I’m curious - #FinishOrFrogAlong folk is there a type of project (relevant to your craft) that you’ve never made and likely never will? For me it’s gloves - I knit hand warmers and mittens on a fairly regular basis but never gloves. The prospect of fiddling about with 8 fingers, on top of the thumbs, gives me the nope. So no matter how lovely the pattern looks I never make them.

@kerravonsen@mastodon.au @anikeaten@kind.social I don’t always make toys for children. I make amigurumi toys for adults as gifts - usually tiny ones that can go on their desk/dresser and are tailored to their interests. I guess that makes them more ornaments than toys though

I need an app designed for people who have zero knowledge, skill or talent for cooking (me, that people is me) - I want one that gives flavour balancing suggestions. Like I could select a couple of ingredients I have and the app would then suggest other ingredients that would go well with those flavours. And preferably let me favourite ingredients I love and exclude ones I hate (or can’t eat for medical reasons).

Is that a thing?

On this week’s episode of “Oh. Yeah that was the Tism wasn’t it?”:

In 2 conversations with 2 different friends

1) remembering the teacher who handed me a newspaper clipping about the film Slacker saying “I think this might be your problem”.
In the clipping he’d highlighted a section referring to characters as “highly intelligent but emotionally stunted”.

Yeah, Mr Coogan the term you were grasping for was #Autistic or #AuDHD and this was not the way to address it with a 16 year old girl

Treated myself to an icord tool. Just knocked up an icord glasses chain in a little over half an hour and now I’m looking around for things to icord 😊

I found it much easier to tolerate the tedium that is April Fool’s Day before I became housebound.

I was fortunate to work somewhere where most people weren’t burdened with an overinflated estimation of their own comedic talent and I could just stay off the internet.

Now the internet is my only link to the outside world, so my choices are either a day of complete isolation or feeling like I’ve been trapped in the Ankh Morpork Fool’s Guild

@mullvadnet Let me guess - the verification will be done by Palantir? Really not enjoying feeling like I’m living in Alan Moore’s fever dream

RE: @rania40@mastodon.social

Getting a feel for a culture through its dance is one of my favourite things.

It’s bittersweet to enjoy this from a culture that’s under siege from those who want to wipe it away

@realtegan @rasmus91 @cambria @jillL @inthehands This. I didn’t bother to fact check, so take it with a grain of salt - but I’ve often seen it said that Dolly Parton could be a billionaire based on her earnings, but the reason she’s “only” a millionaire is because she gives a lot through charities and her reading foundation and so on. Which seems like what reasonable people would do, because hoarded billions are useless.

@KaCi@autistics.life I always assumed that it was just a case of me finding the energy/confidence to walk away from a bad situation as I came out of the winter depression - and I’m sure that was a factor. But it’s also possible that an uptick in impulsiveness could be a factor too. My usual pattern is to be unhappy, but trying to work through the issues in the relationship, for months and then suddenly go “fuck this” (sometimes literally, out loud) and *immediately* walk away. And pretty much never look back

@KaCi@autistics.life I do have seasonally affective disorder so my focus has always been on the depression I get in the winter, it has more obvious and medical type symptoms. But now you’ve just mentioned this and I’m thinking about the fact that every major romantic relationship I’ve ever had has both started and ended in either March, April or May and…

I don’t expect many other people are likely to be watching the Death in Paradise Xmas special at the end of March.

But if you are considering it, I should warn you - it contains one of the deadliest earworms I’ve encountered for a long time. Proceed with caution (unless, of course, you enjoy singing the same jingle over and over for days)

I promised myself that I’d only play through the #Solasta2 early access once per major update - so as to avoid being played out on the start of the game before the full release.

I finished my first playthrough yesterday and uninstalled it, vowing not to reinstall until there’s a major update (ie new classes or features, rather than tweaks/fixes).

I’m already feeling tempted to reinstall and play again 😀

@ChrisMayLA6@zirk.us @JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social 25 years ago I failed at the last interview stage for the Civil Service Fast Track programme. The rejection letter said that I’d performed very well in nearly every part of the recruitment process but I was being rejected because - I kid you not - the interview had demonstrated the strength of my commitment to my ethics & values. Never been so happy to fail in my life.

It would be nice to think that seeing the felon-in-chief go full, mask-off, toddler tantrum in front of the whole world would shame the US establishment into doing something about him.

To be clear I don’t think that, but it would be nice to.

I’m old enough to remember when failure to conceal an affair or drug use was enough to end a political career and they’d resign if they knew they’d embarrassed their nation.

Although I am starting to wonder if I dreamed it

Look I figured I wasn’t actually getting to ascend to Divinity at the Well. But Dallis popping up and cutscening me so abruptly still felt upsetting. I mean I didn’t even get to loot Alexander’s body.

Also I’m in Arx now and I think I might have accidentally sold a piece of the Devourer’s set. Somewhere. At some point. I have 2 pieces now and I’m almost certain that I had 3 at one point 😳

Damn my obsessive inventory management

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social I get what they meant - the job is to implement the policies of the government of the day, regardless of if those policies are awful. But the fact that they basically said flat out “you have too much integrity to work here” is kind of stunning. I wonder if it was the same round of recruitment you looked at - I’m trying to think back and I’m guessing it was probably in the latter half of 99 (i have a great memory for events/words but not for when in time they happened)

@JugglingWithEggs@mstdn.social Yes I could’ve been helpful in terms of addressing inconsistencies, unintended consequences & organisational issues etc. But when push came to shove if I’d ended up in a department responsible for implementing abhorrent policies (eg Home Office) I would have resigned. That’s assuming I wasn’t fired first (bearing in mind not long after that time I got busy with being a trade union rep, anti-war protests, Palestine Solidarity protests, feminism, Cuba Solidarity etc etc 😀)
