Retired - with occasional stints as Auntie Bear. Loves, in no particular order, reading, knitting, spinning, cooking, needlepoint, embroidery, and ill wishing the patriarchy. Caregiver and general pain.

Of course, I woke up and my bus pass is missing. It will turn up, but I had to get a new one and put a stop on the old. Still, on the good side, the needlework store had the correct thread so that I can finish the last 1/8 of the travelling piece I am working. Good day on the whole.

I love the dress, but I keep seeing Mia Farrow in it.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats β€œfleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

Those "sleeves" need to go. I could see this gown with the Penny Mordaunt style cape, but in the lighter color.

More than a dozen slavery displays in Philly, including at Washington’s former home, have been flagged for a Trump admin review Six displays at the President's House Site, which illustrates the paradox between freedom in the new nation and the ongoing horrors of slavery, were among those flagged for review.

Philadelphia needs welders. A Trump administration proposal would eliminate the agency helping to train them. Federal cuts to economic development programs could hinder the region's workforce.

I have finished pruning my hydrangeas. 2 1/2 hours of pruning but it's neither hot nor humid so there I went. Took them down by at least 1/3 so we will see how that goes.

That CEO went to the Coldplay concert unaware it would mark his downfall. One impulsive, selfish actβ€”driven by emotionβ€”made him viral. His life is now in shambles, and in the process, he deeply hurt people he surely loves. A harsh reminder that unchecked actions have lasting consequences

That is actually uglier than the stuff that is being built in my neighborhood. It's like every bad idea that HGTV has ever had, all in one ugly pile.

You bet your ass I would. And I'd want to know about it, not have it buried. Mainly, because I'm not in a psychopathic cult.

I would like to be tall enough, have the money, and have an event to wear that for-it is lovely!

If you have very good speakers, large quantities of Enya or Verdi at a high volume can make people go away. The Sicilian Vespers is particularly effective. Nice colors of floss-may we see the WIP?

Just so we are clear, this week Nazis marched in multiple towns across America, a concentration camp had its grand opening and the President did a half ass sieg heil salute on the 4th of July.

Yes please. I look up the songs-it's the only reason I know any music from the last 25 years.
