Cicih Sukaesih helped bring the world’s attention to the lives of the young women in poor countries who made sneakers in the 1990s, first by organizing a strike and later by marching onto Nike’s bucolic corporate campus in Oregon to demand a meeting with co-founder Phil Knight.

Thanks for saying so. I really enjoy working different textures into it.

I've been using sushi rollers to transport my brushes since art school, finally decided to make my own brush-roll-up.

Wet felting is the process of using soap, hot water and mechanical agitation to coax wool fibres to knit together. I dyed some burlap and cheesecloth to work into the fibres as well, 'cause I love texture.

Here's a pic of the inside — all criticism for brush care can go to my twelve year old niece.

A handfull of rock (thelemmy.club)

Some kind of quartzy marbly thing? I found it by a hardware store in Northern Ontario.

Fits great in my wooden hand in my fruit bowl.

I made him. (thelemmy.club)

I'm good at a lot of things. Sewing isn't one of them.

This started when I got a pattern to use up the box of felt from my failed wet felting experiments. Since I already mastered The Dryer Ball, my hubris led me to believe I was ready for multi-cellular organisms.

And I was. He's my handsome fox man.

In November 2021, photojournalist Amber Bracken was on assignment for The Narwhal, reporting from northwestern British Columbia. She was documenting tensions over the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline through Wet’suwet’en territory.

Amber was handcuffed, held in a cell for three nights and had her camera gear and photographs seized — all for doing her job.

We believe this was a clear violation of her Charter rights — and The Narwhal’s. So we sued the RCMP to take a stand for press freedom. Now, our trial is underway.

“What we’re building together is about more than one march or one Legislative Session,” said YUCCA Campaign Organizer Jonathon Juárez to Unicorn Riot. “The We Got Us Mass Mobilization was the culmination of weeks of organizing and an intensive four-day bootcamp, giving newly trained organizers the chance to put their skills into practice and bringing together a diverse coalition of young people, community members, and organizations to take action together.”

Tool lending programs began in California in 1979. Today, public libraries lend out everything from housewares to camping gear in widely successful programs that have been adopted by communities around the world.

Israeli fire killed 11 Palestinians including two boys and three journalists in separate incidents in Gaza on Wednesday, local medics said, in the latest violence to undermine a three-month-old ceasefire in the war-shattered enclave.

Palestinian health officials said an Israeli airstrike killed three Palestinian journalists travelling in a car on assignment to film a displaced persons camp in central Gaza.

THE DOG’S BOLLOCKS

When your sentence says, “I’m about to say something,” and then you say that thing, we have a way of separating the two halves of the sentence: a colon. We also have an alternative way of separating the two—a dash. In previous times, people would sometimes combine the two :— they’d use a colon and a dash together.

Sorry heat exhaustion is making typos.

I know it's a joke but if anyone out there ever feels like they're always too hot or too cold (and it's not a medical thing,) check the tags on your clothes. Seriously, the kind of fibre you wear makes a huge difference in how you feel. I live where it gets below 30°C in the winter, where people ask me how the hell I'm not freezing. Well, I have a cotton tee, a merino wool stanfield, thick wool socks, wool fleece hoodie and a wool hat.

Edit: I'm not a lava golem, just a dumbass. NEGATIVE 30°C

This is a real world example of why media literacy matters.

Most common reasons for being woke:

  • Gay people
  • Gay people getting married
  • Player can be gay or trans
  • Non-white people
  • Player is non-white
  • Strong women
  • Socialism

Their "non-woke" approved games include Bayonetta, Tropico, The Witcher, and Final Fantasy XII.

It's on you to figure out what you're talking about before you comment.

At face value it looks like someone comparing the Nuremberg trials to punishing a political opposition.

I couldn't find the post you commented on because it was removed, but I think it was the one about Julius Streicher.

If it was, then... The hanging of Julius fucking Streicher after his conviction at Nuremberg is a little goddamn different from hanging journalists who don't politically align with the current government.

I agree with the mod.

I'm a chick, responding because you mentioned some women are grossed out by intact dicks.

Every penis is different in its own weird way so whether there's foreskin or not is just an extra thing. Size/shape/foreskin/existence doesn't affect how I think about the person.

Any person who thinks men ought to be mutilated to be attractive is lacking in empathy and judgment, and my entire friend group thinks the same thing.

90% Vegetarian. Chicken and Fish meat only. Canada.

I used to be a chef so I follow food safety guidelines with some wiggle room, since commerical kitchen standards are supposed to protect all kinds of people in a wide variety of circumstances, while I'm fairly healthy and in control of my kitchen/storage.

I don't let food that's supposed to be hot sit at room temperature for more than 2hrs max. I keep most starchy fruit and root veggies in loose, hanging bags and berries/greens/less starchy vegetables in the fridge. I usually only buy meat if I'm using it that day, only keep leftovers in the fridge for two-to-three days, and freeze anything else.

Super basic explanation: Bacteria are on anything not sterile or on fire. Most are harmless on their own but some produce shit that makes you sick. Like botulism is caused by the toxin the bacteria produce and not the bacteria itself, and it's found on vegetables. The bacteria (if they're not endospores) die with heat but the toxin remains. And with food production all mingled, bacteria from meats can be transferred to non-meat products, too. You can even get sick from raw flour.

Cooked foods have more available sugars and nutrients for bacteria to eat, plus warmth and moisture, so it's a great environment for bacteria to break out of hibernation, make babies and poop toxins.

Leaving cooked starchy foods out in ideal bacteria party conditions isn't great, and food poisoning isn't always throwing up and shitting your guts out. Sometimes it's a slight headache or a sore throat, and it can happen days or months after the fact. Ever had a 24 flu? Unexplained weird anxiety and a tummy ache that goes away after a day? Food poisoning happens to about 1/10 people worldwide every year.

But whatever, it's about how much risk you want to take on.
