I didn’t know Mr. T pityed fool’s that weren’t woke, but that’s awesome. #respect

“I think about my father being called ‘boy’, my uncle being called ‘boy’, my brother, coming back from Vietnam and being called ‘boy’. So I questioned myself: “What does a black man have to do before he’s given the respect as a man?” So when I was 18 years old, when I was old enough to fight and die for my country, old enough to drink, old enough to vote, I said I was old enough to be called a man. I self-ordained myself Mr. T so the first word out of everybody’s mouth is “Mr.” That’s a sign of respect that my father didn’t get, that my brother didn’t get, that my mother didn’t get.“

-Mr. T on the subject of his name

I had no idea he put this much thought into this wow

well damn…or just anxiety

Accurate

Damm

that is some next level knot magic.

 it isn’t though!!! it’s because most relationships aren’t worth the effort. The “sweater curse” is actually most commonly called the “BOYFRIEND sweater curse.” Which=heteronormative, but the curse most often falls on a woman knitting a sweater for a boyfriend. Before she finishes the sweater, they break up - pop culture would have you believe it’s because the boyfriend freaks out do to the weirdness/clinginess of having a sweater made for you, but I think knitters are wiser than that.

It’s because after spending serious £££ on materials, and then HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF LABOR on the creation of the item, with every stitch a prayer of totally focused intent, creating a large display of technical skill - it is then gifted to a non-knitter who does NOT APPRECIATE the work/effort/skill/cost/TIME it took to make it, and in fact thinks you’re a bit weird and making a big deal out of a piece of clothing, and after they go “oh thanks” and shove your creation in the cupboard next to a sweater they got for £15 at an M&S sale, then they never wear your sweater because it’s too tight because when you asked them how their favorite sweaters usually fit they said “I ‘unno” and when you measured them for the fifth time and asked, rather tersely, if they had enough room in the chest, they said “I guess,” and then if pressed they say they don’t really like the sweater design, but then you point out that they were supposed to participate in helping you design it and they say they don’t really care about how things look, and when you say that you tried to match it to their other clothes so how can they hate it, then they say that honestly their mother still buys all their clothes because they hate going shopping, and that they hate all their other clothes too, well. That’s when a sensible knitter goes “Fuck this shit. And you know what? Fuck this man.”

This is what happens when someone posts in a knitting forum “Attack of the sweater curse!” - this is the usual story. It has a rigid plot. It is as old as myth.

That’s when you look at the time you spent and realize, “I could LITERALLY have written the first draft of a novel instead of doing this.” That’s when you go “I could have taken that £200 and bought myself a new wardrobe.” That’s when you go “I could have taken all that intent, all that willpower, all that creative force, and laid down some fucking witchcraft, all right?” That’s when you go “I basically spent 100 hours straight thinking about this bastard while making something amazing for him, and I have no evidence that he ever spent 10 hours of his life thinking about me.”

And “I could spend this time and energy and money in making myself an enormous, intricate heirloom silk shawl with just a touch of cashmere, in elvish twists and leafy lace in all the colors of the night, shot through with subtly glittering stars, warm in winter and cool and summer and light as a lover’s kiss on the shoulders, suitable for draping over my arms at weddings or wrapping myself in to watch the sea, a lace-knotted promise to myself that I will keep for my entire life and gift to my favorite granddaughter when I die, and she will wear it to keep alive my memory - but instead I have this sweater, and this fuckboy.”

The sweater curse is a lesson that the universe gives to a knitter at an important point in their life. It is a gift.

Knitting a sweater for a husband or wife generally doesn’t call down the curse, because the relationship is meant to be stronger than 4-ply.

(Although I say this, but I’ve taken over 5 years to finish a pair of mittens for my husband, because he casually asked me to do something customized with the cables, and I still can’t get the math to work on the right hand.)

this post is so much better with that commentary

Fuck yes.

Hey @elodieunderglass! How’re the mittens coming along?

It is 2020, we recently marked 9 years of marriage and no progress has been made

who else is in the “didn’t realize sheep have long tails until i was like 20″ club

Undocked unrestrained

The reason most farmers dock (cut off) the tails is to prevent fly strike, an often lethal infection of fly larvae in the rear of the sheep. Without a (VERY FLUFFY) tail for fecal matter to accumulate on, fly strike is almost completely eliminated!

there is a wide variety of similar treatments for farm animals that are entirely for the animals well being pigs get their tail curled and tusks removed as babies so they dont accidentally nip each other while playing or stab each other just walking around- even a small tail nip might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood goats/cows often have their horns removed as babies as well both for obvious reasons to prevent stabbings but also to prevent them from growing in weird that can cause pain and infection for the animal chickens and other poultry, especially pet ones or hobby farms, might have their flight feathers clipped to prevent them from flying over fences, where their life expectancy is nill outside the farm/owners enclosure

Very good and valid points but please tell me what you mean by “might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood” before I lose my marbles

Pigs are omnivores and cannibals. Fun fact if you ever have need to dispose of a body, tossing it in a pigpen will get rid of it real fast.

There’s a reason why everyone went into a full blown panic when Dorothy fell into the pigpen in the Wizard of Oz. Pigs are vicious.

im 100% sure this move was created when their combined 4 braincells were fucking around

I hear the beat of We Will Rock You

omg now I can’t UNHEAR IT

NO WATERMARKS

I just want to discuss the wives in Bohemian Rhapsody because I love them all???

especially Chrissy like the sunglasses pushed up into her hair, that gorgeous dress (the fact that they’re all 3 rocking beautiful long dresses like yes) and the way she’s looking at her husband like I love it?

and then Dominique’s got a darker colour scheme and I love her for that like she looks cool and hip

and Veronica’s got that soft and sweet look, like very nice and innocent, which I think fits with Deaky perfectly and also the fact that they’re in basically the same position in this shot! I think there’s a bit of a difference (her hands to me say nervous and unassuming whereas his pose is maybe a bit more confident? it’s like his full hand over hand, versus her gripping her fingers) but like the fact that they’re somewhat mirroring each other’s mannerisms, like that is a true married couple right there, I stan. (and actually as the only couple that lasted, it really does work)

I love them. my wives now too.

This famous stamp featuring Freddie Mercury started a lot of controversy— and not for the reason you’d think.

After Freddie’s passing, he was kindly put on a British stamp in 1999. Keep in mind these stamps only feature people who have passed, and members of the Royal Family. However, Roger Taylor is very apparent at his drum set in the background, making him the first living person, not part of the Royal Family, to be featured on one of these stamps.

I’m transcribing an article where Queen is being interviewed about their critics in early 1974 and Freddie, Brian, and Roger are all talking over each other to talk shit about the critics and apparently John has just been asleep this whole time and they just woke up him up which is about as good of a description of Queen that I can give you 😂

Other on brand things in this interview:

1. Roger and Brian arguing during the whole interview apparently

2. Freddie top two complaints about the critics being how they didn’t bother to learn anything about Roger and John and how they used a picture which made his arms look fat and he is NOT fat

3. Roger, Brian, and Freddie spending the whole interview saying that they are specifically not just hype and they are a great band who are wildly successful and then John being asked about their success and saying that their success is all their mums buying all the records and hype.

Deaky is such a troll
