Last Notes npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep If she's old enough, I think you need to show niece some of the films on the list and share her commentary here! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Practical magic is brilliant. Was one of the first films I watched with offspring when she started feeling ready for slightly scary stuff. I'd add The Adams Family, Witches of Eastwick and Hereditary to the list. Also Cabin on the Woods, but that might be too close to slasher for your taste. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep My kid loved it. I tried to like it, but it just left me cold. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I really like Peter Capaldi, but I found him a little distracting in Dr who as I kept expecting some malcolm tucker style swearing! I was never a big fan of Doctor who, but one of my kids was so I've seen quite a lot of them. Had stopped buying a license by the time whittaker took over, but haven't heard anything good about the newest stuff.. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep It's hard to get into a series when the characters are so awful you don't care if they live or die! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Oh, I'd forgotten all about the good place. Kids have encouraged me to watch it but I just can't get into it. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Umbrella academy. Orange is the new black. Star wars. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep No results on rav. Might give it a go with the handspun. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Ooh! Did she say what sort of yarn she used, and how much? I have mostly 4ply right now, but probably some dk knocking around somewhere. Also some grey and purple handspun of dubious weight, but likely somewhere between dk and aran. I like the idea of doing this with handspun as it feels a bit more witchy. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Tempting. I wonder how you get it to hold its shape though. Looks like some sort of wire frame might be required, which has not worked well for me in the past. If its done just by using a smaller than usual hook, I'd be up for making this. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I hope so too. Its such bullshit. In the 90s, id cards were going to protect us against benefit scroungers. In the 2000s it was terrorism. Now its illegal immigration on small boats. They must think we are stupid or something. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Just signed it! It's 2,711,758 people now. That's a whole city's worth of people! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Next week, they are going undercover to capture some truly shocking footage of the pope being a catholic and bears defecating in the forest! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep But you would need the mints after a big bowl full of fishy horseradish! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Everyone seen sounds a bit more sinister than he probably wanted it to. And everyone valued is complete BS if the assisted dying bill goes through. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Ah dinna think ah'd be able t' manage more 'an a page a two o' that drivel. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep She has a YouTube chanel. Presumably she gets money from that. I wonder how much of the mortgage was paid for with savings vs what was paid with the YouTube money. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Horrible place to get a cut. Hope it heals quickly. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep The only glorifying I can see in that post is coming from trazenga. Kirks comment is flippant and distasteful, but that's not really just cause for an execution. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep And all the books with warped and wrinkly pages from reading them in the bath! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Clapton is such a thourougly awful specimen that nothing could come out about him that would surprise me. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I'm angry too. None of this is fair, and a lot of it would be fixable if only the people with the power and money (and to a lesser degree voters) cared enough to fix it. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep About 15 to 18 years old is very odd phrasing. Most people can remember how old they were when they had their first relationship/ kiss/ sexual experience etc. The fact that she's being so vague suggests that she feels she has something to hide. This isn't a criticism of her, it must be an awful feeling to gradually realise after years of marriage that your husband is a predatory creep. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep A few weeks ago, I asked a stranger for the time while I was queueing in a shop. He looked at me like I had two heads or something. Took me a minute to realise that I am weird for not carrying a phone when I'm out, and people probably stopped asking strangers for the time / directions etc over a decade ago. Made me feel like an absolute fossil! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Everything happens for a reason. Not my circus, not my monkeys. Get your ducks in a row. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I vaguely remember something about this from the last time I was pregnant, but not sure if I was asked to 'donate' or just read an article. It was being sold as a harmless and altruistic way to help people who were suffering from terrible diseases, not a gross scheme to help billionaires live forever! Nobody should be taking blood from the umbilical cord, or cutting the cord before it has finished transferring blood from the placenta to the baby, which it continues to do for a few minutes after birth, unless they need to in order to help the baby. That's the baby's blood and it should be in the baby's body. