Just periodically remembering the lecture I chose to give to my mother about her racist ignorance after she relayed her 'funny' "I just call him Curious George and Biden the 'man in the yellow hat'" commentary multiple times.

It's kind of wild to see the lived experience of "Don't tell on the bully, it just makes things worse" is somehow still relevant.

I am accepting this challenge and raising $1200 for one Minneapolis family to cover their overdue rent today. Venmo me at nkkritzer and I will send the money to that family once it's raised. I believe in us.

I really appreciate getting a phone call from my supervisor and her absolutely registering my answer to "how's it going?" being "ok" is 100% false.
Some of this could be due to the general state of the world, but even work itself is bullshit and caring about any of it feels a bit futile.

Finally got to cast on stitches for mine thin morning!
A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community.

In a moment of surprise to me, one of the two yarn shops in our town has posted about the Melt the Ice hat.
I'm disappointed it's not the one we usually frequent, but I'm fully prepared to reward them for sticking their necks out considering we live in a rather red part of the state.

I've held off on using my Quivering Palm Monk ability for a bit now, and my DM made it TOO tempting not to try it.
That 5 Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique is pretty sweet.

I just love when I have to re-learn muscle memory, because Microsoft decided to adjust things again. Sometimes, it feels like that "moving an image in a Word document" meme extends through their entire office suite.
Would that I could quit it, but that's not how my job works.

The pattern was designed by a Minneapolis yarn store. All sales are going to local immigrant aid organizations. They've raised over $125,000 (!!!) since the knitting pattern was posted a few days ago.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"
"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."
After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"
"This, too, it's magic."

My nuclear mute features on this site are clearly protecting me from some bit of information this morning, and my terminal case of FOMO is making me far too curious about whatever the fuck someone has said/done/condoned/endorsed in the last 12 hours.
I'm sure I'll figure it out at some point...
