Rachel Reid really said, “The thing you have to understand about Shane is that he’s dumb as hell.”

She’s so real for that. I’m almost done with the first book, and can confirm. The only things this boy thinks about are dicks and sticks. Full stop.

People need to stop trying to defend Shane’s intellectual prowess. Himbos are a very necessary part of the economy. He doesn’t need to be able to read his freak flag to fly it.

How dare you say Shane only thinks about dicks and sticks!

He also thinks about fucks and pucks.

And another pair of gloves. I’m quite pleased with these ones.

Back to the 1760’s Diderot pattern cuff shape this time, and I wanted to try adding some decoration, so I painted art nouveau swirlies around the cuffs using leather dye. (Which is of course not historically accurate, but art nouveau and mid 18th century menswear go together so, so well.)
My inspiration was a motif from an 1898 book, which I found on pinterest, and I re-drew it a few times until I had a version that I liked and that fit the glove.

I wasn’t sure how to go about transferring the design accurately to the leather, so I ended up making a stencil and tracing it using a very fine tipped pen, then colouring it in with the dye. The dye was very easy to paint with, but putting it in a little dish made it dry out and thicken extremely fast, which was not so good. For the second glove I put the dye in a porcelain thimble, which was better, but next time I’ll try to find something even smaller with even less exposed surface area to put the dye in.
Or I could perhaps try leather paint instead.
I’ll have to hold off on wearing these until I’ve gotten some sort of finishing coating to protect the dye, because it’s unfortunately smudged a bit from handling. I did do a sample specifically to test for this and it didn’t smudge, but in the sewing up process the gloves got touched quite a bit more than the sample, alas. And it may be partly due to the aforementioned drying out and thickening, which left more dye on the surface.

The leather is lambskin from ItalianSkins on etsy, and they’re sewn up using silk yarn that my mother gave me. (With a regular needle again, because the only leather needles I have are too big.)

My favorite ship dynamic is “they’re both extremely stupid in completely different ways and extremely smart in completely different ways, but rarely is any of that useful because they just get extra double stupid when together”

@MorePerfectUS: Bangladesh is raising the minimum wage for garment workers by 56% after workers led mass protests. Weeks of strikes had shut down factories for brands like Gap, H&M, and Zara. Worker groups plan to keep protesting, saying the new $113/month wage falls far short of fair pay.

“Don’t use Libby because it costs libraries too much, pirate instead” is such a weird, anti-patron, anti-author take that somehow manages to also be anti-library, in my professional librarian-ass opinion.

It’s well documented that pirating books negatively affects authors directly* in a way that pirating movies or TV shows doesn’t affect actors or writers, so I will likely always be anti-book piracy unless there’s absolutely, positively no other option (i.e. the book simply doesn’t exist outside of online archives at all, or in a particular language).

Also, yeah, Libby and Hoopla licenses are really expensive, but libraries buy them SO THAT PATRONS CAN USE THEM. If you’re gonna be pissed at anybody about this shitty state of affairs, be pissed at publishing companies and continue to use Libby or Hoopla at your library so we can continue to justify having it to our funding bodies.

One of the best ways to support your library having services you like is to USE THOSE SERVICES. Yes, even if they are expensive.
