People have already pointed out the lack of regulations to keep pedestrians safe but oh my god we are not spreading false info about the “coffee being too hot” in 2024. The woman who sued about that literally received 3rd degree burns on her labia please look shit up.
Hey just throwing this out there, but full-on adults demanding to see the messages exchanged between that guy and a minor is very weird because you're trying to force a child to come forward about being victimized and that sure is gross!
@deathbybadger
I have so many questions about Pokémon professors. Are their labs funded by grants? Do they have Ph.Ds? What does the board of ethics look like? Are there Pokémon professors who lost funding for their research and haven’t been able to defend their dissertations???
Just want to put it out there that it takes such an *incredible* amount of bravery and strength to be a marginalized person and speak your truth against huge companies like Rooster Teeth and Warner Brothers.
I hope the rail workers strike. I truly do. I hope they strike and it just absolute destroys the holiday season so that maybe people will start throwing eggs at the people who couldn't dig deep to give them a single fucking sick day.
Today in “White Woman Don’t Know How To Act”: a woman took something she wanted *out of my shopping cart* at Target and her justification was that it was the last one 🙃
She REFUSED to acknowledge that she took it out of someone else’s cart!
Fondly remembering how my high school banned an out Lesbian from being featured in the yearbook because she wore a tux instead of a drape and her mom took out a two-page spread in the back of the book and had the photo printed there. Iconic. We love malicious compliance.
There was a comment in this reddit post that I think is really important: Someone asked why there's so little documentation on Yasuke, but it's pointed out that what little we have is actually quite a robust historical record!
@KeezyBees
Hinkle's exgirlfriend is dating Jonah Hill now and people are like "You must be really bad if your hot girlfriend will date a fat guy".
Maybe Jonah Hill is really nice and they have a lot in common and also isn't a white supremacist?
This is not important AT ALL right now, but some white dudes spent $80k to buy the domain knitting dot com and wrote a blog post about how they think they invented ravelry and they are getting SMOKED by the knitting community.
It sucks telling people who could be my support system they can’t move to Seattle to see their family because shitty townhomes built in 2005 are going for 700k and people who bought houses from a Sears catalog in 1987 for ten dollars are in charge of all the laws somehow.

Listen the minute the sun goes down I am fisting handfuls of shredded cheese right out the bag and eating ravioli out of the can. This is no time for pride.
I've said next to nothing about the WOTC summit (was not invited, that's fine) but I do find it VERY interesting that someone who claims to be a journalist who very much built an entire platform on sowing dissent has never heard of an industry summit before lmaoooo
This is actually a really good and cool use of microalgae and surprising no one, everyone is dunking on it without having actually read about it at all and they just wanna be Right Randals about something.
Ladies, if you wanna put your ass on the TL, just fucking do it because you could literally be wearing a pantsuit and be accused of selling sex by every bozo with a keyboard.
Buy that Bordelle set and post the yams on main. I am rooting for you regardless.
She is a perfect example of what I’m referring to. When we were kids we didn’t constantly see professional women selling sex to build a brand unless they were musicians/actors. We saw them just do their jobs. Girls are bombarded with this kinda stuff. It all adds up.
The act of creation for the sake of it is radical. The act of slowing down and taking one's time to create art is radical. This is another example of "innovation" completely missing the mark.
@butchanarchy
Literally just having this conversation with a friend about how I don't feel like I'm allowed to experience joy because it doesn't further capitalism! One mind!!
So, not that very long ago, a couple of tech dudes used their bootstrap funds to buy the knitting dot com domain and claimed they were going to "disrupt" fiber arts, as if that hadn't already been happening without them >>
Ok ok I can’t wait anymore! MAGIKARP TAIYAKI PAN!!!!
I bought “random box” of Pokémon items for $20 at a garage sale and this was inside with some Pokémon cards (none worth anything more than a few $), plastic poke balls, and a few plushies. I had no idea how much it was worth!
I found a Pokemon holy grail item at a local garage sale and I am FREAKING OUT about it. What do you think I bought for $20 that regularly goes for $800 on eBay?
The world is in shambles and I’ve been very anxious, in addition to having Birthday Anxiety, so my spouse arranged for me to go to a fancy tea by myself so I could read a happy book.
If you want to learn to knit, I encourage you to find your local yarn store and see if they offer classes. If they don't, VeryPinkKnits on YouTube is the best out there.
Support indie dyers!
