See those trombones? Next fb season at Illinois there will be a cool goth trombonist in the mix! She was so excited to get the acceptance email this morning. I’m so excited for my girl. youtube.com/shorts/WtJx1...

Guys. We are booking hotels/motels for a family road trip. I have done this multiple times for our family - we are a road trip/train trip family. This week my husband is helping because I have other things going on that require my brain. +

The GOAT

Parenting is hard work but then one morning you walk by your daughter’s room and she’s learning She Bangs the Drums by The Stone Roses on her bass and it is all worth it.

You’ve been warned

Excited to congratulate myself on my screen time self control after the Bluesky outage.

Big day in our house. My first born is about to fly the coop.

It should be illegal to have a hot flash for at least an hour after taking a shower. What do you mean I’m sweaty again? No fucking fair.

Today’s listen. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

My AL team and my NL team. (I’m a Sox girl but you gotta have an NL team for a backup to keep it interesting)

Bind off complete. Did a super quick steam block just to open it up a bit. I’ll do the sleeves then fully wet block to smooth it out. I love it so far!!! #knitsky 🧶

Man. The noises made by my cervical spine when doing neck/shoulder rolls are truly shocking. At some point it seems like I’m just gonna hear a loud pop and that’ll be curtains for me.

Another 2cm or so of 1x1 twisted rib then I can bind this body off and finally block it to see this pattern in all its glory. The sleeves have color work on them too but not as much. It’s been so busy here that I just haven’t gotten much knitting done this week. #knitsky 🧶

In honor of her last day: my favorite picture of her in all of high school. She was drum major and was not allowed to goth it up in uniform but she got voted onto the homecoming court so the director let her do it for the day. Personally, I think all drum majors should wear cool eyeliner.

Last day of high school!

Happy Mother’s Day to me! #whitesox

I DID NOT want to do cardio today but Burt made me. Thanks Burt.

Started today crying a little after reading this fascinating and touching thread.

So my volunteer work today is computer type stuff and since my career was not a computer based career I get excited to feel like an office worker when the opportunity strikes. Gonna drink so much coffee…

Dionysus damn

My daughter is at prom tonight. She’s the best and her eyeliner tonight is a masterpiece. I don’t know how she does it.

I love this choice! I’ve been doing it under #knitfit but I would love to see more people in their knits on here. Great one Liv!

Today’s #knitfit is my Long Summer Cardigan by Joji Locatelli. I made this when my daughter started high school to wear to band events and tonight is her senior awards night so….🥹 #knitsky #knit 🧶 It’s a little wrinkled from the sweater pile but hopefully it’ll relax this afternoon.

Today’s #knitfit. It’s a little cool for a straight up crop top today but I love this color so over a tank she goes. Off to run errands and then just general mom stuff the rest of the day. Hopefully get some knitting in at some point today. #knitsky #knit 🧶

So much fun here.

I have a picture of my husband in a white Tshirt tucked into his tan work pants repairing the fan in our freezer saved in my phone. 😍 I called my mom to tell her about it and she was so happy for me. She jokes that her “next husband” will be handy.

I would open a knitting bar that had a morning coffee shift staffed with experts to fix whatever you fucked up after too many beers.

Having my birthday on the perfect day has always made me laugh. I’m old enough now where bdays are kinda 🥴 but light jackets are always great.

So, I don’t understand accounts that just repost stuff without even commenting on it. Just random reposts all day? With no thoughts? I mean, thanks I guess but what’s the point?

Got to 666 followers the same day my The Pope is Weak on Crime Tshirt arrived. Much to think about. 😈👹

@raygunsite.com the post office took her on a bit of a side quest but she’s here and she’s spectacular! Cheers!

What do you wear to run errands, take your 89yo friend to the doctor, and go to your daughter’s final high school jazz band concert all in one day? A hand knit vest of course! It’s made of cotton and can be worn on its own in even warmer weather. #knitsky #knit #knitfit

I’ve put a good 6cm of length on this bad boy since I busted out of my knitting slump. I’ve got one more section to finish, then ribbing at the waist. The sleeves should go quickly and then I get to embroider on her too. This is the Sucker Punch Sweater on Ravelry. #knitsky #knit #knitting

My parents and brother when I’ve got something to say in the family group chat.

Taught a 14yo how to knit yesterday and her enthusiasm has pushed me out of my knitting slump. Now I need this house to clean itself so I can sit and knit instead of do chores. #knitsky #knit #knitting

Yeah, olive oil and cheese and pastries can make you a little fat. Yeah, sunshine gives you wrinkles and wine ruins your liver and spending money on pretty things eats up your savings. But unfortunately, I've decided to enjoy life anyways

#WIPWednesday I’ve had seriously low knitting mojo for the last week or so. I love both of these projects and can’t wait to block the colorwork one to see the pattern pop. So I just need to sit down and knit and I’ll get it back. #knitsky #knit #knitting

Friends. August 11th at Sox Park is gonna be so much fun.

If you could pick any 2 songs from BTS' discography as your encore songs, which two songs would you pick? My pics: 134340 Dionysus

If I don’t have this on my tshirt when 10s of thousands of us are at Sox park with their abysmal record in August happily wearing our pope hats I’m gonna be really disappointed in you drop shippers.

Chet Hanks?

Ramona Forever

We bought the special tickets so now apparently we get a second special thing that night since everyone gets the pope hat! Gonna be fun!

Indoor football sucks. I’d take a low scoring snow game decided by a missed field goal over sterile, air conditioned dome football any day of the week. Put on layers you wimps.

wrote about the hopelessness of watching people still love Kanye West in 2026. “If you’re willing to abandon your beliefs, then those beliefs were probably never yours to begin with.”

🤐

Tickets secured. 4(!) Pope hat vouchers included.

Honestly. This is incredible. It’s a need not a want.
