Taking a little break from social media for now. Not sure if the post, (that I reposted here), I mentioned was blacked out the other day on IG was from a glitch, the hashtags of banned comedians or the image itself. Either way it’s taken up too much energy, apologies if I got it wrong.

Caption: “All I said was stress-knitting looks a lot like regular knitting.” Well it does. Don’t mess with knitters(I’m a stress-knitter and regular knitter, so really this is just me talking to me).
