there's a jewish story about a rich man who goes to his rabbi to ask him about building an orphanage, and the rabbi is like "yeah duh go for it!!" and then later the rich guy comes back and is like "actually I've decided not to... I was just doing it for my own image and not coz I cared about orphans" and the rabbi was like "bitch the orphans don't care why you're building the orphanage!!!" and sometimes I wish I could say that to lefties who haven't unpacked their christian upbringing. sometimes motives don't matter!! who give a fuck why a politician wants to do a good thing? bitch the orphans don't!!

Are lace-makers ever struck by the realisation that all the holes were already there before they started?

The Yarn Harlot, in one of her older blog posts musing on negative space in art in general, described knitting lace as "putting yarn around important and select parts of air".

I think about that every time I work on a lace project.

It is still sooooooo fucking funny that tumblr, the "fuck that old man" website, the villain apologist website, AND the paranormal boyfriend website read Dracula and went "Count Dracula sucks, we hate this dude." Planetary alignment levels of unlikely.

People in the USA should be reading foreign news.

This is what they did to a Canadian

Quebec man warning Canadian boaters after he was detained by U.S. Coast guard, put in jail cell

A Quebec man says he is outraged after the U.S. Coast Guard accused him of fishing in American waters and then arrested him before putting him in a jail cell for nearly two hours.

Edouard Lallemand, 60, said he nearly drowned during the ordeal last Sunday afternoon after the Coast Guard’s boat “pushed” his boat, causing it to capsize.

Days after the incident, he’s still shaken up.

“I’m never going to be the same,” he told CTV News.

Seconding that Americans should read and seek out foreign news. Seriously. The BBC, the CBC, the Guardian app, GroundNews, whatever. Stop relying on fucking.... the NYT or MSNBC or whatever y'all are watching.

People aren't traveling to the US. Even Forbes is reporting a 29 billion dollar loss to your tourism industry for this year. And literally everyone outside of the US is like "yeah of course that tracks, I keep reading news stories about citizens from my country being detained when they go there".

(to say nothing of the incredible anger amongst Canadians for the annexation threats and tariffs attempting to create economic pressure to capitulate to the orange one's bullshit, let alone stories like what happened to the man in the story linked above. We are NOT taking our tourism dollars south anytime soon)

Begging Americans to learn about the world outside of the US.

Also that you're half-arsing it. You either couldn't be bothered to, or were unable to, employ an artist to showcase your product. Why would anyone trust that you have competently made your product.

AI advertising automatically makes your product look like a scam because we're flooded with scams that put zero budget into advertising (because the profit margin on any given scam is likely to be razor-thin and the goal is scam volume as automated as possible). If you won't invest a moderate amount in advertising, people will assume that either you don't know what you're doing, you don't care about what you're doing, you don't believe in what you're doing, or you're deliberately trying to scam people.

The green M&M is too sexy.

Now she's not sexy enough.

Now she's too feminist and woke.

It's the same stupid-ass people. And they have the gall, the nerve, the fucking scrote... to call leftists snowflakes... when they get this pissy about PERFORMATIVE BRAND MARKETING.
