@annasvavrum@artisan.chat that makes sense :) thanks!

@annasvavrum@artisan.chat thanks, I was planning on doing both but assumed it might be easier to use one to get the fit right, then use that as a template for the other? Or is it better to fit both layers separately? :)

Since folk seem fairly active on here, looking for . Taking this down a size and the top fabric is doing some mega fraying, when doing the resizing should I use the lining or the top layer to get the fit right? Worried about handling things too much

Meat eaters jump to
"get off your high horse" very quickly when talking to . I think it's cause it's hard to eat a horse when someone is sat on it

I seem to struggle maintaining more than 1 "hobby" at a time so reading has taken a nose dive since I started more :( Guess I just need to work less lol

There is no "overpopulation".
There is an "underdistribution".

That is a feature of Capitalism.
Creating unbearable conditions of inequality is the mechanism through which the Capitalism-ideologues brag of enticing or forcing people to labor for the further enrichment of the unproductive already rich into unusable opulence.
We have very many times the resources we need, just not where it is needed, because of Capitalism's inherently low efficiency.

Soph picked me up a copy of 's , I have never been big on (or writing in books generally...) but going to try and force myself into a routine for this :/ may need an :p

UK illegal migration bill 

Genuinely gutted at the lows our government can reach "in our name", the illegal migration bill is disgusting, immoral and probably illegal yet we plow on

Pls boost so I can show my wife how a toot can go round the world

@EllenInEdmonton I've just finished an evening course at a local college so wanted something to cram in as much learning as I could! Enjoyed it so now gotta work out what to make next!

Why do you think Google has so many chat apps instead of everyone just working to make one or two of them great?

I finally got round to finishing off my first project! The shirt is "done", shoulders are a bit rough and some stray frayed bit on the paisley fabric (more delicate than I'd expected)

Last day before so doing some with for company. Shirt 1 is nearly there, it's a bit scrappy in places and needs buttons/hemming but hopefully be done in time for our sewing class "graduation" dinner next week! Record is downward spiral collab

Been a adf fan for aaaages and saw this in a wee record shop. One of my favourite albums from the last few years it's an epic blend of satire, political commentary and banging beats

Think it's fair to describe myself as sceptical when it comes to ai hype BUT ai DJ is something I can fully get behind. Basically jumps about between mixes/playlists I'd listen to anyway but I don't have to think bout it!

Noticing a lot of instance admins lately who are feeling pretty down.

Please remember that the vast majority of admins and moderators in this space do not do this work as a day job, nor as paid work. They have other projects and deadlines and bills and family and actual living plants. Please have the good grace to be patient with them 💜

*By which I mean do not abuse, harass, dox, threaten etc. Jeez.
