Pittsburgh Strawberry-Pretzel Salad

Someone made this dessert for a staff party earlier this summer. When I read the label, the dish sounded unfamiliar, yet the first mushy too-sweet bite unleashed a flood of nostalgia. Y’all, I had forgotten about the Pittsburgh Strawberry-Pretzel Salad! A staple of the many wakes my parents dragged us to, honoring dead great-aunts and -uncles I didn’t know I knew (”We didn’t see anything wrong with bringing kids to funerals. I thought it was important for you guys to understand. Death is just a part of life.”–My dad in a recent conversation about genealogy.)

must make!

somebody brought one of these to a work potluck at my last jorb and while at first i was very skeptical, i ate it and it was incredible

I made a giant worm on string! (featuring regular worm for scale - and then my hand!) he’s big! 155cm of worm!

Normally I’m very good at suspension of disbelief but I cannot get over the sisters and nurses of Call the Midwife somehow knitting what is clearly a crocheted baby blanket.

tv shows like, never have a fiber arts consultant and it drives me up a fucking wall. here i made a tag about it 

I designed and made a pigeon jumper. My most recent resolved project was documenting my daily experiences through textiles. I see pigeons every day so I made a jumper about them.

While I was making this jumper, my friend @elodieunderglass told me about Kyoto Ohata’s pigeon shoes, which I distantly remember from tumblr. I like this tendency to relate to animals through representing them in a way that, ultimately, isn’t actually relevant to the animal. Pigeons like food, I brought no food, they would have no reason to be interested in me. But I still tried!

Do you have a pattern for this jumper? I showed it to my mom and she absolutely loves it.she knits day in and day out and recently adopted 2 baby pigeons.

Hello! I don’t have a straightforward pattern because I improvised a lot. That is how I work in the studio in my ~*fine art practise*~, but as a knitter, nothing fills me with more horror than the idea of wading through a poorly written and entirely untested pattern, so I shan’t inflict such a thing on your mother.

^^^ extremely important further information from Pear….. receive it gratefully…. ^^^

i love this explanation of process honestly maybe even a little more than i would have loved a pattern, and i also love pigeons and textiles so here we are, my friends

lol, most of the posts that got tagged by the horrible tumblr algorithm for me are pictures of bruises and cuts! and then, it’s wedding pictures! some collages i made in high school! pictures of a cool plant! a braid i did for a friend! a couple pictures of me in shorts that i guess showed too much leg! hope it was worth it to break your stupid website that much more @staff

@with-boots yeah actually after i posted this i got them all successfully repealed, i just had to gripe about it lol

@mappingthemoon last night my blog had an alert at the top telling me to review my supposedly NSFW posts which is what started my aforementioned outrage, so, nope, they now put them all together for you at tumblr.com/blog/[your blog name]/review

Sketches by Susan Kare, who designed the famous Mac icons.

“for the record” by fierce pussy, 2013

In her latest single, Grimes sings from the perspective of an evil computer who wants to enslave humanity. Her public image is so bad right now that nobody can tell if she’s being ironic or if she, a known evil computer, actually wants to enslave humanity.

Kanopy has added so many new movies! Including: Lady Bird, Moonlight, The Florida Project, First Reformed… They also have access to selected Criterion films and have an actual classic film selection. Tons and tons of movies by women. Also, they have access to sooo many documentaries from all over the world.

If you aren’t familiar with Kanopy, it is a movie database accessible through many libraries (unfortunately not all - but its audience seems to be growing. Ask your librarians about it). If you’re a resident of New York State, you can apply for the NYPL library card and gain access to Kanopy (that’s what I do). Many academic libraries have access to it as well.

denver library got it!
