I’ve had this perendaleXmerino fleece for almost a year now, so it’s time it gets washed so the lanolin doesn’t set or discolour the wool. I left it all packed so the fleece wouldn’t risk being exposed to moths or other nasties prior to now.

The Rodeo Rule: you only have to do it for the first time once.

The Rohan Rule: if you are at a social function full of new people and you want to be liked, find someone doing important work like setup or food prep and offer to help.

The Tutorial Mode Rule: to navigate an unfamiliar situation where you fear you will mess up an interaction, preface the interaction by mentioning that you've never done this before, and let them know if you have a specific concern or question.

The Rocket Science Rule: most new things you want to try seem very complicated but are simple when taken step by step.

The [X] Will Remember That Rule: if you need to make small talk with the same person on a regular basis, try to save one fact or current event in their life from a given conversation and bring it up next time you talk.

even if someone WAS just lazy and simply didn't want to do anything but lie on the couch and watch tv, they should still have these things. it's irrelevant whether some people aren't actually lazy because everyone, including hypothetical lazy people, should have their basic needs met.

if we have the resources to do it, there is no defense of letting people die because they don't want to work, and much less because they can't.

New spindle new spindle!!! You ever meet a new tool and get the feeling that it was meant to be? like it was made for you? Something about this spindle ✨clicked✨ for me and it feels so nice to spin with. It's like it's teaching me how to supported spin. It feels so wonderful in the hand and it's so pretty too. Made from reclaimed wood and other materials (:

I've been really struggling with supported spinning, but with the new spindle I think I'm really starting to get the hang of it. Look how finely I can spin! it's relatively even too! The process feels so smooth and delightful!

Many supported spindles are wildly expensive and I was planning on waiting until MD Sheep/Wool to try to find one at a discount or something. And then I found this one for a perfectly reasonable price. I didn't think I was going to go for it, but I could not stop thinking about it. I'm so glad I took a chance on it~

The spindle is from Rag Bag Rebel Alliance on Etsy (HIGHLY recommend!)
