Here are my model shots of the Askews Me Dicky. I am no Stephen West, but I hope I capture a little bit of his spirit 😅😂
If I didn’t express this enough in my previous post, this thing is the freaking best. 10/10 would knit again. Also, if you are a lover of the brioche stitch, I suggest this pattern.
Pattern: Askews Me Dicky by Stephen West
Yarn: Malabrigo Rios in Peachy, La Bien Aimee in Peche Mignon

Some days I feel like the only thing keeping me alive is my obsession with what AI is going to do to the world
What is AI going to do to the world?
No clue. I’m just hoping something interesting happens by the end of the year
Still more art coming, I’m just at an emotional fraying point I hadn’t expected to encounter
Hieroglyphs vs real life examples:
- Egyptian vulture (ꜣ = “ah”)
- flowering reed (i = “ee”)
- quail chick (w = “oo”)
- reed mat (p)
- reed basket (k)
- horned viper (f)

Best part of the weekly strabo session is that at some point I accidentally added the ff gold pants lalafell video to my session music playlist without realising and so every so often when we’re least expecting it that fucking music kicks in and I absolutely lose it every gd time
one of the most amazing things that has been said to me in therapy is that self esteem doesn’t exist.
and that floored people and the psych went onto say that what she meant was that self esteem is a concept that actually includes a vast array of things and labelling them all as one thing is really limiting and prevents actual improvement
you could have real strong pride in the things you create and hate your body
you could hate your creations but also want to share them with people
you could not hate yourself at all but not take care of yourself, engage in reckless self endangerment
thats all bundled under ‘self esteem’ but saying ‘i need better self esteem’ doesn’t mean anything
whereas if you say ‘i need to work on ways to keeping myself safe, refusing to act on destructive urges’ or ‘i want to be in a place where i believe compliments trusted people give me’
thats concrete, thats a goal.
having it said in therapy helped a lot of people in my group stop saying ‘i have low self esteem’ and start specifying about the actual issue they have
