A red, Norwegian-style hand knitted hat with the letters FCK "written" in seed stitch.

The other side of the same red, Norwegian-style hand knitted hat with the letters ICE "written" in seed stitch.

Same hat, this time including an orange tabby cat loafing next to it

Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
My hat says FCK ICE.
What about you?

EPA reverses long-standing climate change finding, stripping its own ability to regulate emissions The agency announced it is repealing its 2009 conclusion that greenhouse gases warm the Earth and endanger human health and well-being.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

TIL that I share a birthday with Elmo.

I also learned that Elmo's "favorite food is wasabi; that's why he normally has no eyelids." [https://muppet.fandom.com/wiki/Elmo]

Video: Videos Contradict Trump Administration Account of ICE Shooting in Minneapolis An analysis of footage from three camera angles shows that the motorist was driving away from — not toward — a federal officer when he opened fire.

It’s cause that sentence uses every letter of the alphabet!

My great aunt (who is 93) has been long term pranking my brother and sister-in-law. A friend of hers got her a big box of gnomes at a garage sale for $5. Every time my brother’s family goes on a trip a new gnome mysteriously shows up somewhere on their property.

Museum of Failure

TIL that there is a Museum of Failure and it kind of warms my heart. We know we learn from our failures, but they're not usually something we put on display for others to see. museumoffailure.com

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

An old white stacked washer/dryer unit is now able to escape the closet that was built around it ca. 2007

Vielen Dank für Ihre Dienste und auf Wiedersehen.

At this LGBTQ+ haven in Germany, you can adopt a 'gay sheep.' Seriously. All proceeds support Germany’s largest queer rights organization.

I really hate this season of the White POTUS.

Biggest commitment to a 3 second joke I've ever seen

Queer culture is having a leather daddy offer you a pink cat t-shirt in Duolingo

The voice of logic! (I was mostly being silly after seeing a big cursive “W” last night) :)

Low key not sure if you’re wearing a Walgreens or a Wisconsin hat

DOCUMENT DESTRUCTION:

My reporter Brett Murphy obtained a remarkable directive to folks at USAID: Empty the safes with the classified and personnel records and then,

"Shred as many documents first, and reserve the burn bags for when the shredder becomes unavailable or needs a break."

This would be a *good fucking start* for what the Democrats could actually do.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Oh my Lord. Wait til you hear this. #BishopBudde is more of a hero than I ever knew. It is because of her than Matthew Shepard finally has a peaceful resting place, free from vandalism … his grave is in the National Cathedral! She did this in *2018* 🙏🏻 My love.

It’s 7° F outside with a windchill of -13° and somebody is outside making noise with their chainsaw… I’m not sure why, but this is really annoying to me!

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.

An orange cat crouches next to three pieces of knitting: a large tube that will become the torso, and two cuffs and what will become sleeves

As my piano teacher used to say, “this should keep [me] out of trouble for awhile!”

And it might: I can choose between dpns and circs and more circs

An in-progress gray sweater with some orange stripes now and then alongside a project bag it lives in when not being worked on

A little latest knit project update for you…
This is going to be an EPS Raglan(ish). It’s made from Icelandic einband and I’m using a size 6 needle. I hope it’s nice and lightweight, but still warm ☺️🧶🐑
