HEY BEAR

Honestly I'm sad no other doors need a stop now!

After 7 months of using a literal piece of trash (cardboard) to hold the door open, I decided to sew a doorstop!

When your dear friend has a leg amputation, what do you do but knit them a single sock? It was fun to find a pattern with right and left socks (Vaidava Memories by Zanete Hussain), and to use a remnant skein of Koigu. 🧶

Every year I grouse that if it's going to be cold and winter, there ought to be snow on the ground, and this month I got my wish! Because of the snow and ice, @jasonkrieger.bsky.social were home for most of the month. I cross-stitched a lot and (not pictured) played Stardew.

Took me 6 today!

Donating a cross-stitch to the free art library! There's always room for Jell-O.

Went out to the Shawangunk Grasslands with @mintyfreshflavor.bsky.social today to see if we could see the Short Eared Owl. Lucked out! First photo (of 300+), off to a good start but a lot to comb through now.

Went to see the Short Eared Owl cuties today! My photos through binoculars will pale compared with @jasonkrieger.bsky.social's. 🪶

I constantly want to quit but also cannot bear to lose my streak. Damn you @duolingoverde.bsky.social

Woke up to everything coated in ice. With @jasonkrieger.bsky.social

Thank you!

Thanks!!

I designed and made myself a pair of knitted legwarmers and have been wearing them sooo much since--not just on snowy hikes but also in the house, because I'm just always cold. 🧶 www.ravelry.com/projects/min...

E-A-G-L-E-S!!!!!!!

The sledding was *fast* today. @jasonkrieger.bsky.social

Snow Day with @mintyfreshflavor.bsky.social after testing out the snow blower.

Remember when they wouldn’t shut up about Hillary’s email server?

How is this not a bajillion times worse?

Commencing a ninth year of #1secondeveryday this month! @1secondeveryday.bsky.social

No more Facebook means far fewer birthday messages, so if you know him, please wish this handsome devil @jasonkrieger.bsky.social a happy happy birthday today!! ❤️❤️❤️

Lovely day at Mohonk Mountain house with @mintyfreshflavor.bsky.social for a hike and massage. We were supposed to go for our anniversary last month but got sick and rescheduled.

Happy 🐍 New Year from me, a snake, and my 🐍 Staub dutch oven!

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.

the depressing thing about what's happening and to come is how fucking unnecessary all of it was. no war forced us into this, no massive recession. bunch of bored morons pushed the "break everything" button because of the man on the tv and the people on their phone told them, and people will die.

Democrats need something akin to the Declaration of Independence: a list of the offenses Trump has committed against the Constitution and a declaration that they are a crisis of American government, signed and pushed out by virtually every elected member of the party. "We are in an emergency."

An afternoon of theater and good times with @neitherhipnorfunky.bsky.social & @spectacled.bsky.social !

Target becomes latest company to roll back DEI programs One of the country’s largest retailers said it will end the diversity, equity and inclusion goals it sets in three-year cycles and curtail racial equity initiatives.

Target’s cutting their DEI program, but just wait—they’ll be waving that Pride flag in June like clockwork. Why? The merch is already ordered, and the profits are too good to pass up. Performative allyship, aisle 3.

Making a batch of @nytimes.com Cooking's Coconut Curry Sweet Potato Soup today, to eat tomorrow.
