Squeak

I was a little disappointed in how quickly I got called in for my appt this afternoon 'cause I didn't even get through a full page. 😆 I did get through a few pages between finishing vitals and the dr entering the room though.

MARGE: “Apparently I have to go into a SCIF to find out the Republican health care plan!”

A pale hand with chipped blue nail polish holds a sticker with the image of a peach and the text "I'm a Georgia voter" in the center and "I secured my vote" under the peach.

Civic duty: complete

Bonus: talked EVs with a guy who's been driving them for over a decade.

Dark blueish tea in a handmade cup, the lip of which is a white with dark speckles. The cup is sitting on a light-color, dark speckled counter.

A cup that is light blue at the bottom, a medium blue band in the middle, and a mostly white band at the top sits on a light-color with dark speckles kitchen counter. The tea in the cup is a darkish blue.

Blue tea in a blue cup. At the rate I'm going, I'm going to need another bag of pea flower tea in a couple weeks, especially since the weather's forecasted to get dreary. #Tea #Pottery

It’s day 21 of the shut down and we are all feeling it.

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

Let me be clear: this will impact ALL of us. It’s bigger than just Medicaid & Medicare. We will all pay the price.

Knit square with a pink cat and border and a great background that goes from dark at the bottom to lighter at the top.

Knit square with a pink background and grey cat and border. The grey gradually gets lighter from bottom to top.

TFW you see that you've had yarn in your stash for over a decade. Little sad to see the gray go, but it's been discontinued for years so I doubt I'd find more easily. #Knitting #NiftyKnitterDesigns #DoubleKnit

Eastern box turtle looking way cooler than an entitled white lady who couldn't bothered to put her dog on a leash in a park where they're required. It has orange eyes and a light brown pattern on a dark brown shell.

Got called "ignorant" & "fat lady" on a trail today bc she was mad I told her her dog should be on a leash, bc you know, rules. She had a leash for it w/her, so she prob. knew & was just being an EWL.

It's gotta be tough being such a bitch.

My socks, and the turtle I found were cooler than her.

One day I'll figure out what I want to do next, craft-wise. I've got cross stitch projects to finish, and miles of yarn waiting for me to knit into...stuff...but I'm having a hard time deciding what to actually work on. :(

Managed to close the end of one of my braids in a jar today. Might be time for a haircut. #LongHairProblems

I mean, you could cancel Paramount and support @pbs.org instead.

A bright blue Ford Mustang Mach-E EV backed into a parking spot marked 'EV'.

Always nice to find the EV spot free of rando ICE vehicles in this parking deck...me we didn't have to deal with hot stairwells or dodging cars that couldn't turn a corner responsibly. #MustangTheCarNotTheHorse #EV

Social media post from Alex Giampapa on 1/6/20. It says: America just needs a mom to be like, "A new war? You got new war money? You never even finished the last two. We have plenty of war at home."

A hunter with two pet birds that are taller than her look at a teal hole where a delve entrance should be.

A hunter falling from a great height after walking through the missing delve entrance. Disconnection and death are imminent.

A dead hunter floats in a large body of water with a message to summon her pets, but since she's dead and has no option to release, can't summon anything.

Made it through five delves on my hunter, then tried to do another..delve's missing, walked through the entrance, fell through the ground, disconnected, logged back in, and now I'm dead and can't release. Guess that's enough WoW for tonight!

A screenshot from World of Warcraft of a translucent green manta ray with warlock skills under it flying in a grey nothingness with a white circle with sparkles sits in the middle. A minimap and quest log are on the right side, along with two bars with various buttons on them.

Broke WoW on my warlock...went through the tunnel to Ringing Deeps, came out to non-loading surroundings, the zone text changed from Ringing Deeps to Dornogal, then disconnected. Now I get disconnected when I log in on her, but my others load fine. :( I just wanted to do delves! #WorldOfWarcraft

Full-length photo of a double-knit scarf with a fluorescent yellow squid with some small sections of orange-ish red on a dark, but bright purple background. The carpet is a unimpressive beige. Dog stairs, toys, and a cat's upright cardboard scratcher are in the background.

First time laying it out and getting a good look at it since binding off almost two months ago! Super happy with how well the yarns contrast each other. Would I knit another one? Probably! 🧶 #ShowMeYourKnits #Knitting

Crack in the sole of a shoe with five individual spaces for toes.

My crack is getting bigger. :(

‘Extremely disturbing and unethical’: new rules allow VA doctors to refuse to treat Democrats, unmarried veterans Trump order allows VA staff to decline providing healthcare to patients based on political affiliation or marital status

What do marriage and political views have to do with healthcare? Absolutely nothing.

But Trump’s new VA rules let doctors turn veterans away just for being unmarried or a Democrat.

Food waste is bad, but adding a bunch of plastic waste to landfills is worse, IMO. I don't /have/ to order groceries online - I have several grocery stores within a reasonable distance.

In the space where I can report an issue with my delivery I've basically talked myself into unsubbing, 'cause it's not like I can verify they actually do any sort of recycling, & I can't trust them if they come back and tell me they recycle b/c they just want my money.

Made an attempt to get the Misfits Market driver to pick up my silver insulated bags so they can supposedly be recycled, but they got left behind. At this point I question whether they do anything more than toss the bags in the trash, 'cause that's exactly what they did the 1st time I tried it.

A messy pile of purple and gray yarn on a table.

The band of a hat in alternating columns of purple and gray yarns, unaware of its imminent demise.

Had to do some frogging in public before I can knit. 😭

A knit mosaic cowl called Cheating at Checkers by Susan Ashcroft made up of boxes of slightly variegated green and brown dk-weight yarns, both from Unplanned Peacock.

It's staying pretty consistently in the 80's right now, so of course it's the best time for cold weather knits, right? It also leaves me with nothing on the needles for Knit in Public Day, which sucks. Of course, it's supposed to rain tomorrow so who knows if I'll even go out. 🧶 #KnitSky #FOFriday
