I kind of suspected that this orchid would die on me but it seems to be happy down there with the cat grass. Pearl likes it too.

writing your own weaving software

pros:

  • you can add exactly the features you want
  • generate WIFs without paying buttloads of money

cons:

  • weird bugs
  • pain in the ass
  • doesn't make you cool

anyways this used to be on glitch but it kept running out of memory or something so I just have it running locally now. it's better that way?

the x files episode about a man getting alien abducted out an emergency row door hits different in 2024

"flight 549 was a new plane. it had no wear and tear"

"under normal operation this could never happen"

I've been hearing from my (former 🫠) coworkers that everyone is furious about what happened this morning

imo nothing is funnier than watching people step on rakes, and this is a very expensive and stupid rake to step on

but the thing that really makes me feel good is that someone asked pointed and insubordinate questions at the impromptu all hands they had to call to deal with the fallout. my spirit lives on. 👻

gotta say that having a shirt that expresses my exact feelings at this moment is a blessing

I'm not really sure how they managed to split the hammock bowl but they look comfy. the laws of physics don't seem to apply to cats.

how is it the end of #yarnuary already? idk. time is weird.

I am planning a new linen sweater and I am arranging my color palette so I can make some plans. Rosie is here to help, because of course she is.

this yarn is from colourmart, I love their wind-it-yerself bargain bin. I think it's a fun challenge to start with a limited set of colors. left to my own devices I only buy jewel tones, but my clothes are mostly neutrals so buying a mix of both is perfect for me (and cheaper too!)

I am cleaning off the loom and getting it ready for a new project. Rosie is helping.

something I didn't know when I started weaving was that washing a piece of handwoven fabric is ✨magical✨

the yarn is asleep on the loom, but when it hits the water it wakes up and swells and wiggles and settles into place. it's the most fun you can have while doing laundry.

I should write a new #introductions post because the last one "I'm not going to post much" was a lie, clearly

I'm Rebecca, my pronouns are they/them, I live near Oakland, on the traditional homeland of the Lisjan Ohlone people.

I make yarn, and I make things from yarn. I write code at my day job but I think "computer touching" is the least interesting part about me.

I have three cats, Orson (large and elderly) Pearl (cute and cuddly) and Rosie (noisy, knows all the keyboard shortcuts).

I'm trying to find more people to follow on this account because idk what is going on with my closet server (the sysadmin is asleep and I don't want to bug him and also I have no idea what the problem is)

so maybe if I post pretty weaving pictures I can catch a or two

I should just move to an art server tbh but from what I've seen of .art I am not a fan of their mods

@ggggbbybby I'm not a weaver, but I know that Appalachian Spring (https://www.appalachianspring.com/) is looking for woven goods (scarves and lap blankets) from American weavers. The artisan that was their supplier is no longer producing woven goods.
