fraggles:
have a 30 minute work week
engage in mutual aid and outreach and live in harmony
are against unjustified hierarchy, such as the gorgs
and they love to dance their cares away, worries for another day. they let the music play, down at fraggle rock

I found a #knitting blog several years ago that I've since lost and been sad about that. It was by someone (female-presenting, I believe) who was knitting around-the-wrist swatches and wearing them for several days, to test blocking and wear and pilling and comfort.

If anyone can point me in the direction of it, I would be very grateful! I think of it often, and wish I'd bothered to bookmark it!

urls often contain tracking information added to the end of them. when you are linking articles, stuff like the "utm_source" and "fbclid" sections allow people to track where you got the link from and how you are spreading it. this allows cops & corps to map out social groups.

while you can remove that stuff by hand, there's a firefox/chrome addon called "neat URL" that comes with an existing blocklist that automatically cleans off a lot of that stuff.

What's a good non-sweary substitute for "fucked"? As in "I want to work for your bicycle company because I want to feel like we as a species are not totally fucked"

I’m not suggesting that companies need to host every file they make forever I’m just saying it should still be possible to install service packs for Windows 2000 via the internet

I THOUGHT UP A THING I don't know if it'll work.

In #minecraft

If I have a cobblestone bridge.

And I pour lava out so it flows out onto the bridge and into the ocean
Will it make more bridge for me?

Okay, updates.

A) None of the striking workers appear to have called on consumers to boycott Amazon during the strike.* So proceed in the way you believe best supports the striking workers.

B) sunglasses

C) The strike, currently, involves workers nationwide in Germany** and in Shakopee, MN, USA***. Other US Amazon workers do not appear to be striking.

D) The US strike is focused on free one-day shipping*, so--

I guess I don't have to see the new Godzilla movie now. It'll probably be just as boring and stressful as this Two Men Being Large At Each Other fight.

(Godzilla fans don't @ me, monster movies are not my thing)

I was all set for the Nikki Cross fight to go somewhere, like either they win and Alexa refuses to share the title, or Bayley wins and Alexa blames Nikki

But like nothing happened

I just want the one who's like me to not get screwed over

(Side note: even if Nikki gets screwed, she's still incredibly over, which is good at least)

I just want Nikki Cross to be okay and find friends who respect her, and maybe incidentally win the belt

also I want to fight the commentary team

#ExtremeRules

Somehow found myself watching Extreme Rules with @Canageek. First match gave me an idea for a fantasy novel: an optimistic young hero, who nobody thinks much of because they’re such cliched typical hero material, but turns out to be descended from a death god who occasionally shows up to help their decendant win fights

Y'all have been amazing about content warnings so far, but could all y'all *please* be descriptive with your content warnings so folks know what they're getting into when they click that show more button?

"hard topic," "tough news," and things like that aren't descriptive enough to prepare someone for something like, to use a recent example, discussion of the recent shooting death of an anti-ICE activist in Seattle by the authorities.
