Finishing Friday
The center section of the Afghan is nearly finished. My son is holding it up to show how long it is. I do have one side panel nearly as long. I still need to make yet another panel then sew up the three parts. For this mid section I’ve been using a size K ChiaoGoo Tunisian cable hook. I’ll be glad when this is done. I don’t like working on something this big. When I just can’t crochet another…

Finally FINALLY got round to finishing this art for @little-cereal-draws Button House Dog Rescue au! PLS go visit their blog for more info for their au!!
Dogs on the ground are (L-R): Captain - German Shepherd Kitty - Pomeranian Pat - Corgi Fanny - Chihuahua Thomas - Shetland Sheepdog Humphrey - Golden Retriever Robin - Irish Wolfhound Mary - Dalmation Julian - Weimaraner
I also hope you dont mind I added my own headcanons for the other ghosts in the photo frames. Mostly based off pure vibes 😆
In the long frame are the plague dogs; I think they would have been all rescued from a puppy farm together. L-R (for the ghosts that dont have names I've just used the actors' names so you know which is which): Jemima - Husky (puppy) Walter - Rottweiler Katy - Bichon Frise Mick - Boxer Nigel - King Charles Cavalier Spaniel Geoff - Afghan Hound Agnes - Staffordshire Bull Terrier John - Chow Chow Martha - Poodle
Then the ones in the circular frames (L-R): Annie - Jack Russel Terrier William - British Bulldog Maddocks - Whippet (the only one not based on pure vibes alone, but it'd have been remiss of me to not make our other Yorkshire lad a whippet bsjsjdk)
Anyway this took so long bc i took it upon myself to make a million more dogs bjdsfk I hope you enjoy it nonetheless :D

Greetings! I just came across your post about the Annie's Cathedral Rose Window Afghan you made and I’m in love!! It’s so beautiful and it inspired me to try crocheting a blanket of my own.
I’m curious if you are willing so share some tips about your process, supplies, resources, etc. If not, I understand. Thank you for blessing my eyes with your artistry, and have a wonderful day ☺️
I'm glad you liked it. It was a pretty big project, but super worth it. I find most of my patterns on etsy, and when I can, I get my supplies from smaller yarn shops, but for some things, I really just default to Michael's or Joann's. I never wanted to make a blanket before, because the idea of a project that big that's just the same thing over and over again held no interest for me, so finding a circular pattern with multiple pieces and steps helped.

Quick knitting update since it's been awhile. I wanna share something I'm pretty proud of so far!

A blanket! Specifically a lap afghan I've been working on this since around the 2nd week of November! This is a Christmas gift for a friend, and I've still got a ways to go, but I'm doing this all from one cake/skien of yarn to make my life easier. @_@ and to not have to worry about attaching new balls after finishing one. Plus, the colors keep going! :D
Tbf the pattern I'm referencing ( moss landing pattern by studio knit) called for bulky yarn with size 10 circular needles and I'm using super bulky with size 11, but it'll be alright. The yarn I'm using is from the current Caron Anniversary line, called Koi Pond. The 2nd pic is how much yarn I have left and I may not even use it all. (The cake itself was HUGE, a little over 2lbs of yarn!)
Oh that is gorgeous!! Such a nice pattern and a beautiful color mix on that yarn!

One has to wonder why the Muslims of the world aren’t piling into Disney+ to support such a stunning and brave endeavor. Oh yeah, it’s because it has nothing to do with their cultural or societal norms and values, and in many instances seeks to subvert them in a straightforward manner.
Something we rarely consider regarding intersectional prog notions of “inclusion and representation” is that they’re imperial. They will loudly and dramatically feign concern for indigenous cultures and religions while they work to destroy or undercut them. These media portrayals conceptually drive all people into a uniform blob that conforms to Western corporate/intersectional dogma and offers circular confirmation of it.
Two decades of “religion of peace” rhetoric from non-Muslim Western leadership is in this vein. Western leaders who attempt to call movements like the Taliban or ISIS “daesh” and cast them out of their own religion has been habitual practice since the turn of the century despite Islam being a sectarian war zone for over a thousand years. You have to admit it‘s pretty audacious for someone like George Bush to issue dictates on Islamic doctrine from his Texas ranch or a podium in DC. What if Islamic states don’t want “inclusion”? Globalists will “include” them by force.
This imperial tact was clear in corporate propaganda during the height of both the Afghan War and Syrian Civil War. Western media was full of stories about Kurdish female fighters and leftist sentiment, Syrian LGBTQ rebel brigades and breathless concern from politicians for the fate of “hard won women’s rights in Afghanistan”.
This isn’t to say that you, as a Western person, can’t appreciate women’s rights in the tradition of classical liberalism, but don’t pretend you aren’t a frothing at the mouth imperialist if you get butterflies in your stomach at the mention of any of these things in the context of militarism or external cultural imposition.
The truth is shows like Ms. Marvel aren’t for Islamic people either. It’s for the Message™️. It’s servicing and attempting to create acolytes of the ideology.
Progs call it racism when people reject a shallow media vehicle laden with ideological suggestion that lacks resonance because it is forced and un-relatable.

