Getting cozy by the fire.
I love getting unaccompanied minors (kids flying alone) who so clearly just. Don't want to be here lol. Sometimes I get to know a little of their story, like their parents are divorced, or a family member died and they're heading to the funeral, but usually they just don't want to talk about it and that's fine. But I always treat the flight like it's a challenge to make them smile. I offer them snacks and soda but that's never enough, that's whatever, they could get those from an airport vending machine. Chump change. So then I tell the worst jokes. Just the most embarrassing, kindergarten teacher, annoying dad jokes you can think of. And those always get a groan, or a "Seriously??" And that's my in! Now I can say "Why, what's your idea of a good joke? No, come on hotshot, make your best joke, let's see it." And they hem and they haw but of course they eventually tell me their very best joke because kids are little competitive comedy goldmines. And it's always super funny, so I laugh, and that's where they slip up. Because you know what you almost always do when your joke successfully makes someone laugh? You smile. And I'm like. Gotcha. Rookie move. Now you're going to end up having a good time in spite of yourself. I win.
Did this with an 11yo u.m. today and he said "What did the ghost say to the other ghost?" And I said "What?" "Nothing. Ghosts aren't real."
I'm literally a flight attendant, offering snacks and drinks is my job
“This tumblr may contain sensitive material” Great, fantastic. Amazing.
“6 months from now I will be in a different situation.”
Speak it into existence.
SIX MONTHS FROM NOW I WILL BE IN A DIFFERENT SITUATION
A better, successful, lucrative, blessed, abundant situation *
i remember when i reblogged this around six months ago, and the lord really has been good to me since🥰
In Jesus name!

Today I found out that yarners think crocheting socks is subversive and controversial and I just…on one hand, why the fuck not, I guess yarners are allowed to have their controversies, but on the other, how much time do you have in your FUCKIN DAY??
My main concern is how they would feel but Maggie u know yarn fandom gotta think about something while knitting five miles of stockingnette for a sweater
Look, you can’t just leave it at that, why is it subversive and controversial? *gets popcorn*
I mean, I’m taking this on good faith, and I’m not saying this is my own personal belief. I believe in all crafts.
But…the structure of the stitches and the resulting fabric is pretty different between crochet and knitting. You get different effects between them, which lends themselves to different crafts. And none of the effects of (most) crochet stitches lend themselves naturally to socks. You’re (usually) going to end up with something either stiff and bulky, or full of holes that will Not Feel Good to walk on. Whereas knitted socks will just…BE elastic and comfortable.
Sure you CAN do it. And there are people and patterns that do it well!!
But MOST crochet socks are a bit like calling this a bicycle
I mean… Okay? But people are going to Talk.
But this is BABY controversy, this is nothing. You haven’t even touched on the good shit like RHSS or that time the Olympic Committee dissed us.
Iiiinteresting. So one of those “just because you CAN doesn’t mean you SHOULD” things.
Also I know very little about the yarn fandom except for that bit where a woman had to fake her death and had a nervous breakdown over selling homespun/dyed yarn so like, I already have big expectations.
Was that the one that “died” of leukemia or the one that “died” of lupus, or the one that overdosed?
From what I know of the narrative as it was described to me, I want to say the one that overdosed, but I am intrigued and vaguely concerned that there are multiple distinct individuals the above situation could apply to.
hey umm, what the fuck
the fake deaths thing: indie yarn dyer gets popular, gets overwhelmed by orders, can’t refund money because of shitty bookkeeping, decides faking online death is the only way out.
i’m sure some of them are unintentional rather than premeditated scammers but they’re all still thieving assholes who shouldn’t be running businesses and need to give all the money back.
the olympics commitee: ravelry, well-known knitting (fiber arts in general) site, held a contest they called the ‘ravelympics’ to drum up olympic support then get a cease-and-desist letter for copyright infringement, and the letter said that calling it that ‘denigrates the true nature of the Olympic Games’ and was ‘disrespectful to our country’s finest athletes’
except, you know, ravelry had like 2 million users who all, by nature of ravelry being a website, have basic tech literacy. the social media backlash was so bad that the olympics board had to make 2 official apologies because the first wasn’t good enough.
RHSS: Red Heart Super Saver is cheap Walmart-level yarn. some people hate it because it used to be just really fucking awful and they haven’t bothered updating their opinions. some people hate it because they hate non-natural yarns. some people hate it because they’re yarn snobs(which, btw, comes in two flavors: the disdainful assholes and the people who just don’t see the point if you have the money and don’t indulge yourself). a lot of people defend it because it’s cheap and widely locally available and honestly not that bad after a wash and some fabric softener.
crocheted socks: exactly what kaitoukitty said. people who crochet socks tend to either be new crocheters who are not aware crochet is not the best medium for socks or experienced crocheters who are pushing the boundaries of the medium.
babies on fire: i can’t believe we’re talking about yarncraft controversies and no one mentioned babies on fire. that’s my favorite controversy.
so when deciding what material to make baby blankets out of, in addition to considerations like softness, ease of washing, and allergy concerns quite a lot of people like to consider what would happen to the baby if the blanket was set on fire. yes, really.
wool has the problem of hand-wash only blankets for a new mother (superwash wool exists but that’s a whole ‘nother paragraph), allergy concerns, and also real fucking expensive if you want quality not-itchy-on-baby-skin wool. but pro-wool-blanket people insist that because wool actually resists being set on fire pretty well and also can self-extinguish, it’s the only sensible choice.
acrylic on the other hand is cheap and you can throw it in the washing machine, and while bad quality acrylics might be stiff and plastic-y they’re not itchy, but if it gets set on fire it will melt onto the baby’s skin. pro-acrylic people insist that if your blanket is on fire, you probably have bigger problems than what the blanket is made of.
wow I didn’t expect such a detailed response. thank you!
Fiber Arts Just Be Fucking Like That.
what hte FUCK
Reblog this and money will be entering your life this week
Jackpot
This is getting kind of ridiculous.
There are two five leaves in there somewhere
I lost count
This is the lucky clover bouquet. Reblog for seven days of good luck!
Y’all laugh but I actually end up doing pretty well once I go to work
fuck it, lets luck this shit up.
Why the hell not, I could use a little good luck right now 🍀
Agreed. Lol At this point we’ll try everything.
*pretends I’m reblogging this for fun but I’m really reblogging this because I’m super fucking paranoid*

