The rainy season has fully begun in Seattle and Ed’s having a hard time with it. Stede knows how much the battle jacket comforts Ed so he’s wrapped him up in it. Now they’re watching Wellington Paranormal and giggling. Thank you @baladria.bsky.social and @ghostalservice.bsky.social for my boys💖

I’m so excited to read this❤️‍🩹. These two have all of my heart.

Decided to start a rewatch for the first time in ages. Puddled up again when all the flags went up. I’ve always loved that this indigenous elder gave Stede the name of The Gentleman Pirate. It’s a really meaningful moment I’m so grateful for. I

It’s official. Seattle has elected a socialist mayor. We vote by mail so it takes time when it’s close I’m optimistic www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Liz, thank you so much. You actually pushed me to make a better graphic for this. 🧡 🧡

When your college bestie you met 46 years ago sends you something that reminds her of you and it’s perfect. Thought some of you might like it too.

I just finished this. Cried real tears and worth every one. It’s a tough go but hopeful. Quite exceptional writing. And @self-induljennt.bsky.social ‘s art is absolutely gorgeous. I actually gasped when the final drawing came into view. Loved it all.

It’s here! It’s here! It’s here! Thanks @tightenupmate.bsky.social for organizing it🏴‍☠️💖

Hey Seattle fiber friends! Saw this yesterday near me. Popped in to ask if people really came and was told it was started recently by a bartender who knits and folks are starting to come. Going to give it a shot.

@amladydragonfly.bsky.social Just wanted to make sure you saw this 💖

I saw this post and cheered because I hadn’t realized there was a podfic and I had a longish drive home today. It’s even more delightful to hear it read, and I recommend it highly in either form. Finished up as I pulled into my apartment building’s garage with a huge smile on my face.

Cracked the code on this gorgeous yak/silk blend I’ve been afraid to ruin. Spent all day yesterday spinning so there’s a lot more on the bobbin now. Not a coincidence that I learned you can sing “Hyperfixation is making me great” to “Anticipation is making me late.” 🤭

Grocery store roses are extra lovely when they’re a little tired and it’s been raining all day 💐

For my knitting friends. Shared by Hazel Tindall, brilliant Shetland knitter and fastest knitter in the world. I saw some of the final work from the show and it’s clear this series has some big problems.

This person took this when they called the race

Thought I’d peek over at the Bad Place to see how they’re reacting to election news. Greg Abbott offered NYC “thoughts and prayers.” I told him to keep them to himself and called him a putz. It felt goooood.

It’s nice to feel hopeful for a change, right? Mazel tov #ZohranMamdani My hometown did well tonight 🎉

Dyeing follow up. First round, nice but needed more contrast so I rebraided them and applied dark dye just to the top. Perfectly Pacific Northwest, as I’d aimed for. Infinity scarves, cotton. Gifts for teachers and friends at an upcoming knitting and spinning retreat.

Frenchie’s secular but superstitious Jewish family is expelled from Gibraltar in 1717, and he made his way from boat to boat. When he meets Nana, he makes a 6 pointed star, because his Nonna wouldn’t want him to make a cross. He’s just looking for something that feels like home.

Ok, I’ve only read the first chapter and it’s delightful already. They had me at the rooster in a knitted scarf. 🧣

Update Now I have to be patient and wait for tomorrow to see what I got.

Accountability post. Finally cleared space and am set up to do some dyeing at home. Finger pleated cotton infinity scarves then braided 3 together. Applying dye by hand. Going for Pacific Northwest colors of blues, greens, and browns. Gifts for teachers and friends at a fiber retreat this weekend 🧶💖

YouTube gave me this new to me gift tonight. 10 minutes of Taika and Michael F. eating snacks and sipping spirits and being silly. It’s an absolute delight if you like Taika relaxed. youtu.be/kUNa42-VPc4?...

What’s a favorite photo of Rhysie that makes you smile no matter what? I brought a copy of this for him to sign at airport con and he said it was one of his favorites so I adore it even more now.

Some really lovely things in here. Perfect gifts for wintertime birthdays and holidays. 💖

2 years ago, we watched the emotional Mermen. I had the probably unique experience of watching it at midnight, in the ICU. Earlier that day I had coded, had surgery, visited the gravy basket, and received a gift Cameo from Samba. I’m so grateful to be here with you all, and for our show that we love

“You wear fine things well.” Ed’s version, sound wave. Thanks @thesearethekids.bsky.social for the embroidery that inspired it. I love that it starts with the pause as he was psyching himself up to say it❤️‍🩹

For @shraaamp.bsky.social , who I miss 💖 Ayako Miyawaki (1905-1995) was a renowned Japanese textile artist celebrated for her intricate appliqué work, which embodied a profound connection to Japanese culture.

This is marvelous! Read it🤗

Tomorrow I’m getting a tattoo, two years and a day after returning from NYC,partly for ECCC, partly to return to my hometown after being away for a long time. I was taken off the airplane by paramedics, saving my life. I’m so grateful to be here. I didn’t plan for the tattoo to mark anything but 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️‍🩹

Stop scrolling and post two characters who bring you happiness (or don’t, I’m not your mum) (deleted last post because I think it was art and not a photo)

My bestie was having a rough time of it, so I sent him some flowers. Then saw an almost identical bunch at my grocery store so brought them home. Thought I’d share a bit of beauty with you all.

My brother texted me the Mariners were close to going to the World Series. I put the game on and texted him “I better not jinx it.” Bam, home run, Toronto goes ahead and stays there. My apologies to the city of Seattle 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️.

The anniversary of Izzy’s singing is so moving, especially knowing what we know. I imagine it was hard for Con meeting so many of us at NYCC the weekend just before. I wish we’d already seen him sing. Kindest gent ever. youtu.be/4g48k6UpYZE?...

Oh Seattle, your skies 🥹. For @ghostalservice.bsky.social

#NoKings #Manhattan

In the spirit of the witchy season, I have a new spell going. I figured out I can put a tea light in my Ed & Stede candles. I’ll do tea lights until we get season 3 and then I’ll light them properly in gratitude.I am old and can play the long game (thanks to the zillion artists too numerous to name)

Neighborhood No Kings Rally. Thousands downtown, glad for the many hundreds who turned out near me. (Also saw a former student from 30 years ago when I was her art teacher who said she never stopped knitting since I taught her so that was🥹)
