Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down.

Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

So. Stinkin’. Cute!! 🥰

🤣 This lives in my head as I crochet on this blanket.

A peach colored speckled granny square in progress rests atop its soon-to-be neighbors in a colorful granny square blanket.

It’s been 84 years… or so it feels like it since I last posted and/or picked up a project… Glad spring is around the corner because the past 2+ weeks in our house have been rough germ-wise. 3/4 of us were out for some or all of that time. We all recovered. But democracy is still dying. Back to work!

Stunning! 😍😍

Sending love to all my CDN and US small biz folk who need to completely rejig their systems, suppliers and everything else.

To the rest of us, be patient with them. The world just shifted under everyone's feet and we cannot expect business as usual. But DO support your small business folk!

🧶

We want to send a message to the world: what has happened today is an absolute disgrace. It is completely un-American.

😍😍😍

Glad Lola is OK and hope that you are too ❤️

❤️❤️❤️ feeling the same here 😔

Beautiful!! 😍

All the love Adella ❤️

Stay warm!! That booger-freezing cold is no joke!! (Though I did chuckle at calling it that because I am surrounded by 2 almost-9-year-olds who are all about the bodily function jokes these days 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️)

❤️❤️❤️

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Breakfast for dinner is the best!

I mean, if I’ve crocheted the sneaker countdown from last year and the hip hop countdown from a couple years ago into my kids’ blankets, then clearly there’s room for another LBYC collection. It’s only logical 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you Jen!! ❤️

Spent the time between the bus stop and work attaching the next row of squares to A’s crochet blanket. On row 19 of 21. In the home stretch!! Can I finish by the end of the Pigskin Party on Monday?!? 🧶 #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket #ScrappyBlanketDiaries #DCSPigskinParty24

Green, pink, pale yellow, and purple solid granny squares are resting across the edge of a notebook where a crocheter has been tracking progress for a large scrappy blanket

4 more squares toward this week’s goal of 50. 20 left to go by Sunday night. Can totally do this! 🧶 #Crochet #GrannySquare #ScrappyBlanket #DCSPigskinParty24

Thankfully I have a couple of marathon work meetings each week when I can catch up on weaving in ends. Plus a virtual knit night this evening helped a ton 😃

Nothing like a “yarn meeting” (as my kiddo called tonight’s knitting zoom) to get a bunch of ends woven in! 🧶

UPDATE: Federal US District Judge Loren AliKhan has temporarily blocked the Trump regime from implementing their spending freeze. Judge AliKhan’s order expires Feb. 3 at 5pm.

Plaintiff's (correctly) argue that POTUS cannot stop funding to Americans already approved by Congress.

It’s almost as if one party cares about the lives of everyday people and the other doesn’t. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Sending you all the love and birthday wishes ❤️

Thank you! I’m using lots of DK leftovers, minis, and a few countdown calendars mixed in.

A colorful granny square blanket in many different variegated and tonal yarns covers the crafter’s outstretched legs that are elevated on the recliner. The crochet hook is through the working yarn ready to continue.

Yes I have approximately 1716381 ends to weave in. For now, this blanket is keeping me warm as I crochet the border for row 14 of 21. 🧶 I can totally finish this by the end of @bostonjen1.bsky.social ‘s Pigskin Party in two weeks, right?! #Crochet #ScrappyBlanket

Hi Jen!! Can’t wait to see this one continue to take shape. So pretty 😍

Came here to say the same thing 🤣 It’s how I reach stuff on the top shelf in my own kitchen, too, when I don’t feel like getting a chair/step stool.
