I’m sorry, but this just shouldn’t be allowed. Do you know how many people can’t renovate their homes because they are in a historical area? What possibly could be more historic than the White House? Where’s the historic preservation commission on this project? 🔄

A 2024 study published in JAMA involving 2.4 million children in Sweden, used sibling-control analysis. When comparing siblings—one exposed to #acetaminophen in utero & one not—the researchers found NO increased risk of #autism, ADHD, or intellectual disability.

Nothing screams “small government, free speech warrior” like the FCC chair rocking state-mandated jewelry of a convicted felon.

Brendan Carr went from pretending to guard the First Amendment to cosplaying as Trump’s mall cop.

Why fall knitting is my favorite: I can knit in front of the fire in the morning & then outdoor in the sunshine during the afternoon 🍁 🔥 🧶

Working on a test for @perfectlyknotted.bsky.social What can I say - her patterns are too good to pass up! #ScornedSweater #knitsky @sewhappyjane.bsky.social

See what a "soft war" of tariffs does to our global partners? It unites them against us and portrays the US as an enemy that must be defended against in the world order.

It is one thing, as a blue state voter, to know that your taxes are being spent elsewhere in the country. But it is quite another to worry that they will simply disappear into a sinkhole of corruption, such as that which is now being created in the WH. snyder.substack.com/p/look-on-my...

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.

The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.

Who would’ve thought Americans wouldn’t want to live in a military state? Oh that’s right, all Americans. Another negative impact of the military crackdown in DC small businesses are struggling to make sales. Restaurant reservations have dropped by nearly 30% compared with last year, and some owners

You can also use their platform without giving them a single cent, as far as payment processors go that’s pretty incredible

(sigh) Once again, people: Either donate or don't donate, but please stop spreading misinformation about ActBlue.

They're an online payment processor who also provides a very handy interface for creating fundraising pages as well as campaign finance reporting.

That's it.
Bluesky thread between people making silly claims about ActBlue and myself

Working on my latest test knit (yes, I’m addicted to testing 🤣), this one for @samanthaguerin.bsky.social

This is the #NightlinesSweater and it’s shaping up to be gorgeous! Paused the body to do the neckline before deciding on hem length next!
