Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.

They blame the left for things they do.

My train person visited me in Finland and measured the rails. Love people with passions. ❤️

I feel for you. With fatigue I had to learn to be ok with knowing it will take days to feel ok to do some tasks, or I need to ask for help. It has done wonders for my patience. Not one upping here, just commiserating. For me there are tasks I can focus on easier and faster. Helps finding those.

Thanks. I changed to linen stitch, and will see about lining. Ty

I love it. This is how best fashion happens. Would never be able to plan it.

Alt text pls, ty

I'm attempting to knit a bag out of bambu/viscose/cotton mix. I'm worried it's a bit too stretchy. Any advice is welcome. Do I need a fabric lining, or could I knit/crochet one? My sewing machine is "somewhere safe", meaning in the cellar among a pile of stuff. 🧶

You post cute stuff. Could you do alt text? You can turn on a reminder for them. ❤️

Slightly Howling @slightlyhowling.bsky.social · 3d

Cool to share your thoughts. I'm a bit over eager at trying to ease people's feelings. Didn't mean to push it.

I don't think they mean it as if it's the first ever use of this idea. But I understand feeling frustrated with memory issues. My family didn't really have much money, and my parents often feared a cheap game would later turn out to have further costs. So for us this idea would have been a good one.

Not having to think with someone pointing at targets calling them bad guys. Racism and a power trip.

It's probably a learning curve. My comments are in low numbers, but gotta say every time it's 15 or something, my heart jumps a little.

“What did you write in the letter?”

Frog said,"I wrote, ‘Dear Toad, I am glad that you are my best friend.

Your best friend, Frog.'”

Toad's mailbox awaits...something.

Better statistics, I guess, if there is nobody there to find out what's happening. Except, that doesn't exactly stop the health emergencies from happening on their term.

Top jobs seem to go the way of pretend jobs like vibe coding. At least at my friend's job, this person is really called that and knows nothing of coding or managing a developing project. My friend isn't mean, this is a realistic description. I guess with execs, people were kissing rich people tush.

They prioritize white voters from conservative states and learn what that does. Except they hate learning.

Nobels have been used to make political deals with bad people, so at least for some of us, it would not have been a surprise. Not that we rooted for him. But, of course, he has his fan club.

Slightly Howling @slightlyhowling.bsky.social · 7d

I live in the wrong place with wrong amount of money. That looks amazing.

Slightly Howling @slightlyhowling.bsky.social · 7d

How is that not gay? I know cishet dudes have some close close close friendships, but are they checking each other's bodies quite like this?
