Yarn Types and Feelings:

Worsted: Nothing to see here. This is the archetype of yarniness and I am the archetype of knitting. Stable. Secure. Can pass off hobby as casual if need be. 

Bulky: I am a WIZARD and I am making VAST amounts of cloth appear by MAGIC. You get a hat! And you get a hat! Everybody gets a hat! Also my scarf is now 18 ft long but that’s just…you know. For fun. 

Baby/Sport: I am making littol things. Every stitch represents tender love. Yes I did listen only to horror podcasts while making this but what does that matter? There’s a lace flower but a baby’s existence is all about showing off what you can make, just because I’m not a parent doesn’t mean I can’t be part of that.

Sock/Fingering: Completely unhinged. Every project is the building of an obsession-washed edifice, that will never, ever, ever be done. Time ceases to exist. Worse podcasts must be found, worse movies must be found, because the most important parts of the brain must serve THE PATTERN.

Lace/Thread: [content locked until level 32]

Literally the only reason more jobs weren’t already “work from home” is that companies think people will be less productive if they have more privacy and comfort which is just so, so, so fucking insulting. No job that can be done on a computer should require a physical office. None at all. All that shit should be abolished and then just imagine how much time, money, fuel and space would be collectively saved. Holy shit. How many people were commuting to work every day for cubicle shit?? How much CO2 was that?? How much total land do office complexes take up right now that could be cheap housing or sky gardens or solar power banks or literally anything more useful?

And even if they were teens, so what??? But yes to all of this.

[jewblog]

not even so what if they’re teens—my mom was working minimum wage at 13 (she lied about her age) to help put food on the table; millions of teenagers today are forced to do the same thing.

Trump suggests delay to 2020 US election

The US president cites concern over mail-in voting, despite little evidence of widespread fraud.

Yall, I don’t want to be alarmist but…. that’s… concerning. 

[fandomsandfeminism]

McConnell, other top Republicans say Election Day isn't moving after Trump floated delay

Top Republicans, including Mitch McConnell, immediately pushed back on the idea - floated by Trump earlier Thursday - that Election Day be d

Well, and least we got this about of it. Even Ted Cruz had to slam on the damage control brakes.

[fandomsandfeminism]

I just want to clarify- even though McConnell and other republicans have slammed on the “NO NO NO we aren’t doing that” brakes- we should still be concerned. 

Between this and Trump’s refusal to commit to election results, he is deliberately undermining his base’s trust in the electoral process. By citing “voter fraud” as his reason to try to delay the election, now even though the election WILL happen on time, if (when) he loses, he can claim that the election was illegitimate- that it was voter fraud, that he warned us, that he knew it was rigged, that Congress didn’t do enough to stop all the ~fraud~ that he knew was there, and he will refuse to step aside peacefully. 

He has been placing armed mercenaries in major American cities run by democratic mayors, and he is laying the groundwork to claim that the election is illegitimate if (when) he loses. 

You need to vote, so that both the Electoral College and the Popular vote are against him, and when this asshole finally breaks the tradition of the peaceful transition of power (which is what he is planning), when you need to be willing to protest and fight more than you ever have before. 

Like, I do not want to be an alarmist here, but we could be looking at like… Congress having to send in armed men to remove this man from office, and depending how the Republicans in power and his base handle that, we could be looking at a level of violence in the transition of power that is literally unheard of in the US.   

[randomslasher]

^^^^^^ This. 

This si why you vote blue even if you’re in a scarlet state with no hope of winning the electoral college. 

This is why you vote for Biden even if you loathe him with every fiber of your being. 

This is it. 

If we are to have any hope of maintaining a fair system and avoiding an all-out dictatorship, the numbers have to be absolutely unambiguous. 

Go. Vote. Blue. 

[spacefaggot1]

Fuck. Joe. Biden.

[fandomsandfeminism]

Look, YES fuck Joe Biden. And I know that asking people to vote for a shitty option because the other viable option is FAR worse is hardly convincing. I know. 

But a vote for Joe Biden isn’t just a vote against Trump. It’s also a vote for all the positions that Biden would get to fill, rather than leave Trump’s people (like Barr and DeVos) in charge. 

It’s also a vote for all the judges Biden would appoint (Which is likely at LEAST 1 Supreme Court pick.)

 It’s a vote for all of the 700+ positions that the President appoints and Senate confirms (Not just being generally better than Trump’s picks, but ACTUALLY GETTING FILLED. Trump still had over 170 unfilled appointments as of this year.)

And honestly, at this point, it’s also a vote that says “You shouldn’t get to undermine our electoral process and threaten the peaceful transition of power and STAY IN POWER.” 

Joe Biden is a bad candidate, and I wish we had gotten nearly anyone else. But I do believe that he’s a candidate who like… generally respects our political process, who could competently staff an administration, who could be reasoned with and compromised with, and who isn’t going to try to crown himself Emperor. Biden probably won’t spend hours a day on Twitter instead of like, reading security briefings.  It SUCKS that we have to aim as low as “isn’t literally trying to power grab himself a dictatorship” but the other option is to forfeit your vote and let the dictator get reelected.

