Caving now means they literally did it for nothing and caused harm to people for nothing. Just absolute failure on every level.

I will cut adrift—I will sit on pavements and drink coffee—I will dream; I will take my mind out of its iron cage and let it swim—this fine October.

Now, thanks to the shutdown, funding for Medicaid + nutrition programs is on the chopping block.

#Knitsky I had a knitter come to me and ask “how can I make brioche knitting easier?”.
I realised she as starting with two-colour flat brioche, which, in my opinion, is the trickiest to learn!
I made a video sharing my step-by-step guide to mastering brioche.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.
As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.
End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

#showmeyourknits My only scarf since picking up knitting in January. I apparently skipped the scarf stage and jumped in to shawls, hats and other garments. Simple garter stitch scarf gifted to my niece. I was really pleased with the fringe and beads. Unlabeled yarn from my stash in my own pattern. 🧶
