The image is a screenshot of a post on X by the account Benjy Sarlin (@BenjySarlin ). The post includes an image of an opinion article headline from Michelle Cottle, dated July 18, 2023. The headline reads: "Is the Cure to Male Loneliness starting a group text to bomb the houthis?" Below the headline, there is an illustration by Benjamin Morsa (credited at the bottom left as "imgflip.com"). The illustration depicts a surreal scene: on the left side, a group of boys is playing a game on a field with a net, possibly tennis or volleyball, under a bright sky with rays of light and butterflies flying around. There are also flowers, including tulips, in the foreground. On the right side, there is a close-up of a boy with short hair, crying with tears streaming down his face, looking toward the scene on the field.

Getting out my blue yarn to prepare to join in the #SkyKAL, a make-along to help build community among fibre arts makers here on Bluesky. Deciding what to cast on!

I’m sure it’s intended to be inclusive of other fibre arts beyond knitting so perhaps we can shift the hashtag to #SkyMAL …

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app!

Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…
