OFMD mostly, sometimes plants and art. Elder. No minors please.
Decided to start a rewatch for the first time in ages. Puddled up again when all the flags went up. I’ve always loved that this indigenous elder gave Stede the name of The Gentleman Pirate. It’s a really meaningful moment I’m so grateful for. I

It’s official. Seattle has elected a socialist mayor. We vote by mail so it takes time when it’s close I’m optimistic www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Katie Wilson elected Seattle’s next mayor
Wilson took a 1,976-vote lead over Bruce Harrell. With a maximum of 1,320 ballots remaining, it is mathematically impossible for Harrell to catch up.

When your college bestie you met 46 years ago sends you something that reminds her of you and it’s perfect. Thought some of you might like it too.

I just finished this. Cried real tears and worth every one. It’s a tough go but hopeful. Quite exceptional writing. And @self-induljennt.bsky.social ‘s art is absolutely gorgeous. I actually gasped when the final drawing came into view. Loved it all.
The time is upon us...

Hey Seattle fiber friends! Saw this yesterday near me. Popped in to ask if people really came and was told it was started recently by a bartender who knits and folks are starting to come. Going to give it a shot.

I saw this post and cheered because I hadn’t realized there was a podfic and I had a longish drive home today. It’s even more delightful to hear it read, and I recommend it highly in either form. Finished up as I pulled into my apartment building’s garage with a huge smile on my face.

Cracked the code on this gorgeous yak/silk blend I’ve been afraid to ruin. Spent all day yesterday spinning so there’s a lot more on the bobbin now. Not a coincidence that I learned you can sing “Hyperfixation is making me great” to “Anticipation is making me late.” 🤭

For my knitting friends. Shared by Hazel Tindall, brilliant Shetland knitter and fastest knitter in the world. I saw some of the final work from the show and it’s clear this series has some big problems.

Thought I’d peek over at the Bad Place to see how they’re reacting to election news. Greg Abbott offered NYC “thoughts and prayers.” I told him to keep them to himself and called him a putz. It felt goooood.

Dyeing follow up. First round, nice but needed more contrast so I rebraided them and applied dark dye just to the top. Perfectly Pacific Northwest, as I’d aimed for. Infinity scarves, cotton. Gifts for teachers and friends at an upcoming knitting and spinning retreat.

Frenchie’s secular but superstitious Jewish family is expelled from Gibraltar in 1717, and he made his way from boat to boat. When he meets Nana, he makes a 6 pointed star, because his Nonna wouldn’t want him to make a cross. He’s just looking for something that feels like home.
A challenge: Pick an OFMD character who isn't Ed, Stede, or Iz. Write a headcanon for that character. Challenge mode: Pick a character who isn't those three or CJ, Jim, or Lucius. Share a ship that doesn't include that list. Extreme mode: Pick a background character. What are they gossiping about?

Ok, I’ve only read the first chapter and it’s delightful already. They had me at the rooster in a knitted scarf. 🧣

Accountability post. Finally cleared space and am set up to do some dyeing at home. Finger pleated cotton infinity scarves then braided 3 together. Applying dye by hand. Going for Pacific Northwest colors of blues, greens, and browns. Gifts for teachers and friends at a fiber retreat this weekend 🧶💖
