Cathidor's pile of turnips

I lurk most of the time so if you don't see a post for months know this blog is probably still alive.

I forgot how terrible they made tumblr with making it so instead of using people's urls first in place of www they add them after a slash or worse, after a slash blog. This completely negates the blog themes that were once integral

[thebusylilbird]

just found out about the Cinnamon-headed green pigeon... holy shit how gorgeous

[cathidorcat]

i guess it's time for me to stop using tumblr on tablet, it's become completely unstable due to the ads, layout swapping between mobile and pc at random, and jumping between scroll points while scrolling/tapping. no ui element is good when ads are fixed pixel width extending off screen

pathetic reminder that I have a patreon now... just spent another 60 bucks on ethanol for properly preserving and maintaining my rare shrimp reference collection (one of the largest worldwide) because the big collection in town would literally let them rot out of pure disinterest (and has done so for many other unpopular bugs)

[mossworm]

I’m just called mossworm over there! I should make a post about just shrimp collection upkeep

Hello tumblr I heard you like changeling stories

[systlin]

So my sister wants to start sewing more, because

a. She’s 5′ 11″ and can never find pants long enough for her legs or shirts long enough for her arms.

b. She hates synthetic fibers as much as I do and it’s difficult to find natural fiber clothes that aren’t made of cotton

c. She’s a biologist and would physically fistfight microplastics if given half a chance

So her gift from mom and dad for her birthday was a sewing machine. Not a super expensive one but a good solid serviceable one.

And recently she asked “So where do I GET wool or linen and thread that isn’t polyester” and mom was like ‘go ask your sister’

And I, of course, crashed into the group text like “GET A PEN I HAVE WEBSITES FOR U” and honestly I’m thrilled about this

[systlin]

“Where did u get all this”

“Bets, u know I’m a 15th degree blackbelt of buying shit on the internet”

“oh yeah tru”

I don’t know a lot about sewing, but I want to make or have my mom make some linen pants & shirts for when I’m watering, because it gets to 105 here and we have mosquitos so I need to be covered. What type of linen do I buy? Also, linen pajama shorts, yes/no?

(I’ve been wearing my renfaire pants which are a linen mix, I think. But the frikking mosquitos that hide in the tomatoes get my arms)

[systlin]

Medium weight is what I’d go with.

And linen pajama shorts is a HARD yes.

[beggars-opera]

Renaissance Fabrics is good for all sorts of things

Mood doesn’t specialize in natural fabrics but they do have basically every fabric ever made so

[withbroombefore]

Dorr Mill Store has a great selection of wool fabric in all sorts of colors and patterns.

I think it’s important to remember that executive dysfunction doesn’t just apply to doing chores (work, cleaning, etc). It also makes it difficult to engage with your hobbies.

Some people don’t seem to understand that when I say that I don’t have the motivation to do something that I have said I want to do, it has nothing to do with not being interested enough in said thing. It is just that my brain is not allowing me to do it even though I want to.
