Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Some is better than none. Walking for three minutes, is better than nothing. Drinking a glass of water and eating a snack, is better than nothing. Wiping down the counter, is better than nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. Small things are not nothing. You don’t have to achieve grand things if all you’re capable of right now is the smaller things. They are still achievements. Don’t do nothing just because you don’t think you’re capable of doing bigger things, just do something you’re capable of today.

"you don't know what you have until you lose it" works for things that suck too btw. sometimes you need to experience life without something for a while to realise oh damn that was some bullshit

I was just thinking about this today talking to a friend about converting YouTube videos to mp3s to put them on our iPods and filling out the metadata stuff and adding album cover photos so it looked legit. Like you actually had to know computer stuff to do that

Would it be considered “gay” to go for a walk in the evening?

For the second time in 2 years I've been given a gunky old treadle. This one's a Bernina KL 105, which I hadn't heard of, and it's very interesting! It's a rotary machine with backstitch and drop feed, which is much more modern than any treadle I'd ever encountered before.

The model was first introduced in 1932, but this particular one was sold in 1945 to someone named Karl Seebacher, as can be seen in the manual which it still has! It was made in Switzerland and evidently sold there, as all the writing is in German and the markings are Metric. I'm very happy about the Metric markings! Someone must have moved to Canada with it somewhere along the line. I've read that these machines are more common in Europe than they are over here.

There are several different feet, and It came with a fantastic little hoop for darning socks, which I'm quite excited to try.

The machine itself is quite gunky, and has some rust spots, so I'll disassemble and clean as much as I reasonably can. I think it'll be alright. The wheel was turning very stiffly and jerkily when it arrived, and oiling everything didn't help much, but after it sat there for a couple weeks the new oil seems to have soaked in and softened things up and it's spinning quite smoothly now.

It came with two new drive belts that someone appears to have bought fairly recently, and as far as I can tell the only thing that's missing is the pair of set screws that hold the machine head to the hinges. Very odd, I can't imagine them ever falling out by themselves. Hopefully I can find replacements, but for now it's sitting in place well enough without them.

The cabinet needs a lot of work, but once the machine head is cleaned up it should be useable even before doing anything to the cabinet.

This does bring my current machine total up to 7 (5 electric, 2 treadles) but it was free and the poor thing had nowhere else to go so it's not my fault! It needed me! (Thank you @leegoguen for driving it to my place and helping me carry it upstairs!)

The warranty paper actually says that it was sold by the provider (Lieferant) Karl Seebacher in Appenzell, and it was sold to Frau (Mrs. /Ms.) Dr. Hardegger. The word after that I'm not sure about. Could be "Sanat." (Sanatorium, i.e. working in a specialized hospital) but could also be "Saisal" or "Saisont" or whatever, maybe a placename, maybe a first name or other note written in warranty, idk. The "Fr. Dr." could either mean she was the wife of a doctor or that she was a doctor herself. In fact there is a nonzero chance this was the sewing machine of Dr. Bertha Hardegger, a famous Swiss missionary doctor in Africa. She might have ordered it with other supplies from Africa, since it would definitely have been hard to find a good sewing machine there and there were other missionaries there who later worked in Canada, so this could well be the way this machine took.

Oh dang, thank you for correcting my mistake! That's fascinating!

Daily reminder to Americans on this website that American war on Iran is bad because Iranians are getting killed not because you can no longer afford going to the movies in the weekends or refill your car 😒

[hagiomoto]

Y'know what, this reminder also includes non-Americans. Let's watch our words and keep the victims of American aggressions in our heart always

[spider-xan]

'Yeah yeah, it sucks that some Iranians are going to die, but don't you know the real victims are Americans who have to deal with higher grocery and gas prices in the US?? Why are you, OP from the Global South, so mean to Americans who make themselves the centre and main victims of every US imperialist aggression??'

i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.

[maidslime]

Ok I needed to know the story and

Guy makes a really stupid decision and gets in a car accident -> no real damage from accident but insurance goes up -> starts beating himself up over his stupid decision -> gets depressed -> starts to realize he's single and had crash been worse he'd die alone -> realizes he's never had a relationship or even a crush and starts wondering what he'd want out of a relationship -> starts to realize he doesn't really like girls so he thinks he must be gay -> realizes he likes girls and boys about the same amount, so he must be bi -> later realizes that "same amount" is none at all -> he's ace
