I love those details that tie the whole idea together and back to the original!

Share away! 💜✊🏼

Thank YOU for the awesome art!

Five yard flags hang in the eves of a purple porch. The two in the back read Black Lives Matter and Peace. Two in the front read End Gun Violence and Protect Trans Kids. The newest one has no text but depicts a hermit thrush in the shape of the resistance symbol from Star Wars.

I've added a new flag to my collection. The resistance hermit thrush is by @twinkletaters.bsky.social #resist #vermontByVermonters

A crochet blanket with wide gray blue stripes and narrow dark purple stripes rests on the dashboard of a car. There are purple tassels draped over the edge.

See this beautiful crochet? It's not mine, Owen made me a lap blanket for when I'm cold in the car. I highly recommend a thoughtful, crafty guy. #crochet 🧶 #notMyWork

I said make sure it's an action. I did not claim the 3 actions listed are the only ones which count. I'm well aware of the nuances but also was making a social media post, not writing an essay. 💜 Everyone's effort counts.

If you knit a red hat and wear it to a protest, a food distribution event, or while being a public observer then great! If you knit red hats and think that's all you need to do then it's performative. Actions matter. #resist #fuckIce #fightFascism #knitsky 🧶

WWII nurses wore red lipstick on the battlefield. In 2021 citizens protested in the streets wearing pink hats.
It's not lipstick or the hat that makes a protest. It's the ACTION. Wearing a pink suit does nothing unless you're physically between Al Green and security. #resist #resistFascism #protest

"you keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means."

A photo of green snowblower throwing snow with the bottom half of the frame entirely white snow. Black text over the white snow spells out the obscenity: fuck ice.

I think it should be obvious, but in case you haven't picked up on my position. #fuckIce #vermontByVermonters #resist

It's been so long since I've knit jaywalkers! I should do this again.

A space-age looking paper coffee cup - it's ALL paper and it has a fold over top which forms a swoop into a sippy top.

Guys! GuysGUYSguysGuysGuys!

Plastic free, 100% recyclable coffee cup. I demand everyone switch immediately. Until they do I will buy all my coffees from Skinny Pancake. #plasticFree #vermontByVermonters #coffeeToGo #skinnyPancake

In a year that already has too much bad news, my partner Owen has been diagnosed with Leukemia. Putting this here because not-sharing wouldn't be telling my whole story. But please don't feel the need to donate. We're lucky to be well supported.

Six pint jars full of clear amber liquid sit on a blue and green kitchen towel. The tops are labeled: smoked bone broth 2026

I broke out the pressure canner and made some shelf stable meat juice! #homeCanning #foodInJars #chickenStock

They are, thanks!

Pretty and tasty!

A screen shot of lyrics reading: There'll be blue lights Flashin' down the long Dirt road When they ask me to Step out They say, "we've been Looking for illegal Immigrants Can we check your car?" I say, "you know it's funny I think we were on the Same boat back in 1694”

The song is "Shame on You" by the Indigo Girls in 1997. Everything old is new again. #resist #indigogirls #immigrants

Eleven frosted gingerbread cookies. Six sweaters with swirls stripes and dots, two butterflies, a maple leaf, a circle, and a classic person shape.

I made gingerbread sweaters! #cookies #baking #knitsky

They sure are DPNs! I think it's safe to say that the second hand store owner is not a knitter 😂

A quart sized mason jar almost completely full of old metal DPNs in a mix of sizes and colors sits next to a pint jar with at least 10 crochet hooks. A hand lettered sign on the jar reads "knitting needles / $1.00 pair / crochet hooks / $1.00 each"

Buying the whole jar is reasonable. Right? RIGHT? #knitsky 🧶 #secondHand

Please America, more of this!

A knitted gnome on a background of sticks. They have an ocean blue hat with three curly points (a bit like a jester's hat) a white scarf with red tips, and a green sweater with red pockets. This gnome is beardless but their hat is pulled down and their scarf is pulled up so only their nose sticks out.

One gnome finished and the second is already underway! This pattern is Oh Gnome, You Didn't from Imagined Landscapes on ravelry. I put bits of pipe cleaner in their hat so the points can go in any direction! #gnomeAlong #imaginedLandscapes #knitsky 🧶

A blue hat with three points like a jesters hat rests on a snow covered evergreen. Beneath it is a little white scarf with red tips. None of the ends have been woven in yet.

It's that time of year when I knit lots of things and take zero photos. Not because they're gifts and I'm trying to keep things a surprise. Just because we only have 8hrs 54min of daylight and I spend all of them at work and in the car. Here's a cute gnome hat in the waning blue light. #knitting 🧶

Can't wait to see how yours turn out! I agree the neutral solids really help.

Vindication!

A mason jar with citrus peel infusion and a bottle of wine in a hand knit green gift bag with a beaded tree decorating it.

Adding to #weAintBuyingIt I never shop on a weekend meant for thanks AND I do not shop at box stores. I've switched from Amazon to local stores today and every day!

I love love love that sweater with the tree yoke!

A windshield eye view out over the dashboard into a snowstorm. The snow is sticking to the glass everywhere the wiper blades don't reach.

A+ to my past self for scheduling the winter tire change over for today! #vermontByVermonters #btv #winterDriving

A silver Nissan leaf EV has the nose cover open and is plugged in to a high speed charger. A normal gas station is visible on the background.

I needed to charge on my way to work. It took me 6min to work the high tech coffee maker while my car charged 8-21% I can finish at work.

It's key to have fast chargers everywhere. Drivers don't need to charge to full if we know it's not the only option in the county. #nissanLEAF #evCharging

A screenshot of a meta AI post white text over blue mountains reads "Republicans are taking away people's food because Democrats won't vote to take away healthcare. The cruelty is the point." I do not use AI but this background was in with all the others on the book of faces and I didn't realize it was AI until it had posted.

Republicans are taking away people's food because Democrats won't vote to take away healthcare.

The cruelty is the point.
