I quite enjoy the show (and concept of) Is It Cake?
*But* I think the cakes are barely cakes... It's so much fondant. Like, yes, technically it's cake, but not one you'd really want to eat.

I love the peace of a mostly empty Laundromat. Excellent reading time 📚
(Also, a backpack style laundry bag is game changing!)

1. It's useful that smoke detectors tell you when their batteries are dying.
2. But that beeping is very annoying.
3. Especially when it's your neighbor's smoke detector 😐

I am *begging* people to look up the actual history of the Luddite movement with it being bandied about everywhere.
They weren't anti-tech, they were anti-exploitation, anti-Industrialist, pro-worker safety textile worker radicals who disabled factory machines that were maiming and killing workers.

I'm going with last week's #ShowMeYourKnits prompt: wips. This is my oldest sock wip and my most recent cast on. The old one has been in progress (aka timeout) for almost 11 years now 😆
The newest was just started last week -- the qualifying round for SockMadness.

A (wild) monkey ate out of my hand today. It licked me! 😛🐒
It was incredible!
If you ever visit Panama, I highly recommend a boat tour of the islands on Gatun Lake! We saw 3 kinds of monkeys: Geoffroy's Tamarins, Capuchins, and Howler monkeys! (Also iguanas and a sloth)

The #CrochetAway prompt this week is blankets. I love a crochet blanket - there are such gorgeous patterns, and often deceptively simple to make. This is one I made last year (Topkapi by Juli Gittinger) and the one I'm currently working on (Lucy in the sky blanket by Vio Vieux)

Being pro-Black means celebrating Black culture, history, and progress. It’s about uplifting a community that’s faced systemic oppression, not tearing anyone else down. Supporting Black empowerment doesn’t mean being anti-white—it’s about equality and justice for everyone.
