We’re making cheeseburgers for Thanksgiving this year.
No one really likes turkey that much. Cheeseburgers rock. And fuck it. There are no rules anymore.
We are all agents of chaos now.

My dad is going in for a major surgery today, and I would like to help keep his spirits up by sending him jokes while he recovers

This thread is worth reading for some excellent ideas!
My contribution to the thread is sugared cranberries: so simple, so addictive. The way they pop in your mouth when you bite through the coating! Swoon.

Froggy protest hat. I will publish this as a free pattern on Ravelry in the next week or so.
It’s worsted weight, and a very quick knit!

Looks like people do NOT like being fired, kidnapped, and starved
Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Bucket of candy (peanut M&Ms) ready to go for tonight. Even though we haven’t had a single trick-or-treater in 25 years. Maybe this will be the year! 🤞
This was my Halloween bucket when I was a kid, so I guess it’s officially vintage

We gathered for the photo and then marched through downtown Bainbridge Island to the ferry. It took 35 minutes to empty the park…there were a lot of people!

I’m looking for good sign ideas for tomorrow’s #nokings rally. I’ve got one side figured out but need something for the reverse side. Any suggestions?

Knitters, you can whip out a simple frog hat in time for Saturday’s march. All you need is some green and black worsted weight yarn, some stiff white paper card stock, and a couple black buttons.
