The Sock Yarn blanket, designed by Shelly Kang and knitted on size 1 needles by Misplacedpom.

In awe. I would start this project and it would languish, unfinished for years. I’m so impressed by tenacious knitters!

Baby Turtles Vs. Strawberries by Jamie Hanson

Squirtle and Myrtle are two baby side-necked turtles living on a strawberry farm in Southeast Queensland, Australia, which is obviously the BEST possible place for baby turtles to live!

Father hacks Donkey Kong ROM for daughter to save Mario as Pauline

Comes at a cool time in light of Feminist Frequency’s latest video about the damsel in distress trope in video games.

From the YouTube description: 

My three year old daughter and I play a lot of old games together. Her favorite is Donkey Kong. Two days ago, she asked me if she could play as the girl and save Mario. She’s played as Princess Toadstool in Super Mario Bros. 2 and naturally just assumed she could do the same in Donkey Kong. I told her we couldn’t in that particular Mario game, she seemed really bummed out by that. So what else am I supposed to do? Now I’m up at midnight hacking the ROM, replacing Mario with Pauline. I’m using the 2010 NES Donkey Kong ROM. I’ve redrawn Mario’s frames and I swapped the palettes in the ROM. I replaced the M at the top with a P for Pauline. Thanks to Kevin Wilson for giving me the lead on the tools and advice.
