You know the biggest loss of the decline of physical media and the rise of streaming? DVD special features.

#dvd bonus content is just so great! #says the person who has spent something like 15 collective hours over the last couple days watching such things #hobbit 1 extended edition appendices and movie with directors' commentary babey! #so much enrichment in my enclosure today lol

Saying this bc I just got something in my ask box, but y'all

Don't. Send. Random. Links. At. Me. With. No. Context.

I will immediately think it's spam or a malicious link.

You will get instantly reported as spam.

#like. I'm 90% certain the ask WAS spam #because it was just a 'google play' link to something #nothing else. no comments. no explanation #is this some new spam bot trend? #do i need to reload my gun against another wave of spam bots #sorry if a real person tried to suggest a fun game for me #but SERIOUSLY #act like a human person and include some indication that you're not a spam bot

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

#the brief moment of confusion i had thinking 'I've been saying it wrong this whole time???' #only to realize that no. it's not me. or at the very least 82% of us are wront together #it's always been mee-yet to me. #none of those other pronunciations make sense. they're putting letters where they don't belong

JUST REALIZED I DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH YARN TO COMPLETE THE PROJECT.

My yardage would have made a small-sized top and I'm definitely not making a small top.

Unfortunately, I cannot get more yarn because it's a discontinued yarn.

Fortunately, I can use a different yarn, bc i picked up a bunch of lace weight when it was getting discontinued and I've got solid colors.

(Or i could buy a solid fingering weight of the same make... but this is a stash busting project and honestly what else am i gonna use lace weight yarn for? All the lace I'm not making?)

(Also also, plying together a splid lace weight will be more spindle practice so... win win?)

Planning my next yarn bending project and I think i want to use this yarn and make a kind of lacy open work tank top for summer.

But now the hardest part is gonna be picking a pattern 😭

#yarn bending #knitting #I'm thinking... front of the top will be colorful (obvs) back will be solid. #and then on the bodice the panels between increases will also be solid #we'll see how much yarn i end up with 😬 #i knew there was gonna be something I overlooked #there always is

Picked a pattern!

Gonna be making Wolf Bayou by Bitchcraft

Hopefully I mathed correctly and got the measurements sized up correctly. I even made a gauge swatch, so it all should work out.

Off to a good start so far! (Jack is helping)

There are currently ~2300 works in AO3 tagged with "Created Using Generative AI"

I'll be upfront with my opinion, which mirrors my opinion in regards to my field: using AI will only hasten your own obsolescence. The point of fanfiction is not to crank out fics, but rather to enjoy the hobby and communities of writing and fandom.

We finally got the new front screen door installed and it took the cats a few days to get over the Big Scary Window to The Outside. (We have Extremely Indoor cats)

Sun spots and sneaky squirrel/bird watching has helped sell the new door to Jack and Moxie at least

#jean hasn't investigated it much #but she stays primarily upstairs anyways #cats #if only it was warm enough to open the windows and get a good fresh breeze

DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.
