I did not anticipate so many people noticing my knitting. If I had, I would have been more consistent about which color I held dominant. In any event - I'm back home with my yarn stash and I have arm holes! #KnitSky

Sammy and I are not on fire. Our building is not on fire. But whoever put something that was on fire down the trash chute is a jerk.

My sweater progress has temporarily halted for a few hours because I’m in Denver and ran out of yarn. But once I get home… time to develop hand cramps doing endless rows of stockinette!

Sweater progress. I’ve made it to the body color, which means things are about to get really boring.

Significant top-down sweater progress for day one. I learned how to do a Latvian braid and remembered how to do German short rows.

Three different people knitting at the coffee shop this morning. Absolutely a sign to stop at the yarn shop and pick up supplies for the Fair Isle sweater pattern I just bought. And also stop across the street at Mochi Things and get pens and stickers I don't need.

you can't trick me i'm still rooting for norway

How much would a photo of my lunch with incidental feet fetch on FeetFinder? Asking for a friend.

“Why wait 15 years for the Sackler Family Cartel to pay out $6.5 billion in damages for the millions of lives they destroyed by getting patients addicted to painkillers like OxyContin when the world could have their $11 billion+ fortune now? Besides, we can’t put it all on orcas to take them down.”

Decided not to fight the rain and leave it curly instead of getting my usual blowout. Yes, I *did* resemble little orphan Annie as a child.

Tom Stoppard, playwright of dazzling wit and playful erudition, dies aged 88

The No. 16 Longhorns hand the No. 3 Aggies their first loss of the season 😱

This year for Hanksgiving we watched Forrest Gump, Apollo 13, and That Thing You Do! and I made fresh bread and some really yummy gnocchi and Brussels sprouts. Thank you, Tom Hanks.

He tries to be stoic, but I win.

Don’t know this kid.

I have only this week's especially enthusiastic insomnia and overthinking spiral to blame for learning who Audra Winter is. I'm not even *on* TikTok! The brain worms knew I was vulnerable to falling down particularly niche rabbit holes and they attacked.

I need someone to tell me when to sell NVDA.

No, a 7 am meeting to discuss having my product engineers pilot the new design system contribution model is definitely not a great way to wake up.

I’m declaring it Novelty Sock Day, but these really work for any day lately.

The coffee shop sound system and I decided to play two different Paramore songs at the same time.

A week into my contract job and they already DM-ed me on Slack to let me know I'm a top performer and they'd be happy to offer me more hours. I'm being Punk'd right now. Someone find the hidden cameras.

Found a pretty decent-paying contract side hustle. If I'm going to be exhausted, might as well profit off my fatigue.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Katie Wilson now leads incumbent Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell in today's ballot drop by 91 votes. She has closed a Harrell lead that was as large as 8 points in early results.

Keeping an eye on the direct route between Seattle and Denver (with no cancelations yet) as Thanksgiving approaches. My child *IS* coming here for the week, hell or high water.

"The Entire History of RPGs" "The Real Impact of the Silk Road | Extra Long Historical Documentary" "2+ Hours of Engineering Facts to Fall Asleep To" "The ENTIRE Story of the Library of Alexandria | History For Sleep" "The Story of Cracking The Enigma Code In 2 Hours" YouTube's algorithm sees me.

My cat welcomed me home from my work trip by howling for 20 minutes like I still wasn't there and then staring me dead-eyed in face while he puked on the living room rug. Pets are a gift.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

I'm becoming desperate to downsize my ceramics stockpile 😅 pls help 😅 mb-pottery.com?utm_source=b... #handmade #pottery

“Send three pictures that you’re not in, and we’ll see if people can identify you.” I’m just that basic.

Wait Dick Cheney invented the frozen burrito?

After a day of travel, stared down by Longhorn while waiting for a takeout order of deep-fried meat the size of a small person. Howdy, Texas.

@maisy.likesdinosaurs.com has inherited a 3D printer from @mb-pottery.com and @bialpio.bsky.social. Does this mean our apartment building is now a printer farm?

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo! I know how hard you worked for this.

The anxious brain bit that is always worried I left the curling iron on or checks every 5 minutes for my passport when traveling wishes devices that automatically update for DST would display a notification of the change so I don't feel the overwhelming need to check the stove clock to compare.

TEXAS. STOP IT. I need a win without the drama. #hookem

I Halloweened.

There are nerdy kids, and then there are kids like mine who drop things like, "Yeah, you know, I'm big into speculative evolution" in the middle of a conversation.

The usual.

The longer I spend on preparing for the entire day of training and facilitating I'm responsible for at our team onsite next week, the more egregious my current title and paycheck become.

My beast of a PC broke its undermount on my standing desk, so I've been sitting for the past few months with the PC on the ground. But I have finally adulted and acquired longer cables - actual desk space is too precious - and now I can stand up while playing Overwatch badly again.

Saw someone's Instagram post about paying their rent by selling a video in which they crack an egg over their foot and into a bowl and then use said foot to scramble the egg, and... my life choices are not the only thing I'm questioning.

Gemini: Wrestling with your demons is usually a metaphor for boring things like developing effective coping strategies and discipline. Not today though. Today Satan is going to hit you with a folding chair.

I’m doing my part! I enjoy the ritual of dropping it in a ballot box on Election Day but my skip manager, in her infinite wisdom, scheduled an onsite in Dallas for the entire UX team for the first week of November.

Can I bill the UT offensive line if these spikes in my blood pressure every Saturday do permanent damage? #hookem

I'm moving - please take ceramics off of my shelves! As I'm moving across the pond, I'll be closing my store indefinitely. I have no idea when I'll be able to re-establish a pottery studio. mb-pottery.com/collections/... #handmade #pottery #sale

Thanks for a great season, Mariners. Let's do it again next year, yes?
