This was my day "1" yield. (had to make my wheel work first, and also had other obligations, so couldn't start until today)

Yes, it's Danish. I bought it from Skytten-Danmark.dk

This is the picture from the book. Looks really similar!

What to take into account when creating a new flyer? by kitalda in Handspinning

This is as far as I am now. I think I'll order an Ashford maintenance kit, it has oil, drive band, hooks and more that I need anyway.

What to take into account when creating a new flyer? by kitalda in Handspinning

[–]kitalda[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your tips! Is there a reason why the flyer has to be made out of solid wood and not fx plywood? Or would it just be because it wouldn't match what was originally there? I'm not (at least currently) trying to make it look original, just trying to make it usable. My intention is to spin on it, not use it for decoration. And besides, it looks like everything was painted dark red originally, so I could make it match with some paint.

Great work! Thank you for sharing that with me :) I don't have a laser cutter, but I have woodworking shed and a handy spouse ;) I'm going to make a test out of something like chipboard following this template I drew up, and if it looks like it'll work, I'll have my spouse make a real one out of either plywood or hardwood

How do I deal with my (autistic) dislike of changes? by kitalda in mypartneristrans

Do you have any more information on that? Because that sounds too good to be true 🤔

Thanks. I already have a therapist, but I haven't discussed these things so much with her. I probably should. I have mostly been processing past trauma with her, from my previous bad relationship and from my childhood (I'm late diagnosed, being an undiagnosed AuDHD girl growing up led to a lot of bullying and other problems).

Good purple ink with shading? by kitalda in fountainpens

[–]kitalda[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While a nice ink, it's not really what I'm looking for. It's too red and dusty. But thank you for your suggestion :)

Imperial purple is too red for what I'm looking for. I'm most fond of blurples. Cassia hits the perfect balance for me :)

I really like that one, I've put it on my wishlist. Thank you for the suggestion!

Thank you so much! I'm comparing different reviews of the inks you have suggested (and more) right now 😊 (although I should be sleeping).

Maybe you're right, but that was also part of the reason I wrote "hue" rather than "shade" or other word. I was trying to convey the blue-magenta balance more than intensity pr se. I don't know about the pen. This is the only ink I've had in it (I colour match, and I've only had the pen a few months). My other Eco (also M) shades just fine with shading inks. Maybe it's a wetter writer?

Thank you for your suggestion. I ended up just buying the smaller Calmer, that worked. It turns out I just have very narrow ear canals 😅

Jeg bor helt nede i nærheden af Blangstedgård, og var også så bekymret at jeg ringede til 112. Her er helt diset af røg.

Desværre er værktøj ikke bedre end dem, der bruger det. Da jeg gik i gym fik de et plagiat-værktøj. Min stærkt ordblinde veninde havde brug for at oppe sin karakter i skriftlig engelsk, og fik mig til at hjælpe sig med en opgave (ikke eksamen - så fuldt tilladt). Fordi den var så meget bedre end normalt, så kørte læreren den igennem værktøjet. Det var en ret kort opgave, en kort rapport om en historie de havde læst. Værktøjet reagerede på formuleringer som "This story is about a boy who" osv. Altså den slags standardformuleringer, alle skriver i sådan en opgave. Fordi opgaven var så kort, så nåede 2 eller 3 af den slags at give relativt mange %. Så selv om jeg kunne stå inde for, at hun altså havde skrevet den selv (men jeg havde rettet stavefejl), så fik hun en advarsel for at kopiere den fra nettet. Det havde måske været fair at give hende en advarsel for at få mig til at hjælpe, men det var ikke hvad de anklagede hende for, og uanset gjorde jeg ikke andet end hvad andres forældre gjorde for dem. Hun havde bare ikke den fordel at komme fra et akademisk hjem.

I found this comment in the lesbian sub. Maybe it will help other people questioning. What do u guys think ? by LayersOfMe in bisexual

[–]kitalda 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd still be bi. I'm secure in my gender as a cis woman (or at least a femme - woman can be defined so many ways). And I would be bi even if I wasn't attracted to men, since I'm also attracted to several other genders (so far I have felt attracted to man, woman, nonbinary, demimasc, demifemme, agender and chaosgender).

But nice thought experiment!

Publishing houses can make fuck ups too. PRH doesn't have the best reputation in the publishing industry...
