    Last night I discovered that Willow is on Disney+, and the Snook had never seen it. We got to the part where they meet Fin Raziel, and to our immense surprise realised she was a brushtail possum! As a kid in the US, I never knew what the hell animal that was meant to be. https://t.co/TfMWKNLY9F


    RT @desplesda: we’re writing a book, and @parisba wanted to include a galaxy brain meme in it. problem is, we don’t have the rights to thos…


    Knitting with Kris – let’s experiment with some cap sleeves! Casting on with corrugated ribbing… https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/IjTxWpipsn


    My knitting stream has gotten so popular that today a guy created three separate accounts just to harass me in the comments. So, uh, yay for being a woman on the Internet? 😐


    @AliciaBytes Oh, he wasn’t asking me out. He wanted me to know he found me unattractive. 🙄 Banned repeatedly.


    @KaiPMDH Yup. But on the upside, I got to learn some more about Twitch moderation tools and the other folks on the stream were super nice and reported them too.


    @Japh Aw, thanks. Just a drive-by shitposter. I’ve already given them more mental energy than they deserve. 🙂


    My Valentine made me a Persian Love Cake. ❤️ Almonds, cardamom, yoghurt, orange blossom water, pomegranate, pistachios… https://t.co/WqsntwZkb1


    @carmenhchung You’ll be amazing. Best of luck!

    And to go with the Persian Love Cake – Loobia Polo, traditional Persian dish of meat, rice, and green beans.

    Phew. Wool arrived just in time! But wow, the dye lot for the blue-green (Watery) is *very* different 8 years later… https://t.co/Znfs0raQYr


    @darkosubotica I believe you Berlin weirdoes call them pfannkuchen. 😛


    Knitting with Kris: Time to join up the shoulders of Orkney and try it on so Sleeve Decisions can be made! 🧶 https://t.co/SGy8OKVXiF https://t.co/Ao5XeflYTz


    To sleeve or not to sleeve… That is the question. 🤔🧶 https://t.co/fBelTH0tSH


    @hoegertn @darkosubotica In Bayern they’re krapfen!


    Homemade Korean bing bread (with potatoes, bacon, cheese), sour cream butter, and zucchini side dish. (I let the bread get a little too dark, but it was still tasty!) https://t.co/cp5cCagOD9


    I have devolved to reading fanfic in which a Slanket is a major plot point. (Putting that $100K degree to good use…)

    @Amys_Kapers @troyhunt Ours was a Daikin but didn’t have that wall unit, just a remote control. @the_snook used LIRC + Raspberry Pi + IR blaster sitting across the room. Original version had a webhook that I built an Alexa Skill for, but then he integrated directly with Home Assistant.


    @MichelePlayfair @Amys_Kapers @damovisa Um… actually I kind of like that ball of yarn. As a knitter, I appreciate it as an objet d’art. (I wouldn’t drop $17K on one, mind you.)


    @darkosubotica This is why I have a “Good Stuff” file with your name on it! 🙂