@tropetember #18: bonding
Being Human
supernatural ♡ adam milligan/michael ♡ scent bonding ♡ a/b/o ♡ flufffffffff ♡ lucifer's cage ♡ 800 words ♡ ao3
Their nest is lovely. Not like any Adam's seen before, but that only makes him like it more. It's like a veritable blackhole of blankets and, when he starts lifting them to check the floor, he finds a circular depression like the bottom of a sphere. He turns to Michael, to find him holding a cushion he's making change colours with a critical eye. 'Did you sink the ground?'
Michael hums. 'A trench structure seemed to be best for what you described.'
'Call that a hobbit trench.' Adam shakes his head and picks up a holey afghan, glancing around. This is the kind of thing he'd add as a canopy, but how? Michael finally settles on a muted teal and looks up at him.
'What do you need?'
'Chairs? I'm thinking of hanging this above...' he throws it in an ample gesture, hoping to illustrate his point, but it just hovers midair. Right.
'Like that?'
He goes to say it's exactly like that, but Michael seems more confused than anything, moving it up and down, letting the edges drape like there's an exact science to this. It makes him a bit weak on the knees as he walks up to the angel to press a kiss on his cheekbone. 'You're doing great.'
The ease with which Michael melts into him is still a surprise. As are his own reactions to the proximity. It's not that he doesn't want him close, or that he thinks he wouldn't without the heat, but he's never experienced something like this before. Now, as many times before, the kiss devolves into an impromptu scenting session, the archangel pressing his face along his shoulder, down his neck, breathing into his collarbone. He whines at that, carding a hand through his hair to guide his mouth to his own neck as he teeths along Michael's.
When they fall into the nest, once they've finished it despite the distractions, Adam gets what he said about trench mechanics. In a way, the part of his brain that isn't swimming in the pleasure of reaching out and having Michael all over him, touching him, holding him impossibly close, gasping into his mouth, entrancing him with his scent. He rolls so he's holding the angel down against a sea of covers, straddling him, foregoing more kisses for the chance to scent a bit more. Michael shivers, happy to permit this for a while before he's guiding him up for another kiss. His mouth is tender but so responsive, and Michael is a better kisser than he's got any right to be.
'Is that so?' Cursing himself, Adam realises he thought that too loud. He buries his face in Michael's chest before giving an ambiguous growl for an answer. Michael relents, strokes the nape of his neck soothingly. 'I'm glad, seeing as you've been kinder than I...'
'Kind?' He can't help but cut him off, sitting up on his lap. 'I'm not being kind, Michael, I'm being...' An omega, his brain supplies. In heat. 'I'm being human.'
'I just meant you've been rather gracious about the whole situation.'
Gracious. He shakes his head. 'Nothing I've done is selfless, if that's what you mean' He lays down, head in Michael's shoulder. 'We're scentbonded, after all.'
'Scentbonded.' The archangel repeats, like trying out the word. 'I'm scentbonded to you.'
'It just means...' he doesn't know what it means. He had a scent bond with his mother, but that was different. A familial thing. 'I think it means you smell like me. And I like you.'
'Is that also why I want you close all the time?'
The words make his heart skip a beat, but also beg the question. Does he want him close only because of their scentbond? They've become friends in the cage, their interactions intimate when compared to what they were like early on their captivity. Still, Adam doesn't want to stop kissing him when his heat is over. And Michael wants him close all the time. The thought pulls him from his doubts, and he presses their lips together because he still can, because Michael is a good kisser. 'It's probably that, or another weird heat mechanic they didn't tell us about in class.' He sighs. 'But I think I'd still want you close if I wasn't in heat.'
Michael hums, happily, and pulls him closer for more kisses. His lips until he's gasping for air, his cheeks; flushed with desire, the shell of his ear, down his jawline; nipping at his chin. Across his neck, he noses at his adam's apple, kisses his way down to his chest, and Adam figures, maybe he won't want to kiss Michael after his heat is over. The thought is jarring, but also quieting enough for him to stop thinking about the future.

