Once more for the people in the back:
Put content warnings on your politics posts. I come to Mastodon specifically to avoid the horrible things in the news.
I don't care how urgently you want me to see it. In fact, adding a content warning will make me *more* likely to care, because it will give me time to brace myself.
@DialMforMara @Teryl_Pacieco Moving this thread over here as part of a "rebrand" that will require me to redirect my Shop account to a new one
Maybe that'll push me to actually use this account for knitting stuff
@Teryl_Pacieco The one element of the story I haven't been able to work in is the "soft glow for the moon"
The star beads glow, and the whole shawl is a crescent, but I don't have a glowing moon
Maybe what I do is just a whole row of beaded stitches at the end of the night section
y'all you know the fancy pokemon dress shirts

I NEED THE JIGGLYPUFF AND WIGGLYTUFF ONES EXTREMELY BADLY
#knitting update: just finished adding beads to the @Teryl_Pacieco shawl
got about 5 more rows in the section though
progress photo tomorrow when I finish that

the goat has not yet been burned, this is the longest period where neither goat has been burned, and this is also being a terrible set of years.
obviously the solution is to burn the goat
My writing teacher years ago: You neglect the senses other than sight, you need to work on that in your descriptions.
Me now, adding smells: ...wait can robots smell?

Someone on twitter is working on a project about medical gatekeeping of trans people, so if you are on twitter and have experience with that you might want to reach out: https://twitter.com/transscribe/status/1341452266386169857
@makegodgayagain To which I’d add... don’t be afraid to ask people for CWs but do try to be polite and considerate about it, especially if you’re coming from a place of privilege. But if someone’s being an ass about it don’t be afraid to report them. Moderators are human beings and there’s more room for nuanced response than you’d get on a commercial platform.
Looks like Amazon is retiring the Goodreads API, which just another step towards basically abandoning Goodreads and folding it into some other Amazon service I guess: https://joealcorn.co.uk/blog/2020/goodreads-retiring-API
My advice? Get off Goodreads while you still can (ie export your content) and move over to StoryGraph: https://beta.thestorygraph.com
A black-owned startup finally developing a viable alternative to Goodreads. Fuck yeah!
(Why not LibraryThings? Because, guess what.. it’s also owned by Amazon!)
