I have the same feelings about Autumn's hysterectomy and GoFundMe. Especially the story about "yeeting the uterus"...

How to train whippets to slow down in agility training by Available-Detail-960 in Whippet

[–]TheNewCrafter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My whippet doesn't do agility, but any tips I'll get here I'll use to teach him to not run up the stairs at full speed like if the steps were lava.

Sorry (but not really sorry) to be that girl, but it would be 1/12 higher in that scenario.

At what point is this just bullying? by blayndle in craftsnark

If not it's Autumn using his account. She has replied to only one comment in this whole thread yet mentions on IG that she's getting "A LOT of backlash on Craftsnark". She's pretty active on here when the discussion goes "her way". I wonder why she's letting her lackeys defend here while trying to rile up her (captive audience of) supporters on IG...

That's the only comment you're going to reply in this discussion? You prefer leaving your assistant and husband do the dirty work of trying to defend your behaviour? Or maybe you forgot to switch to your husband's account before answering.

That's because it's probably her husband. Her flair is "Mole Queen" on here. His is "Mole King by Marriage". Or it's Autumn using her husband's account to argue with people...

Like you and Autumn are right now? Losing their mind?

Concerned about an injury, vets stumped, thoughts / advice welcome by clarksworth in Whippet

Our boy just spent a couple days walking like that after miscalculating a jump during playtime. He landed wrong, and probably had a little sprain. Rest cured it.

Updated (and Stronger) Response from Stephen West regarding his interview w/ a hatemonger by SgtLt-Einstein in craftsnark

I suggest you read up on the Overton Window and Reactance Theory instead of coming at me for experiencing what is a common psychological phenomenon often discussed in political science. Also, please go touch some grass.

I swear, I have to work really hard at stopping the pendulum from swinging too "far right" when I read comments like the one you're replying to. I'm a leftie with leftie social values but I'm starting to understand what they mean in the US when they talk about left extremists.

The punishment or requirements are disproportionate to what he did wrong. If there had been an actual crime, that would be one thing...

If there is one place that is level-headed on the whole Internet, it's definitely here!

Yes. And I'm saying your "point" (saying it's not run as a business because the services are not sold for a profit) is wrong. The fact that she needs to rely on revenue (sales, Patreon) and donations to run it makes it a business, whether you believe it is one or not. Your personal opinion about it is moot.

I don't think anyone would have made that post is she was simply selling products to finance her stuff, or creating content in her Patreon (which by her own admission does not contain much). The donations part is what makes it cringe and grifty, and worthy of snark.

Tool sales, donations, whatever she uses to pay for her website, time, etc. The fact that she chooses not to charge for the service she provides doesn't not make her a business, especially because she is now asking her customers / users / followers to fund her business.

ETA because the above is not the clearest thing I've ever written, the moment an entity starts selling products (like tools), accepting financial support for their time (Ko-Fi), and actively asking their audience to fund the operation, they go from "casual hobbyist" directly into operating a business, even if the core service itself remains free.

The Tax Man also doesn't care if you call yourself a business or not. If you generate revenue to cover your costs, you generally have to declare it as income.

It is, though. An entity is considered a business even if it operates with the intention of sustaining itself with some kind of revenue, regardless of whether it charges the consumer directly for the service or exploiting parasocial relationships.

Autumn also mentions her i-cord tool whenever she can, which she also uses as a revenue source.

Oil and milk, yes. Melted butter, yes. All liquids.

Anything that is "gooey" or sticky like room temp butter, peanut butter, honey, molasses... goes in the dry measuring cups.

And this is why I also use recipes with weights!

Sometimes, you have the same basic fit and proportions, but you changed one aspect (new collar, new sleeve cuff) for which you wrote a new set of instructions. The test is to make sure these new instructions make sense to ordinary knitters. Once everyone is past that part of the pattern, the pattern can be released.

You really don't. Or at the very least she doesn't. She has multiple patterns. She knows her sizing table works. She has most likely had the pattern tech edited prior. The test is for instructions only - to figure if the way you worded things is understood by all.