Video records participation of Russian Tu-22M3 bombers in Ukraine
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 05/14/22 - 11:48 AM in Military
This week, a video appeared on social networks allegedly showing the launch of two Kh-22 missiles ('AS-4 Kitchen') from a Tu-22M3 bomber in Ukraine. The Kh-22 was developed in the 1960s, it is an old weapon, something like 1.5 generation of Soviet guided missiles.
Russia's failure to achieve air superiority in Ukraine has been described as one of the most significant mistakes that Moscow has made. The Russian Air Force was expected to play a vital role in the invasion, which could have allowed ground forces to enter deep into Ukraine and take Kiev.
It wasn't due to lack of experience or capacity. Russia has almost 4,000 fighter planes and has experience with bombing targets in Syria, Georgia and Chechnya.
Tumblr media
Perhaps seeing the missed opportunity in recent weeks, Moscow has deployed its force of modernized Tu-22M3 bombers armed with Kh-22 missiles to hit the Ukrainian rail system. Such operations were initially conducted with cruise missiles, including the Kh-101 and Kh-555 and launched by Tupolev Tu-95 and Tu-160 bombers, but in recent weeks a change has apparently been made to the Tupolev Tu-22M3 (NATO reporting name "Backfire").
Tumblr media
According to a report by The Aviation Geek Club, Russian ammunition is being depleted faster than can be replaced - and as a result, the Russians have deployed older stocks of the Kh-459 ("AS-13 Kingbolt") and other Cold War missiles.
The video that circulated online shows the launch of two heavy Soviet-era anti-ship Kh-22 ("AS-4 Kitchen") missiles from a Backfire bomber. The Kh-22 is remarkable, as it is probably much older than any of the pilots of the Tu-22M3 bombers - as it dates back to the 1960s. Designed to attack heavily protected ships or targets on land, it was far from being a precision missile. He had a circular error probably about three miles and, as a result, was typically equipped with a nuclear warhead.
Tumblr media
The Kh-22 is powered by a Tumanski liquid fuel rocket engine, fueled with TG-02 (Tonka-250) and IRFNA (inhibited red steaming nitric acid), giving it a maximum speed of Mach 4.6 and a range of up to 600 km (320 nautical miles). The first ready-to-service missiles were introduced in 1962, but it took 60 years to see actual use in combat.
Tumblr media
The hang gliding missile is powered by a liquid fuel rocket and is usually launched from a Tu-22M3 flying at a speed of Mach 1.5. The missile then accelerates to Mach 3 before approaching the target. In its terminal phase, the missile dives at a sharp angle and reaches a maximum speed greater than Mach 4. Each Tu-22M3 can carry up to three of these missiles in overload configuration, although one is more usual.
Tumblr media
It has been suggested that the war in Ukraine is now just one way for Moscow to get rid of its old Cold War ammunition.
In mid-April, it was widely reported that Tu-22M3s had been used to bomb the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol, a Ukrainian resistance site that still continues. It is not clear whether these "bombing" attacks involved cruise missiles, as well as the free-falling "dumb" bombs that the Tu-22M3 can also carry internally and externally.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The aircraft carrying the Kh-22 are also showing their age. The Tu-22M3 is a modernized version of the Cold War long-range bombers that entered service in the late 1950s and were designed to target land and sea targets with supersonic missiles and bombs. The bombers have an operational range of 7,000 km and are capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
Tumblr media
The Tu-22M3 model, which was developed in the early 1980s, officially entered service in 1989. It was one of the few Soviet bombers to go into combat when it was used at the end of the Russo-Afghan War.
Russia currently maintains a force of more than 100 Tu-22M bombers in all configurations.
Earlier this month, a U.S. defense officer said that Russia had launched almost 2,125 missiles in Ukraine in 68 days of war, or just over 30 missile launches a day. However, it was not clear how many of them were thrown off the air.
Tumblr media
With the most advanced cruise missile stocks apparently decreasing rapidly, it would not be a surprise if the use of the Tu-22M3 in the war in Ukraine really increased as the air campaign continued.

