I need you all to suppress your doomer inclinations for like. A day. And let leftists feel hope, a scarce but invaluable commodity for any movement If you are not feeling hope, that's OK, but you don't need to post your doom and gloom and why everyone should be sad actually The movement needs hope

Locally for me: for the first time since I've lived in this city, every pick sponsored by the democrats won. Most importantly I think, the mayor and city council members we wanted won. It is a blue area. But not so much that there is no concern

DETROIT DETROIT DETROIT

I know this is niche, but at the same time, we all have a local paper. I have so many saved articles just like this Never change

STOP THIS IS STUNNING

I usually prefer crochet blankets but this knit one is so cozy looking with excellent texture, 10/10

I'm working on several 🧶 projects that I really enjoy but the past two weeks I started compulsively feeling the need make scarves* is this like how birds feel in the winter *I never wear scarves now. After moving to the midwest, I've adopted the tradition of wearing min clothing + running to car

When I first saw the "AI actor" advertised, I thought, I understand the concern, but everything I know about AI tells me the hype is lightyears ahead of the capability. They are only showing the very best pieces But I truly did not think it would be this bad. When I say watch to the end, I mean it

Are there any places, bona-fide charity or not, that need yarn? I have so much that I'm getting rid of and I'm willing to vacuum pack it and mail it in batches Honestly even if it's just to newbies who need some yarn in these tarriffed times #crochet #knitting 🧶

Yeah this will go great

I asked my gen alpha son about these. He said, from his observations as "not a brain rot person" in his school: Aura Farming, 6-7, and big back are the most common. Delulu is out, and Fanum tax is "last school year"

I really want to get into 🧶crochet lace because it seems fun and challenging but aesthetically I am less ~*fem*~ and so traditional lace patterns, while beautiful, would not really go in my home or life I'd love any suggestions

Great Gatsby is not subtle, but rich people always get the wrong message from it. Like it's about lavish partying and not an indictment of the upper class The parties, the people, Gatsby, it's all hollow, it's posturing And it is indicting about the cruelty of old money But nice party theme.

My kid didn't want me to share photos but we made him a katamari damacy costume and it was amazing

My son had several things going on this morning at school that I attended, and it was casual, but for context I I've in Ohio and this is kind of a snooty school Anyway halfway through I realized I was wearing my zip up with this on the back

OK 🧶 crochet and knitting people, I feel complicated about all these one piece cardigan patterns I feel like the pieces give the finished product structure, no? Which is especially needed in stretch garments Are they made in one piece for ease or are there other advantages, like drape

Vegetarianism needs a PR campaign Starting with Tofu I suggest that tofu be used to take down chicken, which is gross and bland in 90% of situations. It's just there to soak up flavor and tofu serves a similar purpose but is better in most ways

@mathgrrl.com hey, working on my square! Is there a way to keep the granny life generator page from refreshing anytime I move away from it?

A sleep paralysis demon but it's really just this cat who sits on my chest every morning

Democrats are spending so much time talking about the stupid ballroom because it's a toothless issue they can rail against Hey did you know the national guard is being deployed in major cities still and ICE continues to kidnap people every day, they could talk about that if they weren't babies

I'm knitting 🧶 my mom a custom cardigan, using Amy Herzog's sweater construction book to help me I keep asking my mom questions about neckline, sleeves and she's like "oh ill like whatever" Ok mom, since when?? She is blunt and particular.

Growing up being taught to not be contrary or aggressive, but at my core being very willfull and intense I frequently end up saying stuff like "I'm very sorry to be negative but on the other hand actually I'm right and that is very dumb though sorry to say it. But also listen."

