  2. Hi there,

    Her name is Ali and you can read more about her situation on Reddit here:

  17. Quilt is bound (hand stitched the top binding with various multi-coloured cottons. Nothing is straight or even, so the puffiness hides a lot of that - I don’t want to completely flatten it.
    I’ll add slow ‘big stitch’ quilting (a la sashiko) with fine perle cottons gradually, at least in the big border, to tone down and anchor some of that wooly puffiness before it gets de-furred and washed and properly photographed.

    But for now, I can use it as a big warm blanket.

  18. :boost_requested: Please boost!

    Genuine question for the Spoonies, mobile devs, and FOSS people of the fediverse:

    I'm currently sitting on an Android project that is ~85% ready for release to the public. It's a medication tracking app. Scheduling, refill reminders, notifications, etc.

    - fully FOSS
    - no AI involvement
    - no account creation
    - no unnecessary permissions
    - doesn't harvest your data

    The intent is to make it available for free. I would happily accept tips and donations toward support and maintenance, or a Pay-What-You-Want model. So the question is, what would you be willing to do to support?

    “When capacity is finite (& always it is, for everyone, whether we admit it or not) every small demand carries weight. What looks trivial on the surface becomes consequential underneath. Saving a small amount of energy in one place can mean having a little more available somewhere else”

  20. As much as I rate #ZenInternet as a ISP, talking to them about a slow connection and getting them to understand my health means I can't be unplugging things on my network and also I wouldn't be phoning them if was just a device on the network or something connected over wifi because that would be dumb is frustrating to say the least.
    I thought I had a few spoons to play with today but they are all gone now, retreating back to the bedroom, but the engineer is coming out Friday. #spoonies #mecfs
