Our community whataspp might have saved someone's life last night. It is... odd to think of that. It is ok to not be ok, people. Call for help before you reach for any way out that is too end-game.

@surreality Soooo pretty! I feel you with delays in fun stuff because of pain

@Grayson This made a particular effort! I won't buy from that company again but I now have little notes on it.

And a reminder to myself that my machine has a buttonhole setting and men's buttons go on the one side...

@JinShei You mightily kicked that pattern's ass, bad instructions or no! That came out great.

Also: you clearly have something that's so vital, not even kidding. All the stuff you've shown is with excellent choices of good quality materials, tasteful colors and patterns. Nobody can really teach that, and it's such a huge part of 'making stuff well'.

I made a thing. The waistcoat, not the man. Seven hours. Patterns need better instructions.

@Quinn I am so sorry for your loss

I did a reflective session with my students who are in practice. Just giving them a space to talk about their feelings, and it ended with such positivity and pride I could have cried. So. Bloody. Proud.

While we're busting a gut delivering food to people who are vulnerable and isolated, the people two doors up had their family over for a party that carried on until past midnight outside. The same people whose kid chanted at us while we walked past with the dog "we're in isolation". Guess they gave up on that.

@Kestrel What makes me mad is that it keeps clogging up my social media feed except -- this meme doesn't even have the worst one. Namely that Corona doesn't even exist, it's all 5G radiation killing people.

Oh my town was doing that way before the virus came along. The believing about 5G, I mean, not the killing people.

@Aria Oh MYYYY

@Aria I highly recommend them. The PRETTYYYYYY

@Aria Seen Bravissimo?

Ok. I give in. The sourdough experiment has now gone into the food waste bin. I refuse to feel like a failure because it was eating flour and not doing anything!

Also. I thought it was Friday today.

For the UK people.

@Rinel

I'm trying to teach from Zoom. I finally just had to put my head down and laugh as the first ten minutes were "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!" <mouth moves with no sound> "TRY TO PICK UP YOUR MIC/TAKE OFF YOUR HEADPHONES!" <silent yelling for parent> "LOOK AT MY POOP!" (thankfully, the last was a stuffed poop emoji. I still almost died.)

There was also the one with the little brother who was totally naked who just sat in the background.

We're using big blue button for teaching my uni class. The first ten minutes is mic problems, and then dogs and children, and partners... and someone has to leave for a shift and ... emotional support because they are all nursing students. TBH I do an hour of teaching and give them stuff to do on moodle.

@Auspice I got my daughter to cut mine yesterday alongside the boys. ...
