After reading Catch-22 🪖during April, _Persuasion_ 🛁will certainly be a change of pace for the BSky book club. (I've never read this one either.)

My favorite bit of today's selection from #catch22 is Clevinger saying that they aren't trying to kill Yossarian, they're trying to kill everyone. (It's amusing in context.)

Listening to the backlog of the @friends-table.bsky.social podcast, and once again, @notquitereal.bsky.social 's music takes my focus so I need to rewind and listen to what people are actually saying. Makes me want to take up the clarinet again. Find his Bandcamp if you aren't into AP podcasts.

Finished knitting some socks!

Hi @npr.org! We worked late tonight putting together this handy pocket guide! It doesn't address road design issues, but if we're going to educate road users, we should include drivers. It's the size of a folded business card. Print it, fold it, put it in your wallet!

Warping for the next project. First time for an indirect warp, but why make it easy? 350 ends, 12', with stripes. #weaving

'Rapture' comes from the Latin 'rapere' meaning "to seize and carry off." 'Raptor' also comes from 'rapere.' We hope neither carries you off today.

It is once again the season to get angry at people who put DISGUSTING SQUASH into things labeled pumpkin spice. All I want is the warm spices, you morons.

Strap, woven using Baltic Pickup on a rigid heddle, for use as a lanyard. I want to work a bit on selvages and keeping a more consistent width, but it will do well for its purpose once I add the hardware. #weaving #rigidheddle

Wove myself some bookmarks. #10 and #3 crochet cotton, warp-faced pickup technique. #weaving

Qualified for this year's sock madness competition, and am eagerly awaiting the round one pattern. #sockknitting #knitting 🧶

Watching _Conclave_. My face blindness is worse than I thought, because the combination of a cast of balding white men with aquiline noses and identical costuming for all is going to be challenging...

Finished knitting a pair of "warmup" socks for this year's Sock Madness. Let the competition begin! 🧶 #sockknitting #knitting

A reminder to always bring your knitting, if not just to keep your hands and mind busy, but also give others an out from the party and "curate the vibe."

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them. Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is. Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

I never thought that the Turing test was ever going to be more than a thought experiment. Now I'm the test subject every day online.
