thimble? braggart.
this is what my thimble looks like bee tee dubs.
it's great. packs flat in your wallet.
edit: oh fuck i should have had more caffeine before admitting this
This is what a thimble is to me:
me too until i took up sewing again last year. that flat thimble is great for having (part of) a sewing project in your purse.
i just used it to turn my bike gloves into turn signals with dayglo neon elastic. also so they can really tell when i'm angry (there are neons on the middle finger because if you're making it yourself, why the fuck not)
Question out of left field: does the word "plex" mean something to you, being someone who sews (I almost said sewer)? I know it's more of a weaving thing, but therein, I'm developing a theory of polyplexic axiomatic systems defined by topological matrix - how our brains create a functional modelment of reality with limited knowledge using both logic (Adam) and intuition (Eve) - and I'm curious to learn what some other people's exposure to this word/term is. Entanglement is what procedurally generates our reality for us, and the world is an illusion, existing inside of us, and many ancient cultures have much spiritual and artistic symbolism related to entanglement, such as Celtic knots.
Why have you given biblical human names to abstract concepts?
Oh you don't recognize the literary reference? Our intuition will be the one to first figure out the nature the matrix and will facilitate understanding for your logical mind. You are not IN a simulation, but rather each of us are our own pocket of procedurally generated experiences based on how we entangle ourselves with Karma.
i can tie the string onto the needle after 3 or 4 tries so with that overwhelming authoritativeness please let me say plexing sounds like flexing with your pooper. we don't really use "plex" in any of the fields i've worked in (except for like, complex, simplex and multiplex and words like that. i'm pretty sure that's not what you're asking)
also i like seamstress even though i'm nonbinary. it's more fun than the other cinnamon rolls.
I mainly call it that because it's porous, as I've taken up one of Ed Gein's hobbies. But it's more like two peas smushed together.
I wonder if you are thinking of Albert Fish? Although he was more of a needles-in-the-taint aficionado.
Was it Fish? I used to be an expert on this shit, used to make dating profiles saying I was looking for the Homolka to my Bernardo. I guess since I healed so much, my mind stopped gravitating to such dark places. Now I just have a cult where I teach flesh alchemy. It's for the kids!
Honestly, I could be wrong. . . Been a long time since I was really interested in that stuff too. You must have had some interesting experiences off of that dating profile.
Yep, Long live the new flesh!
The most effective way to break the ice was to ask someone what their opinion of the universe was. Then we'd have a meaningful discussion on the big picture ideas. My "cult" is an educational art project where I teach philosophy, spirituality, and mental health skills to help people heal and self-actualize. I think the FBI is going to say I'm literally the devil when I am only a cop. I think. I also think my life partner falsely accusing me of much, but that's just cuz he's CIA and helping me build a good cover story. I've already been arrested for assaulting him because my God is he skilled in manipulation and deception. I love him though. He's not only helped me quit meth but he taught me much about Buddhism that I was ignorant to.
Have you ever read A Scanner Darkly? That's what these comments remind me of. Not in a good way.
Yea, we do both the legal and illegal work in the CIA. A band is a thing with many fans that can cross borders with near-impunity. ;)
I mean, if you're teaching those things and in America, you're probably going to end up on a list somewhere, sure. Congrats kicking the meth, I struggled for decades with smack.
I was already on all the lists by time the Crazy Indigo Aliens, which is an acronym, decided to make contact with me on an acid trip twelve years ago. Now I stare at goats, which is a cultural reference to a movie about Project Star Gate, which IS MKULTRA; they're our enlightenment programs. The reason they have the FBI tracking popular artists like Andy Warhol is to get the most pig-headed to listen and learn about the sorts of things I teach, and I guarantee I've trained many law enforcement persons over the years.
