@smk@expressional.social Orv, tak fordi du spurgte dine kloge kolleger! Det giver maleriet en masse mere at tænke og tolke på. Det er skønt at få det serveret ét ad gangen på tidslinjen. Det er en helt anden oplevelse end at besøge museer, og det komplementerer hinanden så godt!

@smk@expressional.social Jeg er nysgerrig på baggrunden. Det ligner en mand, der kærtegnes af en engel, men det er svært at se - er det en del af maleriet, måske mørknet af alder? Eller et genbrugt lærred? Det er skønt at få lidt kunst med kontekst ind på tidslinjen 💕

I made a leather thimble out of scraps I saved from some old boots. I left the thread tied in a bow in case I need to adjust it later, so now my middle finger feels very sexy. 🌝

@linguacelta@toot.wales suggested superglueing a second piece of leather inside on the pad, and the result is rock hard. Great idea!

Any recs for good, comfortable thimbles for #sewing by hand? Needs to accomodate long nails. My classic metal bucket shaped thimble just annoys me, so I keep taking it off, but my new blisters tell me I should probably be using it. 🫣

I'm considering digging out some leather scraps and making a leather thimble, but I fear it'll wear out quickly and I don't want to have to keep making them. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

I'm hyperfocused on #sewing at the moment, and since watching Twin Peaks for the first time recently, I can't stop thinking up black and white chevron and red velvet outfits.

It's hard to find wide stripes on garment fabrics though, and I'd probably be out of my depth with the pattern drafting. Trying to both get it to fit and get perfectly aligned chevrons at the same time sounds like a headache...

Watching The Closet Historian with all her gothy vintage stripes just makes me want it more 😖

The amount of sass that tech shoves in my face pisses me off. I didn't "forget" to leave a review. I don't want to be reminded later. I don't want to be polite and say "no thanks," because I didn't want to see the damn popup in the first place! But even the option to say "no thanks" insteas of "fuck off" is a best case scenario these days.

Moving on from Windows has helped, but websites and emails are still a big offender. It feels so icky. Like I'm being tone policed by a stalker.

@wmd@chaos.social Thank you! 💖

Getting my tonsils yoinked today. Goodbye, stinky lumps of trash!

It's a minor procedure, but I haven't been under general anaesthetic before, so I'm slightly apprehensive.

@tyiart I'd love to have the audacity to just quote the fourth drawing when someone asks me what I do for work 😸 (In reality, nobody is malicious in asking that question, so I'm not gonna sass them)
