I love when a project‘s theme can be carried through the bits and bobs. #knitsky 🧶

So appropriate that I finished this Oct 1st 🎃 This is my first colorwork and it is my new favorite (although I say that about every new thing I’ve tried with knitting😆) Shoutout to @isasaxonists.bsky.social for helping keep me sane with her special & meaningful yarn 💖 #knitsky #showmeyourknits JOY

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

I love how we're going to see 500 articles on this and the answers are just: - More people are getting accurate diagnoses - We finally have a significant number of women in medicine and they're diagnosing women and girls

If you’re too afraid to do your job, you should quit your job. If you’re too afraid to report on what’s going on because you’re afraid of MAGA death threats, you should stop being a reporter. if you’re too afraid to vote against honoring a white nationalist due to death threats, you should resign.

Just pulled this one off the blocking mats! Made with lucious yarn from @isasaxonists.bsky.social It is a xmas present, so shhhhh!🤫 Hopefully still in time for #showmeyourknits scarf week 🧶

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

Chicago folks, the Art Institute's exhibition of Elizabeth Catlett's work is open and I highly encourage you to visit. I saw the exhibition 3 times when it was at the Brooklyn Museum. You will thank me later. www.artic.edu/articles/121...

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Sometimes collaborations just slay. I've been collabing w/ @greyowlknits.bsky.social & she's got a sneak peek of her dragon mitten pattern coming Oct 11. Really honored she used my yarn. There's LOTS of history in here. Dragons, revolutionaries & more. STAY TUNED!🧶 #yarnsky #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Fascists like to break solidarity and try and weaken empowerment. Our jobs are to use creativity, our voices, and praxis to push back. Resistance fights back, and so that's what we will do. In our continued fight for liberation for all.🧶 6/6 #yarnsky #indieyarndyer #yarnlove #tariffs

✨️ATTN: USA Yarnians✨️ We are still shipping to the US. Ireland doesn't really give a shit abt Trump's tariffs, so was pretty prepared for that menace. There will be adjustments & perhaps some delays in some cases but your yarn will reach you.🧶 1/6 #yarnsky #indieyarndyer #yarnlove #tariffs

I wouldn't be a proper medievalist if I didn't do a medieval marginalia knitting project. I made this "Guardian Cowl" with Peacock Balthazar & Royal Ethiopian Pastels colorways. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #indieyarndyer #yarnsky #yarnlove #medievalsky

Our final colorway in the #BookOfKells Collection Meet ✨Seraph of Kells✨ a colorway inspired by the radiant winged figure of St. Matthew in the Book of Kells (c. 800). The figure inspiring this colorway is a winged man, representing St. Matthew the Evangelist. 🧶 1/5 #yarnsky #medievalsky

This is a masterpiece. Simply excellent www.instagram.com/reel/DMVGMIC...

Hello to good ppl everywhere. Yes, I have 3 special colorways to support 4 families in Gaza and the Sameer Project. Crafting and creativity are powerful weapons. Making beauty reminds us of what we are fighting for while showing solidarity with Palestinians. 🧶

✨Returning to the guided tour of the #BookOfKells Collection. ✨ Guess which one of the collection is already a top seller right out of the gate? This is "Kells Midnight Hunt", a glorious teal & deep navy w/ turquoise blend shifting in &out w/ a bit of faded space to mimic the wolf in the ms. 🧶 1/5

US: Just a day and a half left to get your orders in, US shipping will be closed after Tuesday 12th August! oishiny.etsy.com Just 13 pendants left in stock. If I can sell most of these, that's September rent taken care of, if I can sell out all, I can replace my dead phone. #Helpsky #💕💸 #Handmade

Here's a guided tour of the inaugural Irish Collection: The Book of Kells. Take my hand 🖐🏾 First up is this gorgeous variegated blend that flows from a muted turquoise, to soft persimmon, a sage/lichen blend & dusty mauve. There's a grey glaze to tone it down & give an antiquated look like the ms. 🧶

Welcome back to your Book of Kells yarn collection tour. I am your guide. Next up is ✨ Mossy Marginalia is inspired by a fantastical creature from the margins. It's a hybrid! This colorway draws on the deep foresty greens w/ blue undertones & a muted gold. 🧶 #yarnsky #yarnaddict #medievalsky 1/4

Dealing with law enforcement can be stressful, so it’s important to know your rights before you’re face-to-face with ICE agents. While there’s never any guarantee that law enforcement officers will follow the law, here’s what they can and can’t legally do to you and what you can legally demand. ⬇️

We spent about 800 years trying to recover from this all because some idiot emperors tried to turn a mutually-beneficial trade network into a zero-sum game for nothing more than bragging rights.

"Progressive Turnout Project" and "Stop Republicans," pummeled me with unsolicited texts, and it seems my instinct "this is a scam" was right on the money. All of these orgs and the people associated with them need to be run out of the party on a rail.

I wrote another thing for @religiondispatches.org about Chris Smalls. Demand justice. Share his name. Expose this assault. And hold accountable every coward & collaborator who chooses comfort in the empire over solidarity with the oppressed. Chris Smalls is not alone. He deserves to be seen. ✊🏾

✨CRAFTIVISM ALERT✨ I have 2 new colorways to support families & projects in Palestine. The first "Vive la Palestine" is a red, black, & green colorway paired w/ a creamy base so you can create projects w/ color pops or use it for CC work! "Falasteen" is a speckled one which will work up fab! 🧶

✨️THE BOOK OF KELLS 🧶 COLLECTION IS HERE✨️🌀 Sacred beasts, divine hues, wild warriors & more! All hand-dyed & inspired by the c.800 medieval ms. Each skein tells a story rooted in Irish art. Have fun with these! 🫶🏾 #yarnsky #indieyarndyer #yarnaddict #yarnlover #bookofkells #medievalsky

"In later life, she was physically frail and emotionally exhausted but visited the King each day, even though he no longer recognised her, was blind due to cataracts and was often delusional. She maintained the fiction of companionship even though their life together had effectively ended."

With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.

So let's be clear, the Epstein story has legs and we need to exploit its potential aggressively, AND. We all need to make sure we know the dogwhistles so we can make sure not to amplify or accidentally sound them. DO YOU HEAR ME DEMOCRATIC PARTY COMMS STAFFERS

I have such a fascination with the aesthetic evolution of Kristi Noem. The Barbification is a telling freak show for sure, but I also have so many questions about the "before" photos. Like, is she actually a Midwest Mom gone Mar-a-Lago, or was the "before" bad hair and denim jackets cosplay, too?
