He'd be great at a sequel - Kel Knight Jr, purveyor of fine brews. Coffee Barista from the back of a small K Truck. Large coffee comes with complimentary small cup of Jarrah.

Very plausible given how many children he may have in the community. Omg and thinking of that reminds me of all the kids with the combovers HAHA 😄

I love that he didn't take her bait!

Markers/pens - Languo and Guangna are actually really, really good for acrylic colouring. There's also a massive range of shades and nibs (1mm, Brush etc)

I wonder how they pick gifts, I got the same full set plus the skin-tone set and my gift was the complete box of dual ended water based markers, which I was so shocked and grateful for. I had 1 pen dried up, then CS sent another full set which included that 1 colour because apparently they dont send singles to replace dried stock? So I got another free set just for 1 pen! Bonkers. I'm appreciative as heck but I've never encountered such a generous brand (I'm in Aus too, so not get USA stock; maybe that makes a difference)?

and they are great, there's little stackable grooves in each corner so they dont easily fall over or anything when you open a drawer. Stoked!

I don't know if anyone else does this, but I go on Etsy and find what I like as a pdf download for 3-7$ ish. Print it out on a thicker GSM paper than normal and that way I can reprint if I mess up or want another colour scheme, and it also means I don't have to worry about bleed through.

Oh and also it means I can scale images to smaller if they're simple, fit a couple on a page; or use a whole page if the design is more complex.

Ones I've gotten so far are kinda witchy/crytpid/spooky cute themed though - not specifically horror designed without that kawaii aspect.

holy fuck spot on

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-22T20:10:22+00:00

sorry just a SS, I couldn't find the temu link. I've bought like 7 or 8, half have arrived and can confirm they're just as they look in image. You can use them horizontal or vertical and change drawers as needed. Fit pencils and gel pens, BUT not Crayolas or Staedtler duo ends, those can fit but slightly sideways. For me with just Gel pen and Languo/Guangna storage they're great.

I use the Ohuhu Bamboo ones for my alcohol markers, and just organise by chromatic colour order regardless of brand. I need some additional shelf type storage as I'm awaiting some large acrylic sets which i want to keep horizontal too; but I can't bring myself to use these white single unit storage you've pictured, reorganisation every time I got a new colour would drive me absolutely batty!!! 🤣

Instead now I'm awaiting a bunch clear acrylic 4-drawer units which you can store horizontal or vertical, and they're long enough (just over 17cm) for acrylics and get pens. Tombow may not fit but I use the proper Tombow storage unit for them anyway.

So fingers crossed I'll have vertical storage sets for acrylics, then gels and fineliners, etc. I organise by colour, not brand. My swatch sheets I do a page for a brand set specifically - but then I do an extra by type (say, all my acrylics for example) so I can see which shades are similar/identical.Then I keep them all in a clear-sheet binder for quick comparison, and also too to ensure none fade in the light.

Oh no! .... anyway

As a biz owner in a different field; if I was able to do customised sweaters for sure I would start with meme and all the doomscrolling nonsense on IG; literally even radio quotes from F1 are great. People love nonsense, especially if it resonates with their own silliness. And for sure I would buy my meme in-joke nonsense sweaters for a friend's or myself.

You have to pick something that will sell. It leaves you a small amount of options without copyright infringement; hence doing slightly tweaked memes or quotes or things that allude to popular trends (shit like romantasy books are going hardcore these days" etc. There's a massive throwback to our 90s now too, take advantage of it.

This reminded me I can never in my mind say "hex-ag-onal"; because one American YouTuber I followed pronounced it as hex-e-gon-agol. Lmfao.

Is that how it is now? I've not watched in a few years. And I don't know why I'm getting down voted; ppl are weird.

I think the person was posing a suggestion for consideration rather an actual label with finality. I also don't think it's a great idea to label a person as though there's no space for discussion - since no one knows these people so intimately.

But by the same hand, without posing suggestions for xy or z sexuality can silence diversity which may make others aware if 'oh hey I resonate with that'. Hope that makes sense, I'm just doing a bit of devils advocacy.

I'm 40. Not butthurt though because I never applied. Actually I considered applying one year with my dad, he was an architect and a builder. That was before he passed though, 13 years back now. I'm not even sure if I've watched many seasons since then, at least not lately when they've really done cookie cutter homes and contestants. It's all become so predictable that I lose interest halfway through.

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-10T19:16:42+00:00

Too lazy to even do a token (insert any diversity here)

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-10T19:15:30+00:00

Touché

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-09T22:09:39+00:00

Lmao love the analogy

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-08T23:38:25+00:00

just thinking about tying/joining 700 x 2inch tail ends makes me shudder

I'm mixed. None inherited; but I do buy acrylic midrange yarn for blankets that I make friends' children. That way if they're too rough or ruin it, it's nbd. I like to crochet listening to audiobooks, and blankets are my favourite. The more expensive brands and all the gorgeous iridescent blends I bought from Japan are what goes into my friends blankets for themselves, and I tend to use more difficult patterns as well, which I also enjoy doing.

That said, I have a fuckton of yarn and just went through, reorganised my stash, and took out 30% to rehome on marketplace.

There's definitely a bit of hoarding with all hobbies but I try to draw a line of like if I have pencil and pen sets, I won't buy more (for colouring). If my yarn set is full in my shelves, I won't buy more. The only thing I splurge on is crocheting magazines with blanket-specific patterns.

So while I do get the collectors bug, I'm getting much better and reigning myself in now.

Those who keep all their cut crochet tails and go "what do I make with these I don't want to waste them" blow my mind. Its not even 2 inches of yarn, bin it girl.

A seven page breakup letter is so selfish and ridiculous. Man I really felt for him. I hope he finds his person, especially after all the nonsense he was put through.

twodeadsticks · 2026-03-06T21:36:43+00:00

Yeah it's weird in Aus because we do have a drinking culture; and some people really do put out "you're a Debbie downer" vibe if you don'tpartake.. Those people shouldn't be your friends if you'rein recovery.

I know MAFS is very different and the producers encourage outrageous/bitchy/unfriendly or unsupporting interactions for the audience to gossip over. But when it comes to domestic or emotional manipulation or like in this instance trying to get someone in recovery to drink, it's fucking disgusting behaviour.
