Been learning how to shuttle tat lace

The hardest part of it has honestly been giving myself permission to do it,

and then not getting caught up in how "good" or meritorious the finished pieces are.

Also working thru the worry that my creations have to be useful in some way or else they dont deserve to exist,

which of course touches feelings i have about myself & my usefulness/right to exist...

Anyway plz enjoy this snowflake

y'know? the more i cook for a household on One and tailor my cooking for myself and my own tastes, the more i'm enjoying experimenting with textures and flavors and the way my food makes me feel and the less i care about the aesthetics and photogenicness of my meals.

like, y'all. ugly food is DELICIOUS.

True. You might also wind up with an article on #Henhouse or #Spinster (#nostr "communities") Careful what you wish for with this PE-owned media

@jerrykimbro Haha! Tagging him so that he sees this lol @alexgleason @alex @0461fcbecc4c3374439932d6b8f11269ccdb7cc973ad7a50ae362db135a474dd

#Spinster isn’t your traditional modern feminist site, it’s a #radfem site. It’s about as feminist as #JKRowling. They support women’s rights, but don’t pretend that men can be women and vice versa.

Also, I’m pretty sure that his wife @mk @932614571afcbad4d17a191ee281e39eebbb41b93fac8fd87829622aeb112f4d is a cofounder as well, Alex doesn’t even run #Spinster anymore from what I can tell.

@jerrykimbro I could be wrong but I don’t think that #rebased, #pleroma, or #akkoma-based clients host or proxy remote media. Basically, #Spinster doesn’t store your comics, they load the remote files that are hosted by #Minds. If you don’t want that to happen, take your comics down from #Minds.

Holy frick...people are sharing pictures of #trans FtM "penises" and I have two reactions:

1. #X / #Twitter needs CW fields like #Mastodon, #rebased, #Pleroma etc. have.

2. Good gosh straight women are justified in being "transphobic" when it comes to who they sleep with. These look ghoulish. I've drawn hands that look more anatomically correct than these "penises", and all my drawings suck. I can see why women like the folks on #Spinster get so viscerally angry when you say they should sleep with people who have appendages like this because they're straight.

Third wave feminists are the real incels if we’re talking the #AndrewTate tinged red pill here

But to be fair there are a lot of #Spinster users who are basically WGTOW at this point

@thor Well don’t take it personally, a lot of #Spinster users are mean and don’t really like anybody

@antares Yep. That’s basically what I said in the thread. It made the #Spinster women mad though.

"Spinster" denoted an unmarried woman who spun wool. Highly skilled spinsters were paid enough to afford not to marry. Despite later applied derogatory connotations, it's original meaning included independent women who rejected marriage and male partners entirely.

@indie1337 AFAIK makeup can screw up your skin so it can be hard to stop wearing it. I could be wrong, the #Spinster users know more about this than I

1845 v5 Lowell Offering

babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id

June 1845 Lowell Offering [Mill Girls Magazine]. 

Article is titled "Maiden Meditation", and starts:
WELL , well , there is no use in fretting now . I am an old maid , and no mistake . The sunny hours of girlhood have flown away , like a bright dream , too pure to last . Then I was a rosy - cheeked , laughing , black eyed girl , full of young life's hopes and anticipations - singing from morn ing till evening , blithe as bird or bee ; and life was all bright and beautiful before me . But a change has passed over the spirit of my dream . Now I live and move an isolated being , an old maid ; a member of the maiden sisterhood .

Yet I do not repine . No ! far be it from me ; it was my own choice , and I have never yet repented it ; though my cheek has lost its bloom , and my raven tresses have changed their hue . This form has grown thin and shadowy , and my voice has lost its melody , yet still I do not grieve . Had I been a wife , age would have shaken hands with me , and perhaps I should have been even more ugly than I am now . The very thought of matrimony always affected me like a fit of ague ; and when any of my lovers broached the subject , my poor frightened heart thumped and flut tered like a caged bird , always compelling me to say " No. " And my lovers all had such homely names that , turn them which way I might , they would not pass . Higgs , Hobbs , Spriggings , Higgings , Jiggings , Rig gings , and Scriggings . No ! not with ...
Second clip from Maiden Meditation, pg 122.

"and because they are obliged to live in single wretchedness , they must have something to love , so they get cats , dogs and birds for pets . " Well , what if they do ? I would as soon have cats and dogs - no , I do not mean dogs , for they are hateful creatures , but cats , at all events - as a stingy scolding husband , and crying children daubing every thing over with their dirty greasy hands - and their noise is insupportable .

66

There is neighbor Brindle , an old beau of mine , by the way . When ever I go there I am almost crazed with the noise of his six children . The ever - ringing chorus of their family concert is , " Father , father , ' Mother , mother , " or what is passing flat , " Papa , daddy , mama , mamy . " Now , if I were going to be married , I would get a new order of house hold words , and never allow the children to call me twice by the same name . My children , of course , I should expect to be very dutiful - But to return to neighbor Brindle's ; his wife can never talk of any thing but the children - how wonderfully bright they are ; the baby , only one month old , has actually laughed ; and , from the description , a body would think as much as one tooth had graced its little mouth . The dear little eyes , sweet little nose , pretty little toes of the other children ,...."

Interesting. Corroborates what I heard some #Spinster users saying about @e being something of a creep.

I made pasta alla vodka but I forgot to halve the recipe and now I have leftovers upon leftovers. Anyone hungry?
