I crocheted my dad as a wizard. ‘Twas not my best work (I had to try to cover the many stitch gaps with “patches”), but he liked it, so I’ll take it as a win. As with everything, got the pattern from Etsy. This time from CraftyTibbles. 🧙🏿

My dad crocheted as a wizard with a blue robe, white pants, black shoes, a black cloak, a purple spellbook, a blue wizard hat and a gray sword with a black border and a gold accent around the hilt

Evergreen

Tweet by @BravoCoolee:

“Twitter is the only place where well articulated sentences still get misinterpreted.

You can say ‘I like pancakes’ and somebody will say ‘So you hate waffles?’

No bitch. Dats a whole new sentence. Wtf is you talkin about.”

A funky lil’ avocado that I poorly crocheted when I was starting out. The pit is off center and the avocado is making a little derp face with loose stitches and a scrunched together face

Right? It was amazing. The personalized letters explaining each selection were always on point, too. The books came with the letter, and the site let you download them all.

Screenshot of one of the recommendations I got from Tailored Book Recommendations (RIP).

“The Caesar’s Palace Coup: How a Billionaire Brawl Over the Famous Casino Exposed the Power and Greed of Wall Streer” by Sujeet Indap and Max Frumes

The letter’s explanation, “Next is an investigative nonfiction book. Indap and Frumes chronicle the bankruptcy of Caesar’s Entertainment following a 2008 buyout. After spending $27 billion on the buyout, the new private equity owners forced creditors to accept major losses. Written like a high-stakes thriller, I chose this book for you since you enjoy corporate expose books.”

I am in a reading slump, and I would like suggestions on which one of these books I should read next. I need to be guided like a child because I am a child. I’m including brief descriptions of each book in the alt text. Might do a fiction version too since I like one fiction and one nonfiction.

Stack of nonfiction books. From top to bottom:
“The Caesars Palace Group” a book covering a brutal battle between hedge funds vying for a casino empire; “Cultish,” an exploration of cults and how they’re formed; “Enshittification,” a book covering how the Internet has been enshittified and why it sucks now; “Life After Cars,” a book on the value of public transportation and the many ills of living in a country ruled by cars; “One Day, Everyone Will Have Been Against This,” part memoir by journalist Omar El Akkad and part scathing rebuke of the violent West; “The AI Con,” an expose on the AI industry and how it’s absolute booty cheeks; “Humans,” a connection between the human condition and mythical monsters; “The Haves and Have-Yachts,” an exploration of the oligarch and their lives of decadence and excess; “Ultra-Processed People,” a book which explores processed food or ‘food that isn’t food;’ “Careless People,” a memoir by a former Facebook exec exposing how incompetent Meta’s execs are; “Character Limit,” a deep dive into Elon Musk’s acquisition of Twitter (it’s Twitter, not X, fuck you) and how he managed to run it into the ground with his pettiness, arrogance, and incompetence; “No More Tears,” an expose on Johnson & Johnson; “Tyranny, Inc.,” how private, corporate interests destroyed America; “Black AF History,” Black history, but not the convenient whitewashed version; “Proud Boys,” a deep dive into the incel white supremacist Proud Boy extremist group

Wordpress out here lighting me up for editing an old post.

Dog in a box.

My brother holding a box that contains my yorkiepoo pup Bubby with gray fur, floppy ears, and a lil’ button nose. His leash is hanging off the box. He is staring at the camera, unamused.

Never not relevant.

Cartoon by Tom Toro depicting a man in a tattered suit and three kids, all covered in dirty and wearing torn clothes, sitting behind a fire with a destroyed city in the background. The man in the suit is saying, "Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."

It's not just Elementor either, it's the Wordpress blog editor, too. If I can't write a blog post without needing to AI generate a title, excerpt, and/or meta description, then I probably have some other writing issues to work out.

Screenshot of the Wordpress blog post settings, with the option to "Optimize Title: Based on your post content and SEO best practices" and a button below to "Generate title options."

Below that is an option to "Get Featured Image" with a button below to "Generate image."

Below that is an option to "Get Feedback" with a button below to "Generate feedback."

Screenshot of an option to auto-generate the post excerpt with AI.

"Sets the desired length in words for the auto-generated excerpt. The final count my vary due to how AI works," with the button, "Discard," "Accept," and "Generate."

Thanks Elementor for Wordpress, but no I do not want an AI assistant, I just want to align the text.

Bryanna/Brioche, Angry Noodle@theangrynoodle· Jun 20

I like iStock because all of their stock photos (according to them, at least) are not AI-generated. But they confuse me, because why tf do you have an AI generator if a restriction on AI images is a selling point?

Screenshot of a black button with white sparkles on the left side that says, "AI Generator" and a dropdown menu in white.

NO, Adobe Acrobat, I do not need an AI assistant for my crochet pattern. Kindly make your exit.

Screenshot of WordPress achievement with a yellow magnifying glass icon. At the bottom, it says, "Edit a single post over and over again. It's still not right, is it?"

