cheryl hines married rfk jr in 2014 and she knew what she chose. this is surely also not a mistake. when people show you who they are, believe them. her book is desperate PR

okay, i understand tom felton has been "cringe" for a while, i don't see his social media so i believe you. but, after seeing the hillary lin manuel panel flier going around, regular cringe is fine with me i think

really interesting that shetland seems to need to get "fair isle" a regional legal definition, like champagne. this is the equivalent of, like, "mexican week" on GBBO in terms of just . . . nobody had to do that, pick another topic or project.
My colleague @libbybrooks.bsky.social spoke to some of the knitters of Shetland about the fair isle and steeking controversies touched off by the competitive knitting show www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

make something! my "swatches" on the page are from this regular paper that i drew and/or stuck stickers on. just fully copy off my guides if you want or do something totally different. trace a favorite cookie cutter, write quotes in stripes, whatever you want.

i had such a BLAST recording this with tristan and thinking deeper about "My Neighbor Totoro" in context. the movie has so much texture and flavor of a specific place and time from real life, like spending an afternoon there while occasional fantasy scenes are playing nearby.
Studio Ghibli E8 of The Complete Catalog is live! @aetataureate.bsky.social and I go *deep* on MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO because how else are you supposed to approach such a renowned and beloved film? We do also discuss, though, how that wasn't always assured. Links 👇

they haven’t changed this, they still don’t cite a single San Franciscan who refers to Pelosi as “mom”, and it’s still weird af

if Mamdani's speech and his reverence for the immigrant nation that is the USA brought a tear to ur eye then you MUST accept that it was people of color, and a lot of queer people of color, all of them feeling some real hope for the first time in a long time, who put that man in office. that is all.

what if every time you said to yourself 'does this person REALLY need this?' you just said yes and stopped being the worst person alive
I think maybe instead of questioning the validity of every disabled person's story as an excuse to morally justify your hatred of someone, you could just flush yourself down the toilet and save us all a lot of time.

I can also say from quite a lot of experience and work that if you stay in one state for too long, the thoughts, the emotions, the experiences to process, your brain is going to very quickly and very aggressively make up for lost time against your will at an unforeseen date in the future.

do not look up or post to this person.

i see more and more posts like this. hey, regardless of what's happening in the world, your emotions can and should be as appropriate and healthy as they can be. i'm not better than you, speaking from experience, you can (and deserve to) get support with this.

hi. hello. do you use stick-on hooks to hang up towels or clothes in your home? i'm thinking of using some to make an outside-of-closet little stash zone for half-worn clothes or hanging towels. but it might be a better idea to buy a little placket of hooks that you hang in one piece instead?
