My younger sister has been on dialysis three times a week for four years. Last year she had two toes amputated. Her quality of life is horrible, in constant pain, stays in bed all the time. I used to try to get her to eat better but finally decided that she has so little pleasure in her life why not
Such fun. My first BlueSky in person knitting and sharing friend. @Spookyduds took a great selfie.
First meetup with a Bluesky mutual! @cateknit.bsky.social is awesome and I can't wait to hang out and knit again.
Is this the place you discovered recently?

Yarn-bombing is thought to have originated in Texas USA, instigated by clothes-shop owner Magda Sayeg and a group known as Knitta Please, who began the "knit graffiti" movement to brighten up public spaces as a form of street art #Womensart

If judges can refuse to officiate gay weddings, gay defendants should be able to refuse to be heard by those judges. If they can’t be compelled to perform the most heteronormative of functions, why would anyone believe they are capable of putting their biases aside for something with higher stakes?

Most of us have far more than we need or will use.
With regards to yesterday’s reminder to clear out quality toys (and clothes and jackets, etc) now instead of waiting until next year:
1) complete and good quality, please. A bag of random Lego is fine; but an incomplete Lego model is not. Same with games, puzzles, other toys. Reinforce weak boxes.
Yes. I have a helper who comes on Saturday morning. Otherwise, any time. I live in the Museum District. I will DM you my contact information.
What a wonderful offer! Thank you. It is all up in the air right now. My SNAP only is $28 a month. My sister is in the worse situation. She used to get Meals on Wheels but found them inedible.
What about simply getting together to visit and knit?
Thanks for the suggestion. I might ask on my local NextDoor. There are some very kind folks on there.

My sister (71) and I (80) both will miss our upcoming SNAP benefits. She is uses a wheelchair and oxygen, goes to dialysis 3 times a week. I am in better health but can only walk short distances with the help of a cane. I do not have the stamina to get to a food bank and wait in line.
