Wow! Fantastic piece about craftivism featuring the amazing Michele Lee Bernstein. Hats off to you, Michele!

You don’t have to share what Big Drawls said about Rob Reiner btw, and you don’t have to read it.

It starts with knowing the truth. Don’t allow yourselves to be gaslit into believing this is a real question.

Hanging out with pals and Steve Kornacki at Aftyn Behn election night party. Fingers crossed, huge crowd, NYT just took our picture 🤩

THE STATS ARE IN To all the volunteers - THANK YOU!!!! Polls are open TODAY until 7 PM. You can knock on doors, phone bank, and still get involved if able. {LINK IN BIO} Let's get this done, y'all.

48 hrs to go! Yall, we gotta get Aftyn Behn over the finish line on Tuesday. She’s doing the hard work of freedom with her run for District 7–she’s the first domino toward a flip of Congress. Donate, phone bank! @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Heartbreaking news out of Charlotte about the absolutely grotesque behavior by out of control federal agents.

I slept so well last night, first time in weeks. 🌊

The fascism playbook hasn't changed—only the speed we're flipping through its chapters.

President Trump said in an interview that aired Sunday that he did not know whether every person on U.S. soil was entitled to due process, as guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment.

Here’s an awfully good one from The Paris Review, by Jeffrey Skinner. mailchi.mp/theparisrevi...

First year for my lil grape hyacinth babies. #gardening

He slewed, slayed, crushed it last night in Nashville. Go see @joshjohnsoncomedy if you have the chance, so fun.

I keep thinking about the ancient concept of hospitality, what it means to invite people into your house. The White House is our nation’s house; it doesn’t belong to anybody but the American people. To see it abused yesterday is such an insult to all Americans. That’s not how we welcome an ally.

This is your reminder to sing Pink Pony Club again even though you don’t want to.

Massive burst of energy for knitting, it’s like I invented it or something. When’s the last time I woke up and knit in my PJs? Maybe knitting will save us all. Or at least set us up with a pile of handknits, right?

Two words: do this!

Peat bog in northern Scotland looks real good right about now.

Half a sleeve from glory on my 4 Letter Sweater. It says SURE but now I’m wondering if I should go with SURF and move to Hawaii or something.

Mesmerizing at the Cooper Hewitt: the legacy of early 19th-century panoramic wallpaper, seen through the eyes of Amie Siegel. Her quiet film landed hard for me: beware easy nostalgia, preciousness. www.thomasdanegallery.com/artists/337

What’s on your needles? I’m blissed out on a skein of Neighborhood Fiber’s mohair/silk. A long floaty river of burnt orange stockinette on a size 8 is really doing it for me.

It’s 10 degrees outside at the bird feeders, and I don’t know whether those bluebirds, cardinals, purple finches, tufted titmice, and yellow bellied sapsuckers know it, but they’re making my day. Feeding birds is the quick way to a mood boost.

This Land Is Your Land by Woody Guthrie

Podcast for today: Etta Marie Simpson Ray, a Nashville TSU student, tells us her story of being a Freedom Rider. She goes to Jackson Miss to sit in a whites-only waiting room, is arrested, takes her first plane flight ever back to Nashville to take a final exam. Incredible to hear her voice. Link ⬇️

I’m struck by how many of us have family and friends in LA. Everybody knows someone who has lost their home. Visceral moment for our country, adjectives not adequate to the task.

Perfect snow day this morning in Nashville. Feed the birds! They’re amazing lil friends out there.

Happy to be here! Looking for the knitters, writers, gardeners, Learning League rundlefolk. So much to discuss!
