The finished beanie! Made with malabrigo yarn in the colorway “matisse”

Incredibly, that first photo is more color accurate. This yarn is so so blue, y’all

@the-fibre-stuff​ an answer to your tags about how I made this so fast:

partially it’s that this is a super bulky yarn, and partially I think I miscommunicated a few posts ago? I think I might not actually be a beginner knitter. I learned to knit within a few months of when I learned to crochet eight years ago, I just haven’t knit much since then so I’m not very experienced at it

[tj-crochets]

oh yeah oops here’s the pattern link! It is not a free pattern, but comes with options to make it using bulky or super bulky yarn. I used the super bulky option

This advice on how to deal with "racist mouthy twats" has gone viral because it's good advice

Some great advice from Facebook user Paul O’Connor who might make you think how to handle a potentially dangerous situation differently than a straight on confrontation or silently ignoring it. Good advice on what to do when you find yourself near a racist mouthy twat who is spouting out their crap at some unfortunate person. …

Good advice on what to do when you find yourself near a racist mouthy twat who is spouting out their crap at some unfortunate person.

NEVER engage the perpetrator. He (and it is usually he) is looking for confrontation. Instead speak to the person he is abusing. Say hello. Introduce yourself. Shake his or her hand. And just stand with them. Keep talking. About anything. Weather. Bus schedules. Football. This kind of bullying never works against a group of people having a conversation. Usually a single person travelling or a mom with a kid or maximum, two women are targeted.

Form a group of people with and around them if you can. Don’t tell them they are not alone. Just don’t let them be alone. I speak from experience. Once, I encountered a young girl wearing a hijab being abused as a terrorist by a drunk man on a train. I just went and sat beside her and started a conversation with her. After a while, the dude lost interest. I had a lovely chat with a young student from Qatar. She wanted to study literature while her dad was only prepared to pay for engineering or commerce as he wanted her to join the family business. It helped her feel safe and it expanded my horizons.

This is known in behavioral psychology as “non-complimentary behavior”; by not fueling the aggression of another person and you can flip the whole script of all their expectations, and without any footholds for their aggression (like direct provocation and confrontation/conflict) to launch into further tirades against, the aggressor can’t continue their angry scene-building. The more people who participate in script-flipping, the more successful it gets, as in this post you see with the advice to form a protective group between the bigot and their target for that very purpose.

There’s an NPR podcast called Invisibilia which goes into detail about how it works and what sort of people rely on it everyday professionally and for survival alike, in their Flipping the Script episode.

I was just listening to the audiobook of Good Omens and was reminded of this passage:

And I’m trying imagine either of these two… 

Hanging around to find their target, in order to deliver something that was often depicted like this…

Imagine that. That’s part of Aziraphale’s job! Who’s going to write that for AO3?

My teacher has a poster on my wall and I honestly think that it’s a picture of a tumblr sexyman from an alternate timeline. There’s just something about it that makes me think some people would go crazy for it

[weaver-z]

Like I’m not joking I sincerely believe that in an alternate timeline this guy stars in a weird indie horror game as a deceptively charming and chipper classroom teacher who slowly leads you toward insanity and reveals some kind of eldritch nature. Like tell me that this guy’s design doesn’t scream alternate timeline sexyman I’m in physical pain… he’d be named some shit like Mr. Luxbulb and people would STILL want to fuck him

[ID: the Tintin meme with “Captain it’s Wednesday” - but it is Doctor Mensah, leaning over a table looking done with life. She wears a purple tunic, has brown skin and short, fluffy pink hair. She is saying “What a week, huh?” To Ratthi, beside her, in a green shirt, looking concerned. Ratthi has curly brown hair and slightly lighter brown skin. He replies “Dr Mensah, it’s Wednesday”. On the right floats a gray drone that looks mildly surprised. /end ID]
