I don’t know how LinkedIn works and at this point I’m too afraid to find out. I must have signed up at some point but I don’t know what I used to log in.
I do know that it emails me three or four times a day, and has done for years now, and I don’t know how to make it stop. What’s weird is that it gets stuck. It used to email me “so and so requested to connect with you!” and it’d be someone i’ve met in real life or whatever. Mostly thru roller derby. And I’d be like, no, I’m not connecting with shit, I don’t know how to use that site. And so it’d email me daily reminding me about it for about a week, and then it’d give up.
Lately, it’s decided to ask me, sometimes twice or three times a day, “do you know so-and-so?” and it goes back and forth between two different people, both roller derby people I haven’t seen in a solid three or four years now, maybe more– but it’s just the two of them, and it emails me about them literally twice a day. One of them used to be Dude’s boss, for a while, circa 2009. It’s. A lot. I don’t know how to make it stop and like hell am I ever logging in to that site again.
Anyway if you’ve ever wondered why I didn’t accept your request to connect on LinkedIn that’s why.
In other news, I replaced the needle in my sewing machine as per the advice of uhhhhmissbuster? was it you? it was someone I’m connected with on multiple platforms and I’m not sure which platform the comment was on and thus I can’t find the conversation to reply to it, and maybe it was dreamwidth, and gosh on the one hand I love having multiple avenues of conversation but I sure wish conversations were actually supported on Tumblr, it’s a pretty fundamental aspect of social media that the site rather forcibly neglects. Argh.
Anyway, I replaced the needle, and yes, it helped quite a bit– the old needle was actually some kind of specialty needle and I don’t know how or why that happened but there it is. I had to buy a new pack of needles to find my old pack, but once I did, I found the old pack and all was well. The machine still isn’t fixed, though. And it turns out, I’m actually fucking terrible at hemming, so several of the furoshiki, I’ve had to either seam-rip the hem and restitch it, or just go over by hand and mend the places where I totally neglected to catch the turned-under bit of seam. It’s been sort of humbling to realize that not all of my shittiness is blameable on the tools. Though, I mean, a lot of it was, so.
I’ll do a separate post with the Whole Saga Of The Furoshiki soon, though. But here’s a teaser picture:
