LB I am once again promoting freesewing.org for size inclusive (like actually, they're based on measurements so they CAN generate a pattern in your size) free sewing patterns!
Nothing fancy but it's got the basics and you can combine pieces all you want and come up with a bunch of cute garments

UPDATE! Het treinverkeer van NS in heel Nederland wordt op 10 juni stilgelegd.

UPDATE: All NS trains on Tuesday 10 June are cancelled.

Oh, NS, why must you torture me so? Not only is the intercity service run using SLT, but then a detour past The Hague means I get to look at all those comfy ICM, ICNG, VIRM and DDZ that could've run instead!

I mean, given that all intercity trains between Utrecht and Rotterdam use sprinter trains it might be something about this route that is not quite compatible, but still.

"There are protests, your majesty."

"Good," said the Emperor. "What are they protesting?"

"Grain prices. But why are protests good?"

"What would you call a society with no protests?"

"Happy, your majesty."

"I would call it oppressed. Prepare a report on their grievances."

subtooting like, half the discussions I end up having about politics 

"They should stop doing the thing that is causing harm"

"But what would the alternative be??"

How about... not doing the thing that is causing harm...?

I am a cat not in the sense of haha nya nya catgirl uwu but more in the sense of I am going to be annoying the fuck out of you for hours and for some reason, you'll still like me anyway

Reminder that if you like a website you should probably click on the "contact" link and tell the author you like their website

🐰 Oh I bet they get lots of email every day saying their website is cool, I'd just annoy them
🦝 Nope. I have a donations button and I'm not exaggerating when I say it gets hit a hundred times more often than my email address. People will literally transfer ten dollars from their bank account before saying "Hey cool website btw."

🐀 Wouldn't it be weird though
🦝 My learned friend, why do you think there's a "Contact" page on the website in the first place, it's so that you can say "Hey cool website btw."

🐴 This site hasn't been updated in ages, I bet they're not even interested anymore
🦝 Or maybe they stopped updating it because they had ten thousand people reading it every day but it felt empty and unfulfilling like shouting into a hole because only two of them ever emailed to say "Hey cool website btw."

🐹 But what do I even say
🦝 You say "Hey cool website btw."

You're probably wondering if there was a proud Dalek at Portsmouth Pride and I'm here to let you know that yes, there was a proud Dalek at Portsmouth Pride.

Today's project: fixing the design issue in the foldable machine frame I bought (lidl.nl/p/parkside-universeel-), which requires you to install bolts upside down to fasten a machine to it, which is very annoying because it falls out during installation all the time! And it makes it needlessly difficult to swap machines, which is the whole reason I got it.

So now I'm designing a sort of 'bolt carrier' that can slide across the slot along with the bolt and hold the bolt in place, in the hopes that this will fix my problem. If it does work, I can add a tool-less wingnut-type thing to it, to make it easier to swap out machines.

I have finally finished my raised beds (aka plant tables)! This isn't the first woodworking project I've finished, but it's the first that I *started*, back in 2020. Plenty of setbacks in health and circumstance delayed the project, but I got there eventually 🙂

Now all that remains is to put some permeable plastic in there to help keep the dirt and roots inside while still allowing drainages between the planks, and filling it with soil and plants!

who decided to call it a "coalition" instead of the much more descriptive "politicule"? #shittyPortmanteaux

ride accident 

Another day, another severe accident with a Safeco jumper... looopings.nl/weblog/29160/7-ja

These fucking things really just need to be banned and scrapped

UPDATE 2: We're carefully back online again, with a few exceptions:

it's perfectly reasonable for capitalists to be arguing for AI-driven software. "reducing labor costs" is the thing capitalists do. but being an AI stan as a worker is some serious class traitor shit. this isn't gonna advance your career, buddy.
