In honor of our two new roommates, we’ve added a bit to our annual Halloween decor. #cats #halloween #HalloweenDecorations #WindowVinyl

My husband is neurodivergent and so are both of our kids. I think I may have taken Tylenol once or twice per kid while pregnant. The kids themselves only took it with a very rare fever, they were healthy tykes. If we’re speaking anecdotally, our type of autism is clearly genetic #FuckJunkScience

All MAGA Christians please drop your address in the comments so we heathens can come check your homes for abandoned yarn tomorrow. 🧶 #rapture

Name this band with a new album dropping this fall. #cats

I don’t want to unsubscribe from the bajillion email lists the Democratic Party put me on after I donated and signed up for various events. But I don’t have the bandwidth for all of them and just delete more often than not. Exceptions…(1/2)

My office is in the basement and with our elder kid having moved back in it’s messing with my compulsion to intuit where everyone is in the rest of the house. I can’t tell which kid is walking around. But now that they started emptying the dishwasher I know for sure it’s the younger kid.

Today’s the day. Moving Elder Child (26) back home after being on their own for 5+ years due to a very sad breakup. They’re taking this opportunity to go back for a masters but feelings are so mixed. Everyone’s life is going to change dramatically. It’s going to take lots of love and patience. ❤️

People like to compare our current administration to 1940s Germany & I get that. But it feels like so much of the population is 100% aware & complicit today, cheering on the fascism. Did average Germans know the depth of the depravity going on during WWII? What’s a good website with accurate info?

It’s amazing how my creative willpower kicks into gear when I find a project someone already did that I can copy. 😳

I’m not having a pity party for a change. But I’m realizing that sometimes even the people you think care about you most aren’t really interested in putting down their own shit for a minute to listen to the struggles you have carrying yours. But I do it for them all the time.

Today I made about a dozen trips up & down stairs carrying furniture & boxes, walked about six blocks & back, drove almost 3 hours, & changed a flat in 93 degree heat on the side of the LIE. And it still felt like a holiday because I wasn’t reading the news of our country on the brink of fascism.

Instead of making a quilt, or knitting a toy bunny complete with wardrobe and carrying case, or visible mending my husband’s pants, I’m sitting here looking at photos where others have actually accomplished these things. #AmbitiousButTired

Dear NY and CA govs: even if TX backs down, do it anyway. I’m tired of playing fair against people who rig the game. Balls down, tits up, fight fire with fire. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. The senior citizens are ready to stand up to protect this country, its kids, and their future! FUCK FASCISM!!

If a YouTube creator clicks the heart on a comment I made on one of their videos, I will not unsubscribe for the rest of my life. It’s like automatic loyalty.

I got a butt cushion for my office chair and I swear my life is 17% better now.

Literal crisis. Help me. Took some photos of my face without glasses and realized my left eye is just a wee bit lower on my face than my right. That’s not the crisis. Now suddenly every face I see has one eye slightly lower than the other. Have we always been this way and I never noticed?

Thinking about how I mended the giant rip in the back of my dressing gown but only did a utilitarian job of it rather than decorative. But for something like that I will sacrifice saying “look how pretty this is!” in favor of “look how done this is!”

Like, I have to figure out how ask Google “how many girl cucumber flowers can one guy cucumber flower impregnate” without turning my search algorithm into a nightmare.

Oh my lord I just learned that because I have no bees on my cucumbers I’m going to have to pollinate them myself. I now know what a male vs a female cucumber flower looks like and how to couple them. And I feel vaguely grossed out.

I’m a horror fan. I love Stephen King books. I loved the first season of Stranger Things so much I wrote to the Duffer brothers in my one and only time using Twitter. Yet here I am 9 years and four seasons later, S5 premiers ON MY BIRTHDAY, and all I can think is “Meh?” #RuinedFranchises

My son and I picked a second batch off the blueberry bush today. We’re calling it “Round 2: Electric Bloobaloo.” #Gardening #GrowYourOwnFood

You know how some husbands look at pictures of girls when their wives are out of the room? I came up behind mine and he was looking at pictures of grills.

Salmon coated with pesto made with basil from my garden, plus pine nuts, olive oil, garlic, and salt. I measured nothing meaning I will never replicate it exactly (per usual) but OMG. So creamy and flavorful. #Gardening #GrowingFood

I think I forgot to share these when I completed them. An example of how I like my sock repairs to be EXTRA visible with contrasting yarn. #VisibleMending #Weaving #Darning #SockRepair

We picked almost a full quart bag of blueberries off the bush yesterday, so the bird netting has been a great investment. Past years I’ve been lucky to get a handful for the whole a season. #Gardening #GrowingFood

We all watched President Obama at President Carter’s funeral showing great class and restraint by chatting with Trump and even apparently joking around. I hope at their next public appearance together Obama snubs that fucker three ways to Sunday. Treason my ass.

