From Wikipedia:

The English word artichoke was borrowed in the sixteenth century from the northern Italian word articiocco (the standard modern Italian being carciofo). The Italian term was itself borrowed either from Spanish alcarchofa (today usually alcachofa) or directly from the source of the Spanish word—medieval Andalusi Arabic الخرشوفة (al-kharshūfa, including the Arabic definite article al). The Arabic form kharshūfa is still used in Maghrebi Arabic today, while other variants in Arabic include kharshafa, and Modern Standard Arabic khurshūfa. These Arabic forms themselves derive from classical Arabic حرشفة (harshafa) singular word of the plural حراشف (ḥarashef) meaning "scale". Other languages which derive their word for the artichoke from Arabic include Israeli Hebrew, which has the word חֻרְשָׁף (khursháf). The original Hebrew name (see Hebrew: he:ארטישוק) is קינרס kinars, which is found in the Mishna.

The ongoing destruction of democracy and rise of a new Nazi dictatorship/theocracy seems like it kind of encapsulates all the recent news stories lately

They should have followed the King of the Hill model

This was my mom when we got all the way to the checkout line before I realized we didn't go down the candy aisle

Probably team up with Canada and Mexico to fight against the new Nazi regime

Of course that's what he said! He doesn't care if the whole country burns to the ground as long as he gets to be in charge of the ashes

This seems like the religious right trying to force the governments hand on education more than anything else.

If it's decided that the religious aspect of a church doing supposedly secular work is superfluous and thus covered by government services like unemployment, then they think that opens the door for them to get government funding for their shitty religious charter schools that treat their bible like it's a science textbook

It seems they're willing to start paying unemployment tax if it means they can can start getting handouts to open their cult member training centers... er, uh, I mean "schools"

What would the Avengers do about what exactly?

Whoa whoa whoa... You mean to tell me that Steve Huffman was more than happy to honor the whims of a crybaby aspiring Nazi dictator? Whoever would have guessed??? 🤯

 

I'm almost done with the first panel! This thing is turning out a lot bigger than I realized it would be lol

 

Dracula's Castle will eventually be done one of these days lol

 

I know I've posted this pattern here before but it seemed like a good quick pattern to try out the glow in the dark floss.

The verdict: this is much easier to deal with than my arch nemesis metallic floss. It does have some downsides in that the ends split pretty easily, and whatever it's made out of is kinda plasticy and doesn't really glide very well.

It wasn't terrible to work with at all though and I'll probably use it for parts of other patterns, but I wouldn't want to make anything big just with this

 
 
 
 
 
 

Dracula's castle is coming along nicely!

 

My second attempt to make Dracula's Castle! I'm being much more careful this time lol
