Medium Hard Bean is a good name for a cat. Or a Feegle.

Went to a new (to us) used bookstore and they're doing a Time War book club! As a romantasy club? Like I guess technically there is both fantasy and romance I just feel like most romantasy readers are going to be a little confused. Still! Neat! @amalelmohtar.com @maxgladstone.bsky.social

“what was ‘the incident’ at your church growing up?” our priest was that one who got caught giving out half-blessings so he could skim the holiness off the top and use it to power himself up for bodybuilding tournaments. he was so ripped he couldn’t fit in the confessional

County, not federal. They're down the street from each other though.

Hey MA: ICE is in Worcester outside the courthouse today. I don't have numbers but LUCE has been called by the observers there.

My sock is coming out so cute I'm gonna scream

Have found tumblr user probablyday's #woosterposting series. In shock

I'm knitting socks while wearing socks I knit. It's nice and cozy here.

My MiL crocheted me a birthday cake

At some point I'm going to talk about how weird it is that I kind of stopped knitting for about 10 years and only recently started again and figured out what happened. Spoiler: it was trauma!

May I offer a Clarice in this trying time

Forgive me, my brain is so broken. All I can think is "Will Smith reviews Heated Rivalry"

We had brookies in the house but they're all gone now. Because I ate them. I'm still sad they're gone.

A platform I believe in

I have become more metal by volume. And this time there's a solid chance it might actually stick.

He wants to know why I'm not asleep.

Hey who's this? They're in the collage for Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2025 and my wife was like "who dressed like Raggedy Ann last year?" And I can't find an answer.

I found The Good Spindles in a box where they've been hiding from me

Just quietly drooling over how bad I want to make this shawl. The name giving huge @tkingfisher.com fairytale vibes which is not *why* I want it, but doesn't *hurt*. badsheepyarn.com/products/dus...

My hot take is that doomscrolling is fine actually, because eventually you hit something like this, and will be shaking with suppressed laughter while you try not to wake your spouse. Click through for the slow mo follow up

Last night I scared myself while emptying the dishwasher. The pocket of my long cardigan caught on the handle of the cabinet under the sink, like it always does, and I didn't notice until it pulled the door into me. I thought one of the cats had lost their minds and was attacking me. I screamed.

This is the funniest thing that's ever happened on Threads.

Today in therapy I was mostly just explaining how knitting is to me as swords is to @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social "Linden how often do you space out thinking about knitting?" Constantly. Knitting holds a unique place in crafting & history. . . "At some point I am going to have to cut you off"

I'm telling my kids this is Gormenghast

Ok I admit that "gay hockey show" should be enough to pull me in but "made by Jacob Tierney from Letterkenny and Shoresy" *really* should have been in the information people were telling me.

Sometimes cats are NOT loaves, sometimes they are BOATS. I can not and *will not* try to delineate the difference but behold: a boat.

"I asked chatgpt-" Well I asked three witches and they said I was going to be king. So there.

My enemy's book was discovered to be AI

If you're a liberal and you think trans kids even qualify for surgeries, much less that there's any real federal money being spent on them, you're an idiot and you have fucking got to stop listening to Nazi propaganda.

Helpful advice on the bathroom door in the hospital GI unit.

I always wonder if I'm eventually going to see my mom in one of those "estranged parent" things. I think at this point she has enough friends in Costa Rica that she has maybe a little bit forgotten about me? Which would be *crazy* but also pretty great

Random thought from my MiL: you never hear about a cat with insomnia.

Random headline: Dick Van Dyke says his longevity is due to one thing- and it's backed by science Me: is it being a silly billy. Because I've got that locked down.

My friend Tiff's father has been a professional Santa for 50 years. Because of a major hospitalization, he's missing the most important time of the year AND hospital bills are piling up. If you can help, you're helping great folks. www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa...

Hey yeah knitting blusky? What the *fuck* happened here? I somehow knit a closed ring stitch marker *into* the piece? This has never happened before. I am bamboozled. I have a cold and I'm dizzy and clearly too sick to be knitting if I'm out here breaking the goddamn laws of physics

I have now seen Die Hard.

Anyway if you're even remotely inclined to it I highly recommend knitting socks and I especially recommend knitting them toe up for LOTS of reasons but mostly because look how cute a sock toe is when it's a baby. Hello? That's adorable?

I saw in a random Facebook reel the other day that "knitting purists" would *never* pull from the center of a center pull ball of yarn and I have been tilting my head like a confused puppy for DAYS. Because I have been knitting for a full twenty years and have never heard anything about that?

Dear Blusky: I have finished some socks.

Thoughts on Del Toro's Frankenstein, in no particular order: 1. Ok well we already knew he was here for the monsterfuckers, this is not a surprise. 2. This movie fits in with the current generation of Disney movies- the fantasy is that your parents will apologize.

You ever look in the bottom of your bag and see something that you aren't sure about, but maybe it's something gross, maybe it's nothing, and decide that it's none of your business?

Dear @kiplet.bsky.social and @jennmanleylee.bsky.social, please confirm "Portland Sober" www.facebook.com/share/r/17Mc...

Someone is trying to convince me that Chicago is having daily "riots" against ICE and when I said protests, not so much riots they got weirdly aggressive and were like "oh so the cops are just arresting people for no reason?" And like, yeah? Probably? What are you talking about?

Who has two thumbs and a new therapist? It me, ya girl.

Anti-carceral except for whoever on my street has an entire *fleet* of leaf blowers starting before 8am on a regular basis

Also it might be an actual tragedy that we never got Fairuza Balk cast as Duella Dent

I think my hottest take is that actually, explaining jokes can be good and not suck all of the humor out of them because it's good to bring more friends into the funny part
