Finished yesterday. Cross stitch for the frame and blackwork embroidery for the circular fills, on black 14-count Aida cloth.

While I feel like I've generally improved my project photography skills over the last few years, the contrast (or lack thereof) between DMC 211 and DMC B5200 in those smallest circles was A Trial.

Pattern here.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Me whenever someone recommends yoga for my fibro

It pisses me the fuck off that yoga is actually ancient and really good for you. Part of me still feels like it was invented to extract wealth from white socal moms.

art critics are so fuckin annoying btw. i went to a fiber art exhibition that was so so good that one of the tapestries made me cry and then i read about it in the newspaper and it was like "the theme was too vague and there was not enough of a shared leitmotif" and "this particular piece felt too busy while the elements did not provide enough visual information" or some bullshit. then i look the critic up and they're like an art history major who teaches at university level but has never made a single thing with their hands in their life. why don't you pick up a brush or a pen or some knitting needles or a loom or some clay or fucking crayons and learn some humility maybe.

#it's beautiful #I studied art history for a year before going to art school and yeah they are like that sometimes

The Netherlands (Holland) 🇳🇱

When the Euro was being designed, they intentionally placed illustrations of fictitious, non-existent bridges upon each paper note, as to not show priority toward one nation or another.

Or at least, they were fictitious... until the Netherlands decided to build all of them...
