Mass Effect fans will undergo a magical girl transformation into Itamar Ben-Gvir when they get the chance to kill hundreds of thousands of extremely transparently Middle Eastern-coded aliens and then wonder why people accurately describe Mass Effect's politics as extremely right-wing

speaking of yarn ive been meaning to ask since ive heard of it elsewhere, is the general quality of yarn you can get going down? ive been looking into fibercraft but ive been told its getting harder and harder to find actual good thread without some sort of plastic in it, especially for a good price. so ive been wondering is this true or was it made out to be a much larger problem than it really is (in your experience)?
i've only been into crochet for a couple of years, so i'm not a Fiber Arts Veteran who can tell you the difference between shopping for supplies now vs 30 years ago! i don't really have anything to compare Current Yarns to.
in my experience, the only thing i can speak on is cost, and it seems like the cost for yarn has probably been going up. animal fibers are certainly more expensive, acrylic yarns are budget-friendly but are synthetic, if that's something you're worried abt.
so i don't think that stuff is Untrue, but i also don't think it's any reason at all to avoid getting into fiber arts, and you can absolutely find yarns made from cotton / wool / bamboo fiber and stuff like that for good prices! it would probably be harder in-person, like in the aisles of a hobby lobby. but i think lion brand and lovecrafts are good sites to browse for yarn/supplies.
it's really not a small-scale problem, someone like moi who's recently gotten into crochet and does it for funsies based on my whims/needs isn't going to really notice, i don't think.
as an aside, if we're talking about crochet specifically, you can really crochet with anything at all- i've been making a tote bag out of plastic grocery bags, lmao. reduce reuse recycle or whatever. people will also use strips of fabric instead of yarn, and that's good for stuff like rugs / bags / baskets, chunkier projects. (though ig you could probably make some clothing if you cut the strips of fabric thin enough.) so as far as accessibility to the craft, there is that!

Would there be any interest if I were to produce phone charms like this 🥺?
Keep in mind, there would be some resizing to do ! The strawberry showcase approximately how the end product would look like :] I'd ask for approx 1.5" and they'd be acrylic!

I like the Pixling dolls a lot, they're very cute and fantastical (and not high school based, ha ha ha), but I just wish they didn't come with such wasteful packaging. Haven't bought any because of this, but would love to find some while thrifting.

Going through a lot of strong emotions right now and as a result everything just seems a little bit more absurd. Can't stop laughing over a perfume ad I keep getting that literally just says "[brand name] - danish scents produced in denmark" and that's the whole ad like yeah??? Idk the fucking. It's killing me and it's not even that funny. Ocean water that we got from the ocean. Where fucking else would it be from

Hi! i ordered stuff from ur shop back in january and i was curious if there’s a shipping email? like saying that the order has been shipped? anyway, i can’t wait for my things to arrive i’m so hyped!!!!
every order that didn't have a pre-order charm from january has been shipped out for a long while now! if you didn't have a pre-order item and haven't gotten a notification about your shipment, definitely contact me through e-mail with more information and i can figure out if there was some problem (
[email protected])
however if you did get a pre-order item (the mcyt charm pre-orders), it specifies in the page's description that it will take 2-3 months to manufacture and ship! so the reason you haven't gotten an e-mail is probably because it's not shipped out at all yet. currently, the charms are in manufacturing and the rough estimate is that they'll be shipped out by april if no other complications spring up.
once your order is shipped, you'll recieve an e-mail with tracking information automatically! keep an eye out for it during april, that's likely when you'll see it.

maybe one day i'll get a laser printer to make my own wooden keychains but like its crazy how the furry community is all for supporting small creators and independent businesses but said business models rely on outsourcing labour from china to make their plushies and toxic enamel trinkets. we are not beating the imperialism allegations
