Woo hoo!

I jusy fixed a seam that was going in one of the pairs of sweatpants I wear for bumming around the apartment.

Was it a neatly done fix? No.

Will anyone ever see it though? Also no.

Hoping to keep working on stupid little stuff like this with the sewing machine to build up my confidence/skill to be able to tackle stuff that actually matters if it's done well.

Why do people obfuscate hashtags? I think they've missed the point of a hashtag...


Been looking for an alternative to Google Maps. Organic Maps (OpenStreetMap) is great, but it doesn't know the bus routes in my city.

I remembered that the GRT (local transit) website had a trip planner that I used to use in the pre-Google days. Decided to give that a go again.

Turns out they're just using Google Maps now. Understandable, but disappointing.

The Transit app is good, and while closed source is Canadian.

i use transit.app unfortunately it uses navigation via google so if i use it on e os or on a devolved android it will tell me stops but it can’t tell me how to get there. i found it to be okay when i knew where the stops where but annoying when i didnt. would love an alternative too


I have never before in my life touched a sewing machine, but now that I have one, I decided that the first thing I'd try to make was a pen roll for my #FountainPens (one of them is a ballpoint, but we don't talk about that). There are definitely some things I'd do differently the second time around, but I freaking love this machine!

I have acquired what I believe to be a high-quality hand-me-down sewing machine from my mother-in-law. Now, apart from thread and fabric I only need to have one more thing...

...any idea whatsoever how to use it.

It’s really not hard to get started. Something on it makes something spin. You do that a bunch of times or hold a switch so a motor does
