My current #knitting work in progress #wip - finally found a use for my favorite yarn by #tsukimountain... Working in rows for a sweater is torture tho. Glad to finally be knitting in the round 😅

She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

Pancake update because we need something bright in this capitalist, fascist hellscape: she does high fives for foods.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant “This is a very dangerous tool in the hands of an out-of-control agency.” www.404media.co/inside-ices-...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

This is infuriating. The FBI is covering up for the ICE murder. This is obstruction of justice.

🚨 The White House is now actively covering up a murder.

Southern pals, I'll see you at the Books & Bewitchment Book Tour in February! With a new event added! And if you're in the NW, I'll see you in March! This cozy witch Romance is out 2/3 and is up for preorder now, and I'll have fun swag. Should I bring my taxidermy squirrel for emotional support?

Please ignore my laundry and the general chaos but I finished #knitting my third sweater today! It's the #badideablouse done in #knitpicks aloft mohair. It's currently blocking and I'm super jazzed to wear it this spring! And I'm now addicted to sweaters so that's fun!

This polling data is really important, not least because it is a sober reminder that the government in power in DC does not make policy by public opinion poll. The other party that might want to hold power ought to think hard about what this means.

remember when google used to celebrate hiring artists to create the google doodles and how none of the artists ever showed their ass like this that is not knitting. at all.

I guess AI isn't going to replace knitting anytime soon

E-books are reading. Comics are reading. Genre is reading. Fanfic is reading. Text-based games are reading. Audiobooks are reading. Braille books are reading. Non-fiction is reading. Picture books are reading. There is no single way to read, nor is any reading style more worthy than another.

ANYWAY, HAPPY NEW YEAR, FRIENDS AND READERS AND FELLOW WEIRDOS *holds up the carcass of 2025 to let 2026 know we are without mercy, so it better be on its best goddamn behavior*

This made me cry in the best way.

You want these

Easy to see the AI industry flailing — each new iteration introduces something altogether more deranged and useless. They’re desperate to convince you of use cases that simply don’t exist. “A stapler who predicts your stapling needs!” What the fuck who needs that, just reach for the stapler jfc

Marriage Chipotle Boobs .... Hm. 🧐

Google + ICE = IBM + Nazis

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

Pancake Update : grandpa got her (and her brothers) an exercise wheel for Christmas. We're working on training and I think she's going to be using it by the end of the week. She also has figured out how to steal her brothers' food, hence the wheel 🤣

Your daily horoscope: Today you will feel like a Christmas ham - moist, glazed, and spiralling.

I hear there is a wave of people coming from twitter? I have a starter pack of non-AI cat accounts that post their own images and use alt text. go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

Oh, what CALAMITIES may come -- in August, 2026.

It's 9F outside with 50mph gusts and snow flurries. But inside I have 3 kitties, my knitting, and XFiles.

So today I accidentally locked my neighbor out of his house when bringing in a package for him and now I have another moment my brain will make me relive right before I fall asleep for decades to come.

Gift link, probably the funniest thing the Wall Street Journal has done this year.

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

"Think not of the books you've bought as a "to be read" pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood." - Luc van Donkersgoed
