Death by a thousand paper cuts.


Wouldn't be Thanksgiving without a minor burn, right?


Why am I so sleepy? Wrong answers only.


80/10/10 SW Merino Cashmere Nylon is a PITA to dye. Falls apart, colors shift, splotchy takeup and not in a good way.

PSA : It is not cool to ask a seller for information that could be used to duplicate their product.


It only took 40 years and a pandemic for me to realize that knowledge gathering is a self soothing technique for me.
