It really is a goddamned treasure: amazing functionality, a very helpful community. Being able to look up my stash on the go has saved me so much money and impulse yarn-buying. Good on them.

Uh, only a quarter of the country voted for him, dummy.
There was a kickass hardware store in my city called Orchard Supply Hardware, and one day, it just closed down and got replaced about six months later with a goddamn Hobby Lobby. I was livid. OSH was the best hardware store I’ve ever been in, man. Every tool and accessory you could think of, and I even bought some of m…
A hand knit alpaca fiber balaclava to COVER THEIR GOD DAMN MOUTH.
1) this isn’t much of a free speech thing as much as a website marking bright lines for comments made through their property.
Wait until Hobby Lobby hears about this!
This isn’t about not having politics. It is, rightfully, about ejecting a specific form of politics.
I’ve always loved Ravelry, even though my knitting has tapered off recently, and this is welcome news.
Where my stitches at!? I’ve been on Ravelry since 2007, and I’m not at all surprised. Jess and Casey are damn good site owners and good people, period, particularly for how they’ve kept it real — or, uh, kept it natural fiber? — and never sold out to Big Yarn.
It’s important to know the difference, people. Don’t be like Mega Man.
The great irony is of course that the one of the major reasons Cumberbatch got the Dr. Strange part was because he was the nerd darling of the day and Marvel cast him as wish fulfillment.
Cumberbatch would make a perfectly decent Dr. Strange if they would just let him use his normal accent. Strange’s nationality was never exactly integral to the character and they’ve made far more radical alterations to other Marvel characters.
You can’t just have Keanu Reeves play himself. He’s way too overpowered for the MCU.
He should have been Doctor Strange but they already blew that (just think it would have been a mini Constantine reunion what with Tilda being there).
He’s already in the Marvel Universe.
After hating (raw) tomatoes for as long as I can remember, discovering that I like tomatillos has been a pleasant surprise. I convinced my dad to grow some this year in his garden, so I’ll have to pass this along.

I have a son (he’s 4) and we had this whole *thing* at his school earlier this year, where he got in *trouble* for saying something about his penis. He was put in time out, and when I got there to pick him up, all of the kids were aghast. One of the girls mouthed, “he said PENIS”. So I held his hand while his teacher…
THANK YOU. I’m almost 40 and I still have a hard time just saying the words “my vagina” to my doctor. I used to say “up front” and “back there” and I’m trying to break that.
Parents who teach their kids slang terms for genitalia have always gotten on my nerves, but the last straw occurred some years ago when a theater in Florida presented a production of The Hoohah Monologues after the word vagina on their marquee made somebody squeamish. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m so much more…
