A huge piece of advice I was given that I'll never forget is "pay attention to how you feel after you've spent time with someone, do you feel refreshed or drained? that'll tell you if that person is good to keep around."

Postal services around the world that use birds as logos. One of my favorite poster graphics I've made! 🐦✉️

happy international women's day! 🌷 remember that furry fandom wouldn't be even close to what it is now, without all the amazing women in it! we can't allow sexism and misogynism in this space.

Exactly! It was a great storytelling choice that made him that much more layered and interesting and let him have growth! But noooOOOO he’s gotta stay the exact same way he was 30 years ago. Very silly.

Right! Art by committee ain’t worth it, and pandering to people who are going to complain anyway is pointless. I’ll always take a weird bold artist-driven swing (even if it doesn’t fully land) over playing to the lowest common denominator. At least it’s got something to say.

YES!!! Like I can see the legit critiques people have of it even if I don’t agree, but it feels like A LOT of it was “the movie didn’t happen the way I expected it to, how dare they” and general unwillingness to let characters be human (you know, interesting) and evolve.

SAME, it’s such a beautiful, lovingly made movie and a good open end to leave it at, bittersweet but ultimately hopeful and I jive with that so much.

Oh god ME TOO, afterwards I was like "eh, it was subpar, can't win 'em all" but I STEWED about it for weeks which I have never done before/since. I still don't revisit it and I LOVE TFA/TLJ.

The Chewie death fakeout was when I realized that it was off the rails and I checked out.

The Simpsons - Planet Of  The Apes Musical - Dr. Zaius

It is impossible to declare one Simpsons bit as "the best", it's folly, a fool's errand.

That being said, the best Simpsons bit is "Planet of the Apes: the Musical"

I will watch any video about cookery that is on such a scale that the cook is using a full size Cooking Shovel to stir things about.

Second time in my life I’ve gotten the powdered sugar and flour containers mixed up while making roux, at least I didn’t add the chicken broth too…

Knit Buffalo’s Felted Buffalo

Last fall I sold at my first local event since moving to upstate New York, and there I connected with a fellow fiber enthusiast who travels the region selling hand dyed yarn and fiber out of a yarn van! She commissioned a little friend to travel along with the van
