my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

Both patterns are available free on Ravelry.
You can also access the hat pattern directly at www.earthguild.com/products/kni.... I've used it a few times and it's simple and it works!

Listen to Scott's appearance on @npr.org tonight for a helpful explainer on the legality of the US's actions in Venezuela—and whether there could ever be consequences. www.npr.org/2026/01/03/n...
A note on today’s announcement on Maduro’s capture: insofar as the Trump admin is relying on the consent of Venezuela’s opposition (and U.S.-recognized gov’t) as an international legal justification, that would be new — not even clearly supported by the Panama precedent.

For what it's worth, this has convinced my 82-year-old father to stop watching @cbseveningnews.bsky.social. He watches every night, but is planning to switch to NBC on Monday.

Trump has now conducted 28 boat strikes, killing over 100 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

It's been a pretty grim year so I needed a mood boost. I decided to brighten up my life with these beautiful goodies from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social. Thank you!
This photo doesn't show it well, but I didn't realize how much I was leaning towards purple until I saw everything laid out together. 💜
