I've not tried Tunisian crochet, but I've seen some videos. I'm looking forward to seeing your project!

everything is terrible so here’s the swedish chef doing rapper’s delight

I had no idea how much I needed a revival of The Muppet Show. Just as delightful as ever. I hope the series gets picked up.

LOL!

I have readers on my sunglasses now and will never go back.

Of different strengths for various needs? I'm gonna ask you to get out of my house. 😄

There is no such thing as too many reading glasses.

It's a perfect fit

Thankfully I was able to stop myself just as I reached out to embiggen the photo on the paper restaurant menu - but only just.

That's really coming together nicely - love it

At this point if I was abducted by aliens 👽🛸I would consider it a rescue mission.

I wrote all of mine again today. I do this despite it being as useful as yelling at a brick wall (all three of them are deep red).

I hope I can be as bad ass as Granny Weatherwax some day.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I went outside to look at the sleet/ice and the neighbor kids were sledding down their driveway. They let me take a turn then asked me to stay and play with them. 🥰

There's a MAGA house at the end of my street. Recently they put a bright red bulb in the light that shines on their driveway. Every time I walk by I just want to loudly sing "ROOOOXanne!".

When I was in high school I did a constitutional debate program and witnessed this exchange:

JUDGE: what’s your favorite amendment?

KID: the third

JUDGE: why the third?

KID: because if there’s soldiers in your house, the other ones really don’t matter

BORN READY FOR 2026

A squirrel is balanced on top of a pole. The pole holds a bird feeder and is shaped like a hook at the top but the viewer can't see that from this angle. The squirrel's back feet grip the top of the hook. It is eating a seed held in its hands. Its tail hangs straight down.

Today is #SquirrelAppreciationDay. Please enjoy this ridiculous one from my backyard.

I've decided to cheer for the Rams, which is not good news for the Rams as every other team I've decided to cheer for so far in these playoffs has been eliminated. #nfl

Part of the way social media makes people crazy is notifying them of every single damn thing. Turn it all off. Look at the site when you want to. Never, ever allow it to make your phone make noise. Nothing that important is going to happen here.

Three crocheted fingerless gloves, one on a hand. One glove is variegated fall colors, one is variegated blue and the third is Barbie pink.

To keep from doom-scrolling and to attempt to help relieve some stress in this cursed timeline, I've been crocheting. I'm probably going to have to leave these on my friend's porches in the dark of night to give them all away. #crochet

And I didn't even notice until you pointed it out. My brain autocorrected the autocorrect.

A rubber duck in the image of Rosie the Riveter from the We Can Do It poster during WWII.

This lovely lady is from the gift shop of the WWII museum in New Orleans.

A rubber ducky with short white hair. It's wearing a red jacket with a white ascot. It's supposed to look like Mozart.

Another "exit through the gift shop duck", this time from London.

A rubber ducky with short white hair. It's wearing a red jacket with a white ascot. It's supposed to look like Mozart.

This one is from Vienna - it's Mozart!

A black rubber ducky with a rugby ball painted on the side like it's holding it. He's got a white shirt collar and the fern logo with the words All Blacks on the chest

This is my All Blacks duck.

A rubber ducky as an Egyptian pharaoh - it's wearing the traditional headdress and has a blue false beard

I got this one after visiting an Egyptian exhibit at a local museum and exiting the gift shop.

A rubber ducky made into a Christmas tree. It's duck shaped, but green with dark red garland and yellow balls decorating it. There is a gold star on its head and a red present wrapped with yellow ribbon and a yellow bow to its side.

The keen-eyed may have noticed I always use a rubber ducky as my avatar. This tradition dates back to when I first joined the bird site many years ago and wanted something fun. I had one (one!) rubber ducky in my house. That is no longer the case. Here are some of my favorites.

How could I refuse?

Truly it is. I should post photos of all my favorite ducks today.
