If I were to make knitwear (hats, scarves, gloves, wristwarmers) with tiny hidden pockets for quick & subtle security key/ RFID use, would anyone be interested in buying them? Can be very easily customised.
Prices tbd, so feel free to suggest what you'd be willing to pay!

The Dassenech, known as “People of the Delta,” live on small islands in the mouth of Ethiopia’s Omo River as it flows into Lake Turkana, the largest inland lake in Africa. Isolated from the outside world, they have held on to traditions that have vanished elsewhere in East Africa
I woke up at 6:30 and couldn't tell if it was AM or PM at first.
Winter is here.

Gah, still can't believe it's less than a month before the fabled Teet Yeet. Also can't believe it's been four long years since I first realized I wanna do this. Every damn day, I've thought of it. And it's finally nearly here. Wow.

US election important info (Miami-Dade county, FL)
Miami-Dade county is reporting 23% of early ballots are being rejected for supposedly missing signatures.
If your ballot was rejected, go to this link for help, you can get someone at the local Dems to help you or you can do it yourself:
surgery supplies
Laxatives, tube clamps, sleeping pills and pudding -- the weirdest Amazon wishlist I've made yet.
Revised: shaping up to be the quickest, actually.
There is a surgery opening for November 25.

It's #NationalCatDay here in the U.S. so have a picture of #PartManxFreyja sleeping on my stepladder. This one's from back in July of 2019, just before I moved to Illinois.
Medicaid has approved my top surgery. I don't even know how to feel. Overwhelmed.
I wonder if these next two weeks will be the longest of my life, or the shortest?
Shaping up to be the former.

Gonna skip the playlist again this week - I just don't feel like doing it. 😆

Hey folks, please remember: Indie games are usually made without the abuse developers suffer at the hands of AAA game publishers. The developers and artists are paid more, get proper credit, and aren't forced to shovel in microtransactions because of corporate meddling. Not to mention they're usually more fun as they're designed with gameplay in mind first (instead of many AAA titles which attempt to psychologically manipulate you into buying microtransactions).
Buy indie games, pirate AAA ones
