Honestly folks.
The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring?
It’s weakness x 10.
If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter.
Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter.
That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at.
No fear=no power.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

I want to speak to something that feels really important right now
I have been in the on-line knitting community for a long time and I have been a part of and learned from a number of conversations and I think that there is a very important conversation that is Happening and needs to happen 1/3

I feel like everyone already knows that AOC is learning to knit. She's off to a great start using yarn from a small dyer, Chiagoo needles, and look at her cute stitch stoppers! One more reason to be so proud of her!
Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

I’ve got this tech edited and photographed, it’s been test knitted and named. I can’t get out of my own way to read through the edits and get the pdf done. But it’s pretty and I love it.

another top down neckline option: I almost always begin with a provisional cast on beneath the ribbing. Proceed from there, knit neck ribbing later, sprinkle decreases in 1st round if necessary. Much more stable and under my control.

another neckline tip: a loose neck can be reined in with a judicious row of slip stitch crochet on the wrong side, to pull in back neck stitches.

Polled knitters say #1 disappointment with finished sweaters is an ill fitted neckline. Wondering if together we can help.

yup, in fourth grade, Barbara B*** held a pencil *tip up* so I sat on it with my right side bum. It took the doctor 45 minutes of work to get all the pieces out and I wear the blue tag to this day, but it's now on my hip. I've grown a bit since then.
Every Gen Xer has a childhood war story about getting stabbed with a pencil and the tip broke off
