Thanks to a hilarious bug, I'm now more prolific than any writer in history

Elizabeth’s Bookshop & Writing Centre

This is where I bought my most recent read, from www.elizabethsofakronshop.com
(I searched for a black female-owner bookstore and picked this one)

Top left is the face of a very scrungly looking Garfield doll. The main photo is of the knitted edging of a crochet blanket, main color navy blue, with white crochet bobbles. A wooden knitting needle is on the left, with four stitches held on it. Stitches of white, light and dark orange can be seen on the left in the background behind Garfield.

I'm on the very last step of my Annie's Moroccan Tile Afghan but I refuse to do 600 sts of crab stitch πŸ˜† so an i cord edging it is! (cursed Garfield is helping)

And then, the horror movie shot, which she also posed for like a trained model πŸ˜†
She's insured her fangs for $1 million

A long hair green eyed black cat, staring at the camera, giving it her best Blue Steel. She's sitting behind a ribbed knitting project still on the wood straight needles, made of black yarn with rainbow flecks. The background is a yellow quilted blanket.

I got two great shots of my very large void cat on my somewhat large knitting project. First: the glamour shot, which she held the pose for like a trained model...

It's 153 ends. I counted.

This must be why Adelaide (Over The Garden Wall) wanted a child servant.

Instead, this is an actual photo of me trying to guilt my sister into weaving in all my ends for me (unfortunately she isn't possessed by an evil spirit and thus will not help).

The backside of an in-progress crochet blanket spread over a couch. It's the Annie's brand Moroccan Tiles pattern, which is lots of small detailed squares put together, with a big central square. The main color is dark blue, with yellow, orange, gold, salmon, cream, light blue, teal, pink, and red details. Lots of ends are visible on the smaller squares around the border.

Pro: I finally finished all the little squares and sewed them to the center one. Visible progress!

Con: soooo many ends to weave in

A quarter of the bones in your body are in your hands & that's why hands are hard to draw so cut yourself some slack about hands.

The Surprisingly Cool History of Ice Until two centuries ago, ice was just an unfortunate side effect of winter. But in the early 1800s, one man saw dollar signs in frozen ponds.

Some people really just spend a quarter of the monthly budget on a machine to turn water into ice so their body can turn it back into water.

Frederic Tudor is only safe from me because there's no more budget for a time machine.

Men, women don't care if you're tall, athletic or rich. All women want is for you to show up at their home on time with a lasagna & a raccoon wearing a tiny backpack full of snacks. Then you leave so they can share the lasagna with the raccoon. That's it. It's not rocket science.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid:

β€œDoing some research for an upcoming article on the last β€œmass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s.

Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the β€œundocumented.”

I dreamed I was at a church activity and there were so many desserts, but I was too polite and then they were all gone.

Remember today to be rude, eat cake, and be ungovernable

A square of Tunisian crochet: the stitches at the top of the square are on a bamboo crochet hook, while the other sides are slightly curled in. The square is yellow in the center, and then the main stitches are red. The background color goes from purple on the inside of the square to green on the outside. The square is lying on a white floral comforter.

I'm doing Toni Lipsey's Tunisian Snowy Sampler CAL, using up stash yarn. This is the in-progress first block with RHSS Bitty Stripe in Rainbow and Sunset Stripe. #tlyccal #tunisiancrochet

A left light skinned hand and arm wearing a smart watch with a black and rainbow band shows the scale of a crochet blanket, which is about 18 inches on the diagonal. The blanket includes pink, grey, blue, green, and a variegated rainbow yarn in various repeating stitch patterns coming out from the center.

This thing is getting bigger and bigger whenever I can stop being addicted to bitlife (aka disassociation the game)

I'm getting better at eating the most baby of medium spices, but then I spilled curry on my hand, and can confirm it's still too hot for me. #ouch

I had distressing dreams so I'm just sitting here listening to Good Luck Babe and making myself sadder because that feels satisfying for some reason
