Persephone wishes you all to know that Mom-Hooman has never ever played with her with the snaky long rainbow toy in her entire LIFE and begs for a single play-play with increasing desperation. #Caturday

As someone who has feet that are…diverse? (Right foot has different toe shape and is a half-size smaller than the left, plus I have skinny ankles and very large calves) I found @kateatherley.bsky.social’s sock book invaluable!

This is the last weaving loom I will ever need to buy: a comedy in multiple parts.

#ShowMeYourKnits fave indie designer? That is a *hard* one but I am gonna say JimiKnits for her multiple sizing colour-coded into the pattern, clarity of instruction, and the first sweater I managed to knit, like, and wear 💗🧶 www.jimiknits.com/about.html

Ok but I want one pls

I am not saying it’s mandatory to add a splash of raspberry to one’s grey streaks when going to breakfast with a friend you’ve known for 35 years…but I am not *not* saying it, either 😌💗

Q: “Are you affirming you think Trump is a fascist?” TRUMP: “That’s ok, you can just say yes.” ZOHRAN: “Ok. Yes.”

After Charlie Kirk’s death, Donald Trump condemned “political violence.” So what—exactly—is calling for the murder of members of Congress who don’t share his politics?

"Forgive, don't demand accountability" is a perfect way to maintain the existing power structures and ensure that nothing changes.

Swastikas and nooses are offensive symbols of hate, not merely divisive symbols. The Coast Guard's decision emboldens those who wish to harm Jewish and Black Americans. It must be reversed. My statement with my House Bipartisan Taskforce for Combating Antisemitism co-chairs:

"We" is definitely doing some world-champion-level lifting in that sentence, Gym.

Had lunch with my adult son today...and we discussed Christian cults, ethical delimmas in video gaming, The Books of Moses by Robert Alter, and the perfect oven temperature and timing for pumpkin blondies. As one does, at least if one is lucky enough to have an adult child who is their ADHD friend!

don't reskeet book excerpts from terrible people, even to dunk on them or to hate-read. You give prestige magazines clicks, and you encourage them to do this crap more. Encourage terrible people to go to What Ever Happened To?? land

My husband and I were introduced on a blind date when I was 17 and he was 26. When he realized I was 17 he ghosted me until I was 18 which was the only proper response. At 49 and 58, in our 29th year of marriage, the age difference doesn’t matter. But it sure as hell mattered when I was underage!

The difference between an 8 year old girl and a 15 year old girl is that one can't generally get pregnant, and the other can, and child marriage is legal in way too many places in the US, so... (Also, the sexual assaults when I was 15/16 vs. when I was 3-7 were BOTH DAMAGING AND EVIL, sheesh.)

(🚨) BREAKING: As He Continues to Express Amazement at His Low Popularity Among American Jews, Trump Installs Self-Professed Nazi As Man in Charge of All Federal Properties Nationwide, An Unquestionably Normal Thing for a Man Who Claims to Love Jews to Do

No matter how long I knit (17 years and counting) I still am grateful for resources like the ones from @pattylyons.bsky.social so I can look up, real quick, how to make my left cable not be so wonky :D www.moderndailyknitting.com/community/as...

One of the oddest things about growing up in the circles I was raised in... I just assume folks already know that Doug Wilson, Hegseth's spiritual guru, has a habit of covering up for p*dos and r*pists, a long-documented history of it. But people STILL act like he is new on the scene...

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Dolly Quinn's Imitation i-Cord Bind off is so perfect for top-down hats! It's about as exact a match to the Chinese Waitress Cast-On as you can get. whatareyoumakingnow.com/tutorials/do... #KnitSky 🧶

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

Well, it's a little clearer now why billionaires are so invested in technology that produces better written emails.

