@twotone this is true! though its worth noting that cooking is vastly more affordable than even the cheapest takeout while making ones own clothing is not infrequently the more expensive option
so even if they are both choices, there’s a lot more pressure towards cooking for oneself over sewing for oneself

@twistylittlepassages any hashtag can be a thing if you do it enough
@kiesa its very odd that they put it in the title like that! but i guess they’re treating it like a series, metadata wise?
@kiesa DAW numbers (most of) its books so I suspect Direct Descendant is the 1979th book they’ve published in paperback. If true the number should be listed on the cover, spine, &/or copyright page (assuming you have a physical copy at least, idk how it works for ebooks)
this site reports misprinted numberings and gives some of the history: https://isfdb.org/cgi-bin/pubseries.cgi?1544
and librarything records the publication number for some 1800 titles, the most recent of which is Aftermarket Afterlife by Seanan McGuire which was published in 2024 as book 1957
I imagine when they started doing this they did not imagine they’d get into “looks like a date” territory
@pixouls COL is included as a factor in wage policies: «Among the data points in this dimension: What is the ratio of the state's minimum wage to the cost of living for a family of four? What is the ratio of unemployment insurance payments to the cost of living?»
@stelepami what a charming plant! do you have any supports in the wall along that narrow ledge to keep it up there or is it just managing to balance?
@aschmitz @wallhackio you should get an apron, they’re quite nice to have even when you havent put all your shirts in the washer
#mood update:
@Lady i see you are working on your site today?
@alis yeah admittedly the most recent one was just…wildly repetitive in a “this book could have easily cut a quarter of its wordcount and lost zero meaning” which is totally the kind of thing a good editor could handle but who knows whether a big 5 publishing house would actually bother these days
@alis yeah this + i have read good books thru self pub but i have also read books thru self pub where i was like “this author is clearly a decent writer but its a shame they didn’t have the resources for an editor to fix [insert glaring issue here]”
@wallhackio M says that if you’re following the pattern of thief -> thievery then mischievery implies that mischief is a type of guy
@djsundog i don’t think they’ve gotten to trains yet but Mural Arts Philadelphia was founded off more or less exactly this logic just about buildings
@moonsea oh man that is…really not all that surprising honestly
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio 1) lots of art is food, have you never been to a nice restaurant
2) the question at hand isn’t whether i would eat the clodburger but whether a vaporeon would
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ youre the one boosting clodburgers into my timeline
@wallhackio @vaporeon_ is the borger also a clodsire like in that other post
