Finished the #Norwegian #resistance #hat (using leftover Christmas stash🤣). In the middle of the hat, is the word "Freedom!" in morse code (knits and purls).

Just finished reading "The #Fabric of #Civilization: How #Textiles Made The World" by Virginia Postrel. Amazing story of how #fiber is woven through advancements in #culture, #industry, #math, #science, #politics, #art, #technology, #economics, #banking, and much more. Highly recommend!

Keeping him near me ... the top ring has my beloved's fingerprint etched around the band. It arrived the night before Thanksgiving although the delivery notice said it wouldn't be until Friday. I like to believe that he helped get it to me early.

My beloved Carl gained his wings on 8/24/25. He is now whole and healed and I am broken. Grieving for him is so much harder than caring for him. I'm so lucky to have found #truelove. We held hands every day since our wedding day.

Six #IRS Commissioners in less than 7 months; several who stood in the gap to #protectdata. Staffing down 25% due to #DOGE. Appreciate the leaders leading through this #crisis. How to effectively fund the govt when our financial agency breaks?!

The worst part of being a family #caregiver is the feeling that you're all alone, and no one understands.

But you're not alone, and the only ones who don't understand are the ones who have never experienced it themselves.

It's time to make ourselves heard.

"Every Living Thing" is an epic history the #scientists who tried to classify, understand, and develop a #taxonomy of our world. The book covered many complex topics, including the distorted beginnings of #racism. Not my usual genre and I liked it. 💙📚
