  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Only if they're buying red yarn

That's the only one for schizoboarding

Damnit Johnson what's this?

I'm sorry sir, all Michael's had was this teal/green variegated Marino wool yarn.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

You're using marino on the board? Christy I'm relegated to acrylics or even string I salvaged from the bottom of the yarn basket.

Hey now, knitting is not boring! I’m fun! I’m fun, right? Right?…

[–] DosDude@retrofed.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

First of all, who cares? As long as you enjoy it. Second, at least you have a hobby. Many people don't, so bask in your superiority.

My hobbies aren’t boring :(

A Michael's once tried to charge me $7 for discounted yarn clearly marked $5. I haven't been to one since, and I encourage y'all to do the same >:(

if they're spending money at Michael's, land of grossly overpriced products, they're probably solving murders or very new to the hobby

[–] Okokimup@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Or live in any art supply desert like me. My other local options are Walmart and Hobby Lobby.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

the US is weird like that, eh

around here, if you have a Michael's, you have five other smaller/privately owned options nearby. and if you don't have a Michael's, you pretty much only have small private shops to buy from. you just gotta find them.
