my mom was so excited
Photo of a pair of hand knit socks laid flat against a white bedspread. The socks are ankle length, knit in tonal violet yarn with three thin stripes of hot pink at the cuff and a contrasting red-orange heel and toe.

anyway here are three fantasy books I’ve read and really really loved this year:
1. The Raven Tower, Ann Leckie - few novels have made me think so meaningfully about existence and god, I think about this book and its narrator all the time

I am reading another widely praised 2025 fantasy novel that I find quite mediocre. consequently I’m thinking a lot about why it’s not working for me and have concluded that some authors just write in a style where it’s extremely obvious they know about cell phones and the internet

successfully executed a simultaneous tubular cast on and two-at-a-time setup for the pair of socks I’m knitting, which will mean nothing to most people, including the recipient of these socks, but I’m feeling very 💅 about it

my favorite gaming moment this year was teaching my mom how to play rocket league and her getting so into it that she accidentally managed to kick over a full can of seltzer which then rolled under the couch

a little cup. for my little drinks.
Photo of Maddi’s hand holding up a small, squat handmade ceramic cup containing a cortado with a double heart design in the milk. The cup is glazed in a translucent mousy gray and has decorative ridges trimmed into the side.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

got to the point in the Reacher novels where Reacher says a girl described him looking “like a condom crammed with walnuts,” which is a series of words probably no one ever thinks in the same sentence and especially not in that order

just some satisfying floats 🧶knitting #showmeyourknits
Photo of a hand knit sock in progress showing a completed cuff and heel and a partially knit foot. The main yarn is a pale, variegated lavender. The cuff has a colorwork motif of a long, seventiesi-inspired wave with sharp bends in a bright purple. Photo showing the inside of a hand knit sock in progress. Tidy floats create a wave pattern in reverse.

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

Every time one of these mass murderers dies without having faced any consequence for the massacres they ordered, the lives they destroyed, the societies they razed to the ground… I realize how far we are from a world with justice. Rest in hell Dick Cheney. Your legacy is death.

my late fall funfetti pair for #socktober. I added mohair to the heels and toes for strength and softness and can already tell I’ll be wearing these socks a lot.

Luna Socks by Summer Lee in Farmer’s Daughter Fibers October Sock Squad 🧶 knitting
Photo of hand-knit socks on feet. The yarn is cream with speckles of orange, brown, aqua, and green. The socks have a uniform bumpy texture created by alternating knits and purls and extra fuzzy toes from the mohair.
