BREAKING: every Republican has died

...but have they tried playing Jackie Wilson and saying supportive, nurturing things to the water? (This is a Maintenance Phase joke, mostly for @holliewhatever.bsky.social's benefit since the podcast doesn't appear to have a bluesky account.)

What better way to end my Spin the Rainbow quest than spinning a rainbow? Fiber: Shaniko in White Rainbow by @grittyknits.bsky.social

I visited my village homosexual and all I got was this lousy t-shirt from @ifbookspod.bsky.social

Day 8: Finished another mini batt on the spindle and started up another braid from @grittyknits.bsky.social on the EEW #tourdefleece #handspinning #dropspindle

Day 2 I spun a tiny sample that’s been in stash for forever and started on a new braid from @grittyknits.bsky.social 🧶 #handspinning #dropspindle #espinner #tourdefleece

Me, seeing a post that clearly says "reposted by @holliewhatever.bsky.social": I should send this to @holliewhatever.bsky.social

🧶Spin the Rainbow - Green 🧶 My first Shaniko wool... I absolutely went out and grabbed some more! So far, all my skeins are coming out close to the same weight. I might need to plan a large project for them all. Floof - @grittyknits.bsky.social Shaniko in Mint Rainbow #handspun

My friend found a cat that needed a lot of emergency vet care to give birth and then on the way back to the emergency vet, she found ANOTHER cat that needed emergency care. If you can help, here’s the gofundme:

They need him to be a genius because they cannot handle what it means for them to be tricked by a fool.

Start to finish-ish on this braid from @grittyknits.bsky.social (It hadn’t been wet finished, and I wasn’t patient enough to wait for it to dry) 🧶 #handspinning

A thing that i believe about myself is that I'm the perfect amount of woke. If you're less woke than me you need to fix your heart and if you're more woke than me your friends and neighbors probably find you a little fatiguing

Hello, my name is Rex and I’ll be your same-washing translator this evening: “Unhinged dingus who doesn’t know jack about jack repeats some random bullshit he was once told by another unhinged dingus in moment that should have been ignored.”

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

What’s so upsetting about this isn’t just that he’s a cat it’s that he’s the one who smokes and is broke and steals the covers and gets obsessed, this is not a good man! Stop fucking this cat!

"Radicalized by pain." And how many of us with chronic pain haven't been? It changes you, deeply, as a person, to hurt without ceasing, especially when doctors can't do much of anything for it. The only difference between Luigi Mangione & me is that my depression & anger turned inward, not out.

A lot of people don't realize that many patients with #LongCovid are now often being treated in Brain Injury Clinics, together with patients recovering from traumatic brain injury after a concussion. It's been hard to keep up with the literature, but here is a new one published yesterday #NeuroCovid

A third of us tried to save two thirds of us from themselves. They’re about to find out.

Happy New Weird Al Single Release Day! I decided to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of my last album Mandatory Fun by doing a polka medley of some of the biggest hits of the last 10 years. “Polkamania!” is out RIGHT NOW and available everywhere music is sold or streamed! youtu.be/y0ZoX4dBvwk

The landmark reversal nullifies all previously lawful forms of right and makes it very difficult for Americans to make ethical decisions or be generally decent human beings without facing criminal charges.

I have a watertight system for answering emails: I mark the ones I need to respond to as Unread, then never circle back to them.

in 2024 no link from any web page should ever open my mail program for me! browsers should handle mailto: links by copying the email address to the clipboard!!!

jail, right away

CNN article crying and throwing up about UPenn protestors cruelly bullying a counter-protestor by uhhh putting him in a chalk circle that says "designated dingus area"

reminder that "femme fatale" just means "deadly woman". so if you want to be one you dont even need to dress fancy, you can just run someone over with a forklift

my wife is currently out of town. she thinks that i bought a 24 pack of bagel bites and am having a quiet little weekend. what she doesn’t know is that i actually bought a 48 pack of bagel bites.

you: (just gave birth in a bed of straw, husband doesn’t know who the dad is, bunch of weird old dudes showed up to gift stinky cologne) well it can’t get worse me: (the little drummer boy) and-a one and-a two and-a one-two-three-four

Goddamnit, Jeremy.

Elon Musk trying to create an edgy, anti-"woke" AI bot and ending up creating one that just straight-up says "lol the woke mind virus is bullshit get rekt 4chan nerd" is funny. That man really is like if Wile E. Coyote became CEO of ACME

Most cats have boundaries and you have to earn their consent. I don't have any academic studies or anything to back this up, but in my 46 years of life I've found that when people hate cats it's usually a red flag that they have boundary and consent issues that extend to their human relationships.

Since these dental bills are extreme if anyone is so inclined to share, at abbysyarns.com through Monday you can take 30% off all spindles with coupon kiru-pushka and 5% off any travel experience with code kirunanay (which means tooth hurts in Quechua lol)

Early this summer I did an interview about knitting dot com and the tech bros behind it. Article finally published and covers the recent tensions between online communities and platforms. 🧶 https://qz.com/knitting-ecomcrew-reddit-etsy-boycott-online-community-1850864449

So a lot of people who are in unstable, abusive, and/or periodically violent living situations keep cell phones hidden for emergencies. If you know anyone in such a situation, make sure they know about FEMA's testing of its Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system next Wednesday. /1

Hello, internet. Here are some cats.

(Milton voice) Excuthe meee. I was told there would be invite codes.

What if I just continued only following these four people forever. Like a parasocial group text.
