Arachne

I knew I was going to have to make it in two panels, and rather than trying to line it up, I decided to go free form

Have fun! Here's a blanket I spun and wove. Turned into a breed study - spun single breed yarn. A lot of it is Shetland or Jacob, but also Finn and Gotland.

Claimed by Ms. MO Boudreaux before it was even dry after wet finishing.

Here’s an idea and you want to help people in you area, turn your itty bitty book library 📚 into a tiny food pantry.

Again, please repost.

Things are going to be hard for families who rely on SNAP benefits in a few days. Someone sent this to Mom.
This could be a small help for those families.
Needless to say, Mom is stopping at the grocery today to get some of these things.

I don't know while I'm usually a whole grain, multi-seed gal, for cinnamon toast I want my white bread.

My favorite children's book. Especially with the Tasha Tudor illustrations

Yes I listened to the interview. And those "podcast bros" are people who worked in the Obama Whitehouse. The one interviewing was on the NSC, so they have a bit of knowledge and experience with both politics and governance.

I don't trust the Dem machine trying to crush him more.

So proof it'sa Nazi tattoo and not a stupid Marine macho drunk shore leave tattoo?

How about looking at the source? I'm so P.O.'d at the Senate dems - don't put your thumb on the scale in a primary, and don't push oppo shit on another dem

Make that close tio an hour and peopleare still pouring in and I can'tsee the end #RenoNV #NoKings

Reno, NV is showing up. No idea of crowd size, but it's been close to a half hourandpeoplearestill arriving from the march to the rally

Be careful about pictures that identify others - blur face of your compatriots

Winter Peeks In It rained down here in the valleys on Tuesday, which means snow in the mountains this time of year.

Because I am pressed for time/lazy, here's a link to some images of beauty and peace to store away for the days to come

About to say the same got Covid and flu shots the same day. First time no symptoms at all for Covid.

I know you are much more vulnerable, but maybe, at least, it will be less bad?

While I prefer the Tasha Tudor illustrations for Wind in the Willows, I'll take any well done depiction of the story

I was going to make the same comment - these people want to institute eugenics. The focus on autism (not people - the condition - the dehumanizing is blatant) and Trans people

Eugenics - we don't need those "broken" people. It's part of their obsession with autism, they see them as w/o worth or use.

Makes me wonder about The Dispossessed - one of the more impactful reads of my early teens.

OMG, it's been years since I've heard (someone else) quote The Frogs chorus! Used to be a standard part of my repartee.

Would be a great addition to the frog school of the absurd

I'll be most of them have been to Take Back the Night marches too

It's odd, Indigenous People's Day doesn't register for me because the tribe I work for celebrates themselves on a different day (Wà šiw Day - this year on 9/26)

I do like the idea of reclaiming a day from a colonizer

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.
 
It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

Musing: in what ways does the gender change, especially Advance Practice RNs impact the tension between (some) physicians and "mid-levels." The profession is still predominantly female, so NPs are more female: does that add to the animosity? And there's gender sorting - CRNAs (M) Nuse-Midwives (F)

I don't have the data to support, but a phenomenon I have observed is that they quickly start showing up at higher leadership levels.

I've always wondered if the opposite occurs. Looking at my profession - nursing - there's been a push to involve more men/break the stereotype of those men who are nurses are also all queer. Anyway, as more men enter the profession what, if any, effect does it have on prestige and remuneration?

And I stand in solidarity with that sentiment!

Sorry my US-ean brain went to Planned Parenthood and went "yes, yes I am."

For me, it depends on timing and device. I won't post a bunch of pics on my phone right before I head out to work b/c I don't have to do the Alt text, which is sometimes annoying.

Thank you! As a self-identified feminist since the early 70s (I told you I'm an Old) and just a general lefty activist, I appreciate the information and the work!
