THE MORE YOU KNOW…💫

Here’s one of my current projects for #ShowMeYourKnits #WIP week. It’s the Scandi Bloom Cowl by Heather Best. The yarn is Anzula “Squishy” and it’s SO soft and …well… squishy! It’s going to be amazing to wear.

Yes we do!!!

Declaring peace while punting on all points of contention and signing an international agreement with no intention of following it then lying about what it said and what adversaries agreed to has apparently failed. How did that not work? So many prominent people thought it would work.

Primary the lot of them!

1. A network of purportedly progressive super PACs, spending millions in Democratic primaries across the country, is funded by a Republican dark money group, the American Prosperity Alliance (APA).

Wow! This is incredible!

Iran has suspended its delegation’s planned trip to Switzerland for the first round of U.S.-Iran negotiations following ongoing Israeli military operations in southern Lebanon, according to Al-Mayadeen, citing sources.

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

⚽️ CARTOON OF THE DAY 😕 (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

To be fair, he really needs daytime rest after being up all night posting fantasy A-I images of himself on "Truth" Social, as all presidents do.

I really do believe this is where we are heading if we don't make changes pretty quickly.

Oh my heart.

Wow. And at the same time completely unsurprising.

Hello, I'm going through a lot these days, it would mean the world if you can share this so maybe I can reach someone willing to buy or commission me something. Thank you 🙏

Every time I think I could not love this man more. We need leaders like this in all levels of government if we’re going to get a functioning country back.

Support our libraries!

Something beautiful to brighten your day.

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Here’s a few of mine. I think these qualify for World Goth Day.

What the actual hell?!?

People forgot what the economy was like after Covid.

When you do kids’ book events, the most common questions are ‘What’s your favourite . . . ?’ I always struggled a bit with these questions. Now I explain that my favourites change constantly, and also, there was no need to have a favourite anything, no need to rank things. Life’s too interesting.

Oh this is excellent!

Purple is the theme for this week’s #ShowMeYourKnits I made these mitts for my sister who loves all things purple. The pattern is “ Cat Nouveau” by Jacquline Rivera.

archeologists finding a mummy in Egypt that was buried with papyrus in its abdomen as part of the mummification process that turned out to be a part of the Iliad is such a magnificent piece of information to learn

But the Pope is weak on crime?

For this week’s #showmeyourknits cables, the “Goldbranch” pattern by Melanie Rice. I’ve knit this as a gift at least 5 times. It’s a lovely easy pattern great for someone just starting with cables. I need to make myself one!

I’m so damn exhausted by people I’ve admired turning out to be creepy shits. It seems like there is another one every week.

Cat in the Summer Meadow, Bruno Liljefors (1860-1939).

I think @mplott.bsky.social needs to see this.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

He’s telling the world he plans on committing genocide! Get. Him. Out!!!!!

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

This!

That’s an excellent question.

What he says...

Because of course they did.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Do people realize how many migrants work for ground crews and airports? Most of plane catering, cabin cleaning crews, airport shop employees that I came in contact while flying were held some sort of immigration status. Don't be surprised when they stop coming to work to hide from the Gestapo.

As I was saying, par for the course.

Just a friendly reminder that Ireland is an incredibly progressive country and despises you MAGA shitheads. <3

Yes please!

Oh yeah this is a great idea while oil is sky rocketing.

“Declined”?!? Welp the lawsuits are going to be coming.
