[ravenclaw-jedi]

Hello! I figured I should share some fun facts about myself now that I’ve actually started being more active on here

You can refer to me as Raven, Ravenclaw, or Jedi (someone also called me Padi-Wizard and I loved that so honestly just anything that isn’t mean I’m fine with)

I am 20 years old

My pronouns are she/her but I’m good with they/them too

My favorite color is green (if you couldn’t tell)

I’m Bisexual and AroAce spectrum (ik those aren’t the exact colors but close enough)

Some fandoms I’m apart of:

🌿EPIC: The Musical, 🏒Heated Rivalry (I have not read any of the books tho), ✨Star Wars, 🕷️Marvel, 🦇Batman (but only through fandom I’ve never consumed canon), 🦁The Chronicals of Narnia, and 🚀🌌 Project Hail Mary (currently reading it)

I enjoy 📖reading, ✍️writing, 🥾hiking, 🏕️camping, 🧶crocheting, and 🍿movie marathons and I occasionally do 📸photography

I am currently in college for my degree in Secondary English Education

I love animals and my family has 5 cats and 2 dogs

Here I usually just reblog and every once in a while make a post :) so enjoy my weird mish-mash of posts

Feel free to message or ask me anything (appropriate) I just might not respond right away

test weaving of penelope's tapestry on the chiusi skyphos:

reference:

there are some adjustments I need to make for tension, but I'd like to make the next version into a header band for a warp-weighted loom so I can try weaving the whole pot, including telemachus and penelope.

[aeide]

progress?

the proportions on the header band have improved, but I think I maybe should have doubled the weft threads for the warp.

also if anyone wants to knit the heddles for me, please be my guest. the last time I tied on heddles, I put the bar in the wrong place and had to redo the whole thing.

[aeide]

in true penelope fashion, I may need to unweave and start over, but at least now I've got the loom weights and heddles in place.

I started weaving the spear, penelope, and the right border via double-weave with the intent to leave the remaining warp threads unwoven (as they would be on penelope's loom on the pot), but predictably this is giving me tension problems. I either need to increase the loom weights or just weave the black layer and leave the orange warp threads unwoven, and then switch colors once I get to the heddle bars in the drawing, with the black warp threads floating on top. (I guess weft-faced tapestry would be a third option, if I add a ton more tension.)

either way, this is going to take me the full three years of penelope's stratagem, or perhaps the entire twenty years of odysseus's absence, primarily because clearing the sheds takes a monumental effort each time with this double-weave setup (which I'm not even sure is how it's supposed to be done, I kind of set it up based on vibes and what I thought made sense from floor loom setups).

[aeide]

I have 999 problems and warp tension is 997 of them (the other two are my selvedges).

kind of weird how parts of your soul are left in various locations without any warning… like yes i’m always at the top of that hill, sitting at the bus stop, in the cool light of the Japanese restaurant, standing at the pier etc etc

an important reminder as ‘4th of July’ rolls around

[cielleduciel]

here’s the site this came from so that people can see and examine the details for themselves. contains links to documents and related treaties. there seems to be a LOT of information here.

also might be worth looking at this map alongside it?

do you live in seattle (the american city)?

yes

no

Remaining time: 3 hours 42 minutes

please reblog to get this poll out of my bubble, i want reach

[3liza]

so ive been meaning to do this poll for a while because my hypothesis is that seattle is the most Tumblr city, likely in the entire world. tumblr has a huge american majority userbase obviously, but just for comparison going forward, only 0.22% of the american population lives in seattle. as of this reblog, this poll is showing 4% of respondents are seattleites. given, this isnt scientific at all, because my blog just has a lot of seattle connections and seattle followers, but it's still an impressive bias

I feel like I need to share this because idk if Europeans are familiar with the presence of Aldi in the US, but at least especially in my area they’ve been growing a lot recently. Like Aldi bought out some local failing grocery chains where I live (Louisiana) and have opened Aldis in all these somewhat rural communities and small towns, which for the record I’m fine with

But as a result of this they are advertising a lot more in my area and also in many cases, the people in these areas have never been confronted with Aldi or any European grocery store. So the ads that Aldi is pushing out to its new US customer base feature a cowboy shopping at Aldi who is explaining to new Aldi customers how Aldi works. Like this cowboy is explaining you gotta put a quarter in the shopping cart and why there are very little name brands. A cowboy is how they want to reach their American customer base. They gave us a cowboy

Here he is, the Aldi Cowboy
