Retired but not dead yet. Owned by a Corgi named Hank. The Oxford comma is the hill I might die on. Knitting and spinning yarn is my thing. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Committed bibliomaniac.

“Madame Defarge—leaned against the door-post, knitting, and saw nothing.”
Charles Dickens, A Tale Of Two Cities

A reckoning will come, history shows that it always does come for tyrants.
