Still quite tired. I've mostly been sewing instead of dealing with any of the myriad little struggles against entropy and bureaucracy because I can't be arsed to put so many personal resources towards something that is just the same or worse in only a little bit. At least sewing produces a shirt instead of marginally holding off the slow oozing towards a slightly dirtier and more miserable but essentially the same drudgery.

Also, should you like to delight me on this day, I'd deeply appreciate a photo of your pet or perhaps a nice mushroom with a very shoddily edited on little hat!

Today I am a birthday girl, have put on a crisp white shirt despite just sitting at home for now, and am not-so-idly browsing some linen fabrics to perhaps make a couple of reasonable and practical shirts out of it. It is a day on which such things could get out of hand, as a treat, but for now I am just browsing!
They do have a double wide dark grey linen too, which would probably make a lovely walking skirt. Not that I need another one, but you don't see double wide linen that often... 👀

A great ancient sage rematerialises in front of you from thin air! They explain that their grandchild just had a new baby and they'd love to spend some time with the kids, but they keep slipping into the aether because reality shunts them there to maintain universal order. So, they'd love to give you some of their excess enlightenment - but only a little bit of one facet of it, to prevent issues! Your life going forward remains otherwise unchanged.
Which do you pick?

A poll about voices! So let's say you have insomnia and really need to use the sleep, so you put on a video, show or podcast to fall asleep to.
Is it a feminine or masculine voice that you seek out for it's brain wrinkle soothing qualities, apart from the actual content?

As an anecdote, I just read a magazine for women from 1906, mostly about fashion and house decor, that also had instructions on how to use your own pasteurisation machine. That you apparently had at home, to do your own pasteurisation! Amazing.

Well. To be fair there is also a lot about sewage that you could do at home 90 years ago. And we shouldn't underestimate the beckoning of random curiosity and easily purchased downloads!

Bought a vintage sewing booklet pdf, as a treat. It's always great when the very first pages make you say "What the fuck?" out loud because they've simply and clearly outlined a way to do a thing you've never known to do before, and you can feel your mind expanding in real time. Because you didn't even know you could do that, not without a dedicated industrial use machine! And these bitches from 90 years ago just did it at home! Incredible!

One of the many things I enjoy about black cats that at any given time they'll look like they're gently but unexpectedly experiencing unknowable mysteries of the universe and having their little minds blown - just because their faces and eyes are like that!

Today I have spent most of the day's active hours sewing a bunch of lingerie. I had already done half the work before, have sewn a bunch before, and was doing it in batches...
And it STILL took so very long to make just six pants and two bras. Lingerie making is fucking witchcraft and an almost entirely new skill set from other sewing, very fiddly and precise!
Fucking pay garment workers more, they deserve it!

A few years back I did pet portraits for my followers in the other place, both for some change because I was broke and for free when I felt like drawing something cute but had no ideas and liked to make people happy. Some of them turned out quite nice!
