Pacific Northwest. Essentially a premature grandma who bakes, knits obsessively, and occasionally remembers to care for the flowers in my yard.

Alright as promised to @floregonian.com, here’s the finished shawl FINALLY not pinned to carpet. I’m very very pleased with how it came out.

Pattern: “Cathedral Grove” by Designs by Romi
Yarn: “Maleficent” and “Dragon’s Fire” by Long Dog Yarn

A white nonbinary woman poses in a handknit lace shawl. Her body is facing to the right of the photo, and her head is turned toward the camera. She has a big smile. The shawl has a purple top and bright green bottom.

A white person holds a lace knit shawl out, extended between their hands, so show the lace detailing. The shawl has a subtly variegated purple top, and a bright green bottom edge.

A close up of the lace details of the shawl, wrapped around a person’s back.

you’re missing the point: you, yes, you, reading this right now, can march up the steps and kick the fucking door in if you’re willing to do the work. you can be “local democratic operations”.

If only those local Democratic operations would target their currently energized base instead of the imaginary swing voting Baileys of Massapequa

Update on these muffins: they are delicious.

MUFFINS. These are pumpkin and have a cream cheese filling.

A set of pumpkin muffins topped with streusel. They look a little caved in because they have a cream cheese filling that sinks a bit when it cools. They are a deep orange color, the streusel is a bit paler.

Some of my photos of this species are likely to be used for the paper revising the genus, so that's fun 👀

This is literally what primaries are for.

People DESPERATELY need stronger civics education. This is how it goes.

I am also delighted we have Jrue. Helps give Toumani a break.

I love owls. It’s a real treat to see them out in daytime.

Can we also talk about Wesley? Little bench firecracker. Time will tell how that shakes out but I like the kid.

Also Chris Murray continues to put in solid reliable minutes.

I hope they’re baked all the way. Fillings make it… challenging. 🤣

No toothpick test here!

I remain very white, but am suddenly far less Irish than anticipated which I’m not wholly sure I buy.

If you wanna get to the root of “antifa” you’ll have to exhume my grandparents.

There may come a point where violence is necessary. But we want to have won public opinion before that happens, and this? This is the way to do it.

The fight for the soul of this country is going to require absurdity.

Fascists break upon absurdity.

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 5h

a few of the usual suspects have complained that this kind of absurdity doesn’t do enough to center the people on the receiving end of the stick, and, it’s like, that’s not really the point here, the point is to fucking break them on our air inflated latex bellies

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

I don’t know what mine was but I know what my first word was.

That said the word itself isn’t the fun part of the story, the fun part is one of my mother’s friends was the one who had to point out, “your kid is talking!” She had not the slightest clue, thought it was still babble
