Because folks liked my latest pigeon comic so much, here's another pigeon piece!
I made this a couple years ago for a sadly now defunct publication called Pipe Wrench. I hope this piece helps spread more pigeon love.

Does anyone know of any spindles that make sound on purpose? Like with holes to make a whistling sound or something inside to rattle?

NĂĽlhus aka needle houses aka needle keepers made with wool fabric, protected by a ceramic case. Stamped patterns with inspiration from plants and nature in general and the geometrical lines somewhat inspired by runes.

People like to pretend I will "get better" so they do not have to think about the deadly lie they are living. Abandoning disabled and high-risk people to preventable death is eugenics.
To clarify, this is NOT just an American issue -- think of the "pan" in pandemic.
The MSKCC Library
The People's CDC (weekly weather reports on COVID in the U.S.)
Image IDs available in Alt Text and written out below:
Image ID begins. A black and white cartoon comic titled Pandemic Year 4. This is panel 1. A boy with short hair â Joey, the author of the comic â is holding a Christmas wreath and handing it to his boyfriend, a boy with long hair and a beard, who is standing in a window while decorating. The text reads: This year, my boyfriend and I got fresh pine wreaths from the farmerâs market â our fist big Christmas decorations together!
Panel 2. A hand holds pine needles. Cartoon stink clouds radiate off of the pine needles. The text reads: I break pine needles between my fingers and it smells hideous. Pain shoots through my head.
Panel 3. Joey stands in front of a table on which there are various foods. He looks disgusted and is covering his nose and mouth with his hands. The text reads: This is how I have lived since my February 2020 COVID infection. COVID caused brain and nerve damage, making everything smell and taste like rot. The condition is called parosmia, and it has no cure. Eating is a nightmare.
Panel 4. Joeyâs boyfriend, a taller boy with long hair and a beard, puts his hand on Joeyâs shoulder. They are shown from behind and are both wearing backpacks and winter coats. The text reads: Last week, my boyfriend walked me home from work midday after I had a near-fainting episode. I wear a heart monitor full-time. Doctors say Iâm âtoo youngâ.
Panel 5. Joey is shown from behind, sitting sadly and gazing out a window. The text reads: Iâve literally been isolated from the rest of the world for four years. One COVID infection destroyed my life, and I canât risk another. How can I get you to understand? After becoming disabled by COVID at 19 years old, I have been completely shut off from the outside world.
Panel 6. Joey stands in between two maskless and anonymous figures. Joey looks uncomfortable and is crossing his arms and gazing at them. He is wearing a respirator mask and goggles. The figure on the right is holding a bag labeled âfood Joey canât eatâ. The text reads: âFriendsâ and family who have seen the depth of my suffering for four years have stopped masking and canât be bothered to care. Family Christmas meant that I had to reiterate daily that I would not and physically could not eat at restaurants.
Panel 7. A drawing of an open laptop, next to which lays an N95 mask. On the laptop, a headline from the Washington Post is displayed. The headline reads: Covid kills nearly 10,000 in a month as holidays fuel spread, WHO says. The comic text reads: This winter has been the 2nd highest peak of the pandemic, with at least 10,000 Americans dying of COVID in December. Playing pretend at ânormalcyâ is profoundly violent and deadly. Under the comic frame, a citation reads: The Washington Post, January 11, 2024. This is an undercount, as there is no more COVID tracking in the U.S.
Panel 8. A drawing of Joey gesturing at an educational chalk board with a pointer. He is wearing a respirator mask, goggles, and a sweater vest. The text reads: COVID is a virus that causes long-term damage to your organs and nervous system. Itâs also a Biosafety Level 3 pathogen, like tuberculosis, meaning that is can be lethal upon inhalation and requires special and serious PPE in Laboratories. The Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has a digital library of research on COVID impacts. https://libguides.mskcc.org/CovidImpacts/Home
Panel 9. An anonymous figure behind an oration desk is trying to cover a pile of bones behind them. On the pile of bones is a flag that says: Just keep buying and working! The text reads: You are being led to enact violence on your community members by a government who is sacrificing you on the altar of capital. You should be terrified.
Panel 10. A drawing of Joeyâs head from the side. he is wearing a respirator mask. The text reads: There is no neutrality in a mass-death and mass-disabling pandemic. Wear a mask or forever be complicit. The comic is dated February 3, 2024. Image ID ends.

I wish it would be less grey.
Yeah, January was pretty relentlessly gloomy, wasn't it?
And cold. I will put on my warm socks.
âŚI wish I had some rainbow socks.
Hmm. We've looked at rainbow sock yarn, and it seems like it's never quite right.
Sometimes it's too scratchy. Also, rainbows should have pink! Even though real rainbows don't really have pink. But rainbow socks should.
What about this one?
No, the colors are too dark. It should be more pastel. But not TOO pastel.
You know, a number of years ago, I thought about a possible way of dyeing yarn into a gradient, and even built part of the necessary apparatus, but I've never managed to try it yet.
âŚ
Ehh, what the hell, it looks like I have an afternoon free, if only some new crisis doesn't interrupt. And I still have some supplies left over from that time we tried yarn-dyeing the one summer. Sure, why not?
My gradient-dyeing method works! It's incredibly slow and fiddly, and certainly wouldn't scale up. But for an occasional one-off, it's pretty cool. I may be planning to go out at some point and get a larger diameter sonotube.

Some mushroom socks!đđ§ŚMy best friend sent me a Finnish knitting pattern she found on pinterest which I google translated. The things I do for people đ
The pattern:
[Image description: a pair of knitted mushroom patterned knee length socks. They have green cuffs, 5 rows of different shaped mushrooms in different colour combinations of brown, light beige and yellow, 2 rows of green leaves between the mushrooms and 4 rows of green leaves on top of the feet. The background colour of the socks is charcoal grey. The first image has the socks layed flat and the second image has the socks on feet. End ID]

Thinking about how there are almost no weapons in subnautica and how that shaped the way I approach the game?? Also enemy drops (or lack thereof but less so)
But like, as the player you're faced with a big scary fish and your first instinct is to kill it. Either to make the threat go away or to get the loot from it that it's clearly gonna have because or how big and scary it is. Because that's what you can do in pretty much every other game, and kinda what other games encourage you to do.
But not in subnautica... like, you hardly have any weapons so right off the bat, you don't want to have to square up against whatever you've found. And that changes so much about how you play the game... you hide and focus on getting faster instead of beefier, and you learn to coexist with the things living in your environment rather than dominating them.
You might even learn to appreciate what you initially found so intimidating, and you learn more about the environment than you would have if you'd killed the threat right off the bat.
#i keep asking gamer bf for tips#because i'm bad at video games and don't wanna spoiler myself on my first play all the way through#but he keeps telling me to fight things#and it isn't ABOUT THAT

Absolutely obscene by the way that honey comes in bears instead of rabbits. Sell me Honey Bunnies or die by my sword.

So glad to have this hood done with the wet weather moving in as it is. It's wool, and very cozy. The pom on the end is fox fur from a local trap-line!
