Everyone deserves access to safety. to housing. to food. We are all worthy of care, compassion, and support. Let's make that reality. That's the world we need to build.

#P4A2026 Reasons why you, yes you, should make a P4A video this year. 🧵 1. We cannot vote for a video that does not get made. 2. Your video can help make bad things less bad. 3. Your video can help make good things happen. 4. Even if your charity does not win, ripple effects can help your charity.

The world is descending into ever more chaos and I need to focus on looking for work so my partner and I can keep paying rent and buying groceries and other such things. If anyone has some spare good vibes to send our way in favor of me finding a job ASAP, I'd very much appreciate the support. 💜

I really should have anticipated that joining multiple "We're here because" threads would lead to an unprecedented number of notifications. Not complaining, of course. Just surprised, and also surprised that I am surprised.

Final stream of 2025, and probably my final stream for a while as my focus shifts to accommodate some life changes. Grab your projects and hang out with me so we can end the year on a high note! [https://www.twitch.tv/melodyofwoolves](www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...)

I keep wanting to be more active on BlueSky but I've been mostly off feed-based social media for the last two years and I barely remember how it works. What's a person to do?

Flashback post and yep, still our favorite.

this is wonderful

Yes, what is possibly the biggest and most important project of my life happened because @hankgreen.bsky.social said a weird thing about boobs. Absolutely honored to be a part of this work.

Just a little stream today, because I have the sniffles and the stuffed up head. Gonna knit on this cowl either way, though, so maybe you can keep me company? 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

The brioche cowl I started last week has been a lot of fun to knit, so we’re doing more of that today! Whether you join me in the chat or take advantage of the chill vibes to get some things done, I’d love to see you there. 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Yes, that’s right, I’m playing with yarn on stream again! Come hang out, chat Mercury Retrograde shenanigans, or just enjoy the chill vibes and do what you need to do. I’ll be here regardless! 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Today I’m live with Leafiefest, a celebration of streamers in Courtney Visser’s community of Leafies. I will be mending a carrot. Join us to find out what that means! 🪡🥕 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I’m running out of active knitting projects so today on stream I’m trying to pick up a scarf I started 6 or 7 years ago and haven’t touched in at least 3 years. Will it be easy or absolute chaos? Can I even remember what pattern I was using? Only one way to find out! 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I wasn’t quite able to knit a hat in four hours last week, so I’ll be finishing it on stream today. Maybe we’ll have time to work on something else as well! Bring your projects or just your gorgeous selves and accompany me on this crafting adventure. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Closing out my birthday month with one final stream for the Team Holocene Fall Festival! I will be attempting to knit a hat from start to finish in under 4 hours. Will I pull it off? Probably not, but that won’t stop me from trying! www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

I have *four* ongoing projects (knitting, sewing, mending) that I’d like to finish as soon as possible. Can I finish all four in one afternoon stream? Let’s find out together at www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Celebrating my birthday on stream today by finishing some projects, mending a favorite sweater, and, if everything else gets done, maybe starting something new?? Come say hi, cheer me on, and maybe finish some things yourself at www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Playing Genshin Impact today. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Kicking off my birthday month celebrations with, well, more of the same. More knitting! Join me as I work on this blanket that I might even finish this month (almost exactly a year after starting it.) Wouldn’t that be an excellent birthday present? www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

After another month of faff and red tape, I have finally finished moving and am ready to start streaming again. Join me as I try to remember how knitting and the internet work. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Today I'm playing Genshin Impact on stream because it's Summer Event time! Let's see what fun nonsense is coming for us this year. www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

We’re #knitting on stream again! Today I’m working on a pair of socks I last put down in 2019 because my knitting needles broke. It’s a bit of a daunting project to pick up 6 years later, so I’d love to have your company in chat while I’m at it! 🧶 www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Knitting and chatting about all kinds of things over on Twitch again. Come hang out, if you're so inclined! www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Haven't been on Bluesky much but I'm still streaming on Twitch... sometimes. Anyways, right now is sometimes. Come by and keep me company while I knit! www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Beltane is upon us: a time of becoming, of desire. What better time to be finalizing the editorial for a literary journal devoted to The Devil tarot card? This is a body of work remembering its wildness: fecund, molten, and unrepentant. It will be available in early Fall 2025. More updates soon.

This is incredible

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

USAID staff are working closely with implementing partners to reassure them that they will in fact be paid for costs incurred as a result of the pivot toward humanitarian programming-- outside the scope of the original contracts. But WHO WOULD TRUST US NOW? 🧵END

Gratitude and respect for these perseverant, dedicated campaigners who’ve carried the baton through every storm and battle - your integrity, passion, and tireless ethic bring hope, even in the darkest of times. You are the heartbeat of #TimeFor5. Thank you for never giving up. 💛✊

To be clear, this is not questionably legal—it flies in the face of Congress' role in mandating appropriations, and they need to enforce that. No one should be in favor of these horrendous proposals. I just spent five minutes writing a short script and calling my reps. I'd love you to join me 🧡

It's been a busy/tired couple of weeks but I'm back to twitch with more knitting today! I'm also *moving* next weekend, so come hang out and support the moving fund if you can! www.twitch.tv/melodyofwool...

Did you know that I’m appearing in a new anthology of queer tarot writing? It’s edited by @mxcassandrasnow.bsky.social and is gonna be sooooo good Preorder your copy today! bookshop.org/p/books/taro...

Spotted in line at @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social’s #EverythingIsTuberculosis book event in Indianapolis. I love nerdfighteria.

I wrote a review of @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social 's new book, Everything is Tuberculosis, which I loved very much and which comes out on Tuesday. medium.com/@kenny.hanna...

Tarot is a robust language using only 78 "words", but with placement and syntax that lends additional context. Any good language can tell stories, make poems, and even sing songs. Here is how you sing "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba using tarot cards. #TarotSky

A federal judge ordered six federal agencies to rehire thousands of probationary workers fired under Musk’s government-cutting initiative. Judge William J. Alsup ruled the firings unlawful, carried out unilaterally by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM).

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Marco Rubio wants us to think that letting babies get HIV is a core national interest of the United States

When you need to differentiate some cookies in your freezer and you're still not over that one joke your friend @danofsteele.bsky.social made in his movie ExMas

Every time a career lawyer is pushed out, you can assume they were told to do something illegal.

In case you missed it in the recent @tbfighters.org newsletter, we now have a letter template you can send to your government officials, or ambassador to the USA, if you live outside of the US. Ask that your government stands up for global health! docs.google.com/document/u/0... #TBSky
