If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain. Emily Dickinson

Finally feels like a real Korean autumn. For the last several weeks Seoul had inexplicably tuned into Seattle with gloomy clouds and constant rain.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

And they’re off! The first 40 out of 100 letters my mom and I are writing with @votefwd.bsky.social to encourage fellow Californians to get out and vote in the Nov. 4 special election.

Thank you, @uspostal.bsky.social!

Pretty cool, James. Pretty cool. Pretty proud of you.

You don't know me, but that's the highest compliment a person can offer in our family.

Ok US Songbird fans, I think I can continue to ship to the US (I had paused for a few days while I sorted things out!)

US orders will show any extra charges at the checkout and be shipped DPP (duties prepaid), so full transparency and no surprises at your front door!🧶

A red website header that says shipping to US will be available as before with duties prepaid. Below is some lovely bird-inspired yarn based on a Northern Parula.

Barack Obama @barackobama.bsky.social · 13h

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Everyone they use as a mouthpiece should turn their backs and ignore them.

Just saw this on a favorite dyer site: songbirdfibres.ca/pages/tariff...

Tariffs and US shipping

As of Aug 29, 2025, the $800 De Minimus for small package tariffs is no longer in effect. I think I have the setting properly set up to allow smooth shipping via Canada Post/USPS. You will see a $2.00...

Rolling my eyes a bit at our drug “enforcement”; I’m from Palm Beach area. We used to jokingly call some of the fancy cigarette boats docked along the Intercoastal drug runner boats. Never mind some of the billionaire yachts coming in—think they were searched? 😎
