Wonder who's paying for the US Ambassador to yacht around Italy?

Every time a government agency proposes a rule change, it is required to notify the public and accept feedback. The comment period for the USPS rule change is now open, providing you with a direct way to bring your concerns straight to the agency.

The tech geniuses can't even do tech.

"Plain Yoke Cashmere" pattern by Lena Holme Samsoe, knit in Koigu KPPPM. Learned German short rows and a folded edge hem in my first top down t-shirt. Pattern is easy to follow with clear instructions and techniques. leknit.com/shop/plain-y...

So I can find it again. Folded knit hem. #knit

They lied when they said children wouldn't be affected.

One week of AI Fitbit and I can find nothing that makes it worth the bother. I can't imagine if it was around something that mattered more than how many steps I got at the library and grocery store today.

Encouraging to read when things feels so bleak. Thoughtful writing will long outlive ambitious self-aggrandizement.

First garden grown salsa of the season. Tomatoes are from 3 year old plant that had a first harvest of 25 pounds! Tomatoes love SoCal.

Trump is what happens when a bunch of slave owners set up a government to protect their wealth by establishing elite rule through the Senate, Electoral College, and no one fixing it for 250 years

I don't vote for LA mayor, so I haven't been paying all that much attention. But here's a good list of reasons to choose Nithya Raman.

While we're being distracted by dad not going to jrs wedding, the real work of the regime is happening behind the scenes.

A mindless moment of stupid. The lyrics are comments on the poor guys post

But will they come to their senses?

Now that Fitbit uses "ai" it's ridiculous. It thinks I'm swimming when I'm knitting, and sleeping when I'm reading. And you can't delete the bad entries.

I saw a post lately suggesting that you need to wind your cakes twice. Always the sceptic, I tried it and was surprised at the results. Same yarn, different colors. Left side is wound off the swift, right side I did a second wind from the cake. I'll cake twice from here on out. #yarn 🧶 #knit

Got a text this a.m, said he was from Friends for Peace. Link led here Allies for Peace This material is distributed by Clock Tower X LLC on behalf of the State of Israel. Additional information is available at the Department of Justice, Washington, DC. www.youtube.com/@AlliesforPeace

Quick search showed who was behind this. "How do you see Israel as one of America's strongest allies" was a clue. Didn't want to admit to Brad Pascale involvement and didn't reply when asked who biggest donor was.

That didn't take long.

Easy action

California voters: you can search here if you need to know where dropboxes are located. We're a week away from the election. Better not to wait until the last day, something can always come up.

The US is run by corporations, not the people we elected. They're just placeholders to keep us quiet and make us feel like we have a voice.

This is how completely stupid our world has become.

They make it so easy!

"We want leaders in office who will advocate for survivors – and center them in policy choices. With election season underway, this is the year we exercise our power as voters to hold elected officials accountable to survivors."

California makes it easy! Vote!

Hopefully this will backfire spectacularly.

Once an Oath Keeper, always an Oath Keeper. Vote accordingly, Californians.

It's all very unusual

This administration cannot be trusted to provide the information citizens need to stay healthy and keep their children healthy. Something new is needed, where people can turn for competent medical information unbiased by religious theory, corporate profit or politician's need to get reelected.

A knitting dilemma. It's too big. Can fix that.The sleeve cap is too high. Easy to tweak.The big dilemma is the back. Colors at the bottom bug me. It's knit bottom up, so is it worth it to redo the entire back? Hmmm. Time will tell. #knit #knitsky #🧶 #noro

This guy wants to be the Governor of California. Please, please, please Californians vote! Ballots are in the mail. California makes it easy. Don't let this guy get on the ticket.

Some days the mindless repetition of weaving in ends are just how you need to spend your time #knit #knitting🧶 #knitsky #yarn #noro #kureyon

True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice. Martin Luther King Jr., circa 1954-1955 America will not have peace until all Americans experience this.

The status quo isn't holding. The US Pavilion has played out exactly as you'd expect from this incompetent administration. Now this.

There's a long story on why I ended up with pajamas from the Walmart in Uvalde TX. The quality was pretty awful, but they were 92% cotton, so the least unpleasant option on the rack. Replacing the failed elastic instead of tossing them takes a bit of the fast fashion edge off.

Top down raglan knitting technique mastered. Very basic so I could figure out how to it. Now just need to figure out how to make it more interesting.

The Supreme Court is an illegitimate institution. This remains the case.

This video got me through shaping the neck on a top down raglan. I could not get this through my head reading the pattern. She makes it very easy to understand and intuitive.

Every morning I throw my tea leaves on this gardenia. It worked.

First raglan sweater. Not sure why I never tried a raglan before. This one's bottom up, a pattern I'm inventing as I go. Very basic so I can figure out how to do it. Already have a top down in my head to try next.

"Most days I don't feel like a pioneer. I feel like someone who got handed an unexpected amount of time and hasn't decided what to do with Tuesday, let alone the next twenty years."

Repurposing a moth eaten beret. Stitching to mend the holes wasn't enough. Now going to the jar of black buttons, snipped off old clothes by 3 generations.
