    @darthted @200ok I haven’t watched any of it. It was a conscious choice for my own mental health.

    @AshleaMcKay Wasn’t sure if you meant the hair or the lippie, but they both look FAB!


    This is silly. I knit and sew, and it’s far more expensive to knit and sew than it is to buy. https://t.co/b1BUQXTDBT


    I mean, “how to make a simple T-shirt” – are they joking? Do you know what an overlocker costs? Decent jersey fabric? Ridiculous.


    @mmastertheone @Gin_ev_ra Exactly! I mean, I’m a fan of mending, sure. But it’s ridiculous to chastise the young for not sewing t-shirts.

    Okay, I think I’ve read all the internet. Time for chores. #funemployment


    @mark_sabbatical Repairs, definitely. The world needs Maintainers! πŸ˜‰


    @gilmae Exactly! I think self-sufficiency and maintenance are important, but this is the 21st century. Let’s be realistic.


    @MaxAntonovAU @andykelk Just passed that on to @sezshares – you’d be lucky to get her! πŸ™‚


    @jesstelford @ijayessbe @yow_oz has offered childminding the last few years! https://t.co/qKLZGiibEK


    @yow_oz @jesstelford @ijayessbe Whoops- didn’t realise it was so new!


    @tareiking Oh, thank you! Between your response and @glasnt’s, I decided to submit. πŸ™‚


    YAYYY @mssharonfrance is on Twitter! πŸ˜€


    @mssharonfrance And you’re already liking, and replying… You got this. πŸ™‚


    RT @glasnt_ebooks: We can all go home now! Knitting is totally open technology!


    @glasnt_ebooks @glasnt So freaking great.

    @darkhorse166 @lucykbain I know because I use https://t.co/4CIHl2KJKq and it imports from sites that use those (which are most!).


    For #funemployment day two, I’m eating cream puffs for breakfast. Thanks @pyko and @meganwcook!


    @darkhorse166 It’s pretty good. I use bookmarklet to scrape interesting recipes on my desktop, then sync to iPad in the kitchen!

    @glasnt GAHH. I want to submit a talk for WOOTCONF, but I suspect knitting – even super geeky knitting – won’t go down well as topic. πŸ™

    Me: HOLY CRAP. William Gibson retweeted me today! I saw his post about overseas voters and quoted it, and he retweeted my response! 😳

    Rodd: I wonder if he used his neural interface to do it.
