Quilting, jewelry, maker-of-things. She/her. Disabled but only on the inside. Intent on polluting the shades of Pemberly. I don’t know how many ways I can tell ya’ll that I’m not a writer. Seriously. I wish I were.

Look at that cat. That cat can keep a secret.
When you leak to me, this is who you’re leaking to, btw.
Understandable!

I think I would say, “do I know any knitters? Take my money!” or something like that. Communicating is hard and I am tired.
I don’t knit at all- this is way beyond my concentration/skill level. It looks good though, so I wanted to share!
Do I know any knitters?? 😍
Here is the Ravelry link for my free #AbolishICE beanie. Extensive notes cover all aspects of #knitting and refer to video tutorials; versions in cotton/wool fingering/sport. I appreciate any favorites there/here to boost the pattern! #knitsky #AbolishICE #NoKings 🧶

Who the fuck doesn’t know that?!?!
This is Lindsay Halligan, the egregiously unqualified nitwit put in charge of prosecuting Trump’s enemies list.

For those who don’t know, if you want to go off the record with a reporter, you have to say so upfront and have them agree. The ground rules must be explicit at the start.

The fact that they are apparently demolishing the workspace typically occupied by the First Ladies’ and their staffs feels a bit on-the-nose.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

Because of the shutdown, people on Medicare cannot get telehealth appointments. This is a big deal for elderly disabled people and those in rural communities.

SNAP benefits are going to be paused on November 1. If you are able, now is a good time to give to food banks, food pantries, or local mutual aid groups.

In lieu of being the full-size candy bar house (bc we can’t afford it with as many kids come around) we’re the potato house. Put a potato in the center of the candy bowl and offer a child their choice of a piece of candy or the potato. The weird kids love it & shriek about getting a potato. Bless.
BE THE FULL-SIZE CANDY BAR HOUSE, and/or REMEMBER THAT HALLOWEEN IS THE KICKOFF TO THE SEASON OF GENEROSITY AND ALSO DON’T BE A DICK TO AWKWARD TEENS THAT JUST WANT A LITTLE INNOCENT FUN
said it forever and i’ll say it again for you guys in the cheap seats, it’s cool to be nice. being a huge dork is punk rock in its own way. be the full sized candy bars house at halloween. return the shopping carts. pick up that little piece of trash on the sidewalk. it’s cool to be mister rogers.
I buy both because I fucking love tiny nibbles for myself!

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist
Idk if the noise I heard was thunder, but something’s rolling in!

Idc, "4 people disguised as construction workers heisted the Napoleon family jewels from the Louvre in 7 minutes by rolling up to the second-storey window on a basket lift" is an objectively hilarious event
My coworker said, “I don’t really get hungry” the other day, and I swear I’ve been hungry SINCE. 😂
SERIOUSLY.

“We CoUlD gO tO bRuNcH but I gotta get my steps in.”

Something something pumpkin spice

If my grandma hadn’t been cremated, she’d be rolling in her grave. She’d be calling her representatives EVERY DAY.
There's just the stink of sexism around the assumption that women past like college age are all mumsy figures who don't really understand all this complicated politics stuff but want everything to be nicer.

Four bull elk took time away from mating to join the No Kings protest in Estes Park, Colorado. That’s how serious this is.
Today I went to work so I could continue to help fund orgs that do good shit.
Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking

And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

If they think this is bad wait until the tribunals for crimes against humanity.

Look I was already radicalized but shit like this when I got the 28% healthcare premiums increase letter today - just dials it up couple of personal notches.
