Because I typically walk around wearing only one shoe 🙄

Office orders stores to stop one-shoe try-on amid shoplifting rise Shoppers at Office have claimed they have only been allowed to try on one shoe at a time, as shoplifting rises throughout the UK.

I asked to try a pair of boots in Office in Liffey Valley yesterday. He went and got my size and kept one behind the till, offering me only one shoe to try on. I bought my boots in Clarke's instead where they don't treat you like a criminal. www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2023/06... #shopping #shoes

I came here to find reactions to it. So disappointing, I was really hoping that it would be good and that it would include the whole trilogy. I know the 2002 version took liberties too but it was streets ahead of this.

The link to the statement no longer works - presumably it has been removed. But it can be found on the Way Back Machine.

Facebook post reading: The EAA is the largest membership organisation of archaeology in Europe. We are concerned with the effects of the current Israel/Gaza crisis on heritage, our colleagues in the region and the loss of human life. The Executive Board has formulated a statement that is now available on our website https://buff.ly/4ccC1XQ. It urges that all acts of war and violence cease immediately. Prompted by the impetus of our Irish Members, this statement resulted from a considered period of reflection, internal discussion and democratic process. The Executive Board is grateful to the Heritage Advisory Committee, wider EAA colleagues and staff for their advice and input.

Disappointed with the events of #EAA 2025. How has it come to pass that opposing genocide is a radical act? A reminder that 18 months ago the EAA issued this statement following an open letter from Irish archaeologists. www.facebook.com/share/p/1FDb...

What's most depressing to me is how young they look, because I remember Pippa being a middle-aged woman...

Are crafting posts a thing here. The ability to follow hashtags and groups on Mastodon makes for great crafting communities. Anyway here's a Christmas stocking I made for my 11-month-old. Fair Isle in the round with double pointed needles. The tension was very tricky to get right in the round 😬

That's good to hear. It's nice to see a feed that's not full of algorithm garbage, ads and downright toxicity like the other platforms.

Yeah the setup is a bit convoluted, but once that's done it's very easy to use. And the feed is so pure with no ads or algorithm. It's very neurodiverse friendly which might interest you if you ever wanted to try again.

Well I was hoping more people would eventually move to Mastodon but after the latest exodus from the other place it seems like this is the place to be for now.
