If you’re having a day, and the universe seems overwhelming, might I recommend the Steven Universe soundtrack?

is a young person in your life at risk of exposure to ayn rand?

give them a copy of _the dispossessed_. you may save them years or an entire lifetime.

Hey #Yarnuary people! The hashtag poll has produced a result that’s been consistent for days and days: #fiberarts

So, go forth and tag your #fiberarts accordingly come February, plus any other tags that might be appropriate, like #needlefelting or #knitting or #sprang or, you know, whatever it is you’re doing.

Do people want me to come up with general optional monthly themes? Because I can continue to do that somewhat indefinitely if people would like (I might recycle them eventually).

Correction:

🎶You can snooze if you want to
don't leave those dreams behind
tho if you slept real good
and then you don't snooze
well, you'll get to work on time. 🎶

Here's a poll for people who want to continue #yarnuary indefinitely:

Let's pick a hashtag that won't keep changing!

I have some other questions about themes/challenges, but they can wait until another day.

Please boost if you know people who do fiber arts on Mastodon who might not have been doing #yarnuary.

limited lives and continues are a relic of arcade games, where they existed to draw new quarters into the machines. They never really had a place in home gaming except to add artificial difficulty and punish experimentation, and should really be gone from consoles and computers entirely by this point, but inertia and "that's how it was when I was a kid so that's how it should be now" are powerful forces.

This is a reminder that your library might have patterns for your #Textiles #fiberarts #crossstitch #quilt

Your occasional reminder that we smashed the divine right of kings, and one day we'll smash capitalism, too.

In celebration of Mario Tennis for the Switch....

Dear Internet: this is your fault. #chickensoftwitter #chickens
