The final design for my Sinosauropterix acrylic keychains! Im so happy with the design i think the leaves really work. With the prototype that came back i found that the tail was long and prone to snapping so i needed a filler and it turns out that theres an absolutely incredible fossil plant from the same formation as them called Leefructus mirus! Its a prehistoric fossil BUTTERCUP! Ill be selling these at my local con but after that theyll be for same somewhere online possibly kofi?

Lil edit: preorder is open!

Thinking about how wild it is that enshittification starts as a way for the rich to squeeze the populace for more money but ends up infecting everything so even luxury products decline in quality. They’ve got more money than fucking God now and for what? Literally they can’t even buy fun nice stuff for themselves because they killed craft.

Anyway this post is about Dhaka muslin but it’s also about everything.

Back in 2020 some people on Instagram compiled a huge spreadsheet of independent sewing/craft shops focusing on "stores owned and operated by BIPOC and allies"! Last updated 2022 but most of the info should still be good.

So with Joann going under and as a Fashion/Costume Designer and a cosplayer I need a place to get fabric and notions, and I know many others feel lost as well

So I made a short simple list of online fabric stores as well as notions .

Please share with anyone you would like. If you have recommendations of things to add please let me know.

There's only a few right now of ones I know and have used

I may add a few niche ones like Silk Baron but I am mainly adding ones with many options and maybe add a niche section later

More places with trims would be nice, or even patterns, historical, cosplay, or everyday.

Having a much older, much more experienced person tell you you're doing well in your shared hobby is better than crack, especially when the hobby tends to be 80% retired ppl. Like, hell yeah I'm gonna get a good grade in birdwatching and I'm not even 50. Child prodigy moment

You are made to live as a kind of house-pet for one week. You are well taken care of and loved, but you are unable to communicate to the person taking care of you that you are a person. What is your reaction?

Spin the wheel to find out which pet you will spend a week as.

Now, now, it's quite simple! A player in the opponent's half must have at least two opponents between them and the goal when a forward pass is sent to them.

What's "between," you ask? Again, super easy! You just draw a line across the field parallel to the goal line that intersects the part of the attacking player's body that's closest to the goal and can legally be used to touch the ball, which is anything but the part of the arm below the shirt sleeve, or the armpit, it can be fuzzy and dependent on the ref's interpretation of the handball rules... but hey, you know it when you see it! You draw similar lines intersecting each opponent at the point on their body closest to the goal, and as long as the attacker's line is behind two opponents' at the moment the ball is played forward, it's all good!

Ah, so I've been saying "played forward," but there's a wrinkle there. Here we mean that the attacking player is ahead of the teammate who played the ball, using the same lines. If your teammate is farther forward than you and passes the ball laterally or backwards, you're fine. And even if they pass the ball forward, if you're behind them when that happens and then sprint to the ball, all good! And if the ball comes off a defender, forget everything I said, by rule you cannot be offside. Throw-ins, too, you cannot be offside from a throw-in.

And speaking of wrinkles, an attacker is allowed to be in an offside position if they're not affecting the play. Like, if two players are running forward and one is offside but they ignore the ball and let the onside player receive it, totally fine! Of course, an offside player doesn't have to touch the ball to be involved in the play. They could be screening a defender or the goalkeeper by standing between them and the course of the pass, or they could be obscuring the goalkeeper's vision and preventing them from reacting to a shot in time. That all sounds subjective and can be dependent on the officials' interpretation of the rule, and it is, but those are details that don't matter until they do.

Besides, in competitions that have booth review, officials are encouraged to let the play continue even if offside is suspected. If a goal is scored, the booth official can then review the television footage and determine if it the attacker was truly offside, in which case the goal is disallowed. This can take several minutes as we find the exact frame when the ball leaves the passing player and then scrutinize the pixels to find the point of each player's body that's closest to the goal, and we may have to do this for several passes in the attacking phase, which is generally any period of uninterrupted possession by the attacking team that resets whenever the defense regains possession or clears th--

But anyway, like I was saying, it's actually pretty simple.
