Backed up my tumblr; what up to

[kitewithfish]

Welp, backed up my Tumblr using this tutorial - It worked fine, and it's nice to have the whole things saved in one place. I doubt I'm slated for deletion, but honestly, how would I even know given how awful Tumblr's admins are at communicating? 

Watching: Person of Interest, restarting from season one because I do not have a clear idea of when I stopped watching. I'm really enjoying it but I'm also surprised at just how expensive it seems - I usually like tv shows that are pretty low budget, so for a show that averages a fair number of car crashes per season, it's kind of surprising that I like it as much as I do. I'm experiencing a slight sympathetic neck cramp watching Harold's posture. Taraji Henson is a fucking amazing gift - just solid a Carter from the start. 

Knitting: Fidget Socks ! (Free pattern) This is a good pattern for variegated or hand dyed yarns if you like socks. Pics of mine on Ravelry with the link. I have done with before with the Fish Lips Kiss heel and it's a good fit. 

Reading: The Revolutionary by astolat - just in case you needed a Transformers fic to break your brain with about the nature of society, and compromises, and the things that we ignore for the sake of our own comfort, and the choices we make to live with ourselves, and what we do when we are no longer the people who made those choices anymore. Oh, for fuck's sake, go read it, it's Astolat, you know she's good for it.

That's an interesting sock stitch pattern. How does it wear? I'd be worried about snagginess because, honestly, I am an absolute champ at snaggery.

Glad to hear your backup worked. It's on my (bulging, endless) todo list. Which I ought to get done today if I'm going to delete tomorrow. Which I am because whether or not I'm flagged or shadow-banned or whatever, censorship and nazis are not the style of site I participate with, end stop.

It wears pretty well! The stitches with the yarn passed in front are pretty flush with the surface of the sock bc of the ribbing, so it doesn't seem super vulnerable. But I have only made this pattern once before and I have been a little ginger with them because it was souvenir yarn that I really like. Overall, it feels safe as long as you keep a slightly tight gauge.

I actually found the back-up relatively smooth and quick - took maybe half an hour to download all my posts once I got it set up. The instructions were pretty good and straightforward.