Delivery people can be a bit impatient these days. Thankfully most things can just be left on the porch, but if anything ever needs to be signed for or taken directly, this can cause an issue for us in the Frog Household. I am in the basement and my parents are both using walkers to get around. They also don’t hear like they used to. Which means whenever a delivery person makes an attempt they are often back in their truck by the time one of us can get to the front door.
So I commissioned Chris to draw up this sign. I plan to print it out and attach it to our front door. I’m hoping it will let those delivery folks know we need a few moments to mosey. It lets them know to knock loud, wait, and to expect a barking corgi. And it’s cheaper than one of those camera doorbell thingies that help the government spy on our neighbors.

If something has to be signed for, we are only allowed 3 minutes of time for everything involved with stopping, getting to the door, waiting, and getting back to the truck and leaving. Its just the way it is.

I always say ‘get a hobby’ on here but I’m not joking get a hobby it’s literally so good for you! Like you learn something new, get to reclaim passion and interest that you thought you lost forever to mental illness, it feels nice being decent at something, and it gives you something to talk about if you’re like me and have a hard time conversing with others. And basically anything can be a hobby? You daydream a lot well now your hobby’s worldbuilding! You like going for walks now your hobby’s local sightseeing. This is a pro-hobby blog 100%
John Rhys Davies said getting a hobby saved him from becoming an alcoholic
HELL YES. If you’re in the academia hell - get a hobby. I PROMISE you’ll have time for it. Even if it’s something practical like cooking. It will do so much good for your mental health and your quality of life and your imposter syndrome.
PLEASE GET A HOBBY.
I got into the aquarium hobby. Its expensive, but its relaxing (when everything goes right). And it feeds my god complex at about the same level as god games and city building games, without staring at a screen for endless hours

I could use $1,500 so badly right now.
I kinda need that much right now. Please and thank you.
Last time I reblogged a post like this, I got an insurance payout we had previously been rejected for. Definitely reblogging.
Rebolged and family ended up covering a 1500 deposit after my car busted.
I need this badly right now
