7/Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump’s efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol

Why did not a single male reporter who were standing next to the president and the female reporter he called "piggy" say a word to the president about this and call him out then and there? Those who keep quiet in these moments are part of the problem.

No matter how hard I try, I've become desensitized to a lot of the really awful behavior we see from him. I just don't want to give him any more space in my brain. But this gross, misogynistic incident makes my skin crawl in a way that a whole lot of other items don't. Can't stop thinking about it.
I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

I love this week's prompt: FLOOF
I got a ridiculous deal on some Rowan cashmere haze a couple of years ago (Alpaca, Cashmere, Bombyx) and ended up with an enormous squishy thing that is almost too warm to wear except in the dead of winter.

It all would have been much easier if, as would have happened if we were remotely a serious country, it all ended with the Access Hollywood interview.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

Sock WIPs. There are always socks on the needles but Kitchener has to wait for quiet time when I can pay attention to what I'm doing. #showmeyourknits #knittersofbluesky #knitsky

My current WIP is giving me grief. Designing a #pishawl using a smorgasbord of Estonian lace patterns. But ... math! #showmeyourknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Trump is throwing a tantrum tonight, demanding “voter reform.” What does that even mean? He wants to stop Americans from voting because when we do, like we did tonight, we create a blue wave 🌊.

So we're showing off cables?
This top-down poncho was knitted in one piece as an exercise in discovering just how many stitches I could personally bear to cram onto a single circular needle. No pattern - I just made it up as I went along.
