note to self: don't just start knitting with ready caked yarn, rewind it first. 8 rows to go and now I'm dealing with yarn barf 😭

#knitting #KnittingProblems

knitting mojo is creeping back. finished a Dotted Rays using scraps from an advent calendar (ignore the face, I am not sleeping well) and now have a Romi Hill shawlette on the needles using a gradient yarn. Next will be Cadjeaute slippers as I've almost worn through my last pair!

Really want to join the conversation in here but have had a truly terrible week, losing my Best Girl unexpectedly at the age of 11. Thought we would have more time with her.

:)

We do believe that should be *our* ham and pease pudding stottie, Mother

When writers’ rooms don’t know what to do with a female character and just shrug and say “Let’s just give her a baby?”, this has real-world consequences because it reinforces the idea that “all women = mothers”.

Trying to summon the energy to exit the car and go into the office. Need much more sleep and someone to pay me to do that.

i am shitfaced and wish to see your cats. reply a photo of your cat to this post and i will go "yes, amazing!"

repost this so i will see even more cats

someone posted 'bsky is a retirement home for elder millennial posters' and I've never forgotten it

"fog comes / on little cat feet" that's nice Carl. tell me, are you accustomed to a twelve-pound animal doing parkour on your liver at four a.m.

There is a terf mute list available, you can use it to auto mute a whole list of the assholes.

Currently following anyone who appears to not be a TERF or who has cats prominently featured. This *will* be a nicer place than the other one.

Just finished watching the race - totally unsurprisingly the FIA have closed the loophole for future races after allowing RB to take advantage of it this time. Got to give RB credit, they saw it existed & they used it but ffs. It's just so painful seeing how on it they are compared to the rest 🏁

Introduce yourself using 3 books you love 💙📚

Oh. My. God.

It's him. It's her. It's them!

Initial impressions:
💜 lots of fibre 🧶 people!
💜 no gifs - going to have to start using my words instead of using Martin Sheen/Richard Schiff/Nathan Fillion
💜 not much F1 - this might be a good thing, nobody with a profile pic of MV telling me to "cry more"
💜 can't see any ads - is this real?!

randomly got a invite code on a @jortsthecat.bsky.social bird app thread (if you're in the US, specifically the Bay Area I know some Jorts merch you may be interested in) v happy to be here, still finding my feet.