What a great day for finding out that a lot of things people thought were conspiracies are actually backed up by emails that are like hey pedo, let us pedo together in pedoland on the second day of the pedo month

This week’s knitting has been for our hospital region…they are accepting baby hats again to give to each newborn. Red Heart Bitty Stripes, size 6 @kollagesquare.bsky.social DPNs, cast on 64 stitches or 8 stitches depending on top up/down, and commence playing. Quick, easy, joyful. 🧶 #KnitSky

Just when I feel like throwing away my entire country, I'm reminded that we *can* be better than whatever the orange one and his minions are currently doing.

Yes it’s acrylic…which is perfect for easy care before we get to wool-only weather! Twisted German cast on, 2x2 rib, an inch of eye of partridge, then stockinette until rapid decreases. Red Heart Bitty Stripes on size 6 needles. 🧶 #KnitSky

I know my life is weird but I overheard my son talking to a friend and a) I instantly knew he was describing kaparot for some reason and b) *sigh* Son: no no! You are only thinking “chicken Jesus” because you were raised as a Christian! Moshiach is not a chicken…nope, not even a chicken army! 1/2

Cheney was so evil that him dying actually lifted a curse

That moment when your son beckons you outdoors to watch the space oddity go whirling past…

Watching a white woman go down the Black Hebrew Israelite pipeline is certainly a form of appropriation I did not have on this year’s bingo card 😵‍💫

"At The End of the Day" has been playing in my head all week. "...There's a hunger in the land There's a reckoning still to be reckoned and There's gonna be hell to pay At the end of the day!"

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

with everyone gathering indoors during the holidays and catching things, then coughing and sputtering unmasked all over you, it's a good idea to protect yourself. also keeps your face warm and cozy in winter.

JD rebrands faster than a tech dude at a conference afterparty. Next up: He will get a revelation that he is “unequally yoked” and will either annull / remarry or, more likely, divorce and become one of those Reformed theobrogians.

Christians telling other Christians that they aren't Real Christians is one of the only true fundamental aspects of being a Christian

i mean

Men: Ban abortion Men: Tank economy Men: Cut SNAP Cis women & other ppl who can get pregnant: OK, then, ye shall not pass (yes, they called it a "*sex recession*") Men: THIS IS SO MEAN Men: THERE'S A SAD WENUS EPIDEMIC Men: WE MUST CONTROL 😾 ACCESS Unsurprising: rapist pipeline is 100% on track

I wouldn't, actually, because "Christianity" is vast, and soon as you get into the fight over who's a real Christian and who isn't you've ceded the ground to creeps like Roberts. Sure, he's a Christian, just like crusaders, inquisitors, & Billy Graham. Not my favorite kind.

There is no singular “pure” version of Christianity. Never has been, never can be. Internal contestation over interpretation of Jesus’s teachings is a baked in part of the cultural system that is the religion. Christians are what they do in the world with their texts and traditions

And this is why Gavin Newsom is not to be trusted.

Any parallel between wanting to believe keeping a Nazi tattoo on your chest for years doesn't really matter because you like what a guy says he's going to do and thinking "grab em by the pussy" doesn't really matter because you like what a guy says he's gonna do?

Note to self: Use the humidifier on your CPAP next time you take a Benadryl to combat the insomnia, lest you sleep through a nose bleed that leaves you waking up looking like a gluttonous vampire smearing your food all over your face (again)

Ordered! It will go next to the other 3 prints from Emily on my son's office wall, since MY office wall space is taken up by the giant Sara Fortis print...

Happy #Caturday courtesy of a throwback to 2020 😻 I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?" Death thought about it. CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE. #Discworld #QOTD

My son and I were discussing the horror genre just today over lunch - I hate a lot of horror films because my childhood was not safe, and life could go from normal to bone-shattering-abuse in a split second. He doesn't bring any of that baggage to his entertainment choices 1/2

"Have you considered that you are obese because you do not know how to reduce your portions?" > In the meantime, I realized on Wednesday that I'd not eaten a meal since Sunday, because my metabolic disorder that causes obesity also surpresses hunger...
