I was enjoying some early morning crochet while finishing up my latest thriller audiobook read and got a kick out of the color similarities between the cover and granny square 😊 #crochet #crochetsky #booksky

Happy Intersex Awareness Day
💛💜💛💜💛
The inter rose is my favourite #rosesagainstviolence variation i made so far. It just resembles the flag so well.
And a cute butterfly, because ... why not?

A few more pics from yesterday's absurdly adorable press conference.
Zohran says hi to a grinning baby held by his mom. A mom and baby at the podium of a press conference, with Zohran smiling behind her and other parents around. Two parents dote over their baby. Zohran handles the hand of a baby.

The thing that makes me the maddest about this photo is that it 100% looks like I staged the loaf cats next to my cat intentionally and did not capture the fact that I was taking a photo of them and my cat came and plopped down like she was one of them

Happy International Repair Day!

This is one of my favourite repairs.

I’m spending the day teaching darning, which feels very appropriate!
