Looking for people on mastodon which toot #vegan japanese-ish recipes (in either Japanese, English, French or German).
I'd appreciate a nudge, if you know any :).

A little while back I wrote a silly, tongue-in-cheek very sweary self-help book called 'Finding a balance between Caring and Not Giving a Fuck'. It's up on Smashwords:

But to help you guide in the new year with lots of profanity, here's a discount to get it for free, valid until 2nd January:

Enjoy! :P

@Hoern_ what could also be a reason: as you spin thinner, the yarn will need significantly more twist than the same length of a thicker yarn to hold together.

Good morning, Wandering Shop and the Fediverse where we wander!

Tea?

Today is the beginning of #yarnuary, and I’m really looking forward to seeing people's #showandtell of their projects: not only #knitting or #crochet, but also #weaving, #nalebinding, #handspinning, and whatever else, including #needlefelting.

The goal is to find fiber/fibre artists/crafters across the fediverse, whether just starting out or with decades of experience.

If you want to join us in #yarnuary and you would like a little challenge this week, why not learn how to put colors together with a technique that's new to you? If you don’t like making test swatches, you could make a coaster or something.

For instance, while I know several knitted colorwork methods, I’ve never learned intarsia, so I’m going to cast on a swatch in a little bit and try it out.

I've listed a few ideas for techniques here: https://gannet.neocities.org/yarnuary.html

"You've been chosen," the spirit said.
"What?"
"Save the world, make it kinder, cleaner, safer."
"Me?"
"Yes."
"Alone?"
"We chose everyone."

i hate kissing in front of people and was so relieved the first year we were dating when my SO told me he had a different tradition he'd been doing since he was a kid

at the last second before midnight, we jump into the air and land in the next year

it's cute and fun and imo much better than awkwardly making out in a crowd. also good because everyone can participate, not just those in relationships!

anyway if you're looking for a non-PDA NYE option I highly recommend it

i'm here
i'm queer
i am easily startled by loud noises
and would like to smooch some boyses

I finished knitting my sweater! Just needs seaming under the arms and weave in all the ends #knitting #herbstflauschkal https://witches.town/media/Hw3s6JVmHDncm3MChDE

It's just exhausting how all of this is being ignored.

It's not at all fair to leave accessibility issues to disabled people because... guess what, without access we really can't be there to make those changes that would allow us to be there 🔥

Is there a simple way to get assistants on site for disabled folks?

Is there a single session designed for people who need simple language and easy access to complicated information?
I'm not talking about kids here because referring disabled adults to children's things is not an option.

Is there a system for communication accessibility (like communication badges, TEXT based contact info next to every DECT number,...)?

Accessibility is still an issue.
People are putting a lot of energy into celebrating themselves instead of listening to more than one privileged token autistic.

Quiet rooms are still only accessible via talking to strangers and asking them for access (like wtf? we are talking about how quiet areas need to be designed to work for people who can't communicate like that for ages now).

#PSA: I see so many good #toots on #Mastodon that won't reach their target audience found b/c their authors failed to sufficiently #hashtag them.

Remember to hashtag!

And not just one or two, but deep! This ain't #birdsite, you've got 500 characters! Don't just do #mastomusic or #music, include the band names! Every time a new hashtag is broken in, my #mastobunny binkys... ;) https://social.coop/media/CnkTFDid79Rk6Gu_VNg

got a couple good photos of the spacex launch none of us knew about that scared the bejeezus out of us for a solid 20 minutes!
