Argh!

“That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction.” - Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale

Please call your representatives in the House and the Senate. Tell them to *represent* your values, and tell them what values to represent. Pick one a day; call every day.

Do not go gentle into that goodnight.
Rage rage against the dying of the light. -Dylan Thomas

Blessings on you. May you find gainful employment soon.

I just can’t “heart” this.
I’m devastated.

Happy Imbolc, St Brigid’s Day, and Groundhog Day.

Light a candle, meditate on a fire (or flame), and embrace the quiet reflection as we begin to prepare for spring. Now is the time for hope and planning.

Take time now for reflection, renewal, and planning. Action comes next, not now. 3/3

Lunar New Year started January 29 - we welcomed the year of the Wood Snake, a time of deep cultural significance. I feel we will not let that be taken from us. Whether it be Black History Month, or Women’s History Month, or Juneteenth, or whatever our community of culture means to us. 2/3

Today, Feb 1, is generally my favorite day of the year - when we Northern Hemisphere folks really start to notice the lengthening days. The literal darkest time of the year is over.

Don’t worry, I followed you, but worried you’ll get lost in the noise of everything else on my “following” feed.

Knitting needles with black yarn and neon pink for contrast.

Pray for me… I decided to knit a project with black yarn. At least I have neons for contrast. I’ve only frogged twice today. I am hoping I’m off to the races now.

I’ve skipped knit rows too. It just feels like it’s time to move to the next project already. Lol

That’s awesome. So glad I have already had it and now have antibodies.

I totally should have done a thigh January. It might have helped combat “why, January.”

Hahahahaha

Or so one would think…

I just put the hashtag and “knitting” in the “curate your feeds” section. And now it’s something I see.

Gorgeous!

This.

@fionacohen.bsky.social you can curate a “knitting” feed. I have. It’s the best.

@littlecascadian.bsky.social Happy Birthday!

I am so happy for him. He deserves all the accolades. He was such a hard working athlete - never once did he give less than his all.

Knitting pattern sticky notes with colors and chart notes.

I’m a digital girl - and yes, knitting companion is free. But I’ve also used excel from time to time. It is just more work.
If you are an analog person, I highly recommend these stickies - and attaching them to your printed pattern, moving down as you go.

Oh. I am a bobbin girl. I hope your way works well!

We post!

Ok, that’s supposed to be in the same tone/enthusiasm as “We Ride!” But it just doesn’t do it without explanation. Looking forward to seeing your art!

Just text saying, “was disappointed to see they are moving the inauguration inside. So much for my hopes for a William Henry Harrison repeat.”

I love this on so many levels.

This funding is so important to all of us as we age. It supports programs for caregivers, meals on wheels, transportation, activity and falls prevention, protections on information, social engagement, and so much more. These are essential services. Please act.

It was so amazing to hear from a former coworker about a major life event via text this morning. I love when relationships continue beyond the term of the circumstance that created the reason for the relationship.
