Hi Everyone! For the month of February @prologic@twtxt.net and I are donating our beer budget to the yarn.social collective!! We would love for the yarn community to join us in not only ‘dry February’ but also making a financial donation. Funds
collected will be used to pay a mobile developer to help build the mobile app! (@prologic@twtxt.net can speak to these tech goals)

I have kicked it off. Bye wine 🍷 I will
miss you!

Donations can be made via open collective.com and just search for yarn.social

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org thanks for these! surprisingly I have actually already seen a couple of these! I love the primitive builders. also I am fascinated by snow camping?!? hot tents, cars etc. I think because it’s so far removed from what we have here!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org probably closer to the hour mark. I also forget to blink so my eyes get sore from being dry. I think it’s especially good at night time.

For the last 2 years we have used this Moreton Bay Fig as our Christmas tree

The children were disappointed that we didn’t have a plastic one. But I think this one works great! Live pine trees are not common here. That was one thing I really enjoyed living in the US. I loved the smell of the Xmas pine tree! Anyone else care to share pic of their Xmas tree??? we would love to see them!!

@gnuposting@neotxt.dk it is not legal to be that good at gardening.

I am stuck at home recovering from surgery and getting bored. does anyone have any YouTube channel recommendations?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org oh I see Amazon.com have them really cheap. I think it’s worth trying!

yeah I have them. I started with a cheap pair (plastic) from department store. I think cost was $7. they tone down the glare. I will often get sore eyes from screens. I liked it so much I had them put the tint onto my usual prescription glasses. the bright white screen turns slightly yellow. we can probably organize to send you a cheap pair to try.

@eaplmx@twtxt.net soo cute!! love the costume. our dog would just eat his costume so we’ve never bothered!

those tents on top of cars are popular here right now. I’m terrified of climbing ladders so wouldn’t suit is!! plus we have 4 ppl and they look rather small.

a Disney photo that our 7 year old daughter took last night

@eaplmx@twtxt.net nah todays weather was nothing to be envious about. was awful.

@carsten@yarn.zn80.net that’s awesome. I need one for my phone!

so my friend gave me a bean. it grew into a huge beanstalk and now we have lots of beans, does anyone know what sort of beans these are?

FYI- these kittens are in our care from the RSPCA (animal welfare association). they were abandoned at 3 weeks old by an irresponsible pet owner. We are looking after them until they are big enough to be go to their forever homes. 😿😻

box of kittens

@blueneko@twtxt.net welcome! lovely to have you here!

we like cats too! currently have 5 kittens!

I is a cat in a basket

@tkanos@twtxt.net there are no festivals/ pumpkin patches etc. remembering of course we are in spring not fall. it was horrendous last night with the heat and humidity. the polyester costumes clinging to wet skin.

@tkanos@twtxt.net oh it’s not a huge thing. becoming bigger each year. young children get dressed up and go trick or treating but not many houses participate. however there are some neighborhoods that do go all out. a bit like Christmas I suppose.

snooze time

we are the proud (foster) of these 6

@prologic@twtxt.net the people who stayed on and are now joining a class action!! 😂😂they’re laughing all the way to the bank!!

@prologic@twtxt.net err yeah. feel real sorry for the guy. 🙄

search engine. works. great job everyone!! cool new feature.

@darch@twtxt.net I like the purple! I have always wanted to use a purple colour scheme for yarn as it represents bi partisan support (or lack thereof!)

happy last day!!@prologic

one of them had some tape (?) wrapped around its antlers. these are not native to Australia. Considered a feral pest.

can you see the deer?

how many times have you heard people say ‘if only there were an excel spreadsheet for that’ 😂😂😂

Frost on the ground in BNE in this morning! for all you ‘notherners’ - this is rare for us in the SUBTROPICS!!!

the new EGO electric ride on mower. I’m putting it on my Xmas list. despite the fact it won’t actually fit through our side gate!

@prologic@twtxt.net a yarning circle in Australian indigenous culture - “It is a place to talk, share, discuss, educate and have a yarn together, a place to build respectful relationships and a space to enrich learning experiences.” [title] https://www.newcastle.edu.au/campus-life/central-coast/ourimbah/spaces-and-places/yarning-circle

I would hope yarn.social embodies these values.

@prologic@twtxt.net the real question is: will the family be going on another lovely bush walk today? 🧐

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com perfect! Market is tight atm. He will give you my number. I’m asleep at the yarn chat time 😭

just thought I would share this photo of Algae.

@screem@yarn.yarnpods.com hey! I work in real estate if you need help finding a place to live! You know how to find me! 🤗

@ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com @ullarah@txt.quisquiliae.com that’s so awesome!! All we get here are the ‘Lego friends’ series. I would like to try out the art creators (?) series

@james@yarn.mills.io That’s a very old photo!! It is sometimes nice to remember when one was young!

What a great weekend!! Sitting at home with a broken foot. Getting lots of you-tubing in!!

@carsten@yarnd.orbsmart.synology.me wow!! the local fruit & veg store have a big machine to do this for customers! really good!!

@david@netbros.com they look great! we’ve got a couple of cast iron pans that I use on occasion. I prefer the creuset range- because I am time poor and can throw them in the dishwasher!

@prologic@twtxt.net xy problem. who knew!? 🤔

here’s a fun analogy:
what do you think of this brick 🧱
yep will definitely break some windows
no it’s for building
oh right- yep will make a good house
no it’s for building a garden bed
oh right- nope wrong kind of brick.. 🙊

anyone been to kingfisher bay resort on Fraser Island? could be a good local option for my holiday!

I’m ready for a holiday. all inclusive resort with childcare- it’s calling me !! anyone got some ideas.. no planes!!

@screem welcome!! great to see a new pod!! woohoo 🎉

@kayos@twtxt.net hi! I’m the site admin.. meaning I’m the administrator.. meaning I make cups of coffee for the lead developer.
we have had this discussion many times on many long car rides 😬
I fully understand the need for the dopamine hit and without introducing ‘likes’ and such yarn.social as a brand will suffer. however, it’s not here to make money. it’s more like social media rehab. we can’t be different if we are the same. we can’t spread the message if the message is tainted.
I really hope you stick around 🧶

@kayos@twtxt.net 👍 (see what I did there)

@prologic@twtxt.net as long as it is user friendly. not all the users have computer science degrees.. 🤪