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I'm an aggressive sleeper, so I need a whole king-size to myself. Dog is allowed to share, but he stays at the feet end, safe from most of the flailing! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep We never had it until I started high school and had to cover my books, and even then I usually used wrapping paper and sellotape. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Heard a rumor that the venue wouldn't let them, which seems odd to me. Offspring suggested they were worried what would happen if 12000 goths ovulate simultaneously! We did get to hear Copy of A and it was awesome. I hope they release an album with Boyz Noise as some of their additions were just breathtaking. Heresy, wish and survivalism all stood out too. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That would make more sense, but is not how I remember it. New Mandela effect maybe? npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep But if your bones and organs are ancient, how much difference would a bit of younger blood even make? This whole idea is ghoulish and disgusting, but it's also quite nonsensical. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep The BBC used to go to ridiculous lengths with this. There used to be a kids show called Blue Peter where they would show you how to make things out of empty bottles and toilet roll tubes. They were not allowed to say 'sellotape' as that would have been advertising a specific brand, so they always called it 'sticky backed plastic'. Even as a 5-year-old I thought that sounded odd. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That's disappointing. I wish actors/musicians who's careers are on the wane would come up with a new way of getting their faces in the paper. This one is getting really boring. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Bloody hell! I've seen plenty memes about 1984 not being an instruction manual. Do rich men really need to be told that Dracula wasn't an instruction manual either? npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep They are the perfect drug! (sorry) Did you get to hear them play closer? I know the setlist is a little different each night on this tour, but I'm starting to think that Manchester was the only city that didn't and I'm kinda jealous! I do get how you're feeling though, I sometimes get into a rut where I listen to nothing but NIN and after a few weeks I know I have to broaden my musical horizons again or I'll end up despairing, which just goes to show that Trent is very good at what he does. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep If that's true then it is grounds for divorce! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep The two in the middle look like they are surrounded by other dragons. As the orange/brown one is the only one breathing fire, I think it might be protecting the green one. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Those are fantastic. Your daughter is very talented! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Could be a co-ordinated campaign against orgs that support Afghan women. A few weeks ago, @nprofile…8sf0 posted something about an organisation that provides support for women and girls in Afghanistan. The article contained a link that took you straight to the org's website, but if you googled the org instead, it took you to a page saying the organisation had shut down due to shady/criminal activity. I would not be surprised if whoever started that smear campaign has widened their scope to attack other Afghan women's charities and advocates too. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep What rules could they possibly be breaking? Siding with the fucking taliban is not a good look on any company! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I know that feeling! I took a big break after seeing them live earlier this year, because the CDs sounded so flat and disappointing compared to the live show. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Well someone's having trouble letting it go, but I don't think it's the kids who still read Harry Potter! I'm not even a fan, but used to have a couple of Harry Potter shirts that I wore just to annoy people like this. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Found it when go ogling looking for possible remedies/self help for offspring. Can you imagine men looking for help with equivalent issues finding an article that essentially says 'we can't cure you, but at least you're fuckable'? Seething doesn't even begin to cover it! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep How would one go about making one of these dick-wilting dolls? Asking for a friend. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep One of the worst things about this post is that I wouldn't be entirely surprised if studies HAD been conducted on this! In case anyone thinks I'm exaggerating, medical science hasn't yet got around to finding a cure for endo, but did find the time to 'scientifically prove' that women who have it are more attractive because they tend to be slim and have big tits. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22985951/ npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Now I'm jealous. That sounds way more fun than Las Vegas or Blackpool! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I always thought it sounds like Blackpool, only with bells on! Your account seems to confirm my suspicions. I dont think I would enjoy a visit, although I would like to see the nearby desert (if I ever have a passport and money for a flight). npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep So a Karen is just any woman who dares to behave like a man. My dad had a girlfriend called Karen, and I've felt sorry for her ever since her name became an insult. She was really nice. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I've never been, and never would, but I think this sums it up pretty well. https://media.spinster.xyz/859d00db4ff6b677aa5f84f39ba579e5639d6b4964906f796dc1f34effd21363.webp npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep If only someone could invent one that was self-knitting as well.as self-striping! