    About a decade ago I wanted a cool fabric with a feminist scifi theme and I was not too fussed about quality. So I made this collage of old scifi covers with women. I have never used it (first found no pattern, then was annoyed at the quality of the fabric). I have decided to use it to test a pattern. I have to mix it in with some other fabric because I do not have enough for the (very fabric-hungry) pattern. But I wanted to show the fabric as a whole to people first. I kind of love it. #sewing

    Bow down before me. I completed the scifi dress I designed the fabric for a decade ago. #sewing

    The thing that may actually drive down my consumption (books, it is books) is that every time I order something online I get messages in triplicate for every stage of the delivery process. From &amp;quot;something may soon be picked up by some mail service&amp;quot; to &amp;quot;you just picked up your mail&amp;quot;.

    So, if you have ever wondered about the scatter pattern of a Chemex falling from a height of about 180cm I can confirm it is extensive.

    Ooookei, så jeg har akkurat hatt en samtale med et familiemedlem som påstår at NRK har fortalt dem at Wolden Bache stormet ut av studio etter at Stray Spetalen &amp;quot;avslørte en måte å tjene penger på som gjør vanlige folk rike på bekostning av bankene&amp;quot;. Dette later til å være KI-disinfo/svindel.

    Imagine coming up with a nifty pottery design, and then you show it to some people, maybe sell it (or they do), and it spreads to neighbouring regions, and 5000 years later the whole period in which you live is dated based on your nifty pot.
