Knitting and Nerdom

No, cause this is funnier and always needs to be reblogged with the full context.

I am reminded of the relative child who started scolding Doctor Who fandom for “hiding” the fact that its first producer was a woman.

Hey so as the economy continues to get worse in the next few years, gambling companies are going to go extra hardcore predatory as people become more desperate. Yes, even more than they already are. You have to promise me right now you're not going to fall for it. No gambling, okay?

We are seeing this right now with Kalshi's sudden push towards people watching reality dating shows like love island, as they are starting to tap out on their first big market block - young straight men into sports/politics. They are moving on towards young straight women now with the dating shows thing but they will start diversifying into other niches soon!

Mystery Inc. but it’s the 1890s

Since this was around the advent of electricity and superstition was rife, there were probably a TON of ingenious tricks the wealthy could use to scare people away from their real-estate.

Tudor-Stuart Englishmen wondering what religion they have to be today

I’m moving. For reasons that I don’t understand, my older brother decided to pack up almost everything in my craft room without any supervision (I guess I wasn’t moving fast enough for his preference) so I don’t know how he organized it. I don’t know what bags my scissors are in or my thread or my patterns or my Aida cloth or my embroidery floss or my wips. I don’t even know if two different costume pieces I was working on are with their patterns. No idea if he kept my scraps or how they were put in storage. I do know he didn’t put my sewing machine in its actual carrier. I was able to go through some of my fabric and take out cuts I wanted to sell and bag some things up according to theme and type, but that’s about it.

Well, today me and my sister got criticized by my great aunt and my brother for “taking too long” and “keeping too much stuff”. Well, we’d be further along and have less stuff in storage if my brother did what we wanted him to do (clean out the attic and the shed) instead of boxing up the craft room because I would have put aside the three sewing machines I wanted to keep (one is an embroidery machine, btw) and sold the rest on Marketplace instead of putting every single sewing machine my mom bought in storage. I also would have gotten rid of the fabric and supplies I don’t want or need.
