Wow. I have 108 followers now. That’s pretty cool!

You know what’s even more awesome? That people are willing to help someone they don’t even know or somebody they’ve just talked to online. I love the internet.

I know this won’t reach EVERYONE who’s helping me out and getting knitted stuff (I’m working on that – I have Paypal e-mails and some Tumblr names.) but I hope it’ll reach a good-sized chunk of you.

I’m trying to reach everyone who wanted knitted stuff and talk about projects and I’m double-checking, but there’s the off chance I could miss someone!

Make sure I ask about fiber sensitivities or allergies! I’m usually pretty good about that, but everyone makes mistakes. I don’t want to send somebody something they can’t use or that’ll make them break out in a horrible rash! I don’t have a lot of actual WOOL on hand – I have a lot of cotton and acrylic and blends thereof – but I do have some. I know people who live in certain climates might prefer wearable things that are wool and other people like cotton or synthetics better.

I’ll be posting pictures as I finish things. For one thing, I want to make sure you know that I’m actually meeting my commitments. And it’s helpful for me being able to see “Hey! I made that! I finished a thing! I am making progress!”

And hey, if you just want to talk about whatever for whatever reason? Go for it! Doesn’t have to be about stuff I’m making or anything! I like talking to people and making friends!

We are CLOSE! We are very close to “I can repair my car without neglecting my normal bills and getting my electricity or internet cut off”.

Thank you, everyone.

I really can’t afford to chip in (you know what kind of month I’ve had) but I am so happy for you and fully prepared to cheerlead the crafting from the sidelines. 🙂 And sorry, I know I owe you a reply… could we switch to emails? I hate Tumblr messenger.

i don’t even know what to say to this

While implying that things are better when people don’t think critically about what they read is clearly the mark of a free and enlightened society.

Critical thinking is bad and might be fascist. I could have sworn I saw that one on Fox News.

what is happening today?

it is apparently time for comics writers to rally against their fans again

Nice use of scare quotes there, ‘Brubaker’.

(slow, sarcastic clapping) No, no. The GOVERNMENT telling writers what they are allowed to write, often under the threat of imprisonment, torture, or death, is how that ‘worked.’ The READERSHIP saying ‘we do not like what you’ve written, and we are not interested in paying for it or anything else you’ve written, and we are encouraging your current employer to replace you with someone who can do the job better, because we consume their product, you goddamn HACK’ is how CAPITALISM works. I know it’s confusing, but they’re a little different.

And is he really doing this? Are we really comparing the threat placed on legitimate journalists and authors under a violent dictatorship or regime to the fan lead efforts to get a 3rd rate, misogynistic HACK removed from a flagship title? A flagship comic book title whose circulation numbers that he has driven into the ground? That’s… What we’re doing here.

Gotta say. I’m a little ‘outraged’ by his comparison.

This is one of those cases of bizarre “logic” that I don’t even know how to refute it because the person is operating from such a faulty premise. You have to backtrack SO far just to even try to follow their train of thought.

I want to send vitriolic hate mail to every comics professional who has come down defending Remender, but I do not have the mental energy for it.

Fuck

So we found out what’s wrong with the car.

It’s the clutch.

$925

Yes. Nine Two Five. NINE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE.

I’m not really sure what to do.

I don’t really have anything left I can sell. Certainly not in a short period of time, though I don’t have a whole lot of stuff that’s valuable and Ebay is always dead in summer.

At this specific moment I really wish I was one of those people who had the social capital to ask for donations or something. (That’s not me hinting or anything, that’s just a wistful statement.)

There’s not really anyone I can ask for help.

I could write my father another letter, I guess? I mean it’s probably better than sobbing into a pillow. … Probably?

copperbadge/Sam does a thing called Radio Free Monday that is a weekly round-up of links, a lot of which are for people who need help. It probably won’t cover it, but you might get a couple of donations off it. I don’t know what you’d need to have in place, since I’ve never done a donation account thing for myself, but Sam should be able to tell you. Sam, I’m tagging this for you so you can chip in…

*SOB* Why aren’t there more stories where Peggy somehow POOF COMICS LOGIC makes it to the future with Steve!? I think I’ve seen one. ONE.

And she’d be there for him (along with Sam) when Winter Soldier Bucky shows up, too.

Come on, it’s not that hard to make up science stuff! Stan Lee did it all the time! All you have to do is like “Howard Stark did sciencey stuff, the end.”

And she could be friends with Natasha and Maria Hill and the other badass ladies of the MCU.

I mean, come on, we all know – and Steve knows – that she could take him, serum or no serum. (It’s one of the things he finds so attractive about Peggy.)

I demand fic. I demand it NOW.

If that fic wasn’t if this is home by Siria, then you need to read that ASAP. It’s my definitive Steve/Peggy.