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Whadya mean, hmpf? It would work, and if you did it in the round there wouldn't even be any nasty fiddly ends to see in. And I've just remembered while I was typing that you don't like in the round, but maybe it's worth learning for this? npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That's really nice. You could get a very similar effect using this and a ball of white and switching balls after every row. https://hobbii.co.uk/products/hp-1004702-sultan?variant=54611581469017&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22475061977&gbraid=0AAAAAC9vZSGYImc-CkO1qyCOHttK0aLsW&gclid=CjwKCAjwt-_FBhBzEiwA7QEqyNR9-czPnIzuKtNyon0l81oycOX14BIc9tA2vH6nt7TGC8I-_e9h8BoCB1kQAvD_BwE npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep 'Kids these days listen to terrible music, and they should all get off my damn lawn' -Aristotle (probably) npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep No, but king Charles has a golden carriage worth over 2 million, that he can ride through a city where people sleep on the streets because they can't afort the exorbitant rent on a tiny mouldy flat. I find that quite offensive. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That would be glorious! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I'm not sure that they are less offensive. But yes, they're nothing more than a taxpayer funded tourist attraction. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I don't see how he could have more of a role than any other obscenely rich person. Royals are not part of the government, they're just rich layabouts that we only keep so that tourists will come here to watch them waving from their castles. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep The way she jumps up into her owner's arms at the end! 😍 npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep You stood up for her. That deserves praise, imo. I still remember with gratitude the bloke who stuck up for me by yelling at my dad when he was being an asshole to me, and that was over 30 years ago! Sometimes, something that feels like a small gesture at the time can make a big and lasting impression on the person you did it for. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That rook an unexpected turn! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep This is a bit of a non-story until they say WHO the man and woman are. Could be the couple the girls said they were defending themselves from. Could equally be the girls parents for letting her go out with weapons! It's stupid to urge us not to speculate, whilst releasing incomplete information that invites speculation! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Good! Sounds like the best possible outcome for the kid. If I'm remembering properly, you played a part in making that happen/making the mum aware of what was going on. Good on you for being there for that girl when she needed you. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep More comfortable than carrying a bag and I can't lose my stuff! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Oh my goodness. this is unbelievably cute! I was thinking how great it would be to have a built-in armpit pocket to keep your favourite rocks in like an otter, then I remembered that I carry all sorts of bits and pieces around in my bra, which is pretty much the same thing! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I still use a dumb phone (nokia brick!) so I don't get these. If a nuclear war breaks out, I will be the last to know! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Thank goodness he didn't tweet anything a bit mean, or the judge would have had to jail him. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep It was my favourite way to waste time when I was supposed to be working! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I miss Regretsy, but you just summed up the entire site in two emojis! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep If my dog was fluffier, I might try this! He's getting on and won't be around forever, so it would be nice to have a little part of him when he's gone. I do think people who try to sell things made from their pets' hair are rather odd. You used to see those on Regretsy sometimes. I think the worst offender had even included some nail clippings in her cat hair doily monstrosity. It looked like something you might fish out of a drain! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I've done most of these, but it would be cruel to keep sheep in my tiny back yard. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I did wonder if I would get fewer visits by letting them come in for a look. I'm not going to try it though. I don't let strangers into my house unless they are a trades person and I have booked the visit. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Maybe because you're out in the sticks? I'm in town and have had several. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Did that make them stop? npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep And if you fill in the online forms to tell them you DON'T watch live TV, you still get threatening letters and a visit from an enforcement officer. I haven't had a tv for about 15 years now and they still keep coming. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep In most places, that wouldn't even cover rent. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Not just the prophets. I used to be friends with a woman who was born-again evangelical. Any time there was a big decision to make in that family, the husband would pray about it to see what God wanted them to do. Incredibly, God's wishes always turned out to be exactly the same as the husband's wishes. Funny, that. