JK Rowling is a terrible person who deserves the same respect she gives to trans women (who are most assuredly women) and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

I'm surprised it took this long.

I'm baking my second Angel Food Cake in less than 24 hours because my family gobbled up the first one in less than 12 hours.

Thanks! It worked out reasonably well

The thin waxing crescent moon floating below brilliant Venus and above the much dimmer Mercury on a steely blue sky fading to a light peach color near the horizon. An evergreen treetop and clouds are at the bottom of the picture.

I took my grandmother's wedding dress (1939) and a woven coverlet (pre-Civil War) I scored for $40 on FB marketplace. I now know how to properly clean them (v. gentle vacuuming) & store them both. I'm really grateful the library had this program, otherwise I might've tried washing both (a bad idea).

I spent the morning at Thomas Balch Library learning about "Caring for Textile Heirlooms at Home" presented by two local conservators. The first part was a lecture & then they gave advice on some beautiful textiles the audience brought in. #textileCare #fiberArtist

Full stop.

It's not owned by a billionaire but could be sold to one, which is why I prefer my Mastodon instance. Bluesky is but one server in the Fediverse; Mstodon has many and they are independently run (except for Threads). Many Masto servers won't federate with Bsky or Threads bc neither is independent.

FWIW, it looks really pretty! (... but yeah: functionality is key)

On sale! I guess skin care for murderers is a bit niche

If efficiency in weaving was the point, you'd have the latest in loom technology, no? For me it's about staying connected to non-automated skills & processes. Also, I have loom envy! I have 2 table looms now but started by making my own backstrap loom, which I'm glad I did.

I'm up again at 3:30 when I should still be sleeping. I should've/could've taken sleep meds but then instead of needing a nap bc I was up at 3:30, I'd need a nap bc I'd feel groggy. Perimenopause: it sucks. Men have no fucking idea.

My blue-framed glasses in an oblong brown crocheted glasses holder. The bear has ears and beady little eyes but she's missing her snout and nose. It's sitting on top of a printed copy of the pattern which is sitting on a teal blanket with a ball of white yarn.

I just need a snout for this bear eyeglass holder! It's a free pattern on Ravelry that I almost reverse engineered before thinking, "Maybe it's on Ravelry." Warning: the site design has given some folks problems & the owners & designer blew off the concerns & complaints. I try not to use the site.

Oh, you voted Republican because you wanted to save babies? USAID saves babies, you absolute fuckwit. Our health care agencies save babies. Birth control and comprehensive sex ed and social programs that serve mothers and children save babies. You made the baby-killingest vote you possibly could.

The breeder: "If you want her ears to stand up, feed her pig ears, if you want ___ for [body part] feed her [body part]. The breeders were in WV and I managed to pick the runt (she has hip dysplasia), so YMMV.

Thank you! She's a mush, unless you're not following the rules then grrrrrrr.

When she was little, her ears were floppy and the breeder told us to feed he her pig ears to get them to stand up properly - it worked!

A Belgian Malinois (they look like German Shepherds with long necks and leaner bodies). Her face an neck are mostly black except her chin/muzzle , which at almost 3 is already turning white.

She's pretty upset by these Felon-in-chief shenanigans also. My constant companion and lead barker, though she does enjoy nibbling humans also. #dogs

Trump administration evicts former Coast Guard leader from her house with 3 hours notice Trump fired Linda Fagan, the first female Coast Guard commandant, on his second day in office. A Trump official told her she had three hours to leave her house on Tuesday.

3 hours to leave her house. This is how they treat a 4-star Admiral and Commandant of the Coast Guard.
