Hey there folks!
I've just moved my account to a new username. I hope it's not too obnoxious, but I figured better sooner than later.
Since posts don't come over, I'll repost my #introduction once more, this time with CamelCase for accessibility
I live in #PDX with my partner, our #dogs, and our (my) #cats. For money, I do #TechnicalWriting, and spend the rest of my time doing #FiberArts, #VideoGames, #reading, and #Zen #Buddhist stuff, such as sitting down & looking at a wall.
Loves: em-dashes, hair color
Loathes: terfs, cops
Other #interests include
#coffee
#FountainPens
#piercing
#tattoo
#gardening
#napping
Plot twist: I thought I might end up with macrame stuff, but we went home and I couldn't stop thinking about the sashiko (Japanese embroidery) and anyway this shop is real close to my home and now I'm doing sashiko.

food recall (Jif peanut butter, salmonella contamination)
https://www.jmsmucker.com/news-stories?news=23101
"The J. M. Smucker Co. is recalling select Jif® peanut butter products sold in the U.S. due to potential Salmonella contamination. Salmonella is an organism which can cause serious and sometimes fatal infections in young children, frail or elderly people, and others with weakened immune systems. Healthy persons infected with Salmonella often experience fever, diarrhea (which may be bloody), nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain."
They include a long list of affected product UPC codes, as well as a lot code range of 1274425 – 2140425. Lot codes are printed alongside the best-used-by date.

I present to you: Aurora Blue! It's knit sideways on the bias, making a shallow and asymmetrical triangle, perfect for wearing as an elegant scarf. The combination of garter stitch in a variegated hand-dyed yarn and simple lace makes it a perfect choice to get the best of both worlds 😃

Religion, Hell, Buddhism
This is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. One of my favorite bodhisattvas. He vowed to never become a fully fledged buddha until all the hells have been emptied of their residents. His vow to save all sentient beings in hell is one of supreme compassion.

In Estonian "ta" (or "tema") means both "she" and "he", Google Translate decides by context
How is it even REMOTELY POSSIBLE that I don't have? can't find? enough stitch markers???

i like that the methodology for this is that they told the cat which of its cat friends they were gonna show it, and the cat was like "ok", and then they showed it a different cat and the cat was like "hey wait a minute"

important research about cats being friends with each other: "Cats learn the names of their friend cats in their daily lives"
