As a yarn shop shopper and yarn shop worker, I have both felt this and had customers say “it’s so nice when it’s just you and nobody is hounding me”

And also a third thing where I wish everyone would just shop online instead of bothering me in person

The chickadee outside my window this morning: “ITS SPRING!”

ok, I agree, that’s great, but it will also be spring two hours from now when it’s not FIVE THIRTY AM.

If you figure it out, let me know

“If I do not hear from you, I will assume you do not plan to comply with the President’s Executive Order,” wrote Musk representative Nate Cavanaugh. This is a blatant overreach of their authority. Please do not cooperate.

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

I think that I, personally, should get get discounted museum/aquarium/zoo entry because WILL make it up as I exit through the gift shop

A brown dog and a black dog share the same dog bed. There is a quilt in the dog bed. The brown dog is further away from the camera, looking off to the right of the image. The black dog is passed the fuck out, half falling off the dog bed

My country is descending into fascism AND my dog is probably dying I CANNOT do both of these things at the same time

A mostly dark brown shrimp sits on a piece of driftwood, grazing on biofilm

Check out this random chocolate shrimp in my blue shrimp colony!

(Yeah, I assumed it was about me, but humans assume everything is about them, too. It’s not an uncommon problem, okay?)

Ok I need the alcohol-free sober fake liquors and the weed-instead-of-alcohol fake liquors to come to some kind of arrangement because I can’t tell which “alcohol-free buzz” is being coyly marketed to me…“herbal tincture” vs “botanical beverage” SO IS GIN

repost this if anti-trans people are not welcome and unsafe with you

Hey fellow Floridians.

Take a look at SB 1692 (HB 1539). It's trying to make book bans easier by creating a state-level THING that's going to cost you $3M a YEAR. This would make it nearly impossible for anyone to object when a book is deemed "harmful to minors"🧵

Same here lol, which is why I don’t knit socks

So in the awesome future the authoritarian takeover is planning, coming soon near you, you're just chilling when all of a sudden the air seems a little funny. Dark & weird & spooky then the wind picks up. Then the floodwaters come & you're in a catastrophic hurricane. But you never got the forecast.

If I knit socks, socks. Maybe the crown decreases on a fingering weight hat?

Elon Musk’s $1 Spending Limit Is Paralyzing Federal Agencies The DOGE-mandated credit card freeze is delaying shipments of critical supplies, stalling travel, and stopping employees from doing their jobs.

NEW: Last month, the Trump administration placed a $1 spending limit on most government-issued credit cards that federal employees use to cover travel and work expenses. It's paralyzing federal agencies.

My tiny 401k lost money like two years in a row so I just pulled it out because even if it grew 10x between now and when I’m 70 it still wouldn’t be enough to afford an apartment at 2025 prices so why bother?

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Spending isn't a “conspiracy” just because Musk doesn’t know how to read usaspending.gov.

A program isn't waste just because it doesn’t help the richest man in the world.

It isn't fraud just because he doesn’t like it.

A law is not illegal just because he disagrees with it.

I just want to go back to my cubicle and watch Sanctuary Moon

Jeremy Crawford: Get out there and defeat your bosses today! D&D Beyond: For legal reasons we feel like we should clarify, he means Dungeons & Dragons bosses. Crawford: I mean what I mean (with an image of the Hasbro CEO).

Well, that's a ruling. Get out there and do it.

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
