The worst part of modern life is cascading overdraft fees that eat an entire paycheck and then guarantee you'll be overdrawn for a month.

If you can help, I'd appreciate it

Still asking for a little help, February bills are covered, but March is right there looking at me funny.

I made mittens! Just in time for spring and warmer weather.

I hate asking for help, but, this year has been tight. I made a gofundme, so if you have a couple bucks, please and thank you, and if you don't, please share: gofund.me/4a81b2aa

An old black and white dog in a handmade pink and orange knitted sweater perches on a pillow swathed in a green blanket. She is Bean, an 18 year old rat terrier.

I have been relearning to knit, and successfully created a dog sweater. In the process I learned raglan sleeves, German short rows, and a stretchy bond off

A closeup of bright pink knitted fabric in a four stitch repeating alternate knit/purl pattern that swaps every six rows to create a checkerboard pattern.

I'm re-teaching myself to knit. A simple four stitch alternating knit/purl pattern. Not bad, considering it's been at least a decade since I picked up knitting needles.

A green tree with white lights and colorful balls, alongside wicker snowflakes and handmade white crocheted snowflakes.

A brown bookshelf with a miniature winter scene fairing small flocked trees and snowmen, with a large white crocheted snowflake in the back.

I gave the crocheted snowflakes to the person they were for, and they look good!

I am seeing a really shitty take by a non Anthropologist going semi viral on what constitutes Indigenous land rights- a celebration of a bigot infused blog post, written by an uneducated fool, impressing no one. Please start here if you want to learn more.

It came out really good!

A crocheted snowflake that flows in the dark.

The glow in the dark yarn makes really neat crochet snowflakes

Five seconds of gently simmering chicken bones, with a bay leaf.

I'm making chicken and dumplings in the crock pot, and the bones from the bone-in skin-on breasts are roasting to be turned into stock later. And I made homemade croutons this morning. Smells great in here!

I didn't get this design, but I did grab a couple shirts and stickers from Marty's collection on threadless!

I made much larger crocheted snowflakes! Some are gifts, but one in my window. (The one made from glow in the dark yarn!)

A long haired black cat naps in a pile of blankets.

The pile of formerly folded lap blankets under the side table is a popular nap spot.

Love the saturation on the colors

Reported individual posts and the whole account for being a troll and anti trans.

A stiffened crochet snowflake held upright by a single very thin point.

24 crocheted snowflakes pinned on a foam mat to dry.

Yesterday I experimented with diluted clear craft glue to stiffen the crocheted snowflakes, and this morning I awoke to stiff flakes! It worked, and dried overnight!

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

A small white dog glares out from between folded blankets.

My blanket is glaring at me

I am a woman. I am fine with a trans woman sharing my bathroom. Trans women are women. Pass it on.

And sleeping'funny' and waking up with a whole new ache!

34. I like to eat, y'all.
