My dog is a total slut for sugar snap peas #dogsofbluesky

My “lawn” in the shadier areas is more moss, baby-blue-eyes, and violets than grass. I don’t hate it #bloomscrolling

Woah, rude! I don’t remember Coke being so judgmental when I was a teenager

Not everything from the 70s is ugly. Take this charming pottery turtle planter. It was on my mom’s kitchen windowsill for as long as I can remember, now it lives on mine. Most stuff from the 70s is hella gross though, ngl

I got an email from LWV yesterday regarding the VRA ruling, and this line really resonated: “…white supremacy disguised as a US Supreme Court opinion.”

Old and awesome #dogsofbluesky #seniordog

I found this tiny bird egg, about the size of a jelly bean, in the middle of the path It’s so cute it made me squee. I hope its nest mates survived

On this #TransDayOfVisibility, I would like to give a shout out to Cassidy, the creator and head coder of Ravelry. 🧶 Ravelry is the best, most useful place on the internet for this knitter. I’m a daily user and long time admirer of Cassidy’s skills 🫡

Walking is Very Serious Business. #dogsofbluesky #dogsky

Y’all. My Gen Z son and his girlfriend went to their first protest today with us. There were many hundreds, maybe 1000, at the #nokings protest in our small town. His grandparents were there too. Gen Z, Gen X, and Boomers represent! I promised no face photos on social media, but here’s their sign:

I think I have my sign for tomorrow. #nokings

This will be one side of my #NoKings protest sign. #nofucKINGway Haven’t figured out the other side yet…maybe No Kings No War Or No more Stupid war Or Stop this Dumbass War Anybody have some good anti war slogans for a sign?

Chant idea for Saturday’s #NoKings protest: “No more! Stupid war!” It’s got a good cadence

I’m SUPER cool #WIPQueen

Post something trivial that makes you happy: New t-shirt! My ferry-riding, Puget Sound-loving inner geek loves this design so much

Knitting standup comedy! This dude is funny “I used to think that only old people knit. Now I realize that people who knit, grow old.” www.instagram.com/reel/DSQmfJe...

NO. Nope. Nyet. Unacceptable.

Scroll fast if you don’t want to see a spoiler for the Lyrical Knits “Believe” MKAL. The third clue is out, so I’m sharing a pic of Clue 2. I love it! Subtle it is not, in these colors anyway. #knittersofbluesky #knitsky

They were playing Concrete Blonde on the speakers at Trader Joe’s today. I have never felt more profoundly middle aged

This color detection game is addictive. The lower the score, the better I don’t know how Faine can see color this well. My lowest score was .0020, and that’s damn good What's My JND? 0.0020 Can you beat it? www.keithcirkel.co.uk/whats-my-jnd...

Rarely has a marketing idea sparked such joy ⛴️💙💚

I’m an old bat and a Susan (woman who votes)

What a story!

Scroll fast if you don’t want to see a spoiler for the Lyrical Knits “Believe” MKAL. The second clue is out, so I’m sharing a pic of Clue 1. I like it! Knitalongs are fun #knittersofblusky #knitsky

Ok #knitsky, what’s your opinion on posting progress pictures of a MKAL (mystery knitalong)? I’m knitting the latest Lyrical Knits MKAL, and I’m pretty chuffed with it. But not sure about social media posting etiquette Thoughts?

I don’t do much lace knitting. But I love this sweater pattern so much that I have knit it three times. It’s my go-to knitwear in the summer #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky Pattern: Boxy Lace Tee by Churchmouse

I had my first migraine induced olfactory hallucination today. And what, dear reader, was my phantom smell? Boiled hotdog water. WTF. I haven’t boiled a hotdog in years. Migraines are weird

Love to see knitting shout outs in the news! 🧶

My “Existential Dread” sliding pins arrived so quickly! Thanks @bibiblossoms.bsky.social Shown here on my #MeltTheIce hat, set to 8.5 dread level

I’ll never forget marching in the sea of pink hats in the first Women’s March in 2017. It was hopeful, joyful, and so important to know that you weren’t alone If the red hats are Pussyhat 2.0, I’m in

Holy smokes! These photos of orcas with Seattle in the background 💚💙 I’ve seen orcas a couple times on the ferry, but never this close to Seattle

I need one of the sliding pins! Probably “Existential Dread”

This thread 🧵 about community in times of darkness gives me hope “Love is stronger than fascism” is my new mantra. Thanks, whistle makers!

I hate that I feel compelled to share this. Thread about a cheap and effective protest kit to protect against pepper spray

There’s a ring around the moon!

I’ve been wearing mine! #MelttheICE

Never mind the jobs you had, tell me five classes you took in college: Cell biology Organic chemistry Animal behavior Northern Renaissance Art (and later, Italian Renaissance Art) Intro to Shakespeare

You guys! The knitted Melt the Ice hats have raised a quarter of a million dollars for Minnesota www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/mel...

This video is an excellent summary of what is going on in Minnesota. He covers a lot of topics in a short amount of time, with a dash of humor

I finally met this little pink-haired queen in person yesterday. Her name is Hamsteak

ROAR

#MeltTheICE hat complete. Pointy red hats were a sign of Norwegian resistance in the 1940s and were outlawed by the Nazis. I think this is Pussyhat 2.0. Knitters and crocheters…you know what to do.

I logged in Insta for the first time in a while. So much anti ICE sentiment! My favorite was from a local yarn shop. She is out of fucks 🧶💪 (This is @woolnwhippets.bsky.social though she doesn’t seem active here on Bluesky. Great little yarn shop here in WA)

Seed catalogs are my favorite. They are full of hope and possibility #gardening

This!

Y’all, the top 3 patterns on Ravelry right now are the red resistance #MeltIce hats! Go knitters and crocheters! Yesterday at this time there were 760 projects of the main Melt the Ice hat….today there are 1238. Yeah, this is Pussyhat 2.0 #craftivism
