And for as long as there has been moving images, there have been people warning us of its dangers

[ID: A photo of prepared wool fiber and wool yarn on a wooden tabletop. A multicolored spindle rests in an orange mug; orange and grey wool is in the process of being spun onto it, with a small amount wound onto the spindle's shaft as a fine single and the majority still wrapped loosely around the top as something like roving. Around the base of the mug lies a trail of more roving, wrapped into nests and threaded onto some yarn, all grey but with a gradient of colors mixed in. In order: lighter orange, pale peach, rose pink, purplish pink, light purple, and medium purple. On the table next to the garland is a small skein of sock yarn spun from the same gradient, somewhat overplied and tied with a length of bright mint green yarn. End ID]

One down, most of one to go! I executed my plot: carded up bonus thrift store lanolin wool, reclaimed the gradient fiber from my first support-spindle-spun skein and carded it into seven gradient steps, blended those two fibers together, and divided the whole progression into two equal sequences for socks or mitts or...something. I've heard of spinners working hard to avoid muddying up their fiber colors, meanwhile I'm over here splashing in the mud puddles! The above photo was taken in the overcast afternoon light from our kitchen windows, so it's even more grey, but as a reminder this is what the colorful half of this looked like in its previous form:

[ID: The same spindle in the same orange mug, this time on weathered wood in direct sunlight with a very chunky skein of safety-vest-orange yarn fading to pale orange and pink with white patches and finally a bright purple. End ID]

I'll be honest I did have some second thoughts about blending once I'd re-carded the yarn into a smoother gradient. But I know I don't use small amounts of yarn well, especially in bright colors, and the fiber did feel a bit frazzled by the time it had no strings remaining. It benefited a lot from combining with the too-much-lanolin of its grey friend. So on to join my trusty cone of dark grey wool in some more staid applications! I am really happy with the tweedy look of this first skein, not removing any neps that had spinnable fuzz still attached (and tbh probably leaving a few slubs that could've been teased out in drafting if I hadn't spun a section of this on the bus to and from IMTS in the pitch dark of pre-dawn and late night). Only concern now is that I did just pull out the cone and realize it's only about 22wpi and my first skein is closer to 30wpi. Maybe it'll fluff up in washing? But either way I think I'll be likely to sacrifice symmetry in favor of fewer frustrations with snapping yarn while chain plying and let my second single trend a little heavier than "as thin as possible." I think the lanolin has helped a bit with it sticking together longer but it's not magic.

I believe that Gilear was somehow cursed after his and Sandra Lynn's divorce, and his awful life afterward was a symptom of that.

I'm guessing that when Fig made the devil's bargain that tasted of curdled lemon (that was definitely lemon yogurt), she agreed to take Gilear's curse on herself.

Ever since doing so, Gilear's life seems to have magically turned around. Suspiciously so. Simultaneously, Fig is experiencing an awful case of bad luck...

Coincidence? I doubt it.

I don't think we're truly ready yet for the conversation about how the modern iteration of the monkees is actually the try guys.

[stirdrawsandreblaws]

like outside of thinking hes a good writer and has broadly decent opinions (though i certainly disagree with some of his views), I don't really give a shit abt neil.

that said...while i think the power imbalance shit between him and his alleged victims is shady, this mostly seems like personal drama related to poorly-communicated boundaries, rather than evidence of a pattern of abuse on anyone's part--assuming the things happened the way the alleged victims described, which very well might not be the case

especially with the context that they were in consensual bdsm relationships with him, and the podcast this story broke on is strongly anti-kink and anti-bdsm, arguing that it can never ever be consensual...? (which i hope we all know is absolute bs)

im not typically one to point and say "smear campaign!!!!" but this reaaaally feels like a smear campaign so far