Post something that still traumatizes you.

I like when they turn their own cruelty on each other.

That one meme of a bald guy smiling at a camera with the news headline, “Heartwarming: The Worst People You Know Are All Fighting.”

She's beautiful. 🥹

I will say that I've seen a lot of debate on whether or not Zootopia is copaganda. I still believe it is, especially after seeing that it was originally supposed to be written from Nick's perspective and focused on being oppressed as a predator. I could understand arguments to the contrary, though.

Comment from a disposable email on my post about media with copaganda. "Imagine whining that works that show cops as slowed (like Zootopia and Spiderverse) is still Copaganda." (sic) because this person can barely write coherently.

Imagine my surprise when I get up this morning to a comment on a post on my website (a SEVEN YEAR-OLD- POST I WROTE IN COLLEGE, MIND YOU!) about representation in publishing ("Debunkung Complaints About Representation in Publishing"). Also noting that they used a disposable email. Coward.

Post alerting to a comment on a blog post on my website, "Debunking Common Compants About Representation in Publishing" by an anonymous disposable email. "If you want representation in a book, look in a mirror and love yourself instead of demanding Authors to bow to your every needs."

Found the cutest popcorn pattern on Etsy (as always). Y’all want some popcorn? 🍿 🎥 What we watchin’??? 🧶

Would you accept sweaters? 🥺

My yorkiepoo Bubby wearing a lil’ black sweater all curled up on my bed. Black comforter, fluffy white blanket, and gray blanket around him.

My little man is so photogenic.

Hey, so maybe I should have double checked and made sure I didn’t have an entire bin full of brown yarn before I impulsively bought like 15 more skeins of various shades. Gee, it sure would make painfully obvious my financial illiteracy if anyone saw this. Good thing you didn’t.

I found the cutest fucking pattern on Etsy. My sisters loves gardening. She hasn’t grown any carrots yet, but she wants to. I made her this lil’ dude. Hopefully he will provide some encouragement and moral support. No name for him yet. He’s carrot dude. 🧶 🥕 🧑‍🌾

Crocheted carrot with arms and legs, wearing overalls and a neutral expression. Three leaves sprout out of its head. In the background is a bookshelf.

Ha! Found one in the wild. This is a Reddit comment on a post about one of the many vile things Howard Stern has said on his show. Least he capitalized the ‘B,’ I guess. 🙄

Reddit post: “So. Much. Misogyny. Could you imagine if he was using Black people for his ‘act,’ his ‘role.’ Actually, I’m sure he has. His specific bigotry is against women though. And he uses Robyn as a shield - Black and female! Covers both bases! Disappointing that Robyn is as much a part of it as him.”

Made lil’ moon guy. 🧶 🌕 Didn’t…turn out how I wanted. The creator of the pattern does it way better (obviously). The heart on his leg especially didn’t turn out how I’d hoped. But I’m content. He’s doing his thing. Here’s my lil’ moon guy. #crochet

A crocheted moon guy with rosy cheeks, craters on the top and side of his head, and a heart on his leg. He is holding a star, and he has a smaller star on top of his head.

YOURE BACK?!??!?! HUZZAH!!! 🙌🏾 🥳 Here, have a burrito. And my puppo for good measure.

A crocheted happy burrito with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and meat filling. It is wrapped in tinfoil.

My yorkiepoo Bubby in his little black sweater hanging out curled up in my bed. He is on a black comforter next to a gray wool blanket and a white wool dog blanket that he ignores because it’s for him and he likes to yoink my stuff instead.

I’m not sure what it is I love about anthropomorphic food, but I love anthropomorphic foods. I hunt down patterns on Etsy and then I crochet them. So many anthropomorphic foods. I LOVE anthropomorphic foods. 🧶

A crocheted happy tomato with little brown arms and legs holding a fried egg. A bunch of books on a bookshelf are behind it.

A crocheted happy pancake with blueberries and dripping syrup on top and little legs. It sits on a black comforter.

I don’t have the new one done yet (soon!), but here’s the old one! I improved since then, I swear. 😭

My hand with chipped blue nail polish holding a happy burrito with a smiley face on the gray wrapper. The meat, lettuce, and cheese is sticking out from the top.

I made a lil’ waffle guy for my brother’s birthday. 🧶 🧇 His name’s Mr. Batter. Please be kind. He is sensitive. (My brother and I are both grown adults btw.)

Photo of a crocheted waffle with a smiley face against a gray background. The waffle has light brown grids over a dark brown base, along with dark brown arms and dark brown feet. There is a small slathering of syrup and and a raspberry on the top right of its head. His name is Mr. Batter. Please be kind. He is sensitive.

So, my little puppo knows how to get OFF the bed, but he’s never able to get ON it. I finally caved and bought him some little stairs. TELL ME WHY this little man jumped onto the bed BY HIMSELF right when I set the stairs down.
