WIP.

For a period of about 17 years, I thought I had one daughter and one son, and then found out I actually had two daughters. It took a while to rewire my brain to think of her as HER, with her chosen name and the correct pronouns, it took a while to get to the point where I didn't risk a careless 1/?

People, QueerVC is my favorite show. One of you needs this, or you know someone who needs this.

Taking a break from the All-Shawls-All-the-Time Crochetpalooza to knock off a beanie/cowl combo today in Misti Handpainted Chunky Alpaca in the Sweetest Cookie color way. Improvised -- I had two skeins won during a Greater Philly Yarn Crawl raffle, one skein for hat, one for cowl.

Next shawl/wrap done.

Saturday handsome.

Next project in the "just use some yarn!" campaign: Quince Sparrow Shawl Hobbii Azalea in the persil colorway, which is leftover from a mandala blanket from a few years ago for a sort-of-nibling.

Elder Daughter's latest shawl, post-blocking.

Crochet us all shawls all the time with the Elder Daughter and I. This one is hers.

At the point in this project where I'm convinced I have enough yarn for just one more repeat but the remaining ball keeps doing Zeno's Paradox. At some point, though, I'll just be going merrily all g and will lose at yarn chicken.

Sharing judge of elections duties with a friend for two voting precincts in the same room. Not a lot going on for these primaries, making progress on this 'just use some leftover yarn" project.

I met my now-husband on the Internet in 1996. The big news story the week before I told my mother I was going to fly to Philadelphia to meet him in person? "Woman murdered by man she met on the Internet." My mother had thoughts.

As a UofC alum ... SAAAAME.

Holy shit this piece will melt some eyeballs. Writer argues Dems need to take drastic, even once-unimaginable tactics in response to Voting Rights Act being gutted. He writes: "Patience is the enemy now" and we have to stop asking people for it. betterdonkey.substack.com/p/the-vra-wa...

Post blocking and pinning.

First project of the "just make something with yarn in the stash and then set it aside to offer during a charity auction" is blocked and pinned in an effort to open the stitches and even out the width along the full length.

Gasps were gusped. Gabbers were flasted.

Keshet and the Hebrew Free Loan Society have an interest free loan program to help LGBTQ people who need to move out of red states with loans of up to $10k. You do not need to be Jewish. However this is a loan and not a grant. www.keshetonline.org/movetothrive/

Somebody thinks I need to just skip that second foundation paper piecing class and stay home.

Someone buy this so I don't kill my husband.

Happy anniversary to Adolf Hitler shooting himself in a bunker. 🥳

@btrwkart.bsky.social see, if you had given a speech on Saturday, you could have used this to tell everyone they were all two beers and a puppy. Some of them might not give the puppy back, though.

It's now officially 25 years since I put a ring on it (the "it" being @btrwkart.bsky.social

So I'm still worn out from the 25th anniversary party last night with 40+ of the smartest and kindest people I know. You all know who you are. Two of them have a 25th anniversary ~2 weeks after ours. There's a story behind their wedding cake and frustration with a baker who ... 1/?

If you’re against DEI, you’re a segregationist and I’m tired of folks, for the sake of politeness and naïveté, pretending the discussion is anything but that.

My preciousesses.... The spouse @btrwkart.bsky.social seemed to like the guitar pin. @peculiarityshop.bsky.social

I've tried to convince the other women litigation partners in my office that one of them needs to buy this. But maybe YOU could snatch it up first. Please. I'm begging you.
