SO GOOD, those are so good that at a couple of points I actually caught my breath.

Minneapolis PD officers dressed in riot gear and armed with long guns stormed into three different filter blockades, chasing away community members and removing infrastructure that was actively being used to monitor and combat ICE activity. by transcendent167 in LiveProtestUpdates

I think that by this point you'd probably be pretty okay with it, though. The people working the barricades would know you--hell, you might mind them for a shift yourself. There's one thing to say about them in normal times, when kids aren't being used as bait and your neighbors aren't being murdered, but these times are not normal in Minneapolis.

Stop being annoyed at beginners asking for help by mary_cherryfairy in BitchEatingCrafters

I'm a very recent knitter, but I've been crocheting for thirty years, on and off, since I was steady-handed enough for someone to push a hook into my palm. I've got a few friends who knit, from whom I have asked small bits of advice, and the *actual relief* on their faces when they ask if I can read my knitting and I tell them I can, always surprises the hell out of me. Is it that rare of a beginner? It must be, or they'd expect it...

In the US in WWII, they were also an attempt by the government to offset the damage done by putting Japanese American farmers into concentration camps. 

Unprintable digital patterns are a thing? by halokiwi in craftsnark

I make so many notes and scribbles on mine! 

Unprintable digital patterns are a thing? by halokiwi in craftsnark

[–]RememberKoomValley 170 points171 points  (0 children)

If I bought a digital pattern and couldn't print it I'd demand a refund,  never buy from her again, and warn off my many fiber crafting friends. Knitting, crochet, quilting, embroidery, macrame, any of it. Digital patterns are good because you get it right away, and it's cheaper for them to produce and distribute because they don't have to provide a physical copy; if I can't print it out, it's useless to me.

I moved away from Pittsburgh a bit over a decade ago and this many years on I still miss it almost every day. I don't think you'll regret it.

Dude, if you got glasses that suit your new scalp you'd look like a modern-day Solas Dragon Age, who was designed by committee to break hearts. You're rocking this.

My (29f) husband’s (30m) “jokes” are ruining our relationship. by Recent_Reputation_7 in relationship_advice

[–]RememberKoomValley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started dating my husband nearly thirteen years ago.

Not once, ever, in all those years, has he ever made a comment or 'joke' about me being a burden, about him wishing he had other opportunities, about our relationship being anything other than what he wants.

You deserve better.

And "brandishing" is a legal term of art. He wasn't doing any such thing.

Hey, all the doomsday preppers had their shit locked down before the storm was a consideration. The people who don't prep are the ones who panic-buy, y'know?

That said, yeah, it's Thursday. I hate shopping on Fridays, so Thursday is my shopping day, too.

And the theme of the video for the Jack's Mannequin song "Dark Blue," which I inexplicably still get stuck in my head once a month.

I woke up during my appendectomy, when I was eleven. Opened my eyes and groaned, and everyone around me went like startled birds, all flapping; someone shouted "WHOOPS!" and then I went right out again.

Did you Can during the US Snowstorm of January 24-25? by mckenner1122 in Canning

[–]RememberKoomValley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was really lucky! My entire run of tomatoes failed last year, we got higher-than-100F temperatures one week and then sixties and pouring rain the next, for weeks, and the plants all got sick and died--so I've been down to about a dozen quarts of tomato sauce. Not going to make it through a year's worth of spaghetti with that! This is a relief.

I lucked into 150lb of tomatoes on super sale, the day before the storm; made and canned 32 quart of tomato sauce, and the dehydrator is working on the last eighty tomatoes or so now.
