Not that I, myself, have ever expressed a stance on this, but Potbelly has chosen their side, I guess. If I go get a free cookie, am I choosing a side? I don't agree with their assertions, but I like free cookies

... It's a dilemma.

I enjoy this time of year because the April Fool's stories are still lingering in my news feeds, but it's been just long enough to do a double take.

sorry that I haven't had time for much normal social interaction, work has been busy... but here I am with more insanely amazing yarnstuffs from my fiancée.

A collab with Fat Squirrel Fibers:

From Another Crafy Girl:
"Preorders for the Frogs & Quilts Collaboration are live! Please visit both of our sites to check it out. Amy Beth’s (@thefatsqrrl) bags are absolutely amazing and I worked really hard to design the colorways that match so well!
🐸 If you purchased yarn please let me know what you have planned for them! Maybe we can do a KAL this spring. I’m still trying to decide what I want to make with them myself!
Preorders should ship by the beginning of next month! Your support really helps us small businesses out! 💗"

Yarn Post!
someone is doing an MKAL with a Muppet Shawl... and my fiancée has a whole line of yarn colors inspired by muppets, so there was much excitement the last few days setting up some kits.

she's offering pre-made and custom kits at https://anothercraftygirl....

Yarn Post!
The fiancée made cute little woven hexagons out of her colorways from recent editions of the Roll the Dyes Yarn Club.

Guess the games?

Go look at all the other pretty colors, both inspired by board games and other things?

From Another Crafty Girl:
"I've been working up my Roll the Dyes Yarn Club colorways into lovely little hexagons using my turtle loom from @bluebonnetcrafters (on Etsy). I'm so happy with how the club colorways have turned out so far. A few spaces have opened up in the lub so l'd love to see a few fresh faces join!
I'm also considering adding a mini skein only option. Where you'd get a mini skein of both colorways. Does anyone want that? You'd still also get the stitch marker each month but I'm not sure about the bonus prizes every three months since I'm not made of money."

This is pretty iconic for the year. I went on a foreign language club trip to Mexico that April... we learned this dance while we were there and showed a few classes when we got back. It was only a few months later that it became a craze.

Some improvement in general health and a negative test prompted a game night proposition... so we busted out Point City.

It's settled! Creator tells us how to pronounce 'GIF' | CNN Business

We can’t settle iPhone vs. Android or “Star Wars” vs. “Star Trek” for you. But another geek debate was put to rest Tuesday. GIF is pronounced “Jif.”

Now I have a conundrum, though.

Can I, technically, tell people off for saying "Happy New Years" after Jan 1, 2024?
OR
Since I didn't respond to anyone who did it last year, in order to keep my resolution, are they actually wishing me multiple years' worth of happy?

Existential Fashion Disaster @EFDisaster

I don't think I can top last year's resolution, and I did pretty well sticking to it, but it's about to get hard again:

I don't think I can top last year's resolution, and I did pretty well sticking to it, but it's about to get hard again:

screenshot from Used to be Birdnoise of a post that reads:
My New Year's Resolution is to try not to be triggered by " ... New Years" without the apostrophe and/or ask "how many years?" in response whenever I see it.

John Bolton's Mustache™️☑️ @John_Boltons_Mustache

Soo...New Year's Eve is just 5 days away. Do you make a resolution and, if so, what will it be?

I don't make resolutions, I make promises. I always keep my promises. This year, I promise to be kinder to myself.

Being kinder to others is still debatable. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wait. Has any social media site done ranked choice polls yet?

This could be one of those, "yeah, but Spoutible has..." things. No?

Melody Pond (they/them) @MelodyPond

If only I could choose “all of the above.” We need a ranked choice polling option🤔

For “other,” my fave is Brachs peppermint Christmas nougats. Seems like it gets harder to find every year 😭

Friends, my fiancée has another game to add to the Roll the Dyes Yarn Club... shipping now.

If you're as impressed as I am at her color-skill, and want some game-inspired yarn, you can sign up now for January's shipment.

This month’s inspiration comes from the game Calico, published by AEG & Flatout Games in 2020. In this very puzzley tile laying game, players are collecting patches of various patterns and colors to assemble a quilt. Your quilt will have 3 design goals, and you will score points based on how well you fulfill them. There are also cats you can attract to your quilt by meeting their pattern requirements. And if you have 3 patches of the same color you get to sew a button onto you quilt for additional points. Don’t let the bright colors and adorable cats fool you though, this is a very thinky game!
The variegated colorway is inspired by the brightly colored patches you will use to create your quilt; it’s called: Patchwork. The Tonal-ish colorway is called Paper Piecing; inspired by the cloth tile bag that is included with the game.
This month’s stitch marker from Twin Mountain Handcrafts is inspired by the water droplet button in the game; it’s made with a blue/purple iridescent. It’s a gr...

Have they not had this pane before?

Or has it truly taken Spotify this long to realize that I listen to full albums and that if I could remove the shuffle button or make it shuffle albums, I would?
(like my iPod in 2005)
#SpotifyWrapped

Pane from my Spotify Wrapped for 2023 in which I have been identified as the "listening type" of Hypnotist. The description is: "Your concentration is absolute, friend. You like to play albums all the way through, from the opening track to the final note."

weird flex(?), but, I can't participate in the "not a photographer" thing because I've been paid for photographs (both in newspapers and bought off walls of coffeeshops) and I've always been told being paid for your work makes you a professional.

My first spout is still my pinned spout on my profile...
I think it's good. I like it.

It is not my favorite spout, though... someday, when we're recounting our favorite spouts, I recreate it, as it's currently a reply in a thread, and it'll be better as a quote spout.

I don't do Bird Noise anymore, but when I was active there, I did this. Same of Insta, until I started only using the "Following" feed (no ads). Same on FB, though, somehow, they're easier to ignore there. Sometimes I'd report ads for things like betting sites as scammers... because they are.

News Junkie @TheTimeIsNow

Just for fun I visit Twitter (yes, I call it twitter) and click "not interested" on every single ad I come across. Let anyone paying for advertising know that you aren't interested in what they have to say.