Elder Child got accepted into their first choice grad school today, and I have three new books in my Libby app to read. So things are looking up from yesterday. 💕

Filed under: make one typo and find yourself in the visible mending feed.

I need to know, is it common to get anxiety watching talking head confrontation type content, like that guy who’s surrounded by 20 people, or am I in a minority with that? Because I literally feel like I’m having a panic attack watching it. #Anxiety #PoliticalConfrontations #USPolitics

Things that are making me feel blue today: 1. Eldest kid’s relationship breakup and subsequent plans to move back home to go to grad school. 2. The affair couple at the Coldplay concert GOD PLEASE STOP. 3. Money 4. Finished a book and don’t have one on deck 5. Something else I can’t verbalize 😐

I might just get a few of my own blueberries this year now that I’ve put up bird netting 🐦‍⬛ #Gardening

#ASMR has made me realize that straight women need salons where someone will just play with our hair properly.

My 23yo went to school in Rochester and has been craving a garbage plate. So he’s making that for dinner!! It smells very freaking good in here right now!!

PREACH 👏👏🏻👏🏼👏🏽👏🏾👏🏿

I didn’t dare to eat a peach. I ate a nectarine. It was delicious.

Today I did my strength workout, drank my protein shake, went on with my day. Around 2:00 started feeling headchey, blamed the heat, fell asleep for half an hour, oh no maybe I’m getting sick. Then remembered I DIDNT HAVE ANY COFFEE. I only have one cup a day but apparently it’s required. ☕️

I just had pasta with basil I grew, and a salad with lettuce I grew. I’m no homesteader and who knows if the tomatoes and cucumbers will make it, but this is a mighty nice feeling. #Gardening #GrowingFood

I miss the days when the public wasn’t subject to knowing every stupid thought that crossed the President of the United States’ mind.

Today, having seen #Sinners finally last night on HBO, I would pay lots of money to the theater to see it again in IMAX. Maybe in Jan/Feb 2026 in advance of the Oscars you think they’ll rerelease? #horror #HorrorMovies

Y’all do know that July 5 marks the start of Spooky Season right? 💀👻🎃 Heading to the Savers tomorrow with an eye out for Halloween decor!! (With a side benefit of washing the taste of anti-democracy dolled up to look like patriotism out of my mouth.) #PhantomsNotFascists

A moment of silence, if you please, for Pippin, the stick-fetching good boy who was Victim #2 during our yearly tradition of watching Jaws on the Fourth of July. All those fat juicy tourists and the shark had to pick him??!! Travesty.

I’m only peripherally aware of what’s going on today. Starting yesterday I put myself on a social media sabbatical. I still care, and I still want to help create change. But I’m sticking to my crafting feeds here for a while. Please don’t think I’m burying my head in the sand.

Dear Social Media Algorithm, just because I’ve started watching a bit more health and exercise related content does not mean I want you to show me every cottage cheese containing recipe on the planet. Love, Me PS cottage cheese is foul.

Waited until noon to do my strength workout. It was tough due to heat. But I learned even when you take breaks it still counts as a workout though. Overall very happy with moving to a dumbbell training routine that challenges me. #StrengthTraining #LiftWithCee

My new normal: I see a news story reposted and internally roll my eyes thinking “That was TWO DAYS ago.” The gish is a-galloping and the zone is flooded. We can’t keep up with this level of continuous disaster.

I just watched my extremely straight-laced son walk down the driveway to meet a car, then come back with a baggie in his hand. These two sentences were then spoken simultaneously: Me: Was that your weed dealer? Him: Want some banana bread? I love that kid.

Highly advise those of you who grew up in healthy households to look into the structure and environment of a fundamentalist Christian home. Because this whole “Daddy” thing is more insidious than you think. Daddy tends to use the belt to get his point across. Is that the leadership adults need?

#DNC I hope you’re paying real close attention to #NYC today. Progressives are winning races. You need to start putting your support behind the people we want and not bowing to the checkbook. And you owe David Hogg an apology.

Listen, people, unless you want to continue having to deal with my whiny ass complaining about the heat for eternity I suggest we all pay attention to climate change. I will only get whinier. 🥵
