Wandering Adventure Party

My son is looking to get into sewing machine repair as a business. There's demand for it up here. But search engines in 2025 are shite.Does anyone know any good resources? Things like old manuals, online communities, forums, wikis, YouTube channels.For example, he's got a 1928 Singer that's binding. He seems to have good instincts about what's wrong with it, but he's been unable to find a manual. He's got several others he's tinkering with, and wants understand them and become the go-to person in this area with all the knows.I've directed him to archive.org but I suspect it might not be organized on this topic and it won't offer much community.Any resources would be appreciated![Tagging him: @bamboy ]#AskFedi #Solarpunk #RightToRepair #sewing #RepairCafe

Okay, the way these characters are interacting and the conspiracies that are popping up. It's really getting into a "what's happening next" spiral and I am in for it(comment on The Two Lies of Faven Sythe)

This one is really good so far. Amandine and Faven are both clever banterers and Im looking forward to how they play off each other. #TheTwoLiesOfFavenSythe #NetGalley #Bookstodon(comment on The Two Lies of Faven Sythe)

Current mood.

Magic can bring you what you want but at what cost? Joanna and Esther's father is killed while investigating a mysterious spellbook in his collection. Esther and Joanna are stuck trying to carry out their father's plans when their lives collide with Nicholas, a magical scribe who creates books like those their father collected. But should those plans really be followed or should plans change as they try to help Nicholas escape his own family plans? Tórzs tells a tale of family secrets and the cost of power. The thriller pace keeps you guessing at what comes next. The language is masterful, evocative without getting purple. I'm really looking forward to what Tórzs writes next.

"So mostly, as now, she settled for a pair of shorts, and those mostly for the pockets." Okay, maybe Anderson does get what a lot of women want.(comment on Ensign Flandry, p. 155)

RPG tip from the archive: Explore other RPGs. Read them even if you don't play them.#dnd #ttrpg

@OctaviaConAmore Yeah, while at first the silly placeholders made me laugh, the inconsistency means filters need 80 thousand variations to block it all, while being overly inclusive of the fuzzy red Muppet when you just dont want to hear any more about the billionaire fascist.It's not like this is X or TikTok where you gotta try and get around *official* filters. Just respect people's choices about what they have the bandwidth to engage with.

An underwater alien whose name translates as "Zoomboy" For all that language shifts and culture changes, some things are eternal.(comment on Ensign Flandry, p. 74)

And there it is, the 1960s "but they're different, we can't treat them equally" from the boss. Now to see whether the starry eyed neophyte wins out in getting the empire to be less awful.(comment on Ensign Flandry, p. 48)
