Trump is currently attending a National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral presided by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. I interviewed Bishop Budde, she told me, "Trump seeks to dismantle everything I stand for.” Then I learned of the unlikely Trump resistance within the cathedral.
My latest, a tough and important article to write. @rollingstone.com On Carter's death and the Trump resistance. “Racist, sexist, misogynistic, transphobic ideology. It’s violent, and we have to name the violence. We have to stop the violence. That’s our task.”

Washington mourned Jimmy Carter last week at the National Cathedral, which has been a guide for activism in the Trump era.

I'll preface this by saying, I hate making pompoms. I actually made 2 more hats to avoid pompoms, which makes no sense at all. So 8 hats ready for Giftmas! #showmeyourknits # bskyknits #knitting 🧶 #yorkies

We are going to need a lot of fantasy books to get us through the next 4 years.

7 years ago my husband asked me to recreate the War Doctor scarf from Doctor Who. So I did. It was an absolute pita to knit and I told him he has to wear it every day for the rest of his life.

He does not.

Throwback to last year's knitted Giftmas presents. I loved this pattern with variegated yarn for the sky. I was inspired by the aurora pics that were flooding my feed at the time. #knitting #showmeyourknits #bskyknit

Good advice, going forward. I've been using Cheetoh for some years now, but perhaps that's too orange. I need a new name.

A collection of knitted dolls I made a few years back. I improvised off a free snowman pattern I found on Ravelry. #knitting #showmeyourknits #bskyknit #nerdyknits

That time I decided to knit my husband a complicated Alice Starmore sweater. With sockweight yarn. There were tears, swearing and weeks in the 'Bad Knitting Timeout Box' #knitting

When the Sony Walkman was first becoming popular, the Icelandic Language Committee, which is entrusted with keeping the Icelandic language pure from the contamination of foreign words, decided it would be called vasadiskó. It means “pocket disco”
