deriding things as performative is anti third space

[houndmother]

im sitting on a patio at my favorite cafe rn and im hand stitching them hem of a dress im working on. and i can see why someone would say im being performative by working on something like this in a public space. but frankly theres no element of that. i just want to work somewhere that isnt my apartment. i want to be in public, i wanna chat with strangers, i wanna see the world. it’s nice to hang out somewhere that isnt my home!

[houndmother]

what i mean is when you say people are being performative you discourage them from doing shit they love in public. and thats no way to foster the world we want to see.

TdF Day 16

many colors spun thicc

also did coffee/muffin/spindling out and about which was very nice. I made it to 9 whole grams on the supported spindle (total, over all of tdf thus far 😂) but I’m spinning potentially a 3ply laceweight? maaaaybe a light fingering so this will in fact take Forever but I will enjoy every moment of that forever.

[spin-the-wheel-polls]

Hello. Since I've seen people submit finished wheels, I thought I'd submit a wheel I came up with. In this case, it's a wheel to tell you something that you can't do for a week.

https://wheelofnames.com/kch-gkt

this is a really really cool idea! Thanks!!!

You can't do this for a week!

How bad is this for you?

Its great! I can live with this

I already don't do this

It'll be annoying but I'll be fine

VERY BAD.

a free step-by-step of twenty four hitomezashi sashiko patterns! not just photos of finished products, but like step one: all the horizontals / step two: all the verticals are all laid out 🤩

please ignore the old dates, it's totally still functional (I am on day two of receiving emails, June 2026).

[dangerphd]

so, this ended up being awesome! and I really felt like I was ready to tackle bigger projects once I finished it.

which led to playing around with this tool

and remembering I can print a design and a dot grid on any light-colored fabric smaller than 8.5x11" using sticker paper and an inkjet...and now looking at fancy examples for inspo...I kinda wanna make windsock style banners?! koinobori style... but some other animal(s) maybe?

what is it with able bodied people saying “get well soon” after you say that you’re chronically ill?? like? i am not gonna? and i once literally responded with “i’m not gonna, it’s chronic, as in permanent.” and they went like “oh well, hope you get better!” like bro 💀

[marypenelope]

Speaking for me personally (and also as someone who has their own chronic health issues), most of it is, as someone mentioned in the replies, script failure. Humans have a lot of scripts and shorthands for social interactions, and the most common one for finding out someone is ill or injured is to wish them a swift recovery. There isn't really a script for how to respond when someone won't recover tho, and so many people end up falling back on the script they do know even if it's not really applicable.

In my own personal experience, when I end up saying - or feeling the impulse to say - 'get well soon' to someone with a chronic condition, what I'm really trying to convey is something more along the lines of 'I hope your good days outnumber the bad ones', and 'I hope you find treatment that is effective for and accessible to you', and especially 'hey the fact that you are in pain sucks and I wish you weren't but I know that's not likely to change soon but also I hope that it will anyway because I hate to see people suffering and the 5-year-old inside me is insisting it's not fair even though the adult me knows that's not how it works but anyway the point is I hope you're in as little pain as it's possible for you to be in'. All of which is quite a bit harder to fit on a greeting card than 'get well soon', and which don't have any conveinent shorthands that will let me express those sentiments in a concise, understandable manner.

[i-say-stupid-things]

thank you so much for explaining this! i saw the “script failure” reply but didn’t really understand what that meant & also didn’t have the time before to further ask.

but this actually makes sense and i think i’ll try to just take it to mean things like that whenever someone wishes me well/a swift recovery now! again, thank you so much!!

[edenfenixblogs]

This is such a good interaction from everyone involved and now the world is a little better because people understand each other better.

This is so good. All interactions should be this.

[piedude]

Good job everyone, let's hit the showers

[freeandclear3567]

Can we put in a new scripted line? Like perhaps- hope you stabilize soon!

[bronzeagecrafts]

Finished another thing! Left is Frau Wöllfchen „Dancing Alone“ alpaca/silk, right is Regenbogenwolle „Bittersweet“ merino/alpaca/camel/silk blend. Think these together could make a really cute cropped striped cardigan??

[liizardwiizard]

i love knitting socks and it does bother me when people tell me they are too beautiful to wear bc like. that is the point. im spending time making this thing to keep your feet warm and protected. yes my knitting is art but its also practical. yes it may wear out or rip but its a sock! they are meant to do that. all fabric wears out eventually and id rather someone wear holes in the objects i make and then throw them out when they are not useful as socks anymore then have them sit behind glass on display
