August should be in Autumn. Fucking ridiculous that it isn't.

[white-flutterby]

I mean it’s winter here (southern hemisphere) but I agree, August is and Autumn month like spiritually, emotionally

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

In fairness this winter does feel like autumn. Some of the trees still haven't dropped their leaves because the climate is fucked.

Quilt guild president: the summer quilt challenge. As you know it is the 250th anniversary-

Guild: -chilly silence-

President: so the challenge to you all is a quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current “democracy”

Guild: 👏👏👏

President: I know this bunch. I am sure you will come up with something spectacular, and it will probably get angrier as the summer progresses. Full quilt, mini quilt. Go wild, release some emotions.

How I spent my July 4th.

Appliqué almost done. Then onward to the background stitching

[theprofessional-amateur]

At the start I thought stitching “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” for the last quarter would be therapeutic

I was correct.

Close to finishing the top. Now I gotta figure out how I want to quilt it.

[theprofessional-amateur]

I have one more line of embroidery and I think it needs to be bolder and messier than I started it.

Hard to tell in this light, and without ironing it, that the embroidery does get gradually bolder as it goes. Two strands at the top versus 5 at the bottom (6 for the started to be redone final line).

Not bad for first time doing appliqué.

Still need to decide how I want to quilt it.

@queerasaurolophus thank you for this. It is exactly what I was going for 💜

I think we should figure out what age we’re living in now so we can say how it’s collapsing to each other

Our age of plastics is collapsing

Our age of information is collapsing! *remembers generative AI, nods to self* our age of information is collapsing.

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this

Met my house renovation quota AND my Void Behind quota today. That never happens.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#completely whiffed on your Self Care quota didn’t you?

Actually I took a shower and ate two entire meals today (a piece of raisin toast counts as a meal), so there.

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

#I’m guessing raisin toast means toast with raisins in the bread (like in the dough and baked) in which case absolutely delicious#but my brain has supplied just a plain piece of toast with a flat sheet of rolled-thin raisins on top#like roof shingles#and I think this is a bad idea#but I also want to try…

Fun fact, I make my own raisin bread (in the bread machine, I don't have the patience to make bread by hand) and when I started I went looking for a recipe for the bread, but because I only use raisin bread for toast and I only ever see other people use it the same I tend to use the two terms synonymously so I googled raisin toast recipes.

Duckduckgo gave me 'recipes' for putting raisin bread in the toaster and spreading butter on it.

[fourmsandasilentq]

Can you share the raisin toast bread recipe you actually use?

The way all the 2020s have done so far have been making me categorically against every new generation of tech that comes out is insane. Like I'm from a technological boom generation, saw the first portable phones, nokias & blackberries & flipphones etc, and the first smartphones, and the first ipods & ipads & tablets in general while still having cassettes & DVD & MP3 players around so I know how all of it work, I had computer classes in high school, I did the transition between home desktop computers to laptops and back to gaming computers. But then they started to put internet in your printer & microwave, everything has ads & AI now and every update is worst than the last. I literally loved technology and they ruined it
