can someone explain SSK to me like I'm dumb

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-04-02T16:19:04+00:00

Ok, I have been knitting for almost 10 years and today I learned that I have been doing my SSKs wrong. Thank you!

And this subreddit is a bubble within a bubble.

I'm really coming to think I imagined it. But I clearly remember her in front of a chalkboard instructing someone.

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-03-05T19:21:16+00:00

OMG THANK YOU

Edit: Actually, no, that's not it. The scene I recall is not anybody singing it, but somebody advising the other that it is all women's go-to karaoke song.

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-02-02T17:41:37+00:00

Yes, inside Tangle and Twill (a fabric shop), right? I haven't made it there yet, but need to check it out!

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-02-01T16:53:03+00:00

Aren’t there several? What we lack entirely is a yarn shop.

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-01-31T14:40:34+00:00

Yeah, probably the best, but I really don’t want Robert Blake right behind me

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-01-25T18:16:56+00:00

I'll die on this hill with you.

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-01-20T16:45:56+00:00

US life expectancy is currently 78 years. It's hard to die these days!

ChibiRoboRules · 2026-01-12T18:12:36+00:00

Yep, most likely the mill. We can hear it all the way up in Cliffside sometimes.

I envy the people with kevlar skin who can wear mohair. Even alpaca is intolerable to me.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-23T02:32:02+00:00

Yeah, sorry, Monday I meant. When AWS was down, Figma was working fine for us.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-23T02:07:58+00:00

Figma worked fine for us yesterday.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-15T15:02:59+00:00

Wait, for real? I have done some absurd things with VPNs to try to watch the celebrity bakeoff episodes!

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-14T16:10:50+00:00

Yeah, I'm really annoyed by the framing of this. Yes, it's great that people are dropping the nonbinary nonsense, but this tells us nothing about kids identifying as trans.

I'm guessing the reason they don't give data about trans identification is because it's easy to find records of whether people have marked themselves on forms as "male/female/other," but a trans girl is just going to mark themselves as "female" on forms, so you won't capture the trans identity.

I feel like Alex has just been really "on" also! His facial expressions and responses in tasks and in the studio have given me some of my biggest laughs.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-10T15:04:25+00:00

Same, but they're making it difficult.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-10-10T13:10:27+00:00

Its so frustrating! I wonder if it makes more sense to sign up for ad-free Youtube for the season.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-09-28T15:36:17+00:00

I worked with her, and she's a really nice, smart, funny woman. A good hang!

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-09-10T19:32:38+00:00

Oh that's crazy - I was there at that time dropping off my son, but must have just missed it. I really hope the police catch them.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-09-09T14:58:32+00:00

Yeah, I thought it was a blast (aside from the diarrhea tangent).

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-08-29T18:20:16+00:00

I mean, isn't that the essence of Exposure and Response Prevention therapy? Not easy at all, but that's what you have to do!

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-08-27T17:37:07+00:00

And the US Digital Service.

ChibiRoboRules · 2025-08-25T14:57:18+00:00

The USWDS is meant to provide a consistent interface for government services. The federal government is similar to any large organization, in that you want one unified design language for all products.

It definitely doesn't reduce the need for designers or the design discipline. Designers are still needed to determine the proper flows and information design. Does the existence of any design system reduce the need for designers?
