Focusing all my anxious energy on learning how to C2C crochet

An adorable trip hazard but a trip hazard still ⚠️😹

This ring at the #MetMuseum caught my eye, because I know the hieroglyphs for #Tutankhamun's throne name (prenomen) ... and there it was in the center of this cartouche. Neb-kheperu-re, 'Lord of the Forms of Ra'. Purchased in Cairo in 1921, the year before Tut's tomb was discovered. 🏺 1/ 📸 me

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

Did the Navy hospital boat make it to Greenland yet?

Nobel Peace Prize, my ass.

Spare a thought for patriot Oakshott who moved to Dubai avoid tax and stated that Dubai was safer than London. Im not sure she'll be able to cope with the cognitive dissonance of her hero Trump illegally bombing Iran preciptating retaliation on local US bases in the Gulf including in Dubai.

We went on a mini road trip today and Cher had a blast. She got to zoom all over the woods and attempted to clothes line her dad with the leash a few times. Good times lol. #corgi #corgicrew #dogsofbluesky

Sundays are for splooting. #corgicrew

Mooncake ate food ON HER OWN! Y’all have no idea what a milestone that is! Due to her autoimmune disease in the past it’s messed with her feeling hungry (hence us needing to hand feed). But with the medication she’s on (thanks to all of you & @gofundme.com ), she’s actually eating on her own!!

Ahhhh! Double knitting in progress! I really hate picking up stitches. Please don’t make me have to redo this. Praying to the knitting gods. We have a buttonhole! Not a fan of where the pattern suggested I place it 🤨 But I am not redoing this, thanks. 😂🙈. This is cumbersome.

Hi friends. I’m running the LA5K next Saturday to raise money for @hofoco.org. We provide nightly meals to 300+ Angelenos, plus medical care, and social and housing services. Govt funding has been cut and we need help. Thank you for your support: fundraisers.hakuapp.com/molly-knight-1

Thank you to everyone who joined our canvass launch in Skokie this morning!!! We literally had too many people to fit in a single frame. And a special shoutout to our friends at Common Power who flew in from all over the country to help us knock doors in the cold!!!

Rep. Vikki Goodwin for Lt. Governor of Texas! A 4-term progressive fighter, Rep. Vikki Goodwin has consistently put working Texans over corporate interests. In the Legislature, she’s championed strong public education, healthcare, housing, & critical water & energy systems. Vote on March 3.

The costs of this Iran war debacle will likely be more than the cost of extending the ACA health insurance subsidies. If you asked Americans, which do you want: another war in the Middle East or lower health care costs at home, is the margin 90 to 10? 95 to 5?

I’m not sure I am doing the magic loop thing *correctly* but it seems to be working? So I’m not gonna worry too hard for my first shot at knitting a sweater

Fighting the Sunday scaries!

A favorite photo from long ago. Bonus points if you can name the car. Argus A-Four, Fujifilm Neopan 100 Acros, 2010. #believeinfilm #filmphotography

2018 throwback.

It’s a beautiful Sunny and warm Sunday, so this pic I took Saturday fits my perspective and attitude. Eastern Bluebird male (Sialia sialis). Wilson, NC #bird #birdphotography #mybirdshots

The Department of Education has hung a massive banner honoring a racist college dropout who built a lucrative career out of targeting professors for harassment

Chris Murphy: "This is a disaster. It's illegal."

Voice of a writer of noir detective novels: The House Finch returned to the scene, feathers ruffled and wary, hunting for clues among the scattered seed. The world beyond the glass wasn’t talking, but this alleyway was full of secrets. #birds

Here's a nice sunset from San Diego, from my porch just east of downtown.

Well when you put it THAT way.

Chris Murphy: “He's the most corrupt president in the history of our nation — This is a disaster. It is illegal. And the president is obligated under the Constitution to come to Congress & ask for an authorization of military force”

I’m usually away at this time of year, invariably missing the moment when the primroses start blooming at the bottom of the garden. It is difficult to think of a plant that carries the hope and freshness of spring the way a primrose does. Worth staying home for.

A pair of socks finished today. Excited to be next repairing two pairs of socks my aunt gave me. They were actually knitted by my late grandmother many decades ago! I shall be adding new feet 🧶

Chris Murphy: "We need to stand up for the American citizens that ICE is murdering, the kids they're terrorizing. They should stop this illegal war and they should stop ICE from terrorizing our communities. We should demand they do both things."

Released into the wild! Found him in the bottom of a steep sided recycling container. Not sure if he could jump out but then how did he get in?! #frog

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Kaine on Fox: "The president can act to defend US against imminent attack without congressional approval. But if you're going to initiate war, you need Congress. The president not only did not come to Congress, he acted without even notification to the vast majority of us. This is an illegal war."
