Rug and Recs
Finished the other 2 longsleeve T-shirt plus regular t-shirt rug:
it came out ever so slightly smaller than the last 29x19 ish (as opposed to the 30x20 of the other)
Although tempted, I haven't started a new rug yet. I've been canon reviewing for Yuletide and taking notes and the combo isn't great for crafting. Soon though. Although not only do I not need a new rug, I'm starting to not even have places to put them.
*sigh* Three weeks of @recthething recs, a few MDZS/Untamed fic recs, art from tumblr and lots of art from the still anon, recently opened Trick or Treat collection:
I Hate the Way You Look at Me by venagrey (37k)
Summary: Wei Ying, a disgraced herbalist expelled from the Jiang School for cultivating chaos magic, has worked hard to rebuild his life. And that hard work has paid off: Yiling Laozu’s Maladies and Misfortunes is the continent’s pre-eminent dealer of inconvenient hexes. The only dealer of inconvenient hexes, really, at least who wasn’t an illegal sorcerer. But when an enforcer starts tailing him in the marketplace one day, all his hard work goes out the window in an instant. And when the sudden appearance of a mythical curse threatens to derail his entire life again, the only cure may be to forget it ever happened at all. (fascinating Modern with Magic AU with incredible worldbuilding)

Duolingo is forcing its updated path learning system on everyone now, I'd gotten it on my iphone a while back but still was able to use the old one on my ancient ipad but without me updating the app it switched over this morning. For the moment the desktop version is still the same but people have been reporting that there's a rolling update happening there too. I hated the new path so much I went from probably 30 min of language study a day to doing one lesson to keep my streak before realizing the old version was available elsewhere, I don't know what I'll do once it's new-version-or-nothing. I'll definitely completely give up on learning Yiddish and Welsh, which I only do via duo, but I suspect Spanish will join it. I'll probably continue Chinese via other apps, but I don't know. SIGH. Why duo. Blargh.
