The real reason why you need to be social is the best chinese place within 10 miles is an unknown hole in the wall with a yearly marketing budget of $15 dollars and you will never, ever find it unless someone tells you about it.

fairytales which tell you to be both kind and clever fairytales that say to be kind is to be clever and to be clever is to be kind fairytales that say the cleverest thing you can ever do is choose kindness and that cruelty or thoughtlessness are always foolish but not kindness never kindness

I don't know who needs to hear this but please please please please please explore the settings. Of your phone, computer, of every app you use. Investigate the UI, toggle some things around and see what happens. You won't break anything irreperably without a confirmation box asking you if you really mean to do that thing. And you can just look up what a setting will do before touching it if you're really worried ok?

Worst case scenario you just have to change the settings back if you don't like what happened but it is so so so important to explore the tools available to you and gain a better understanding for how the stuff you use works.

Even if you already know. Even if you're comfortable with how you use it now. You don't just have to accept whtever experience has been handed to you by default and it's good for you to at least know what's available to you.

Working on a few things but nothing's wrapped up this week so here's a project I finished last year. For someone's birthday I embroidered linen so they could make their own tie on pockets using the pattern from Burnley and Trowbridge.

Every motif was stitched with a single strand of thread and this took about 90 hours to complete. The bottle caps help to drive home the scale - 18th century pockets were not small! I stitched this on 1.5 yards of linen and gifted the entire length so that the person could sew the finished project themselves, as they liked to sew historical costumes and I knew they would have opinions on things like the bindings. The main motifs are based on the Four Gentlemen of classical Chinese art - plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo. I aimed for a cohesive design but didn't want to create duplicate matching pockets. The borders and floating motifs are largely taken from historical early American embroidery designs.
