One should always have at least 2 craft projects going. That way, when one of them is messed up and misbehaving, you can switch to another, and let the first one sit there and think about what it's done.

[capricorn-0mnikorn]

Sometimes (oftentimes), when a creative project is "misbehaving," it's because it is tired, and overstimulated, and just needs a time out to rest -- like toddlers often need.

And sometimes, you should give your creative projects time to talk to each other, as well as to you.

Instructions unclear; my 17 ongoing craft projects have unionized against me.

kidnapping stalking insanity sleepwalking cannibalism and teeth, gaslighting gun violence pipe murder and silence and medical trauma and meat. bugs in your body and poisoned black coffee and self-mutilation and lies, police brutality breaks from reality suicide spiders and eyes. paaaaaranoia degloving the uncanny valley and running like prey to survive, agonies torture and drowning and falling and then being buried alive.

For anyone dumb enough to thank Trump and sees this as a "win", think again. This is anything but a win. It's a political stunt.

the agony of wondering "is this project going to be Special and Good Enough to use this handspun on" must be fought stubbornly with the mentality of "yarn is yarn, you ninny"

[blackbearmagic]

and also aggressively smothered with the question "if not this project, what are you actually going to use it for?"

[gallusrostromegalus]

I have it on the authority of the crochet people in my life that the purpose of yarn is to feel good in your hands while making something. And if the thing turns out to be crap, you can always pull it apart and make something new with it.

FRIENDS IN AMERICA: DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY LGBTQIA+ STUDIES OR SURVEYS. chances are they’re fake/being monitored and your real/legal name will be recorded

[thetrashiestoftrash]

As has been pointed out by more legally-savvy people than me, the problem is not "oh no! The VA is running a totally fake study as a front to collect info about LGBT vets!" That's conspiracy-brained fearmongering. Slightly better is "oh no! someone is impersonating the VA to collect info about LGBT vets!" but it doesn't quite hit the root of the problem.

The problem is that even a perfectly legitimate study collects data that someone else might access. It's not enough to ask yourself, "Is this a real study, and is it being carried out for well-intentioned purposes?" You have to also ask yourself, "Do I think this organization is equipped to safeguard any info from the study for as long as Trump and his buddies are in positions to demand that info, knowing that he intends to lie, change the rules, ignore the rules, and appoint people who will help him do all of the above?"

The VA study is a potential risk because the VA is a federal institution, and as such it may be easier for other parts of the federal government to rifle through their records for anything they can use.
