Wasting time one post at a time

due to factors such as "time pressure" and "tulle is of the devil" my expectations for this shirt are not high. but i spent a lot of time imagining these button bands and they turned out pretty nice

progress on this includes:

  • attached the back and the yoke; did the yoke with wonky little panels for reinforcement(?), as it's not double-layered, and for a fun symmetrical piecing moment
  • attached fronts to back at shoulders (not pictured)
  • constructed a collar and collar stand and arranged Leafs upon it
  • started hand stitching down leafs. it would be more elegant to do this before assembling the collar, but i can't visualize how both the seam allowances and the crease in the collar work + the tulle is itchy if misplaced

have yet to do sleeves, side seams, finishing hand stitching on collar, attaching collar, sleeve plackets (on tulle??), cuffs, Buttonholes (evil to me)

Shirt's done except for finishing the collar handstitching & touching up some of the buttonholes (used a friend's fancy machine with varying success). Lots of things wrong with it that are hard to see from more than three feet away

No pictures of it on me because I have yet to obtain a suitable layering piece which is a really funny problem to have!

buttons!!!!!!

Just came back from the Barbie movie and realized something as an LA local

Ken walked more than 2 hours away from Barbie when he discovered toxic masculinity.

This himbo walked 14 miles in one day and left Barbie to have an existential crisis for like 5 hours. I love this movie

this is so upsetting, PLEASE rb to spread awareness

PLEASE, PLEASE REBLOG THIS, WHETHER YOURE JEWISH OR NOT.

THIS IS A SUPER IMPORTANT PART OF OUR HISTORY, DONT LET IT GET DESTROYED.

I love lying to kids. It's so fun. My coworker's daughter said she speaks 2 languages and I said I spoke 17,000 and she narrowed her eyes at me and was like "... no you don't" and it was the cutest thing.

The last time I saw her I told her I was a "half-magician" that can only do 50% of a trick, and I showed her how I can tear a piece of paper in two but can't make it come back together, and she got soooo annoyed with me. Absolutely adorable. Lying to children is the best

I just saw something that looks very mundane but is extremely rare and incredible. Details later, gotta drive home.

OKAY SO

The plan was to go there friday, but as you recall, I got lost in the forest looking for cool rocks and there just wasn’t time. So I took the detour on my way back.

Here is the setting. We are at the bottom of a disused quarry. We took an hour detour and walked here for a little while and maybe you don’t really know why I’m excited yet.

At first, unless you’re a geology geek (I am not, btw), you might just be thinking, ah, rocks.

But what if we move closer?

Okay, big slab of rock. Some cracks and pockets in it. And?

Come even closer.

What’s the big deal? It’s just a rock with some marks in it. It looks so boring and ordinary and why did I even drag you to this quarry and am making you look at boring rocks?

Because. COME CLOSER.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT?

TOUCH THE LITTLE ROUND MARKS IN THE ROCK. PUT YOUR HAND OVER THEM AND FEEL THE RUSH OF HISTORY.

I AM SORRY TO BE YELLING BUT I AM VERY EXCITED.

YOU ARE LOOKING AT THE FOSSILISED FOOTPRINTS OF…

OUR ANCESTOR!

OKAY OKAY I had to add the meme for effect BUT this wouldn’t be the one in the picture, who is still a fish with fins. The tracks belong to a creature with four legs : A TETRAPOD!

Who may have looked and walked like this:

YES!!!!!These little pocks in the rock are footprints that show the path of a tetrapod crawling out of the sea, and they are approximately 495 million years old!!!

Why did the tetrapod come out of the water? Well, apparently there were invertebrates to feed on, and they left marks too:

So that was the coolest thing I saw this year for sure :D

Is it verified that it's authentic? Because if so that is incredible
