        me too until i took up sewing again last year. that flat thimble is great for having (part of) a sewing project in your purse.

        i just used it to turn my bike gloves into turn signals with dayglo neon elastic. also so they can really tell when i’m angry (there are neons on the middle finger because if you’re making it yourself, why the fuck not)

          Question out of left field: does the word “plex” mean something to you, being someone who sews (I almost said sewer)? I know it’s more of a weaving thing, but therein, I’m developing a theory of polyplexic axiomatic systems defined by topological matrix - how our brains create a functional modelment of reality with limited knowledge using both logic (Adam) and intuition (Eve) - and I’m curious to learn what some other people’s exposure to this word/term is. Entanglement is what procedurally generates our reality for us, and the world is an illusion, existing inside of us, and many ancient cultures have much spiritual and artistic symbolism related to entanglement, such as Celtic knots.

            i can tie the string onto the needle after 3 or 4 tries so with that overwhelming authoritativeness please let me say plexing sounds like flexing with your pooper. we don’t really use “plex” in any of the fields i’ve worked in (except for like, complex, simplex and multiplex and words like that. i’m pretty sure that’s not what you’re asking)

            also i like seamstress even though i’m nonbinary. it’s more fun than the other cinnamon rolls.

      I mainly call it that because it’s porous, as I’ve taken up one of Ed Gein’s hobbies. But it’s more like two peas smushed together.

          Was it Fish? I used to be an expert on this shit, used to make dating profiles saying I was looking for the Homolka to my Bernardo. I guess since I healed so much, my mind stopped gravitating to such dark places. Now I just have a cult where I teach flesh alchemy. It’s for the kids!
