@villainousfriend your hair looks incredible right now

@goldgust @soph_sol
Technically yes ... Hmm. I may not be able to communicate this well, but I'll try.

Some of my socks are more comfortable to wear with shoes than others.

If I'm on my feet a lot, and the stitch pattern on the sole is a certain texture, then the soles of my feet may feel ... icky?? less nice?? It's a sensory thing and I'm sure it varies wildly from person to person. But generally speaking, smooth texture & soft-feeling yarn is nicer on soles.

If the fit is loose, then the socks might look baggy or wrinkled where they meet with the shoes.

If the fit is too tight, then you probably won't want to wear them anyway, regardless of shoes.

Anyway I do not mean to sound discouraging at all! I think it's really fun to experiment and try stuff and be open to whatever outcome. I'm really looking forward to seeing your progress and your results. 😊

@goldgust @soph_sol maybe try for something more like a slipper than a sock??

I love to make socks but find that they need to be more well-fitted than you might expect.

Machine-made socks are a lot more forgiving in terms of stretching to fit different foot sizes and being comfortable to wear with shoes.

Slippers and slipper-socks are comfy and nice to wear around the house, and you don't have to worry much about a good fit or having them play nicely with shoes

@alis ohh, hmm, in that case I have no idea 😂

Wait ... he brought the long hair AND the crop top back!?? (It counts!) What a time to be alive! :blobcatgiggle:

Also, sing it Terry!

And, Yeonjun .. What DID you do last night? And why do you think you can wear t-shirts like this in front of MOA? 😂 :blobcatgiggle: :blobcateyes:

I enjoy the choreography and performance in this #StudioChoom version of "Go in Blind" by &TEAM

Done! Applied to join #VictorianSocialists

also discovered that my local candidate (and sitting member) is actually #AdamBandt so I'm happy to go with his how-to-vote

#AustralianGreens #auspol

Maybe I should actually join the Vic Socialists. Probably a better option than waiting around for someone else to do stuff and then being sad that they haven't done it.

#auspol

oh bugger, I just discovered that #VictorianSocialists aren't fielding a candidate in the Melbourne division for this federal election.

The last few years I've just followed their voting card whenever possible.

Now I gotta figure out if my local #AustralianGreens candidate is aligned with the shitty TERF faction of the #VictorianGreens argh.

I guess it's good that I noticed this today instead of at the polling booth tomorrow

@alis specialist retailers. Eagle Leather is one of my faves https://www.eagleleather.com.au/clothing/head-gear/hoods

@consumablejoy ooh I love that origami scarf! I want to try that

Found it https://blorbo.social/@lookitmychicken/114341663984797926

@lowrah that's a really sweet idea. It's good to take time to appreciate these things again

@lowrah I'm pretty sure that posts boosted from gaypirates will no longer be available after gaypirates closes.

If you would like an archive of the posts, you might have to find another way to save the content??

I don't know of any easy way to do that, however. The archive downloader tools I know about will only download your *own* posts, I think. But I may be wrong about that.

@TheOtherDibbler @YiboSemiDaily has anyone seen Xiao Zhan recently?

@tessiselated that's such a pain in the arse. I cannot believe that the Vic greens are still tolerating terfs. It seems like such a no-brainer.

#3GoodThings

Cooked meatballs in the slow cooker

Got a new iron and it was $69 (nice)

Did some chores and I don't feel quite as *behind* as I've been feeling for a few weeks
