Cannot wait for this to land in my mail box 😍

I was lucky, I met and worked for some fantastic people. The NYC I knew and loved, died on 9/11. The America I knew died the first time Trump was elected, and it hasn't recovered. I hope and pray that it will recover and support anyone that lives in fear today. ❤️💔❤️💔

It's a scary place. As someone who over stayed a holiday visa, for close to 4 years, I can only imagine the fear, of people like me today. I loved exploring NYC, the only place I didn't like was Trump Towers. The tacky gold plating, the look at me attitude, it was childish then as it is now

OK. So in 1996, I arrived age 20, into Washington DC. On route to NYC, where I was to live for a year as an Au Pair. I was a naive Irish girl in a big city, away from everyone who knew me and my family. It was terrifying and freeing at the same time. The US of today is not somewhere I want to be.

Anyone else do the sleeves before the main body part? I prefer it as there is less weight to manoeuvre around. 🧶🧶

Meanwhile, in Ireland the independents trying to prop up the government, still want to be on the opposition benches 😵‍💫

I know what I see. And to those who say it's an Autistic man with an awkward wave, go have a long look in the mirror. I have an Autistic son, who is at the same end of the spectrum as Musk. And even he knows that salute is wrong on every level.
Here a side-to-side comparison between Hitler and Musk and their salute...

you decide if this isn't a nazi salute

Love @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social colourways and her yarn is always so soft and squishy
Who doesn’t love a neon rainbow 🌈

This is one of my most recent additions. I love using bright colours like this.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012.

Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place.

A thread.

Two sleeves finished onto the body now. Hopefully will have this #testknit finished by the weekend. Then I can move on to the next one. I am mainly monogamous when it comes to #testknit. But I have been known to have up to 5 wips on the go.

Musk always made my skin crawl. There is just something way off with him.
Musk is just that pathetic.
