I've been watching video game streams while working on my cross-stitch projects, and have really been enjoying Secret Sleepover Society especially. Last week they played the game Bookshop Simulator, and Jacob made a joke that BDSM should stand for "Books Do So Much"
That struck me as so funny, it's exactly the type of slogan you would expect to see in a cross-stitch or on a bookmark at the school book fair. And then I realized I had extra cross-stitch bookmarks on hand, and could make my own BDSM bookmark pattern!! It was a great break from my bigger project, and it amused me greatly the whole time I was stitching.
The stream that inspired this is on the SSS youtube channel here, and (the context for the bit starts at about 1:31:15).
I hope it also brings you joy that this exists now.
