Today I found out that both of my applications to test a pattern were accepted... after many times applying for things and not being accepted...

So I guess all my other WIP will be on hold and until June 20th I will be knitting both a pair of colourwork unicorn mittens and a cardigan... See images.

Doable, right? Maybe I should book a holiday from my two little kids and my work... haha.

Wish me luck!

Gotta stop posting rhetoric as a Black guy. People think I'm really asking questions.

@Adam_Cadmon1 I thought of replying to this with a rhetorical question, but then thought that might be silly. ...Or is it?

Is there a word for "creator owned" co-ops where the ownership isn't held by employees, but isn't held by the consumer either? IE. what is social.coop? Does platform co-op cover it, or is there something more specific in wide use already?

I guess creator co-op is fine, I just don't know if it's actually in wide spread use.

@GuerillaOntologist @sam I didn’t realize there were different types of co-ops, so cool to learn a bit about that here.

Back at the with organization colors, while I’m waiting for my bigger rigid heddle loom to be sorted out. I got new yarn that more closely matches the actual colors of the org now (although they aren’t coming through here) which is nice. But mostly it’s just nice to be weaving again. Fingers were getting antsy - this is my “productive fidget”.

Next Month Daniel and I are going to a friend's birthday party with a bunch of bi and poly friends who embrace the "queer" label. The theme is "flagging your colors" and the hanky code was specifically mentioned in the invitation among other pride flags, etc.

Uhh, my friends are about to learn a whole lot more about me than they did before!

Random update that none of y’all asked for: Goat Union Overnight Period Panties are awesome enough that I now own three pairs. A+ very much recommend as comfortable during my more clothing sensitive times, pretty decently affordable, and zero leaks. Only annoyance is supposedly they shouldn’t be dryer-dried (though the Wirecutter reviewer claimed they did ok, I think). So a bit slow to wash/reuse within one cycle.

Unless your cycle goes on forever like in perimenopause… 🙄

What is a fediverse-neutral word for "subtweet"? People here use "subtoot", but that's based on Mastodon's "toot", which is no longer officially used.

"Subpost" doesn't sound quite right. But I guess that's it?

Do you eat any foods that you actively dislike because you believe them to be good for you in some way? If so, what?

jonobie,
@jonobie@social.coop avatar

@purplepadma Not really. For a while I tried taking fish oil in a variety of forms because it was “good for me”, and eventually gave up because it was just yucky. (I guess that doesn’t quite count as “food”.)

I do eat more fish now (which I like) than I did then.

I’ve had mixed feelings about manager readme. On one hand I do a verbal version in my first meeting with new collaborators to let them know I communicate directly but mean well.

OTOH, the power dynamic as a manager can read as a list of flaws your team has to put up with.

Went thrifting again, still obsessed with finding leather bags. Today's bag haul: one purple Fossil bag with a damaged front flap for $7 (I am pretty sure I can repair this) and two She + Lo crossover bags for $13 and $6 respectively. That grey one is a weird little guy, the studs are flat like Lego studs.

More boggling at the .

One of the sample tests I just took was like "which of these is a defense mechanism" [a psychoanalytic thing]. I answered and got it wrong.

So I read my writeup about it to see why I missed it. It wasn't there. ...Huh, did I just forget to add it?

Turns out stuff online sometimes shows as few as 5 defense mechanisms or as many as 32. Which one is the canonical list? Who knows.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS.

jonobie,
@jonobie@social.coop avatar

@lextenebris I'm not a psychoanalyst, so definitely not my chosen area. I'm mostly a common factors person and have read enough to believe all theories are equivalent (and even if not, they have tiny effect sizes when testing client outcomes). And to know how rarely theories are actually tested head-to-head.

I'm horrified by how little that knowledge has percolated onto the required licensing test. That IS upsetting. It feels like a "guess what I'm thinking" test to be able to get licensed.

I've had very few teachers in my life that I felt moved to write thank you notes to.

... I'm currently writing basically everyone in the Saybrook counseling department and a fair number of the adjuncts too.

Just to say, yanno, thanks for the minor act of helping me change my life.

Thoughts as I'm attempting to memorize the two types of interval schedules and the two types of ratio schedules for reinforcements.

  1. I wonder if the NCE plans to do ANY of the work that the social work test did, in showing that it's terribly racially biased. (https://www.psychotherapynotes.com/social-work-exam-data-shows-major-racial-disparities/)

  2. I'm pretty damn sure that other than the notion of "reinforcing a behavior consistently helps form it and sporadically helps lock it in," I will NEVER use any of these words in my actual work.

jonobie,
@jonobie@social.coop avatar

Also, does your need to know the words homoscedasticity and heteroscedasticity? Probably not unless they're planning on being a spelling champion. I've read a bazillion research papers these past few years and have never seen them.

For those who aren't familiar, in the US, the Social Work Test and the basically cover the same material (lots of YouTube study guides cover both in one). So I suspect they have similar flaws too.

I’ve been using reusable period options since I was 24. I’ve used sea sponges, the Keeper cup, Glad Rags, New Moon Pads, and a stay-at-home mom’s variety of cloth pads. I was so freaking excited to see period underwear make it into a Wirecutter review - feels big time! And, I gotta say, of things I’ve tried, the Goat Union Overnight underwear Wirecutter recommended is by far the most secure thing I’ve worn. I wore it through “red Niagara” today and nary a leak.

jonobie,
@jonobie@social.coop avatar

I suspect that either sea sponges or The Keeper - both of which were hard to clean and are internal - were responsible for PID I had in my late 20s that hospitalized me. But I’ve had good luck with cloth pads. And have consistently used them, only switching out to disposables on heavy days. And I think 1-2 of these period underwear may cover those times now. Also, they’re all just more comfortable and less prone to basically giving me diaper rash 🙄 than plastic disposables.
