Damn, I'll miss her.

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

If you're wanting to support indigenous creators today, a place i look at often is a website called: ᐋᓃᓐ aaniin. It's an online marketplace that hosts a variety of artists' works! (They even had a popup store recently in Toronto!) www.aaniin.shop?srsltid=AfmB...

Chanie Wenjack's death sparked the first inquest into the treatment of Indigenous children in residential schools. While you reflect on this National Truth and Reconciliation Day, take a moment to learn his story.

Monday mood.

It's the season. #FarmhousePumpkin pattern by Sarah Stearns. #CrochetAway #pumpkins #CrochetSky 🧶

High school teachers who teach English: there are so many figures of speech in this article. Worth studying this work of art in class? I know you probably can't because it is so politically slanted, but the choice of words in this article is inspiring.

FFS!

Brilliant! Release the Epstein files.

All over the world, there are young men who just want to kill: they seek a permission structure wherever it's convenient; doesn't matter much whether they pretend the permission comes from Islam or 4Chan, since the shooters have no real commitment except to violence.

What a weird-ass Rapture. Only the Constitution disappeared.

#Halloween is coming. Spooky pillow cases are happening. #SewSky #SewAndTell 🧶

Its not really cold enough for the winter storage box, but with the dry summer we had, a lot of apples are coming down early, so I picked what came off easily, and here we are. #SummerApples #apples #garden

Fucking hell

Today was a step in the right direction with Disney reinstating Kimmel. I hope the sane Americans see that they have a lot of power when they unite. Way to go, friends! Keep it going.

J 'adore ce fil.

My 2016 Subaru is sick - she may need a new transmission. That's outside of my budget with winter approaching! To pay for it, I'm offering a 15% discount in my shop with the code Clunker15 . If you can't make a purchase, please consider sharing, reposting, or liking to drive traffic. 🧶❤️ #knitsky

Those who don't know their history, repeat it.

This. Every time someone tries sth that's not immediately perfect. Stop it. It's defeatist.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

For people who are either purposefeully dense or just angry about the wrong things. It's NOT about kids. It's about authoritarianism. My government rolled out a verification act that collectively punishes everyone. I do NOT agree with shit like that.

Step one of rsisting: "Commit to knowing what's going on." Educate yourselves. Don't know where to start? Get a library card. Chat with your local librarian.

I love #motifs, and it all started with the #GrannySquare. The options are endless. I give you the Warrior Princess modeling her latest sweater. #CrochetAway #CrochetSky #DogsOfBluesky 🧶

AI being "a stack of consent violations in a trenchcoat" is the best metaphor yet. Adopted

#PSA: You cannot afford to be #unpolitical, because every decision made, with or without you is #political, and will hit you sooner or later, whether you know how it happened or not. This happened because this government doesn't give a shit if you die giving birth on a kitchen table.

Mo' apples. Please hit me with your favourite apple recipes, #foodsky #apples #fall #garden

I have swapped out the cottons and linens for yak silk. #OMG These scrumptious creams, browns, and olives just scream #fall to me, and the yarn (#PrettyString) has such a halo. Pattern is #FreeSolo by Melanie Berg Yes, I knit the sleeves first to avoid Sleeve Island. #ShowMeYourKnits #knitsky 🧶

Yes! My point exactly. It's driving me nuts to see people still trying to "reason" this regime out. The un-reason is their goal.

Hot damn.

This is so fucked up.

All your snugs are belong to me. #saluki #sighthounds #DogsOfBluesky #TimelineCleanser

The man had many insights into life that I enjoy!

The US is currently answering the question of "How could the Germans just let the atrocities of the Third Reich happen?"

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. Blankets 2. The promise and excitement of a new knit 3. A really good cup of coffee 4. Burying my nose in the hound's fur 5. The scent of apples in the air on a crisp morning

Sadness. I'll have to watch "Three Days of the Condor" again, my fave of his movies. Failing that, "The Sting". 👌With Newman, of course (still too soon). #RobertRedford

Canada, we have so much to protect. The US is showing us every day what life could be like under nowadays' con party. This isn't your father's conservative party. They are so close to the extreme right that they are unrecognizable from 20 years ago.

"Smart People Don't Like Me": An Analysis of Right-Wing Grievance Politics (2026)

Shooting Kirk was an atrocious thing to do, just like the other 61 shootings in the US that day, which left 19 dead in total. Gun control must be part of the solution. Will Republicans ever get it? This was one of their own against one of their own; that should open their eyes.

Go, knitty!

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle
