I also consider āmanā to be gender neutral. I call Mrs Foreigner man all the time. Usually when she has irritated me.

Okok. I will take my talkative self over to chat instead of clogging the free seeds and clones thread.
I used to use ādudeā all the time as it was most often used with me by women friend!
Sadly, as I work in the arts it stopped translating years ago so Iām sticking to the inclusive side of things to be both respectful and safe.
Fun part is if i ever get pushed itās not like the 80/90ās upbringing wont kick in and Iāll cut you in half faster than you can say āwait, are those my legs over there?ā.
It makes the inclusive thing harder thoughā¦ as iām a loaded gun most of the time.

Was trained as a camera operator (motion picture film and video) as well as a grip/electric for the film industry. Cut my teeth, hating the bullshit attitudes and ended up falling in with the film arts crowd via a non-for-profit artist-run center based in moving image arts.
So now Iāve spent the past 16+ years empowering those that have no resources to tell their stories, learn a new trade, make some kewl shit, or waste my fucking time. All in all after 16 years at the same place Iām still smiling and having fun at work so I know it was the right call.
Basically my workplace supports 100years worth of film/video/HD workflows so my ADHD/OCD really fits in with the place

My mother knew a nice Scottish lady who would sit around watching football with her little terrier, and smash out an adult sized sweater every couple of days.
Are you going to do dibs or trivia on the first knit-king sweaters? 
Behold the handiwork of Moira, which I suspect has outlived itās creator.

Can I call dibs on the sweater?
My sister made me a Wesley crusher ensign outfit for Halloween as a joke. She did a pretty good likeness.

If youāre not already familiar with it, I highly recommend checking out AlliedMedia.org
And attending/participating with the Allied Media Conference this summer!
I attended virtually last time, and learned more than I ever could have imagined.
FUCKING NICE!
My partner doesnāt stop twiddling sticks OR poking with hooks. I have many a warm sweater and soon something made with Alpaca/Buffalo/Merano!

I love this stuff. I had a thin toque made from it that was warmer than things 4 times heavier
Seriously. My partner and I stayed at an off grid homestead, camping, last summer.
They raised cashmere goats, and sheared and spun into yarn. We got one skein to help support the owners: $100
Did you end up making anything with it?
