For those who don’t want to go to LinkedIn:

(By the way, I have no idea why the algorithm showed me this job.)

    Squid is a man, although my wife knows pretty much everything you can possibly know about knitting and other fibre crafts. She doesn’t just knit, she spins and dies her own yarn. She has multiple spinning wheels. We used to have a loom, but it was massive, so I finally convinced her to get rid of it for space reasons.

    Also, by an odd coincidence, my grandparents ran a knitwear factory in London in the 1940s and neither of them even went to university.

      Given the enormous amount of metadata companies collect about us and the obvious connections of fabric to yourself, you are surprised that LinkedIn got it at least partially right?

          Yeah, you keep that blithe confidence, citizen. Until you IRL mention as an aside something about a catalog so niche & yesteryear that it may’ve gone out of circulation since… only to have a current copy silently show up in your mailbox outside not three days later, unbidden and without explanation. 😶😵‍💫

          Consume. Capitulate. Compartmentalize. Cope. OBEY.

        I enjoy regular human activities, such as eating…sleeping…%s…and urinating.

          yes yes. very normal. I look forward to meeting you during typical communal urination activities where I will not look at your reproductive organ or organs.

      My mother once tried to learn how to spin. My father came in as she was doing it, asked her a question so she stopped, answered, then looked down and realized she had no idea where she was or how to do it because the zone was gone and just never tried again.
