Knitting With Dogs

I knit & crochet, not very well or fast, and there’s usually dogs around when I do. I’m a disabled veteran, a nerd and believe in human rights. Oh, and I hate fascists.
Rewatched Captain America: Civil War and Zemo’s words are hitting a little different today.

“I don’t know why I keep putting myself in these situations where I’m playing a character that’s so abstract to me.” - Bill Skarsgård, “Becoming Count Orlok”

Because he’s so good at it, and we appreciate his talent.

A stark difference in how the losing side acted on Jan 6th four years apart.

His death has gotten more coverage than his insurance policy holders ever did.

I just had my first Trader Joe’s experience. Why is it so chaotic? It was hella busy for it being a Wednesday afternoon and there’s stuff everywhere.

Is there a slower day/time to go because I need less chaos to look around.

Today’s small win. Hacked my knitting machine to hook up to my laptop so I can make my own designs (not patterns) and not be limited to Mylar sheets.

Okay, y’all… I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

There are some good block lists out there that will auto block MAGAs and trolls - these were the original two I found when I migrated over:

I started one to scoop up as many of the new MAGA/troll accounts as possible:

It is 2024! Why TF would it take up to 10 days to unsubscribe to emails I don’t think I signed up for in the first place?!?!?

Slow Sunday at work, so time to make a little crochet progress.

Here’s an account to block. Don’t engage, just block.

There’s a 14 week wait for Tia Leving’s “A Well-Trained Wife” from my library’s Libby collection. There’s 6 people ahead of me.

…and they don’t have any of Talia Lavin’s books.

It’s time to get that annual membership to Houston Public Library. My small town library is awesome, but limited.

Small win for the day.

Tonight, I figured out how to run patterns from the Mylar sheets that go with my knitting machine. Ignore the blue section, that’s is where I messed up originally.

I’m going to be leaning heavily into my crafts for the foreseeable future, so this machine is integral.

So I hate to tag the mods- but I sent this email about the mass deletion of Palestinian accounts over a week ago to @support.bsky.team and I haven’t heard anything back (apologies if I somehow missed an email). I’d like to ensure it will be seen by the proper people.

I was never on the bad place, but heard about BlueSky from Threads, so I figured I’d wander over and see what it’s like.

Anyways, here’s my girls. I love dogs, crafting, fighting the patriarchy, and being in my DGAF era.
