How do you typically source your wool? I looked locally and there doesn’t seem to be much around here at first glance.

I had never heard of Kagi before; I’ll need to look into it.

I can completely get behind paying for a service if that means the service works and is better than all the other ones. I’ll at least try it out. Personally, I’d probably prefer if I could pay for a certain number of searches (like pay for a 1000 searches with 20 bucks) instead of the subscription model. I’m glad that there’s an ad-free search service though.

Yeah, right now they offer 100 free searches and then 5 bucks a month capping out at 300 searches, along with other tiers. Would much prefer it to be more like a prepaid cellphone, and just buy searches… or maybe have the searches roll over to the next month lol. I’ll still try the free searches, but it would be nice to throw money at the thing instead of having the stress of yet another subscription service to remember to cancel if I stop using it.

I did not consider Facebook marketplace for some reason but that’ll be a good place to start. I love to learn how to do things and collect skills like pokemon so maybe I could learn how to process and spin fleece while I’m at it.

I will absolutely bookmark world of wool. Thanks!

Yeah, it’s way more a problem with urban design in my opinion. In a lot of parts of the US, including where I’m at, a lot of cities are just… One road. Maybe two. You just continue to add stuff to the road and then become surprised when traffic happens and then it’s time to try (and fail) making more roads. It’s a city on a stick. Being a cyclist means risking your life to ride near the side of a street where there is no sidewalk and praying to God people can see you. And then every single commute is much longer than it needs to be.

I do not like it… but a car is the only reasonable option for cities designed so poorly.

That sounds so cool! I just started getting into gardening but did not consider you could grow dyes. You better post pics whenever it happens

From left to right, top to bottom: lesbian, nonbinary, trans, lgbt, pansexual, bisexual, and asexual pride flags.

Even if there were a “biological advantage” the only reason people started to pretend to care about women’s sports is because it’s a way to alienate trans people. If there were a good faith discussion being had, it wouldnt be so infuriating.

I hope that something good comes from all this in the end.

Thanks for the reminder that I should definitely plant some of these. Fresh blackberry jam is heavenly! Definitely one of the most underrated berries imo
