Happy Darwin day.

Watchful stone owls are watching you from the entrance to a brownstone on the lower east side.

Happy Superb Owl Sunday to those who celebrate #GargoylesOfNewYork

Getting up is overrated.

That's GORGEOUS!

GM: that’s a d6 how did you

Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

OPB just had a segment on those. Very cool looking.

At the problematic point of "it just never ends". When of course it ends any time we want. So tired.

Vines on bones girl winter, thorns beneath ice girl winter, cradled by numbing cold girl winter

Gorgeous.

Oooh

Love this one!

Love those ear colors! But yes, the yarn struggle is eternal.

Langston's entire awareness is focused on my sweater-to-be. This yarn is so beautiful but also it is yarn, and therefore toy.

Mom, can I help? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE #caturday #knitsky

And yes this is true for both knit and purl. I'm finally starting to remember 🤓 thanks!

That thread is gold. Temu nazi!

Yes we do.

Yes I've definitely discovered this is not smooth.

This is my very first sweater so I will be trying to stick to the pattern, but those look cool.

Thank you!

She stayed away from popular places, the gyms of intentions, pubs of obfuscated thoughts. Crowds were labels she could not scratch. Bright lights and noise were a thing that made her smaller. In the forest she could grow, her heart filling a space.

Is that on the knit side? Both? Thank you!

Hey #knitsky anyone have a good mnemonic for make stitches? Left and right, knit and purl. I can't ever remember whether to pick up the yarn from front or back. I'm attempting my first sweater and it uses all four make stitch types. So far I have to watch a video on Every. Single. Make Stitch. Help.

Hellebores are SO WONDERFUL.

“We have not touched the stars,
nor are we forgiven, which brings us back
to the hero’s shoulders and the gentleness that comes,
not from the absence of violence, but despite
the abundance of it.”
― Richard Siken, Crush

They set up a noise like crickets,
A chattering wise and sweet,
And her hair was a folded flower
And the quiet of love in her feet.
-W.B. Yeats, The Cap and Bells

Some days, for example yesterday, you're out in the garden with your pitchfork when some folktale persons appear and offer to fix all the dents in your car. since I always pay attention to folktales, my car is now lovely and we all parted ways happy.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they're the ones who are alone."

Really good piece overall, but that sentence is superb.

Reminding myself today that my actual job is getting federal funds to local jurisdictions and community groups. Surprisingly, this money is still flowing, even to Oregon.
