I was just assaulted by some twelve year old wannabe roadman with a sour patch kid. He pelted it at me because I said I didn't want to eat it, thanks. I was like "well that was a waste" whilst his friend apologised on his behalf. 🀣
I think I made a few extremely bold decisions (you want _what_?) that most people would shy away from. They're the kind of things that are really difficult to envision altogether as part of an end product. They could have ended up looking and feeling completely wrong. But they didn't, and holy shit it paid off.

So I paid some people an extortionate-for-me amount of money to completely rebuild our bathroom in a design of my own conception (with a focus on accessibility).

I asked for things that the fitters have never come across before in decades of bathroom fitting, but they managed it all very well.

Everyone has been gobsmacked by the end result. I have to admit, I'm shocked myself. I didn't imagine it would come together to resemble something out of a billionaire's mansion. 🀣

When White People to Pay Homage in Black Spaces

At the weekend, a group of trans women protested topless at the Scottish Parliament about the recent Supreme Court ruling that the Equality Act defines women as "biological women". The police couldn't arrest them, because to arrest them for showing their breasts would be to define them as women (it's not illegal for men to be topless). And, of course, the right-wing press that reported on it censored their breasts, thereby making their point for them.

This is a great example of how you should write whatever you find most readable and maintainable, and let us worry about efficiency. Wtih this PR, the "slow" approach becomes a "fast" one.

Folks, a while ago I discovered a clever form of #knitting called illusion or shadow knitting.

It’s where a pattern is formed by stitches that only appear when viewed at a certain angle. It sounds complicated, but it’s just a combination of basic knit and purl stitches.

Anyway, I thought I’d do a quick test and I made this maple leaf and I must admit, I love how it turned out!

I think I might have a go at making a larger piece that can be viewed from the side, so I can hang it somewhere in the house.