So please, for the love of fuck, can we try to temper our disappointment with pragmatism? We should always vote for the best possible option, even if the best possible option is kinda shitty. 

[mini-golf-champion]

As if having a corpse with puppet strings in the office would make things any better. Theres seriously enough resentment towards both major parties that a third party or independent candidate could actually stand a chance if die-hard party-liners could think for themselves.

[fandomsandfeminism]

1. Having Biden, as much of a rat bastard as he is, is absolutely better than Trump, and if you can’t see that then you are lacking in perspective. If for no other reason than Biden, at a minimum, will like… respect the checks and balances of government and not clumsily hint at a coup leading up to his reelection. It’s a low bar, but an important one.

2. No there isn’t. There is no third party in this country that even comes close to winning a SINGLE STATE, much less the entire Electoral College. If you want to see more third party representation, then between now and 2024, you need to campaign HARD for Ranked Ballots and abolishing the EC. But if you honest to God think that any third party has enough support to be viable RIGHT NOW, you are out of your mind.

House:

Senate:

THIS is not a political landscape where your dark horse miracle third party candidate is going to win, and it’s naive to think so. (Also WHO? Which third party candidate do you think enough people could possibly rally behind?)

I’m sorry. It’s not fair that your choices are Joe Biden and the End of American Democracy.  But guess fucking what? That’s the choice you get this year. Make it, and then fight like hell to reform our electoral system so you never have to make a choice so rotten again.

[purlgirl]

If you STILL won't vote for Joe Biden then honestly fuck you.

[iameverysparklywoman]

one thing i do want to say though is i think as h*mosexual women but also just as women in general is that we need to recognize that “i’m not performing for men” is only one half of the picture. maybe you don’t want men’s approval but how much do you need women’s acceptance? how much are you smoking and drinking and doing coke and running and dieting and posting about forgetting to eat and performing other kinds of violence for the approval of other women? how much pressure do women put on you to negate the features of your body or your race or your sexuality or anything else…can you get away with stimming around other women? can you get away with not shaving? can you be around your female friends and feel fat without saying “i feel fat” so no one would mistake you for not punishing yourself for what is (erroneously) assumed to be a “transgression” of the body? can you look ugly and know that the female store clerk or the barista or the girl at the sink next to you or the girl on the bus with you or the girl with you on the elevator on the girl you have to squeeze past in the lecture hall to get out of the aisle will be kind and respectful to you and not act disgusted. can you be around your female family members without them commenting on your body? so much masochism and violence remain normalized among women because we say “well I’m not doing it for men, so it’s my choice” but how much are you doing out of a fear of women? 

[iameverysparklywoman]

and thats how things like makeup and shaving get baked into “feminist” rhetoric because we forget the degree to which feminity is enforced by other women, not men. so even for people who have no stake at all in being appealing to men…there’s still the threat of being punished by women. and every post that’s critical of makeup or whatever that ends up with reblogs that say things like “learn to do eyeliner ugly” or whatever stupid shit just proves that. we’re out here doing the same things we’ve always done we’ve just replaced “attracting men” with “placating other women” 

[st0nk]

And the thing is, for people who aren’t cisgendered, this internalized expectation reinforces the thought that fitting into the perceived gender binary or trying to remove yourself is how you achieve “being” trans, NB or otherwise. We are not incomplete people if we have not reached a transition through hormones and expensive and invasive surgeries. We are complete as we exist today, every other day we can take the steps we want to. Transition or not, we are complete.

[valtsv]

i hate it when people ask me to "explain my thought process" like hell if i know

[valtsv]

"what's going on in that head of yours?" nothing i want to be a part of

[feralseraph]

as a society, i think we need to bring back memento mori. 

see, if the next time you’re buying a honeybun from circle k and you’re worried if the cashier is judging your snack choice, you can look at your ring with a skull on it and think, “oh, that’s right. i’ll be dead one day, so this random person’s opinion about my sugar consumption does not matter in the long run.”

free yourself. remember that you will die.

if someone decides that they no longer want to support someone based on their actions that’s not ‘cancel culture’ that’s a) their right as a consumer and a person and b) literally just someone experiencing consequences for their actions like it’s not some new thing that the sjws came up with recently

people when nixon got impeached: wtf this happened so long ago and he literally apologized. cancel culture is so toxic

I love the carefully intertwined urban legends in which antifa are dangerous radicals coming to shoot your livestock and trash your community but also limp wristed colorful haired gender nonconforming soyboys and girls who couldn’t possibly pose a physical threat and they’re funded by Soros in cash and drugs but he also doesn’t pay them because he’s sneaky and they’re suckers and they’re black but they’re also white and they’re poor but actually they’re spoiled rich kids and they’re hot then they’re cold they’re yes then they’re no they’re in and they’re out they’re up and they’re down
