I used to really like the ✨ emoji but now she's best friends with AI and I feel like I can't trust her anymore

[vacuously-true]

NO do NOT let them win. We can save her. We can wrest her association back from AI. She doesn't deserve this and we can't abandon her.

Male loneliness this, male loneliness that. Have they tried lobotomies? Tranquilizers? Being fingered by medical professionals? Tearing the yellow wallpaper off the walls of the attic room where your husband keeps you locked up?

“fits like a glove” as if a glove has ever fucking actually fit

[frozenthoughtbox]

You used to be able to get gloves made to measure for your own hands, which would fit ✨perfectly✨

That’s a lot harder to find nowadays, which is a shame.

Having gloves that properly fit you is a surprisingly great feeling!

It is possible to tailor them or make your own if you’re crafty and want to give sewing or leatherwork a try

Here’s a tutorial from @vincentbriggs

There’s simpler patterns and designs out there, but this gives a great example of how all the little measurements can impact the fit and each other

which is why most mass manufacturers just go with “bigger glove everyone can get their hand in and doesn’t fit anyone all that well”

[vinceaddams]

While I made my pattern to measure, that wasn't actually the case with historical leather gloves! They were manufactured in standard sizes (whether in factories or as a cottage industry) but the leather was VERY stretchy, and you could use glove stretching tools to expand parts of the fingers when necessary.

More in this post.

I think I had more trouble fitting my pattern because the modern leather I'm using is not necessarily meant for gloves, and the various hides have different and unpredictable levels of stretch. It's also thicker than most of the antique gloves I've seen, which would make it less stretchy.

Plus, I'm still relatively new at it, so I am not as familiar with the various nuances of stretch direction on a hide as someone who makes hundreds of gloves for a living would be.
