house on crow legs & the witch that lives inside.

it is important for my soul to sometimes make a little thing that is 100% whimsical, and i felt the need. i considered making the interior a mini diorama, but ended up just putting some fake moss in to make it a nest for the bee.

@elodieunderglass adorable thing with legs?

[elodieunderglass]

Oh, thank you so much! I love that the legs are articulated, what a delightful choice!!

Knitting has led me to wet block a swatch, new levels of commitment being made to yarn in this household

[ar-gemlad]

Wet blocking swatches is only useful for natural fibres (wool, cotton etc). No need to bother for acrylics.

It's also only useful if you care about how the fabric feels (drape, stiffness etc) and/or you need to make something with precise sizes.

I only tend to do it for large projects that I would hate to frog.

[hopesworth]

I see, thank you! I do tend to go for mostly natural fibers (though most I find tend to have at least 20% acrylic in there as well, I'm not sure if that affects the need for wet blocking?), but I haven't made big projects yet. My mom crocheted some wool gloves recently, but hasn't washed or blocked them yet, so I'm not sure if that would change the size and fit of them, and since we're both beginners, we hadn't given blocking a swatch any thought (I'm assuming doing that would work well for a project like gloves)

Can I ask what frogging is?

So do people realize that we aren't building new train tracks when we expand the amteak network, I have multiple times seen people say that we shouldn't expand the network because it would destroy protected lands, which would be a fair criticism but Amtrak doesn't build new tracks, we use existing tracks. We are not destroying protected lands, we are using land that has already been clear for a century

[queer-as-city-folk]

Also the alternative is more highways which destroy significantly more land for less capacity than railways. So the question is do you want to keep complaining about something that isn't happening and let the environment get damaged as a result or do you want to actually learn how things work

[catboymothman]

So, wait... Were the tracks not in use at all? Or was it like *only* commercial transport on those tracks? Either way, its good that amtrak will be able to use them again, but one would be much more frustrating

[queer-as-city-folk]

Almost all rail tracks in the US are either abandoned or only used for freight rail at the moment

[mudkipspropaganda]

Jesus, we really have no excuse for having such a lackluster rail system, do we?

[queer-as-city-folk]

Sure we do! The US government hate both rail and you personally

I think the only true conclusion one could ever draw about Sabrina carpenter from her music is that she has a kinda weird relationship with gender, where she can never truly decide if being a woman is a good & powerful thing or a bad & weakening thing, and she can never decide if that’s her own fault or the fault of the male society in which she lives. this is not a criticism to be clear: that seems like a very normal way to engage with the world to me. it’s just funny to me that the seemingly most personally revealing aspect of her music is the way she seems to have no idea how to live as a straight woman. I can’t relate to this at all because I am not a straight woman, but man does it seem accurate to the experiences of straight women that I know. Straight women sound off. If you’re out there. Straight women can you hear me? Is it that me espresso?

[angel-derangement]

girl are you trapped in there?! girl get out!! girl scream if you need help!!! this is not very that me espresso girl!!

[roycohn]

yeah i mean i've been saying this for months (sorry OP to jump on your post, it just aligns with something i've been trying to get across for a while now) but the overt, on-purpose heteropessimism of her music in combination with her vintage drag queen aesthetic and mid-century movie inspired concert visuals are all actually working together to create really interesting commentary on the current state of heterosexual womanhood. she's a lot smarter than most people give her credit for and this is all on purpose. i think a lot of people tend to assume that female artists arrive at a place of satirical or otherwise layered social commentary by accident and it's just something they're reading into it because they're smarter than the actual artist, not that it's ever something they put into the art while they were making it... but like, if you pay attention to everything she's doing and the way she presents herself when she's off-duty as opposed to in performance mode, she isn't Doing Hyperfemininity 24/7. her stage presentation is one of exaggerated hyperfeminine aesthetic performance because it's part of her commentary on how the experience of straight womanhood is basically doing 200% for men who give maybe 15% at best. she's got a whole song basically lamenting the fact that she is unfortunately a straight woman who craves dick in a world where men are fucking terrible with no real motivation to change!
