This video shows how to cut up plastic bags to make plarn. It takes a while but it's easy to do while watching or listening to something. For the bag, I followed this video.

I haven't managed to count but I'm going through bags really quickly doing this. That bag was probably 2/3 of all the white plastic bags I've collected over the years.

 

I saw a video about ten years ago on crocheting with plarn (plastic bag yarn) and I thought it was such a neat idea. There was just one problem: I didn't know how to crochet. So, I started hoarding all my plastic bags (even more than I already was) thinking, "Oh, I'll learn how to crochet one day!" I finally learned to crochet a few weeks ago and now I'm working my way through my massive bag stash. I left the tail ends on and tried to tie them into decorations so I wouldn't waste any of the plastic.

I am way too excited about my trash bag bag. :)

My small Canadian town, where most people drive a massive pickup truck everywhere, has started considering improving transit and introducing car-free areas. Things are changing.

I worked as a baker for a couple years about ten years ago. During the summer, whenever it was raining, we would all take turns going out to stand in the rain for a minute just to cool off. I don't want to imagine what worse would feel like.

When something is your job, you usually don't want to keep doing it when you get home.

Learning to make good Indian food was one of my covid lockdown projects. Buying whole spices and grinding them myself made a big difference, and using ghee.

Maybe I was just lucky but I breastfed two children and nobody ever said anything to me. I did it in public and never used a cover. If I got any dirty looks, I didn't notice.

I like untangling things. We could work well together.

I didn't know Canada and Australia were in Europe

Lol you guys are ridiculous. Get over yourself. My family has to miss several years of anything that requires a plane so YOU don't have to be mildly inconvenienced for half an hour? Sure, bud.

The entitlement of the edgy childfree people (not all childfree people; most of you are cool) is hilarious. Screeching about entitled parents daring to take their children in public because they (the edgy childfree people) are entitled to being perfectly comfortable at all times. The irony is amazing.

I like American style pizza more than Italian.
