Glove sizing is a mess, what fits my palms never fits my fingers and there's no constancy anyway. I can't help you there, is my point, I guess.

Ha, I do have an Avengers-appropriate T-shirt! Take that, self.

damn! He's a vegetarian, right?

That means I GET THEM ALL.

Gender Balance on Social Networking Sites

Did I miss it? Livejournal's not on the list, right? Sometimes I feel like LJ is invisible (and DW even moreso). For me it's the difference between fans and fandom. On IO9, for instance, the LJ-knowledgeable people are a pretty easily identifiable group, predominantly female fic-readers at the very least.

I wasn't expecting to finish up that picture I posted earlier--that was just me practicing doped up on dilaudid, but I do kinda like how it turned out, and Colin gave me a thumbs up, so I will put it up places.

Below the graphic:

...Livejournal, Tumblr, myYearbook, Catster, and other sites are not represented at all...

I suspect LJ and Tumblr would both skew heavily female. I don't know the other two.

Ugh you guys -- I went out to do errands and then was going to go for a walk, but the dry cleaner was closed! So I had to bring my stuff back here. And then I accidentally turned the TV on, and it's a Storage Wars marathon! I do have freelance work to do, so I guess I'll do that.

Film magic: student creates luminous dress from old slide film | DVICE

This shiny little black dress is a knockout on its own. But, for those of us who love wearable technology we get a little bit of a surprise when embedded LED backlights come on in the dress. As ambient light dims and the dress lights up we find it is woven out of old film slides so there are hundreds of little snapshots to enjoy.

Wow. If I went on a date with a woman wearing this dress and things started to get amorous, I'd be all, "No, don't take it off. I want to look at it some more."

Having LJ listed with two sites I've not heard of reinforces that invisible feeling.

But tumblr! Seriously? I thought that was out and about. I didn't notice it not being there.

I don't know if I'd say it's as female as English-speaking LJ land is, and my understanding is that Russian LJ doesn't skew as much.

Ginger, if you're buying disposable gloves, I'd say go with a large, and if they're the wrong size, then next time you can buy a medium or x-large. They're stretchy anyway, and it's unlikely they'll fall off. I buy disposable gloves because the times I've bought kitchen gloves that were supposed to last forever? They got sweaty and gross (and once, mildewy) inside in very short order. They're just impossible to clean inside, and it's difficult to hang them up so that even the inside of the fingers can dry. I could wear little cotton gloves inside them, I guess, but that's too much fuss for something that's supposed to make things easier.

I feel like everyone I know is constantly talking about tumblr, but maybe that mostly applies to people I know from the internet. But still, a pretty wide variety of people I know from the internet.
