I knit and chase my dog and teach fitness and try to occasionally raise some children in my free time.

Instant fall favoriteβ€”the #claysweater from #ozetta, in yarn so local it doesn’t have a name. Love it! #knitsky

If the shooter had killed a leftist podcaster, he would have a multi million dollar Go Fund Me to cover his legal fees tomorrow, and an interview lined up with Charlie Kirk.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

The official voice of the US government Is cruel, gross, and weird. What is that doing to us? Joking memes about imprisonment, deportation, and death by alligator are designed to radicalize and desensitize.

I was so scared of it for so long but you know what? The #hitofudecardigan is a piece of cake.

Someone remind me I said that ^ in a week or two when I’m tearing my hair out trying to bind off the sleeves and make that cool waistband bit all at the same time, okay? #knitsky #laceknitting

I love the way the #ShowMeYourKnits prompts encourage me to look at my older pieces with fresh eyes, so for #knitterschoice week I’ve chosen the newest finished thing I’ve got. Here’s my #Tessasweater, in yarn from @thebluebrick.bsky.social and #plymouthyarns. #knitsky

The secret to Baltimore's extraordinary year This April, Baltimore saw five homicides.

1. We interrupt this programming for some LEGITIMATELY GOOD NEWS

Violent crime in Baltimore has PLUMMETED to historic lows

How did the city do it?

Baltimore adopted a comprehensive set of "woke" policies, treating violence as a public health issue

A little of my #WIP for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits: a #TessaSweater in β€œLemon Ray” from @thebluebrick.bsky.social. Bought the yarn before I really β€œdid” sweaters and didn’t buy enough, but I found a nice neutral match from #plymouthyarn to do the hem and 2nd sleeve. Eventually. #knitsky

It’s not easy to keep up with her energetic needs, but it’s worth the effort. When I succeed, I find myself rewarded with Puddle of Dog.

Thanks! It’s one of the first patterns I ever bookmarked, and it took me literal years to get around to trying it. It’s a very enjoyable knit!

When I started knitting I felt like #garterstitch was low-key embarrassingβ€”a bumpy, lumpy, stretchy mess I was only doing because I couldn’t do anything else. As is so often the case, time and experience proved me wrong.

The same chicken, closer up and facing the other way and somehow even wiser.

Me looking at the #ShowMeYourKnits prompt: I never knit with #yellow.

Me looking at my Ravelry page: Do I ever NOT knit with yellow?

Anyway, here’s the #EmotionalSupportChicken I made my mom last year. #knitsky #cascade220

#ShowMeYourKnits I knit this in public; I knit it everywhere! It started conversations and even made me a few connections. 1700 yards later it was done just in time to sit waiting for winter to come again….

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife.

While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE.

This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Cool but we’ve been saying that for a decade now and it would be nice if it eventually had any foundation whatsoever in fact.
