So I’m starting this sweater, and the directions are fucking baffling to me????? I mean, stylistically they baffle me, they’re not difficult to do. But like… look at this???

To begin with you start the skirt directions and it tells you to K2 AND THEN go back up to the lace pattern directions and work that AND THEN K2 again. Fucking WHY???? Why not include those first and last K2 in the directions????

And then like… why is the lace pattern not…next to the skirt directions????? Why plop the sleeve directions in between these things rather than at the top???????

This just feels like both absurd pattern writing choices AND wild layout choices.

Is this normal??? Do all lace patterns split things up like this? It seems completely unnecessary to me.

#adventures in knitting #for those keeping track at home yes I did literally finish a sweater yesterday #but look my anxiety is so high if I don’t have a project going at all times I am substantially less functional #also for those keeping track at home no I haven’t started the sleeves #I want full length sleeves not elbow because a sweater with elbow length sleeves #in bulky weight wool #is confusing to me #when are you supposed to wear it??#so since I’m short the plan is to shorten the shirt length so I have enough yarn for long sleeves #and thus I’m going to do a pattern repeat and find out how much yarn it takes #then do a sleeve and find out how much each inch of sleeve takes #and then I should be able to work out the exact length I need to take out of the skirt to make the sleeves long enough m

At the company retreat, one extremely drunk girl asked what my pronouns were. (Eventually, it took her a while to word the question.) After the whole conversation was done, she goes- "YEAHHH GURL, Get on with--with THY bad self! See what I did?? They/them/thy."

I was almost holding back tears from trying not to laugh as I told her yes that's great you nailed it honey. Thank you very much I am feeling the love.

Anyway I've been assigned Thee/Thine at Supportive Drunk Girl

#she was the epitome of ''he a little confused but he got the spirit''#everyone at this company retreat was drunk as a skunk #it was wild #all of them were very sweet don't get me wrong #but as someone who never went to college parties this was my first Experience with a true party

It's always so weird to come down from the biology heavens to see what the average person believes about animals, plants, ecosystems, just the world around them. I don't even mean things that one simply doesn't know because they've never been told or things that are confusing, I'm talking about people who genuinely do not see insects as animals. What are you saying. Every time I see a crawling or fluttering little guy I know that little guy has motivations and drive to fulfill those motivations. There are gears turning in their head! They are perceiving this world and they are drawing conclusions, they are conscious. And yet it's still a whole thing if various bugs of the world feel pain or if they are simply Instinct Machines that are Not Truly Aware of Anything At All????? Help!!!!!! How can you look at a little guy and think he is just the macroscopic animal version of a virus

#yesterday i made a complainy post about a whale edit having people confused about whale sharks and orcas' dolphin and whale identity #but honestly i cant even hold these things against someone. its confusing that whale sharks are called with two different animal names!#and if you only know about the whale dolphin porpoise divide then you may not know that dolphins and porpoises and others are toothed whale #i dont think anyone is actually stupid for not having this information preinstalled in their brains #if anything it makes me happy to get to explain things because i love explaining things that i know :D #however... this #it just makes me sad :(#its so weird when this whole thing is subjected towards OTHER VERTEBRATES too like fish or reptiles or amphibians #like man.... you are a fish. your ancestors were buddy buddy (or actually probably enemy enemy) with the ancestors of these guys #fish are like a whole other class of animal to a lot of people dont even get me started #they never get the same protections as mammals or birds do even if they are just as or more endangered #mmmmm i wont rant now #biology

Montjuic cemetery in Barcelona

#photography #I spent like 3 hrs here today it's massive and has a lot of elevation changes #But the cemeteries in here confuse me so much... I think I'm too used to the park-like design of German cemeteries #So to walk in such a huge quiet place full of cement and stone and very little nature is so eerie #And I've seen VERY FEW people both here and the one yesterday #Which makes sense - it's not built like a park so people don't treat it like one #But still such an eerie feeling #Like it truly is a place just for the dead alone and not for the grieving #While I'm used to cemeteries built for the grieving

Sure sure romantic pairings are fine and all. But more people should perhaps consider two characters loving each other to the point of incomprehensibility. To the point that there is no simpler way in english to define or describe it than just to say those characters’ names together, joined eternally by the vague conjunction ‘and’. There’s so many types of love and dependencies and emotions in general thrown in there that you can’t tell what colors they are anymore, they’ve just joined into a giant blobby mess that’s almost black, but when you look closer glistens with more colors than there are names for. Just a thought

#make yourself confused when it’s time to tag a fic and you’re left staring at / and & pondering the inner workings of english #and the nature of love as a whole #aromantic #aroace #writing #linguistics #I just get tired of romance being the default sometimes don’t mind me #star rambles #star gushes

quick megumi style study

#my art #jjk #jujutsu kaisen #fushiguro megumi #jjk fanart #megumi fushiguro #i LOVE trying to 1:1 art styles it's such a fun challenge #and it appeals to me bc i love deception and lying for sport and trying 2 mold all aspects of myself in2 something else #trying to draw like gege felt like trying 2 forge someone's signature and trying 2 draw like the anime felt like going against all instinct #theres NO midtones in the anime shading i was like. is this it. surely this cant b All the shadows i am allowed #cell shading without blended areas feels so wrong 2 me #and the shape of his hair.....he looks so silly......why does he look like that.....#i was fighting the urge to 'fix' it w every bone in my body #rly opened my eyes to just how many favours i do him in my art style #i will happily bear the burden of being megumi's hairbrush good god he needs it #it's not so egregious in gege's style bc it's all so blocky and angular everywhere + the b/w balances out w negative space #w trying 2 replicate gege's style i think my main challenge was finding a good brush dupe to mimic his crosshatching #my current render style is all over the place tbh im not even sure i'm super happy with my own which is kinda embarrassing #i think im in an in between phase that's neither smooth nor rough so i try to lean in2 the messiness to make it look intentional #instead of confused #but overall i think i did rly well in that i like these all ok and i had fun smile :)#maybe ill do th other first years

wild to me that there are people who have no desire to paint their walls in fun ways. and i don't just mean "people who choose sad neutral colors on purpose" i mean: why aren't more homeowners out there scribbling on their walls? it's your property, you can paint and color and draw whatever you want to! when did we as a species stop fingerpainting our homes that was a mistake

#everyone should have a crayon wall. a wall reserved primarily for scribbling on with crayons #we've lost the art of cave painting. and more importantly the SPIRIT of cave painting #*me explaining to my ancestors that i have access to a unimaginable variety of pigments & paints & dyes they could only dream of #but i live in a world where walls are whitewashed and most clothing comes in like. 4 colors. and isn't even tailored to fit *#anyways my biggest homeowner pipe dream is to paint cave art inspired murals in most rooms #and then have one wall specifically reserved for doodling whenever I'm bored. I'll invite friends over for a scribble party #it's honestly so confusing to me that this is not a normal thing for kid's bedrooms especially #we've all heard of young children coloring on walls it's basically instinctive #so if you can afford to why not let your kid have a wall in their bedroom reserved for doodling
