one time before I read consistently as a guy i was knitting on the E and this dude sat down next to me despite a lot of empty seats and started asking questions and I thought he was gonna be a creep but it turned out he was a weaver and really excited to get to talk about fiber arts
“!!!! a fellow sewer! yay!!!!!”
On the Paris metro: two guys moving an IKEA bookcase from one apartment to another 4 stops away. Also the musicians in the metro were top notch!
Awwww
That is so charming. Related: I'm getting more and more convinced that what POC and women and queer people and immigrants and trans people and disabled people really want is for us cis/het white men to... be cool. Just like, Be. Cool.
I first misread that as “knitting on E”.
it was really nice
I’m not part of it, but the fibre-arts community always seems really nice/cool.