I am in the middle of so many projects right now that I thought I’d dedicate this one to a want to make. A Fingerknit hat! I’d also like to make a shawl, poncho, or cape for my witch costume.

Driving Change: How the Plastic Package Industry is Embracing ESG Principles
The ubiquity of plastic package has put the spotlight on environmental, social and governance (ESG) as industry leaders take a leap towards decarbonization and circular economy. Incumbent manufacturers are harnessing sustainable packaging solutions to protect the environment, foster the planet and underscore society. There is no denying that packaging ensures product quality and safety; however, pervasive plastic pollution has been the major bottleneck towards sustainability goals.
According to UNEP, humanity produces over 430 million tons of plastic annually, while 280 million tons of short-lived plastic products become waste. Moreover, the packaging sector is the largest generator of plastic waste — the figure is likely to be logged at 1,014 million metric tons of plastic waste per year in 2060. Besides, the Ellen MacArthur Foundation claims 20 trillion flexible packaging items, including sachets and pouches, would end up in the ocean by 2040, provided regulator measures and binding policy are not taken.
Governing bodies and watchdogs are leaving no stone unturned to underscore socially responsible investment (SRI). ESG reporting can have a considerable impact on the strategies and operations of the firm, prompting leaders to advance toward the circular packaging economy.
Is your business one of the participants in the Plastic Package Industry? Contact us for focused consultation around ESG Investing, and help you build sustainable business practices
Mondi Harnesses Challenges & Opportunities with Climate Change
Companies with high ESG ratings tend to plan better for the future and boost returns. Predominantly, investors, insurers and lenders are eager to know how organizations are responding to environmental changes, the emergence of technology and customer behavior shifts. In essence, Mondi is on track to minimize specific waste to landfill by 30% by 2030. The U.K.-based company is gearing up to create 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable plastic packaging by 2025. The global giant has undergirded recyclability with an emphasis on structures with 30–50% material made from post-consumer resin (PCR). In doing so, it will work with recyclers to enhance the quality of the recycled resins, remove hard-to-recycle components and redesign packaging to mono-material solutions.
Amcor Uncovers Future-Driven Approach Keeping People at the Center
Businesses are increasingly emphasizing social goals to enhance financial performance, manage risk, boost reputation and comply with regulations. A commitment to inclusion and diversity, employee health & wellness, product safety and employee training can help companies build stronger relationships with stakeholders. The community pillar at Amcor has formed a global network of representatives to bolster the deployment of the company’s DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) agenda. It also conducted OurVoice@Amcor global feedback survey in FY 2023 to launch programs for more employee-centric and future-focused workplaces. Besides, Amcor went on to onboard more than 40 Afghans and about a dozen of Congolese team members in one year.
Coveris Adds Value through Governance
Robust corporate governance practices have become second to none in maintaining accountability, mitigating risks and fostering performance. In essence, sound risk management, ethics & compliance, transparency and board diversity can have a notable impact on brand reputation, financial condition and business operations. Coveris asserts it complies with tax laws, human trafficking, tax laws and regulatory compliance. According to the UK Tax Disclosure Policy published by Coveris on November 10, 2023, the senior management of the UK entities manages and controls the tax function (and related risks). The policy suggests the UK Group does not facilitate/tolerate tax evasion and it may claim properly available allowances, incentives, exemptions, credits, or other government-granted reliefs.
Making a Difference with ESG Reporting
Stakeholders, including customers, manufacturers, suppliers, governments and NGOs, are developing recyclable materials, fostering sustainable packaging for strength, safety and barrier attributes. Authentic information on the environmental footprint, contribution to society, tax transparency and corruption will place companies cut above the rest.
ESG reporting has become the silver lining amidst brands striving to enhance their position in the competitive market. Companies disclosing environmental data can assess the impact of plastic packaging, commit to proactive action and report on progress with transparency. In April 2023, CDP announced that it would add plastics to its environmental disclosure system for the first time, leveraging 6,743 organizations to disclose their plastic-related impacts, including that of plastic packaging.
As stakeholders embed ESG in roles, activities and responsibilities, companies are bullish towards investments in plastic circular economy, health & wellbeing, DEI and product and employee safety. The global plastic package market size, pegged at USD 355 billion in 2021, could depict around 4.2% CAGR between 2022 and 2030, according to Grand View Research. With suppliers and manufacturers making strides to meet packaging goals, the spotlight will continue to remain on socially responsible investing.
