Script for calls:
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP].
I’m calling for two reasons. First, to urge [REP/SEN NAME] to demand the Trump administration end its pause on military aid to Ukraine. That money was allocated by Congress, so this move is unacceptable and illegal. 1/?

Upped the difficulty level on selfies with dog(s) but I have no regrets. Big Z, Little Z, what begins with Z?

I love ART! 😍

I love this so much!!! I don’t dye yarn, but I’ve always thought murderbot themed yarns would be fun. (I would definitely name one “F*ck’s sake, Ratthi”) 😂

Can’t wait to see what else you come up with!!!

She obviously accepts this honor!

She is the sweetest baby!!

A fluffy blonde and white puppy with a black nose wearing a graduation cap. She looks nervous but she only learned “camera” on the last day of class, so that’s to be expected.

The best good girl graduated from puppy kindergarten last night, please enjoy this photo of her wearing her graduation cap.

On the SF side, Lisa Henry and Jordan Castillo Price both have some great stuff. And if you include Paranormal, Jordan L Hawk’s entire oeuvre is a lot of fun.

Anything by Ginn Hale. My favorite is The Rifter (10 book serial), but the Cadeleonian series is great too!

I’ve knit a few of them at 3.25mm and I think one at 3.5. Because it’s folded double, I like more drape in the fabric.

Because schools teach that being a heinous fucking demon is a good thing. Then they sell t-shirts with hashtag be kind because there is no reckoning with the cognitive dissonance in K12 education.

Cozy classic light!

I know you can do it! 💖 Fingering weight tops (especially for us busty girls) are a bit of a commitment, but tees are perfect because no sleeves!!

Come on, Sasha, you can do it!!

I lived there long enough to absorb “if it ain’t pulled pork, it ain’t barbecue” which really makes the debate simple (carolina, mustard not vinegar)

I actually like Texas brisket better, but it ain’t barbecue. 😂

In the Carolinas, chicken is not barbecue.

Seems like a good time to mention again that I wrote a book about loneliness and madness and desperate yearning for human connection, and buying it or asking your library to get it—and telling others about it—really gd helps me out bookshop.org/p/books/your...

Some silliness for your timeline. 🩷

Okay, so these are a smaller sequin but I think might work held together with a light fingering yarn?

What’s the pattern name?

I don’t either! 😂

Yes. And when they start to explain their awful joke, just raise an eyebrow. Slowly. So it reaches peak arch right as their explanation sputters out.

I might need one too. KAL?

This is AMAZING

This.

To me the item of concern with rejected deportation flights isn’t the tariffs (although they are bad), it’s what happens when you try to remove a population from a country and there’s nowhere for them to go. This is all about to get so much worse.

Caveat: each knitter’s tension is unique, blah blah, knit with whatever gives you the gauge and drape you want for your FO, etc…

Aran to bulky. I get worsted from fingering + lace and frequently use DK instead of worsted and vice versa

You’re welcome!