@ohnoitskelley
is one of my faves and their yarn supports all sorts of stuff!
If you can't find it in your heart to see why the people fighting for a better future of D&D are more than just "adults pretending to be wizards", you never got it in the first place. You didn't even try and you were never going to attempt to do so.
And if you're not sure: This isn't about a group of "grandmas" bullying some hard-working innovators. This is not gatekeeping. Fiber arts and handcraft do not *need* disruption. They are disruptive at their core.
Attention Parents! 🚨
A teacher in Palm Beach County, FL shared this template with us. It is being shared among teachers to use for grades K-3.
How do you feel about this? What will you do when this arrives home in your child’s backpack?
Time to take a Stand.
Just locked eyes with a Hijabi in the student union building as we both stared at the same person eating pizza.
I mouthed the word "soon" to her and she nodded and mouthed it back.
It was great.
This is your daily reminder that teenagers are still children and therefore, are part of a vulnerable class of people who rely on actual adults to keep them safe.
Asking a child to be publicly traumatized isn't it!
As expected, they got absolutely suplexed into the core of the earth by the online fiber arts community (which they deserved). I'm talking Space Jam Bugs Bunny Michael Jordan levels of dunkage.
"But Hadeel, it's not the fault of normal people that the rail workers don't get PTO. What about their Christmas presents?"
When I say I truly hope it ruins this holiday season, I mean it. It's called solidarity and it's not meant to be comfortable or fun.
The old Metro customer service desk (and the thousands of square feet of empty floor space) at Westlake Station is a major missed opportunity for Sound Transit.
This space could easily generate thousands (tens of thousands?) in additional revenue every day for ST as a cafe.
Hey everyone! I'm sure you've heard by now, but I'm running for local office! All campaign updates will be on
@hadeelfor46

Thanks for all of the encouragement and support while I made this decision. I love my neighbors and I love my neighborhood! Let's go!
I think a lot of people encountering historical record for the first time don't really keep in mind how time period/class structure/caste/education/etc plays a part in the records we have.
It's so wild to me that like, these Republicans in Seattle with huge followings seem to have highly negative and very regular interactions with houseless people. I live next to Aurora and have had maybe one actual negative interaction that was just a misunderstanding?
Heya, trainer! I’m Dr. Twitty, a Pokémon professor! It’s time to choose your starter. They’ll be your companion on your quest to be the very best, so choose wisely!
Why do I keep seeing this like, absolute banana pancakes trends of people openly admitting to hating their spouses, their kids, their friends, their family, etc?
The way people have taken "have boundaries" to mean "fuck y'all, I got mine" is just wild to me.
Did I take part in this "bullying" and "witch hunt"? Yes, of course I did and I'd do it again too! And it looks like my time as come because Ol' Boys finally have product out and y'all.
Y'ALL.
Some lady snapped at me in the airport bathroom “it’s not a fashion show, sweetie” on her way out. It’s not even five in the morning, please chill lmao!!!
LRT: One of the hard truths of journalism is that sometimes you're going to get things wrong and you're going to have to walk things back. LC double-triple-quadrupled down and threw a bunch of BIPOC creators under the bus while doing so.
I saw a sewing machine that was *knee press* operated the other day that had adaptive accessories. Sizing is the most inclusive it has ever been and continues to include different bodies.
We are already innovative.
Just had the realization that my generation is the last one that can claim that a "computer virus" was responsible for downloading the Kirk/Spock porn onto the family computer and it was absolutely not something you did in full view of your mom's painting of the Virgin Mary.
I can only speak about the fiber arts, but innovation has been happening without tech bros for a very long time. Knitting has become more accessible *because* of the people in the craft. Knitting machines, different yarn blends, online shopping, etc.
@Akitron
I was just thinking about this the other day. Western white feminism cannot fathom the concept of the doting uncles and babas and jiddas. These men are our families and our community members and they deserve to be spared all of this.
We have been in a pandemic for 2 years. We have been using Zoom for 2 years.
So for two years, you should have learned that you gotta mute yourself when it's not your turn. YOU GOTTA MUTE YOURSELF WHEN IT'S NOT YOUR TURN.
I paid off my loans, on my own, with no assistance.
I want debt cancelled for everyone, without receiving any sort of kickback for myself :)
Thanks for playing!
Another day, another random white tech dude at Green Lake Park trying to play "Guess The Ethnicity" with me when I very much do not want that and I simply want to drink my hot chocolate and look at ducks in peace.
