I mean if I were enabling the fascism train to keep barreling full steam ahead like Senator Roger Marshall is doing, I guess I might want to hide too.

How many of us could just leave our work voicemails full and make it almost impossible to contact us? Apparently my senator Roger “Doc” Marshall doesn’t feel compelled to hear from his constituency!

The top 4 patterns are all versions of red protest hats to knit or crochet

This pattern is available for $5.00 USD In the 1940's, Norwegians made and wore red pointed hats with a tassel as a form of visual protest against Nazi occupation of their country. Within two years, the Nazis made these protest hats illegal and punishable by law to wear, make, or distribute. As purveyors of traditional craft, we felt it appropriate to revisit this design. All proceeds from the sale of this pattern go to the immigrant aid agencies who will distribute the funds to those impacted by the actions of ICE. Approximately 200 yards of RED yarn of your choice in fingering, DK, or Worsted weight.

I went on ravelry earlier to look for a pattern to make for a gift for my neighbor and here are the top trending patterns. The crafters are activated and we’re angry

I’ve already started knitting 😆

A black cat is curled up sleeping directly against the front wheel of a mobility scooter

I broke my ankle and have a little knee scooter to help get around the house and the dumdum cat follows it around and it’s like she *wants* to get run over

in the pit

This entire weekend

I’m glad that in the Olden Days I learned to drive a manual transmission car with a road atlas in the glove box if I got lost. I can’t imagine driving like these dumdums.

A collection of beginner pottery, basically slightly misshapen bowls

A small mug with two toned brown glaze

My “accidental plant pot”, the base got too thin and had a hole, so I turned it into a plant pot and made a matching saucer

I’ve been taking a beginning wheel throwing class at my local arts center and I’m so proud of my weird pottery and learning a new creative hobby has been so good for me and I’m taking the class again in the spring ❤️

A pumpkin basque cheesecake surrounded by parchment paper in a loaf pan

A pecan pie in a blue pie pan. Looks pretty excellent and the crust seems flaky if I do say so myself

The baking begins. Pumpkin basque cheesecake and pecan pie. The struggle to not taste a slice is real

Apple cider caramels cut into small squares, ready to be wrapped

If you need a little something sweet to take to any thanksgiving / Friendsgiving meals this week I cannot stress enough how delicious and relatively easy these are. Wrapping them individually is a little tedious but otherwise they stick together.

Sign at the entrance to picket wire canyon, text reads: “Hiking into the canyon is OPTIONAL. Hiking out of the canyon is MANDATORY. IF SELF RESCUE IS YOUR ONLY OPTION: If you encounter heat related troubles (headache, leg cramps, nausea, vomiting etc.) return to the river and with clothes on completely immerse yourself). Rest in the shade, hydrate with river water, eat, and wait until carly evening to exit. This may save your life.”

As the sign said, hiking into the canyon is optional, hiking out is not 😆

Gold for Garcia!

How I feel right now 😆

We’re in inning 15 but we keep watching because one swing can end it but it never does, we’re trapped here forever maybe send snacks 😆😆

A light golden retriever lays on the grass, refusing to walk any further

Looks like my Lily!

Cautious optimism

Th first two seasons are so good! They’re a comfort rewatch for me. Third season is disappointingly meh, but still worth a watch.

My 70 year old mom is a retired nurse who spent her career working nights in a large hospital. She loves this show because it’s one of the only medical shows on TV that accurately portrays just how important nurses are and what a big job they have ❤️

I recently started a beginning pottery class at my local arts center and it’s been great; for a couple hours I just focus on clay. And you can’t look at your phone because clay hands :)

Oooh this looks so useful, just downloaded!

I have a crock pot that is older than I am (from the 1970s) and it works GREAT and I use it at least once a week.

@mollyknight.bsky.social position player pitching alert! White Sox catcher is pitching the 8th inning 😆

A light colored golden retriever in a blue harness is laying on the sidewalk smiling as she refuses to walk any further

A cream colored golden retriever stares out a large open window, ready to bark and any and all passersby

The same dog laying by the open window is looking at the camera, mildly annoyed at the interruption for photos

When it finally cools off and the Woofing Window is opened for the first time in months 🤍

I don’t think I’ve actually ever seen this movie 🤣 your commentary was very entertaining

A map of the Kansas congressional districts showing how they gerrymandered district 1 to the max

With all the talk of Texas gerrymandering, look at what they did with Kansas. I live in the easternmost green part of this map, they purposefully lumped my blue city with all of western Kansas. My rep lives 6 hours away and will NEVER come here, or care

A map of the Kansas congressional districts showing how they gerrymandered district 1 to the max

Yes! Kansas is good at it too. See how the green district goes way east and dips down to include Lawrence? We’re a very blue city that’s lumped in with western Kansas to nullify our vote. My rep lives 6 hours away!
