I’m pretty sure the Tolsta Tank has a nice loose gauge!

Kilmar Abrego Garcia has now been unlawfully detained for 4 weeks, 25 days of which he has spent without family or legal contact in CECOT, in the country he was not allowed to be removed to, which holds members of the gang that persecuted him and caused him to flee to the U.S. in the first place.

I don't think we talk enough about the effect of art on us. I can see one drawing I really really like and I'll be happy for the rest of the day I'm not exaggerating. Your art makes someone feel that way. Your art makes someone happy. Your art helps someone get through the day.

If you're not sure what to do, help the helpers. Federal cuts are harming your local food pantry.

Send them a contribution if you can. A small monthly donation is even better because it's reliable cash flow.

If anything, those are the people who *most* need due process, because those are the people I'd be most likely to treat unfairly despite my best efforts to avoid it. Safeguards against unfair treatment of others are safeguards against unfair treatment of ourselves, too.

Authors and publishers of fiction and TTRPGs: there is a class action lawsuit being put together against Meta who are using the Libgen database to mine content to train their AI with. It is possible that your work is in there, I know mine is, if so and you're in America, contact the lawyers listed.

We have a trial cotton-Tencel chainette base in stock this spring! It’s going fast, but we’d love if you picked up a few skeins and let us know what you think! If it’s a hit, it might be back in future ;)

If you live in NC, call every Republican politician you know. Call every farmer you know and ask them to do the same

Four skeins of Acadia, a blue, green and teal color way, in linen blends. The 70/30 cotlin is at left and the linen-cotton-Tencel is at right.

Two skeins of Acadia on Harbor cotlin fingering. 

Harbor softens the color a *teensy* bit and gives it a touch of blend. This yarn handles very much like Chesapeake. I pulled these skeins for a summer tee project - I am thinking @toriknitsnyc's #brooklynraglanlite since the sleeve texture does such amazing things to variegateds!

Three skeins of Acadia on Wicomico linen blend fingering. 

Wicomico has that fresher, breezy linen feel and the different fiber strands add an amazing dimension in this color!! As soon as these skeins dried, I knew they needed their moment on the grid. They are headed out the door into someone's stash, so I don't know what they are destined to be, but I think it'll turn out gorgeous!

Lovely linen, two ways πŸ₯° Harbor Cotlin Fingering (L) and Wicomico Linen Blend Fingering (R).

This is Acadia, one of our Vacationland collection colors from last year and a current member of our dyed to order library!

One of these days we're gonna have to reckon with the fact that "money that I spend which does not directly benefit me is a waste" is a popular sentiment.

I think we should state plainly that this is selfish on its face.

And stupid when you have awareness which extends beyond your nose.
