Discussing the Jo-Laurie relationship in Little Women…
@knitterjp (a mature person): But of course, none of us really wanted Jo to get married, do we?
Me (the opposite): No – but I did want her to FRICKIN’ 👏 HIT 👏 THAT 👏
@NickyWill100 @knitterjp Oh, I did think he was great! Just didn’t buy him as much as adult on-a-bender Laurie.
Me: “The Snook had no knowledge of any plot point in Little Women!! It blew my mind! That’s like… it’s like… not knowing the relationship between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker!”
@LynShoemark: “…who and who??”
😱🤯
(NOBODY TELL HER. WE’RE GOING TO MAKE HER WATCH IT!!)

@gilmae We own gloves. I’m just an idiot.
I nominate “Ninjaneer” as the worst portmanteau of 2020. (And yes, I realise it’s only January 8.)
@twasink Nono no I retract that gauntlet!!
@hannes_lowette Spotted on a LinkedIn job advert, if you can believe it. *shudder*
@hannes_lowette Now I suppose the question is whether @dylanbeattie can rhyme it with anything… 🤔

@gilmae Hm. Maybe @igorlgentil can enlighten us?
@mootpointer I was delighted to discover recently while surfing AO3 that people have actually written fanfic about being a horrible goose. 😂
@igorlgentil @gilmae Who in the heck is Gilmar??
I stupidly cut some peppers for dinner last night without wearing gloves. “14 hours, a shower, and multiple hand washings should make it okay to put in my contacts, right?” Nope. 😭🌶

@bec_h2o What did you end up getting?
@bec_h2o Ooh, I was very interested in the Bernette 77, but ultimately opted for the Janome Skyline S5. https://t.co/bDISUDr11H
@Opheli8 @DDsD 😂👏
@BartholomewD You reckon? I read a lot of folks who thought this version of her read as “neuroatypical,” which I found at least somewhat interesting.
@BartholomewD I mean, I also liked it but didn’t LOVE it. But that wasn’t the reason for me.
@BartholomewD I didn’t like the jumbled up timeline. I get why she did it, and why it wasn’t all about romance, but I spent the whole time thinking about that aspect rather than getting caught up in the story.
@BartholomewD Yeah, that made it difficult. I also felt like Jo’s hair grew back *really* fast!

First finished knitting project in ages! Easy Eyelet Yoke Lite in Hobbii Twister (cotton/acrylic). Colour is, appropriately, “Jungle.” Details going up on Rav shortly… https://t.co/tBDu8Kwayp https://t.co/sw8T5Gbz2P
