Sunshine and silliness

Books, history, sci fi and fantasy, and the beautiful and cheerful. Chronically ill.

OK I need to stop starting new WIPS and finish some existing ongoings. So for each of these projects I finish....

1. the green and white blanket I am crocheting

2. The cosy scarf I am knitting

3. The shawl I am knitting (I started this in 2024.)

4. A set of placemats (knit) and matching coasters (crochet)

5. The flowery jumper I am crocheting

...I get one of the following rewards, in order!

1. The next book in the detective series I have been reading

2. A cake and coffee in a nice cafe

3. A professional massage

4. A weekend trip with friends

5. More yarn. (We all knew this was the ultimate goal.)

graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge

[going2hell4everythingbutbeingbi]

sorry didn't realize the bridge has to be plain beige concrete. that was a load bearing plain beige concrete if anyone tags it the whole bridge collapses