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep All that word salad, and at the end she's still getting married in a dress! How daring and non-conformist. Also 'When I was young, there was no word for what I was' The word 'androgenous' has existed since the early 17th century, so this writer is either very old, or very dim. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I like the feel of them even though they are a nuisance to make. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Ooh, I like the textured bits on this one. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep It was £2 a ball, and it's pure wool! If I had enough to double up and still get a jumper or a cardigan, I'd probably try it. But I am not small so don't think there would be quite enough. I agree about making one item that uses most/all of it. Might watch a few videos for I aspiration while I finish the cake blanket. What's the pattern you have? npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I'm thinking maybe a crocheted card, except all the patterns I have are for dk and this is 4ply. Could also make a bloody massive shawl. Think I saw a pattern for one with a hood, which looked quite interesting. I've made so many mittens this year that more mittens are not an option. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep https://share.google/64goY88LtTunR2qEa If you accidentally came home from the charity shop with 8 balls of this, what would you make? I wasnt going to buy any more wool/start any more projects before yarndale, but it was too much of a bargain. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That's such a beautiful thing to do for a stranger. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep I call my fattest knitting needles the rolling pins! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep What a lovely way to wake up! Today's my day off, so the day's not really 'going' at all. Need to go out and buy veg later, but other than that I plan to be as lazy as humanly possible. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Sounds like an archaic system of weights and measures. 440 cubits to a furlong, and 3 bampots to a tribe! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep No idea, but it looks too good to be true, so it probably is! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Even more sadly, being adopted does not necessarily mean that the child has their 'forever home'. Adoptions fail (the kid ends up back in the foster system) more often than most people realise. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Did she actually incite anything though? Can't find the bloody tweet anywhere, but I thought she said something along the lines of 'it can burn down for all I care' which I would see more as an expression of strong emotion than an incitement for anyone to act on. She's definitely guilty of poor judgement and stupidity, but I'm not convinced she deserved to go to jail for it. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Huge congratulations! npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Sounds like a frustrating waste of time. Are you sure this is an actual vet and not a trainee doing work experience? You should not be having to teach the supposed professional how to do their job. Hope next visit is better. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Well that's creepy as fuck. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Aww! For some reason, I thought they were going to see something big and scary. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Are the providers being incentivised to advertise everything as inclusive? Do they get mass complaints/protests for turning autistic kids away? I'm struggling to understand why they would be willing to take a child they're not equipped to deal with safely. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That's so sad. I used to be a carer for a disabled child, and my duties involved taking said child swimming. She was quite young at the time, so wanted to be either touching me, or within touching distance of me at all times. She was also small and light enough for me to pick her up if necessary. There's no way I'd be willing to do it now that she's bigger, heavier and more confident in the water. Wouldn't be safe for either of us. Inclusivity is wonderful, but only if it can be done safely. I can't even imagine how terrible the workers who were responsible for that child must be feeling. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep Sadly, I don't think it is reasonable to expect them to be able to participate in everything in the same way as other kids. At my local pool, swimming lessons for NT kids have one adult to about 8 children for the older kids and 4 or 5 for the younger ones. The instructor can't teach the other 7 if one of those kids requires 1:1 (or even higher in some cases) supervision just to keep them safe. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep That must feel like a kick in the teeth. Yours will be better because its real. And no matter how many prizes she wins, she'll only ever be known as that woman who used chat gpt. npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep If she couldn't even be bothered to write it, why should anyone bother to read it? I'm with nick Cave on this: "ChatGPT has no inner being, it has been nowhere, it has endured nothing, it has not had the audacity to reach beyond its limitations, and hence it doesn't have the capacity for a shared transcendent experience, as it has no limitations from which to transcend." npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep When I am feeling so hot that I need to wear my shorts to work, I don't tend to wear a bloody cardigan! Making clothes looser tends to keep you cool better than making them shorter, so really he should be wearing long loose pants. Like an office version of MC Hammer! (showing my age) npub1cnmu3cdgg78c9kmtxw85avfs7lhh0ezj5csmggr9a54k60akm8ssx7pn3d EatKnitSheep What are these inconveniences associated with being a man?