I'm loving the #showmeyourknits #knittinghorrorstories, I feel like I can share my 🧶 story with an audience who will understand My cat went through some stress and it caused him to pee everywhere, and then even after solving the problem, if I didn't clean it right, he'd think it was his toilet

I accidentally skipped sleeping for a night, and tho I did sleep a little extra the following, I am still tired which I think is rude

Wait did Briana K trademark a 🧶 crochet stitch, this is too much hustle

No I still use the em dash whenever I feel like it because I'm conceited about my writing and I don't believe you would ever mistake it for ai slop. think again satan

"Ugh leftists and their purity politics, no one is ever good enough for you" OK if you want that to be a serious complaint, you can't use it about the white guy with racist receipts and a nazi tattoo, a NAZI tattoo. Like if he is on a growth journey, great, but let's just not elect this one

I can't post, my brain is not for mentally healthy people to see

When Balenciaga released "bracelet that looked like a roll of tape" A lot of us regulars were confused. It finally clicked for me when someone pointed out that brands like these are for uber-rich to cosplay as poor, but other rich people will still know. They can see it's expensive. This is that

I have an 11 yr old and I have had to cancel two dentist appts in a row due to illness and I want to tell them that it's not my fault, everyone sends their kid to school sick and he brings it to me, and of course I get it for 10 days Parents, when does this stop? Does this happen with teens too

I mean people are getting their Harry Potter tattoos covered up but this guy waited until yesterday to get his nazi piece redone, so idk man

I think the best part of being an adult is that the world is a lot bigger and it allows me to be my authentic weird ass self In school social structures, a wrong move could cause terrifying people to dictate your happiness. I've seen a single rumor mutate and turn an entire class against someone

This article has everything, everything, and it's just packed with ridiculous surfing and seal puns

I'm really enjoying crocheting 🧶 the Universe in Bloom CAL, and I'll tell you why -- it's a very thoughtfully designed pattern. It's also interesting and beautiful, but many patterns are But it's clearly been tested or worked through a lot for user ease. Even advanced crocheters care 🥺

Tech friends, I'm looking for internal security cameras, just for me, that have NO cloud service at all, just an SD card, but that aren't a massive pain to set up OK they're for my cats

I think it's unethical and should be illegal to photograph/video people without consent, and esp to share or post that content. That means anyone, including "public figures", unless it is legitimately news or during a designated time where it's stated to be ok (like an event). Privacy matters

Keep seeing people say "Do not look away" now that the ceasefire is officially broken, but fwiw I don't believe that means watching horrific videos of people dying because what is that for? Nobody asked for that, let alone the dead.

MSNBC Live coverage: @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social interviewing a pink unicorn on live television is giving me life. #NoKings

I think I'm torn between these. I agree that the no kings protest is different, the government is not arresting everyone. But I do think that being cautious is good because they could decide to target people later, not the old white guys, but whoever they hate most that day

My friend is an artist and just sent me her sign she made for today's protest

Rachel is one of the dearest people to me in the world and helping her will make the world better a hundred thousand times over gofund.me/8aa02fba5

This is not a drill!!!!! I just found out that K+C essential cotton, by far the best, softest 100% cotton that Joann used to sell, is at Herrshners. #crochet 🧶 Do you think it will be as good?? herrschners.com/k-c-essentia...

It has become a birria butterfly 1. It was not nearly as spicy as I wanted but it was still good. So more Chili arbol if I make it again 2. I think I like it more as a stew, because so much of the flavor is in the liquid. Sometimes classics are classics for a reason

"I put the pine candle next to their food bowl," my husband said Me, confused: "Huh? Does it stink?" "No, Morphy just really likes putting his face in it." I go and look. The candle is indeed sitting next to the food bowl. "I don't know if he is using it much though," he adds.

Re: the times photo of trump, credit where credit is due (to the photo editor) Because they clearly hated him, and I just imagine them over there today like, "whaaa I think it looks nice!" And among that bootlicking spread I just think that's neat

A lot of people with mental health issues talk and share things with me because I'm fairly open about mine And people with anxiety, you might need to hear this Because people will describe the most debilitating anxiety and then proceed to say how it's fine and Not That Bad Actually

Idealist is a job board for non profits Idealista is website for apartments and real estate in Spain But you know, whatever, wherever the day takes me

Today I decided to cook something big and delicious like I used to I remembered a few things 1 I still got it

Update: I went to the apple butter fest and left more confused than ever. It was incredibly hyped, but there was almost no apple butter Much to think about

Tomorrow I'm going to find out all about Apple Butter, the key to understanding the midwest and also, something midwesterners cannot seem to ever explain what it is or why it is important
