Wait, people don't know this? Yeah. It doesn't auto-save unless you save to cloud. I hate this timeline. Share to save someone many tears from lost work.

The most terrifying enshittification I've discovered has been learning that Microsoft Word documents no longer auto-save if you are not saving them to one of their own proprietary cloud services. I'm slapping control-S like it's 1999.

Neal Stephenson on why writing by hand is good for your brain and how to do it. Schools reducing lessons in handwriting cursive is maybe the biggest educational blunder of the past 20 years or so. By handwriting you combine motorcortex with abstractions & "engrave" knowledge. What a skill to have!

As a reader, my enjoyment of your novel is the same whether it was dictated, typed on an Underwood Noiseless, keyed into a word processor, or scratched out with a fountain pen: nealstephenson.substack.com/p/writing-by... 5/

#ShowMeYourKnits Oooh I love making Shawls. Lavender : Morning Dew Shawl by Melinda Measor Creams and dark green : Plongée by Em Lyn Knits Creams and light green : Skystorm by Stephen West

A large lavender shawl hanging in front of a window. The body is mostly stockinette with eyelet sections. There is a large lace fringe at the bottom, with small iridescent beads. A crystal window hanging can be seen through the fabric. A shawl draped over a rockring chair. There are stripes of various textures and a slow gradation of creams and sudden contrasting sections of dark green. Some of the section have small emerald green beads. A shawl draped over a chaise. The body is mostly garter stitch with stockinette ridges that have yarnover eyelets. The outside edge is a contrasting bright green and has a wavy effect.

Good morning knitters ☀️! We start each new year with the prompt that started it all: show me your SHAWLS! You always amaze me with this one & I add a million patterns to my list! Despite that, haven’t finished a shawl since 2023 (apparently 😬). Re-post of Frank by Joji Locatelli #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

Rear view of a woman in a garden holding a large hand knit shawl. It is made of three triangle-ish sections with stripes of gold against greys.

A banner with text that reads Wild and Full of Marvels Queer Fanworks Inspired by Folklore and Fairy Tales. Beside this is a book cover of a book with the same title as that text, with artwork showing two women, one a light skinned mermaid adjusting her hair and waving, the other a darker skinned fisherwoman exchanging a flirty look with the mermaid. In the upper right hand corner of the banner is a circular badge that says PROJECT WE LOVE KICKSTARTER, and the Duck Prints Press logo is in the lower left corner.

I did a tonne of research so you don't have to. I talk about masking, air filtration, and air quality rating systems, & I give concrete suggestions to help you keep yourself and your loved ones safe. If you don't have this information yet, it's time to get educated. Wildfires don't respect borders.

For folks struggling to figure out how to deal with wildfire smoke, I put together some information a few years ago: apihtawikosisan.com/2023/09/miti...

Bit of a darker yellow rather than Tour de France maillot jaune ;) Rumplestiltskin's Wrap by Moira Engel, in The Blue Brick's Honey tonal.

A large wrap style scarf covering the back of a rocking chair, with the hood flipped back down over to be visible. Cables and trellis cover both the scarf and the hood.

The #tourdefrance is an epic cycling race/cultural event/ soap opera that runs for three weeks in July from this Saturday. The race leader wears the maillot jaune/yellow jersey. Jersey = knitted fabric. So how about knitting something yellow as your own challenge? #yellowjersey #knitting
