The crowd roared to welcome Team Ukraine to the Olympics. Luckily the crowd also roared to welcome Team USA and then booed Vance when they showed him on screen, this is the way. Thank you Italy.

Finished this up last night. I absolutely love it, and this is my daily wear hat for now. #fuckice #melttheice #dogooder #hat #fucknazis

Did any of y'all know that I sometimes make and publish patterns? This one is NOW FREE for a limited time, and works up fast in any bulky (#5) weight yarn. Go grab it, make a few, and send em off to wherever the icy-est place is you know. #freepattern #knitting #knitsky

Progress on my MTI hat. ❤️ Pattern; Melt the Ice Yarn: Patons Wool #resistance #redhat #melttheice

This shouldn't have to be said but for some of you this is your first time crafting for protesters: Make it plain. If you're making scarves or hats, use solid colors and simple patterns. Nothing identifiable in a crowd, and nothing to link it back to you. #craftivism #support

Hey #knitsky and #crochetsky Can you drop me some links below for patterns that are on sale right now with proceeds benefitting keeping immigrants safe/protesters fed/etc? I am already working on my Melt the Ice hat, but I want to see what else is out there. #knit #crochet #resist #mutualaid

Seeing LOTS of empty parking lots today while on my way to my local crafting co op/creative reuse! PROUD OF Y'ALL! KEEP IT UP. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #protest #shutitdown #generalstrike

If you're knitting some red hats right now, remember to *wear them* while you're out doing the good work and causing the good trouble. Otherwise, you're just knitting a hat and you could just donate five bucks to any group you please. #knitsky #protest #melttheice #knit

Good morning, perfectly toasted everything bagels of Bluesky! This is your morning reminder: You matter. You're worth showing up for. Drink some water. Read a good book. Get off the clock app. And as always, fuck ICE. #positivity #fuckice #youmatter #kindness

Want to join a book club where we bitch about book bans, read together, and we're accepting of everyone over age 25 and has knee and back pain? Yeah you wanna join here. #booksky #inclusive #books #reading #community #reads #bookish discord.gg/4KPZMZqawK

This is the man ICE executed for filming them. He has a cell phone in his hand, not a gun. When we learn his name, never forget it. He was a brave observer and another innocent victim of the Trump regime. #AbolishICE #MN

You don't need to look for the video. You don't need to watch it. I promise, it is enough to know that it happened.

Hey. I get it if you're trying to de-Amazon. I stopped shopping there a few years ago. They're big evil. But you know who's not big evil? Your favorite writers who're struggling cos people aren't buying their books anymore. It's OK to use Kindle to support your faves. I'm giving you permission.

So now we're only getting 1-3" of snow and some rain/sleet and...that's it? I will literally cry. Where's my snow?! I WANT MY SNOW.

Groceries: purchased Blankets: Piled Windows: Insulated with plastic Books: Stacked Coffee: Ground I am as prepared as I can be without a backup source of heat. RIP IF IT GOES OUT THOUGH.

Anyone else ready for this weekends clusterfuck of weather? #booksky #bookish #books

#threegoodthings 01/21/26 1. A sprinkling of mutual aid. 2. My 30th migraine free day in a row. 3. Incoming snow!

THIS!

Woke up to early access to my preorder of the newest Dresden files book? And I'm not leaving the house today?! I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO?! Catch me cozied under my blankets with a never ending pot of coffee. #booksky #books #reading #audiobooks #readmore #fantasy

A night full of bad dreams when I did sleep, missed medications, migraine, I'm just out of it today.

WELP I did it! Several people have asked, and so I created my own bookish discord! How about giving us a lil join? We are BRAND NEW and still under construction, but we'd love to have you! #booksky #bannedbooksky #bookish #discord #books #read discord.gg/Ajvh7VjCa

Reposting this from last year because it's still important.

"Up your capitalism with a rubber collectivism"? Doesn't have quite the right ring, we'll workshop it some more.

Proposal: The equivalent to “cruising for a bruising” for bad bosses is “croonin’ for a union.” Send skeet.

Finished! I'm super not ecstatic about it, but 🤷🏻‍♀️ #knitting #cowl #wool #meh

Remaining knitting tasks pre Ravellenics: - Frog the thrummed mittens I will never wear and don't find joy in the idea of finishing. - Finish the yellow cabled hat that I keep forgetting exists. - Organize the yarn for the granny square cardigan #knitsky #knitting #crochet #yarn #wool #knit

BLOCKING. (I am so excited to see the back side of this project) #knitsky #knitting #blocking #wool

This cowl is so close to done I can almost taste it but please if I ever suggest that I want to knit an entire project in ribbing again please smack me with a fish. Thank you. #knitsky #knitting #knit #ribbing

Okay who of my fellow #knitters are participating in the Ravellenics next month? I am craving a return to the kind of escapism that it provides, and I need the respite. #knitsky #knitting #ravelry

4" to go! #knitsky #knitting #cowl #wool #knit #cozy

Hey so this is one of my favorite books and you should go read it (because I'm also re reading it this year too).

Sharing this again to see if we can get to our goal of doing more than just barely surviving. Donate if you're able, share if you can. #mutualaidrequest #mutualaid #marequest #help #sos #share #community #survive

A very smooshy knitting update this morning! We're nearing the halfway point on this cowl and I can't wait to be able to block it and see all the beautiful ribbing lines #knitsky #knitting #hobbies #cozy

Saturday morning knitting and listening to an audiobook. Reminder from the coffee cup: You're doing great. ❤️ #knitting #positive #saturday #goodjob #knitsky

First DNF of the year: When Women Were Dragons, by Kelly Barnhill. Because why am I reading 4 sentences that say the exact same thing, just worded differently? This could have been a novella. #booksky #books #bookish #reader

Our loan payments are nearing more than our income now, and I'd like to be able to do more than just survive 2026. All payments made go directly to the principal balance of our loans. #mutualaidrequest #help #assistance #marequest #disabled #disability #repost gofund.me/4be2ccd9

Today's note scrawled in my therapy journal, 'Enabling is a form of self sabotaging your boundaries' Fuck.

Urgh, can you actually imagine being a cishet neurotypical?

Finally getting back in to a knitting groove! (Pattern: Hot Lines cowl, free on Ravelry.) #knitsky #knitting #cowl #merinowool

Good morning ppl! Confused about what vaccines are now covered & which ones are not? They are all still covered by the gov and insurance plans. YOU CAN STILL GET THEM ALL. They just want you to think you shouldn’t need to. Here is a quick info graphic by the NYT of the vaccines they are reccomending

I am friends with so many authors and I am so lucky because all y'all are just confused lil beans sometimes and it's entertaining when someone buys a book and you get excited 🤭

To whoever bought my book last month: Thank you. I woke up this morning sincerely considering quitting writing. I can keep going now, thanks to you. You have no idea what your support means to me. Sincerely, A Struggling Author #WritingCommunity #IndiePub

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

We've gotten a little help with this, but our goal is to be out of this debt by the middle of the year because other things are now compoundung. Any help would be amazing. #mutualaidrequest #marequest #mutualaid #fundraising #help
