens! pls show me if you do!

[daftpatience]

woah this got big!! and after another try i have another untested tweak for yall. this should help the weird pinchy side seams out. yey

[calltainn]

My first attempt! I made the pattern a bit smaller as I wanted it to be able to fit in a pocket, but then (accidentally but perhaps unavoidably) sewed it with a wider seam allowance than the resized pattern indicated, so the face is proportionally a bit too big and I lost some detail in the ear shape. I'm pleased with it though! It was fun to make something and to do some handsewing.

SOO CUTE AND TINIE 😭

I tried this pattern a while back to try out some minky and I get no points for making the pattern well but looook at my boyyy

I also made a post about the good elements of the movie on my instagram, which are significantly fewer than the bad ones. I wanted to be fair.

[alatismeni-theitsa]

Splendid post! No wonder it gained so much traction on instagram.

I watched the movie myself (ahoy mates) and I gave it much less grace. I have some things to add.

For example, something I didn't like was that the guy speaking Greek was (accidentally, I think) made to look like a Barbarian to the foreign audience, even though he was the only ethnic Greek in the scene! Most viewers still don't understand or want to accept (because of his skin color) that this is how Greeks look.

Something else that seemed strange to me was that Helen had a twin (which meant she was no longer the most beautiful woman in the land!?!?), and that Menelaos gave her a scar as punishment. Menelaos, who, in the ancient text, took her back without hurting her, and the gods rewarded him for his restraint! So now we are adding more abuse against ancient Greek women. So feminist!

The scene with Argos' death was so brief and unimpactful that I felt NOTHING!!! The execution of this scene was a crime!!! 😭

The audio... Guys... the audio!! It was extremely loud! I have a half-deaf friend and his ears were in PAIN during the showing in a local IMAX cinema!

But maybe the biggest crime of it all was that it was bland and boring. I am the type of person who doesn't mind a whole helicopter landing over Troy for the metamodern flavor of it, IF it is set up correctly. I think a random helicopter would have improved Nolan's snoozefest, actually.

Even if we disregard all the Greek erasure and inaccuracies, this was Nolan's worst film to this day.

If you're comfortable accusing anyone of faking disability, you're not a real ally to disabled people

One time when I was a kid a group of girls and I had to treat another student for hypothermia by ourselves because she had so many invisible health issues that the adults we asked for help didn't believe us. The student in question was actively hallucinating. When I finally ran for help the people I grabbed were slow as shit to respond, casually joking about how "dramatic" the person in question was.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so go drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"

Sincerely, truly, from the bottom of my heart- as someone who isn't physically disabled but hears this shit all the time- fuck off

just remembered this time I read an article from an autism mom justifying trying to get her TWELVE year old daughter with high support needs autism and an intellectual disability a HYSTERECTOMY because she had a hard time explaining what a period was to her daughter and "her daughter would never willingly have children so it should be okay"

I'm fairly confident the doctors vetoed that one (thank god) but it really says a lot about how caregivers will bulldoze the rights of developmentally disabled people when those rights are inconvenient to them.

nobody is faking POTS, fibromyalgia or ME/CFS for attention because nobody gives a fuck if you have POTS, fibromyalgia or ME/CFS. these are three conditions people are always accused of faking online (largely because they’re common chronic illnesses and young women are disproportionately effected by them 😃) and it’s like…..look around bitch. when was the last time you saw a fund for a cure CFS walkathon? you ever see a Google banner for fibromyalgia? these are illnesses that suck to have and that you are often treated like absolute dogshit by the medical community and pop culture at large if you do have them. you don’t get positive attention, or any attention at all, if you’re at home laying down 85% of your life.

There's an xkcd for that :3

Side note: polonium-210 is a very dangerous isotope, however it "does not pose a radiation hazard when kept outside the body", as the alpha particle it emits have very little penetration power and cannot pierce even the outer layers of dead skin. It has still killed countless people, though, not because of children's rings, but because of tobacco. Polonium latches onto and concentrates in tobacco leaves, leading to heavy smokers being exposed to more radiation than survivors of the Chernobyl disaster.

It's always wild to me seeing comments about different toxins like this on information about random things in the past, but it's never discussed when it comes to cigarettes.
