2-saving for my editor one last time while finishing the last few chapters and, of course, I have to make one final pass hand checking while I wait.
Tell me something uplifting! What's something small (or huge!) you've accomplished or that you're proud of lately?

1-Life has settled enough that I have a moment to breathe, and I feel like if I don't do something productive with that small moment, it's wasted. Something small that I can accomplish today- an update. (I can't even remember the last time I posted so hello again, everyone! πŸ˜…) I'm in the process of

Bloomington, Illinois, what an impressive turnout! Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who showed up, who drove by in support, and to those who wanted to but couldn't make it out today!

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

A fantastic YA dystopian series to binge is the Dissenter series by Josephine Lamont! They follow Mara de la Puente as she becomes the face of a rebellion against her father's authoritarian rule over Telvia and honestly, I already want to reread this series. Loved ARCing these!!πŸ’š

They are finished! (and finally blocked!!) I've got the Lonicera Earwarmers in The Testing Pool forum on Ravelry, and as soon as I get a few posed photos tomorrow, the pattern will be available on the site! Now to work out the fingerless mitts to go along with it!

If you're struggling financially due to government fuckery or for any reason really and you need infant formula talk to your pediatrician we can hook you up and don't like to ask questions.

Here's a fun thing you can do when you're some place that has books: put the right wing stuff behind more fact-based things. Get as many eyes as possible on the truth.

If anyone is interested in test knitting, these earwarmers should be up on my ravelry soon. I promise, they look so much better once they're blocked and the cables open! πŸ˜…

It was the first of hers for me, too. 😊 I've got several of her others, but unfortunately they have to wait until I finish my ARCs and bookclub book.

If anyone needs something to read when they should be writing (πŸ˜…πŸ˜…πŸ˜…), The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo is a personal favorite of mine. Trade off- I can read for an hour now if I write for two after.

I call them Procrastination Projects, and collectively, they make me feel ever so slightly like I've got my shit together πŸ˜… If I'm not focused enough to work on my main WIP, at least I can still be (sort of) productive and work on something.

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.
