I am buying myself a new overlocker! My previous one was an Elna 664 Pro, it was great but I sometimes work with thicker fabrics like heavy ponte di Roma, and it struggled. Any recommendations?

Everyone who is surprised to see things like this hasn't been paying attention to any period in human history including now

Alt National Park Service Facebook post text: This is concerning, that a rep feels they must post this. A lot in our coalition has felt the same way and worried about it, but didn’t think we’d be here publicly.

A safe, happy, and joyous holiday to all who celebrate! What do you eat at this time of year as a festive meal? #holidays #Xmas #festive #feast

A grey plate, loaded with peas, stuffing, roast vegetables, bread sauce, sliced turkey, and cranberry sauce, covered in gravy, sits on a grey placemat. In the background, a glass of sparkling apple juice, a wreath of greenery and pine cones around a red candle, and dishes of roast vegetables and turkey sit on a grey tablecloth with a pattern of white snowflakes.

Random question: my colleague says there's actually a huge community of Sonic fans. Would you buy a Sonic-themed board game for the theme? #sonicthehedgehog

The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.

Sitting in Max's Steakhouse in Prague, being subjected to the "thoughts" of a recent hire at #redhat #Prague who is also explicitly and loudly celebrating the rise of fascism, talking about wanting to desecrate Marx's grave, and how much he wants to celebrate at Mussolini's tomb. Yikes.

As folks are criticizing reviewers who didn't call out the racism in Ace of Spades... and as I'm editing the next @saltandsass.bsky.social ep... I had the thought - @613mandi.bsky.social and I have been podcasting for nearly a decade together and advocating for inclusive gaming longer than that.

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page:

“With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community.

We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”
