... or y'all are tiny

Like... I'm the 5'9" one. The Mighty Goose is 5'2"

Half a foot?? Taller???

Now this ^ I can visualise on account of knowing people the same height as Goosetav

Congrats @agent-nebraska, this is now going to be the first thing I tell the recipient

And let's have a shoutout to @personontheswing for what is, I'm sure, an organising tag... but has nonetheless cracked me up beyond repair. It's taken me a hellish amount of time to type this without typos. How dare you. I hope you are having a magnificent day, wherever you are!

I have crocheted a Goose. Specifically, I have crocheted a Giant Goose.

Would you like to see the Giant Goose?

It is a gift for a friends birthday in a couple of weeks and I am ridiculously proud of this goose because it means I have successfully read an entire pattern without needing to try and find a video tutorial.

I cannot emphasise enough just how Giant this Goose is.

🧐

Right. Ok. Whoops.

I'll be honest: I was not expecting this to get answered so quickly! Last night I finished the main body of the Goose. And so I sent this, assuming (foolishly, I see this now) that I would have sewn all the bits together by the time this was answered.

I Have Not.

So uh. Give me until tomorrow? It's two wings, two legs, two eyes, a beak and a tail. It shouldn't take long?

My apologies for misleading, so to tide everyone over, here is a progress photo I took when I started working on the head, neck, and body. I promise this is the head and neck. I promise that's what this is.

It is done.

I give you:

✨Goosetav✨

For reference, I am 5'9".

Roughly 5'2" from beak to toe with about 2.5-3kg of stuffing (and that's on the lighter side of estimations), Goosetav is, honestly

✨Magnificent✨

And my housemate has now gone "d'you think there'll be patterns for crochet knives?"

... so I am now planning to arm Goosetav.

This coming out just days after it was revealed in the Jeffrey Epstein email dump that powerful people manipulated American and British news, political figures and forums to push transphobia to distract from people looking at their child abuse ring.

This includes chief anti-Corbyn-ite in Labour Peter Mandelson, directly feeding anti-trans stories to UK and US newspapers, actively bullshiting "biological studies" that trans people are idk ontologically evil (we have proof of Epstein pitching this exact thing), and creating /pol/ and then feeding anti-trans conspiracy theories for years until it all boiled over.
