Hey everyone! Can I get 50 reposts for this program? It would mean a lot! www.jccsf.org/event/michae... #RecipesfromtheAmericanSouth

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.

At some point, things are going to get so bad we’ll have to choose someone to go to Enya’s castle to petition her to write a song so beautiful it can heal the world again.

If you are lazy like me but enjoy looking at outstanding outdoor Halloween extravaganzas, go look at these. Just astonishing.

Support your local bookstore and if that’s not possible in person, support them through Bookshop.

Happy National Cat Day! Here are my babies. #catsky #catsofbluesky

I'm having a really stressful awful day and I keep seeing these posts about how people are mad 40M folks get SNAP. Two of those people are my nephews who lost their mom 5 years ago and live with my parents and I really think I might do violence if I heard one of these comments in person right now.

This is your very occasional reminder that every month, your pattern purchases and blog visits help my small business send $100 to the local food bank. Even when you don't realize you're helping people, you're helping people. Because it's always a good day to feed our neighbors.

The worst offenders, like Walmart, decimated the locally owned and operated of the small towns they took over starting in the late 80’s. In too many places, Walmart or fast food places are the only jobs left. This will hurt rural folks so much with fewer resources available to help them.

Serving Middle TN. Find your local folks and help them out. This may be a very long haul.

Just returned from the mountains where I did little more than stare at this view for several days and unplugging my brain. I needed that.

I too just left a scathing message about being associated with this atrocity. People can quit jobs. I wouldn't be associated with this for any amount of money.

I'm not quite sure why this hit me so hard, but damn. Aren't conservatives supposed to be rioting at the destruction of such an important building? Further proof that all of that is bullshit and all they want is power. This makes me really sad. Why couldn't do this to his own tacky-ass house?

There is a whole damned novel in this image.

Turns out, bowling with @flavorflav.bsky.social really is the perfect end to a perfect Saturday. I thank everyone involved and I had so much fun! Great company, great show and great cause. Keep donating to Everytown, every little bit counts.

Back from the first half of this amazing day. It was a fabulous book release party at Audrey with @koshersoul.bsky.social with a whole hog bbq and all the fixings from his new cookbook Recipes From the American South. I will have to chase down some scuppernongs for that fabulous grape hull pie.

I got two pints of okra and some peppers from my CSA this week and together with my last tomatoes made the soup from @koshersoul.bsky.social new book, the one I told ya’ll to buy. I really mean it. Will repost the NPR article w/recipe in the comments. History worth knowing AND eating.

I do, in fact, look like I have been dragged through a hedgerow backwards. While catching the little roo for rehoming, one of the Cochins made an escape and I had to herd her through the creekbed back towards the chicken yard. I thought I had ducked some vicious brambles which sliced my head open.

And now for something completely different... bowling with Flavor Flav sounds like the right way to end a gorgeous Saturday afternoon in the Music City. But you should donate anyway because this is a very very good cause.

Just buy this book. Trust me.

I really wish I could spend the rest of the day right here with J’zargo rather than staring at unanswered emails. But alas. #catsky #weaving #fibersky

I need a 6 week sabbatical to catch up on crafting.

I settled on a pattern so now to put in an hour so so a day and hopefully have these sorted by the end of the month. #halloweencraft #weaving #fiber #fiberarts

Halloween warp is on! For whatever reason, this warp did not want to behave, but it looks pretty good now. Fibonacci stripes in cotton for point twill towels. #fibersky #weaving #handweaving

I really do enjoy weaving handspun yarn on the rigid heddle loom, even though it’s fussy. Will make an appropriate hedge witch wrap for the season. #fibersky

Hayley Williams making me cry about my hometown was not on my bingo card this week. Good grief, all my feels right here.

Just an FYI if you feel the need to grab a banned book...

Your IKEA product is your name, spelled backwards, with an umlaut. The Adnäma is a handwoven pillow cover in organic cotton that appears to match everything when you are in the store but matches nothing you own when you finally get it home.

Happy birthday to my little prince, J’zargo. Life would not be nearly as sweet… or funny with him. #catsky

Any person who has been the victim of verbal and/or physical abuse instinctively understands the body language on display in all the videos of these very very angry men enacting violence on innocent and traumatized people. These people have wanted this power for a long time.

We need more of this everywhere.

I would do this.

As I was picking up my CSA share from the farmstand, I saw a little girl select a rustic loaf of sourdough bread, pop open the wrapping and just start gnawing on it like a squirrel. I see you, kid. And totally understand.

I needed this news so much today. Thank you Mychal, you are a treasure.

Yeah, that.

10/10 no notes.

Solo games are so relaxing sometimes. My 1st solo play through of A Place for All My Books. Very cozy. 💜 absolutely adore this game and so glad I was able to get the fancy version.

#showmeyourknits Autumnal! As it was 90 today, I am seriously pining for the season to change. Here’s my favorite Autumnal socks.

I am under a blanket with one cat on my chest and one on my feet listening to Sigur Ros and omg I cannot recommend this enough when the Weltschmerz gets you. Barring cat allergies of course.

Inspired by the fearless bakers, I put together my first batch of cider doughnuts. It was a success.

Sometimes backyard archery and a roast chicken are exactly what’s needed. In that order. Followed by a cocktail and GBBO.

I think everyone needs a timeline cleanse. Here are my Cochin pullets - Amy, Jo, Meg and Beth going to bed in an orderly fashion. Unlike the 6 chaos goblins who want to sleep in a tree every night and have to be coaxed down. #chickensky

I feel like if I can just finish one project, I will be able to shake off the creative inertia. I'm 3/4 of the way though spinning enough for this shawl, so will try to get it woven this weekend and then attempt to get back to the big loom after.

I do think about that song a lot lately.

This sounds lovely.
