#showmeyourknits #knitsky Last week was green, this week is color work. I just finished this LOTR sweater last night. Wizard's hat and staff for Gandalf, beer steins on the sleeves for the Hobbits, Axes and Arrows crossed for Legolas and Gimli, and of course a long sword for Aragorn.

TOMORROW: Join us for a knitting & crochet circle this Saturday to escape the frigid temperatures and help us make hats, gloves, & scarves for our mutual aid hub!

“That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Does this look like a “domestic terrorist”? @KristiNoem needs to resign. @JDVance owes her son an apology. Shame on everyone.

This piece is as good as people say it is. Read it to appreciate that writing isn't just about content, but style. AI can't do this.

Anybody read any engrossing, silly, decidedly unserious books lately? Ideally with a great audiobook? Like a real solid mind-vacation-from-the-horrors read?

Finished this sweater in May just in time for a trip to Norway in June. No pattern, yarn is vintage 1990s Norwegian wool from Dale of Norway. #showmeyourknits blue week

wrote a short piece about why it's good trans ppl exist, and why fascists hate them. (it's because they human diversity and human flourishing.) www.everythingishorrible.net/p/it-is-good...

#showmeyourknits is WIP/TBF this week. Picked this pattern to use as a stash buster for some Patons worsted wool I've had for a while. As usual I'm not following the pattern (Drops design Valdres sweater) exactly and I have yet to decide what I'm going to do on the sleeves.

What is a nation supposed to do when its leader is publicly committing impeachable offenses on a daily basis and the impeachment process is utterly broken due to slightly more than half of the nation's Congress being members of a cult dedicated to destroying rule of law

Amen

Used some bright primary colors that I seldom work with

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Head cold means finished this sweater in under a week

Two finished sweaters. My "knitting as stress relief" has morphed into "rage knit while listening to podcasts"

I don't know what Trump and the GOP are claiming to celebrate today, but I know for certain it's not the life and teachings of a man who was illegally arrested and executed by the State on false charges because authorities feared his existence. Wishing you all a peaceful and reflective Good Friday.

Unfortunately true.

"members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…evasive behavior that criminal or state-sponsored hackers might do."

I could be wrong, but this sounds like an admission of a human trafficking conspiracy.

This part

Fun fact: Trump is actually spending MORE money than Biden did. Musk and DOGE are a FRAUD — their real role is shutting down parts of the government that regulate Musk’s businesses while redirecting govt contracts to Musk and other insiders.
