i love my goblin even when she’s stinky because the stink means she’s eaten her expensive prescription food that will keep her alive for two hundred years 😌

potentially niche knitting complaint: i ended up with a chiaogoo red lace circular for this project and i am so annoyed by the way the nylon cable coating grabs stitches. hiyahiya wouldn’t do this to me.

to the straight women who come home after trips to find their husbands have created a landfill: it does not have to be that way. david cleaned the whole house, lit a nice candle, got some flowers, had the first episode of the mighty nein queued up, and went out for burgers as soon as i got home.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

Accent discrimination is discrimination and it doesn’t matter who it’s aimed at. I’m always saddened at how people who would never say “I hate people from X country” are very happy to say “those people don’t speak good English”. It’s part of the same picture, but wow, no one wants to hear it.

unfortunately, comedic shopping is not making me crave mac and cheese any less
we’ve always been slightly silly about our grocery lists so we’re adapting well on this front to a newly nondairy lifestyle

pearl’s prescription wet food has a softer texture than what she ate previously, so we started calling it “fancy mush.” the past 6 months of this habit has culminated in the moment i called her to dinner tonight by saying “let’s mush the girl!”

it is so much work sometimes to be a craft nerd with an extremely specific vision (i am hand carding an entire 4oz combed top into rolags for better blended colors and the precise woolen-worsted combo i want in a knitted lace cowl)

I've been posting different things here and there as they come to me, but thought it might be a good idea to make a central thread for sharing ways you can help ppl during this SNAP crisis.

Feel free to add your own ideas, or quote with local-to-you resources, as well.
