Good dupes for Hobbii Cozy Cake.

As many of you know, Hobbii posted a very pro-genAI stance that a lot of us stand against. I had already ordered a ton from them before knowing this, some of which I unfortunately REALLY like working with. Before this, I had only experienced the limited yarn from Michaels and Walmart. I've never ordered from anybody else.

I'm specifically looking for a substitution for their line Cozy Cakes. It's an 80% acrylic 20% wool blend and delightful to work with. I'm making a cardigan from what I have, but would love something that feels like this for other cozy winter projects in the future.

I think my cat loves when I get sick and have to stay in bed all day. She gets to cuddle by me all she wants. 💕🥹

Sorry for the awkward angle, LOL. Was trying left handed with limited room.

I have an OG Xbox One and I don't think this is the normal black screen of death. HELP!

My Xbox is sluggish at times because it's nearly 12 years old. But it's the only means I have to play games or watch movies or anything. No smart TV or computer. When I tried to start it up this morning, it made the sounds like it was on the home screen, but only showed a gray screen. Pressing Home brought up a basic menu, but doesn't let me move the cursor and it took several minutes to open. A few minutes later, a couple more things loaded like the top row, but it still won't let me move. After waiting even longer, I heard a "shoop" like I was closing something and the menu is gone and it's back to solid gray, not even opening anything. Now it just turns darker when I press Home. I already unplugged it (turning it off with the power button didn't work), left it for a full minute and tried again and here we are. What is going on??

Can't log in or change password and I can't find help anywhere.

I'm just trying to track an order, but when I go to log in, it just gives me an error. I've tried both email and SMS codes (I don't know my password) and am receiving the codes fine. But when I put the codes in, it says "something went wrong, please try again" and no explanation. I've tried it to log in and to reset my password, but get the same error no matter what. What do I do? All their "help" answers just say "check your spam folders". I'm GETTING the codes. They just aren't working.

How do I get my anxious cat into a carrier and to a vet if she's scared to go outside and hates treats??

I don't know how to properly crosspost, but this was also posted in cathelp.

Hi guys! My cat is a rescue. I was told she was roughly 2-3 years old when I got her and that was 2020. The girl I took her from used to just throw her outside regularly and now she has severe anxiety around anyrhing that has to do with going out the front door. I can leave it wide open and she won't so much as get curious, she runs to the other end of the house. I successfully got her into a carrier one time when I first got her and took her to get fixed and get her shots, but I think this made her anxiety worse. I haven't been able to get her in a carrier since.

I noticed just now that she's squinting with one eye and it's red on the inner corner and know she's long overdue for a checkup anyway, but I have no idea how to even get her to the vet without traumatizing her.

The issue is I know the biggest suggestion would be getting her used to a carrier using treats, but she doesn't have a single type of treat she likes. I've tried every type of protein, every brand, no interest. She won't even eat wet food of any kind. She's just that picky. I've tried catnip, but that doesn't work either. How am I supposed to reward her if she has no interest in the rewards?

Other things I've tried:

-Harness and leash (she just gets scared to go near the front door and pulls until the leash gets ripped from my hand).

-Wrapping like a burrito (she doesn't like getting picked up anyway, but the moment she realizes I'm taking her outside, she panics and squirms free).

-Forcing her into the carrier with another person's help (she's strong and I felt like if I pushed any more, she was going to break her own legs, so I gave up).

What do I do??

Sorry. This might seem like an odd quotation, but they happened to be touring with other artists I like right now and I noticed a majority of their merch is the "save a kid, kill a pedophile" or "kill all pedophiles" slogans. I would love to be on board, but I've sadly heard from several people that those specific lines are transphobic dog whistles used in a "trans=groomer" context. I've never heard of them before and I'm not sure if it's safe to support them since I don't know if they're meaning it genuinely or if they're meaning it in this fucked up way. Anyone who knows, can I go to this show with a clean conscience?
