I am a maker of things, sometimes its websites, sometimes its costumes, sometimes its installation artwork or 3D design, game design, decorations, craft. I just like making stuff I am a fan of #dancing, #dragrace, cheesy #romantasy novels, #sci-fi and #fantasy, #art, #films, bright colours, #cats even though they are bastards, #craft, #glitter & all manner of shiny things. People seem to have weird rules about who is allowed to follow them. Don't talk me if you're going to be a dick, I guess?

Last Notes npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I recently boarded out my attic space so that I would have room to set out my materials in a way that I can access easily and to store work that I lend out on a temporary basis. It's made a huge difference to being able to work quickly and efficiently. I've still got more I'd like to do in that space but it's very motivating to see that doing it has translated into more work and actually much more enjoyment from using the stuff I own. A practical space is so fundamental npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m Now that is a serious piece of kit. I hope you are delighted with it. It seems you are. npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I think also there is value in normalising behaviour, so even if someone is doing it for the wrong reasons it can still have a net benefit if that changes the groups behaviour to make the new thing normal, filming abusers, putting pronouns in bios, wearing a mask on public transport, speaking up if you think someone is making a joke that isn't ok. If only the very 'good' people do these things, then that will always be seen as extremist behaviour instead of what everyone should do npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m Thank you! I think I just have to bite the bullet and get it wrong. I've been hoarding this project for years because I wanted it to be perfect, the fabric was expensive and I spent a long time on the design. I've realised if I don't let go of all that I will never finish it and it's better to have something finished and learn the new skills than it is to keep it in my cupboard forever and never get to enjoy it. npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m It's a tailored wool dress jacket so through several layers I think. I do have a machine with a button hole foot, which I have never used. When my dress making teacher was talking to me about it she said she always takes hers to a tailor rather than do it herself to save the hassle but that was a long time ago and also I'd like to know how to do it myself or at least have a go once npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m are you sewing by machine or by hand? I don't suppose you have any recommendations for beginners learning to do buttonholes? I'm a bit scared to try but I have a project that is going to need them at some point npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I'm not sure I understand what a group actor is. I tried googling that. Can you explain it a bit more? npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I don't think he is saying that. I think he's saying he hopes by 2025 they will have some code that was generated to a mid-engineer level by LLM What's he's not saying but is also true is, all his senior staff will have to spend time double checking that, just like they did the code the rest of the team were writing. Even if it were possible to replace all your mid-engineers or your junior engineers, you can't actually run a whole department or project with just this resource npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m You probably all know this but The clothing industry is the second-largest polluter in the world, after oil and gas. The fashion industry is responsible for 8-10% of global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. Also the second-biggest consumer of water, and garment production is responsible for 20% of all global industrial water pollution. 85% of all textiles go to landfill, including the majority of what you take to the charity shop npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m ah, the old "I'm only racist when I'm drunk " defence. It's weird isn't it how some people only realise something is wrong when they get caught. You have to assume they are surrounded by equally racist people who just shrugged that off as an ok thing to say and therefore no one has ever pointed out to her it's a shitty way to behave. npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I had assumed at first the killer was an individual treated badly by their company but the more I hear about them, the more I am wondering if this was a professional hit man. Maybe Thompson was planning to testify against them so someone else had him removed. It's pretty dark either way. The way the establishment respond to this situation reminds me an article by @npub1y7h…3tqs about the rich thinking they are immune to consequences https://armoxon.substack.com/p/the-die-ers We can't blame the system npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m putting consumers first is a choice thing to prioritise, also he goes on to say giving people unnecessary care isn't sustainable. Obviously if you put consumers first then paying the CEO $25 million is sustainable and you just need to be more pragmatic about other unnecessary costs. npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I would say I'm conscious of taking flights in recent years and only flying abroad if there is somewhere that I really want to travel to and this definitely reinforces my belief that I don't need an expensive holiday in Spain and I didn't need to be adding my waste and consumption to other people's problems. In Sri Lanka especially the north they told us they really needed tourism to return after the tsunami so it's hard to know if you're wanted or not npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m This is a really fascinating list, I've never really had the money for much travel so I've never really thought these issues but I'd hoped to do more when I'm older, this would definitely make me reconsider some of the places like Tokyo that I've always wanted to go to npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I read a stat saying even though Sweden has excellent provision for both parents still only 15-20% of men take their full allowance mostly because of financial and cultural reasons like in the UK. In hetero couples if the men were already earning more than the women it doesn't make sense for families to take the financial hit, so because we don't have gender parity in pay and promotion then having children just widens the gap further once parental leave happens npub1rgpt6uqxxlkj7hh5spljrcem6u8v0s37tlnclfae5572gh5w560s5wv476 tiny_m I think one of the saddest things about the internet/instagram side hustle culture/late stage capitalism is that its convinced everyone they're supposed to be making money from their art and if they're not they are somehow a failure. Creative expression is something you're just allowed to have, to do, to make yourself feel something, you can share it with other people if you want but it's only purpose is to exist if you want to make money from your skills then fine but don't let it crush you
