in my ongoing efforts to a) make a bunch of four-ply, and b) not waste any singles length, i am coming up with increasingly unhinged ways of Still getting four strands after one or more of my bobbins runs out.

after much experimentation, i’ve come up with the following process:

four singles: easy. four lengths of singles, one for each ply. three on a lazy kate, one on my wheel’s integrated bobbin holder, done.

three singles: still pretty easy. turn one of your remaining bobbins into a plying bracelet. this gives you two ends from one length of single. that, plus the lengths from the other two bobbins, makes four plies.

two singles: now we’re cooking. where we go from here depends on whether your plying bracelet ran out, or one of the other bobbins ran out:

a) two bobbins: chain ply one single, while simultaneously plying with the other. the chain ply gives you three plies, and the additional single makes it up to four. a fun discovery i’ve made with this is that it doesn’t actually make a difference which single you pull through the loop in the process of chain plying - you can essentially alternate which of the singles you chain, as long as you’re only ever pulling one single through the loop at a time and letting the other single ply normally. (you can also do (b) below with two bobbins, but this is way is much less of a hassle.)

b) one bobbin and one plying bracelet: turn your remaining bobbin into a second plying bracelet, on the other wrist to the current plying bracelet. now you have two ends of singles from each wrist, for four plies total. this is exactly as much of a nightmare to control as it sounds, especially if your singles have a lot of twist in them. good luck!! you’re going to need it :) also, probably turn your wheel’s tension up a bit. that helps.

one single: advanced technique for the truly deranged only. turn your single into a plying bracelet, and then do as (a) above - one end of the plying bracelet chain plied, with the other end allowed to ply normally, for a total of four plies from a single length of single. definitely turn your wheel’s tension up. laugh directly into the face of the uncaring void as reality bends to your will. also, time how long it takes for everything to become hopelessly tangled. if it’s more than a minute, you have Won Spinning. congrats!!

#i am slightly afraid to ask but #at the point of One Single why not just make a plying bracelet and then use that to make a plying bracelet again #(i do this often for nonsilk fibres)#(silk refuses to behave in even One plying bracelet)#like take the two (now doubled) ends of ur first plying bracelet and then make a second one that will feed u a fourply #if u can make a first plying bracelet u can make a second.

#i am inclined 2 disagree #i feel like for me the most salient narrative arcs of the odyssey r #''hey wldn't it be fucked up if the gods did this to a guy''#and also #''u don't gotta die 2 attain glory. sometimes u can just Come Home''#the second one v much influenced by the gregory nagy greek hero in 24 hours kleios/nostos iliad/odyssey paradigm #anyway i don't identify as a classicist but i do have Feelings about the odyssey

Confessions of a Smalltown Priest

Part 1: Penance

Trying to escape the boredom of 1980's small town life, Cliff entertains himself by scandalising the new priest with his secret exploits as a gay sex worker. He's blindsided when Father Eugene rises to the challenge with unexpected kindness and openness, and Cliff finds himself chasing the older man's attention with fervor. Faced with serious temptation for the first time in years, Father Eugene struggles to keep his composure - and his vows…

This pdf neatly collects the entire first part of their story including many adult scenes and extra artworks that were previously patreon only.

#ahhh i just read this and it is super gorgeous #the style and the references at the end pleased me so greatly #(there's even a butterick pattern envelope page!! So Good)#and gay priest friendship!!! so so good #as a home of sexual trans of gender ex-catholic trying 2 figure out his relation to the church #(still actively serving in Bereavement Ministry bc the Choir Needs Help)#this was so nourishing

need a lesbian who's ev— (remembers i don't believe in evil) — need a lesbian whose material conditions incentivize her to be mean to me

Those are, in fact, material condition that incentivize a lesbian towards cruelty

I wanna say farm life sims are ridiculous, but honestly if a butch girl who ran a farm talked to me every day and gave me flowers twice a week I’d be sucking her cock by summer
