Just another example of his total disrespect for women.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

This week’s #showmeyourknits theme is WIPs. I’ve got a few to choose from. This is the Cheri Chevron Shawl by Ambah O’Brien. #knitsky

So given yesterday:
He's going to step up attempts to "impress" people w/golden wall coverings.
He's going to resort to even more extreme actions, out of desperation.
He--& his--will lie even more than they normally do.
He's going to try even more desperately to grift.
Just...be aware.

Salk’s response when asked why he didn’t patent the polio vaccine was to respond, “can you patent the sun?”
(NB you cannot patent the sun but you can patent anything the sun shines on which is how tech ruined innovation)
(NB you cannot patent the sun but you can patent anything the sun shines on which is how tech ruined innovation)
REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

This week is cables for #showmeyourknits I knit this shawl when I was first learning how to knit. It was challenging for me at the time and has a beautiful cable and lace edge. The pattern is French CanCan.🧶 #knitsky

This week for #showmeyourknits is knitting horror stories specifically lost knits. My first pair of knit mittens is missing and I’m not sure how they were lost. They were in the car and they may have left on the roof while pumping gas. Here is the replacement pair. #knitsky

Good question
Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

Trump destroying Eleanor Roosevelt‘s legacy (the east wing) feels a little on the nose.

Obviously this is why he lied about his intentions. He said he wasn't going to tear down any part of the White House during construction. And why the Treasury Department has told employees to stop sending pictures of the demolition out to the public.

Hats! I have plenty. This week’s #showmeyourknits theme. This pattern is my go-to hat called Bankhead, free on Ravelry and available in sizes baby to adult. I’ve made several. This one is child size made for my granddaughter.

Guess there was a price to pay for that gifted plane.
Nothing says “America First” like letting another country put an Air Force base in Idaho

This man is a danger to the health of all Americans.
RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

Oh look, vaccines work.
A new study shows that receiving an updated COVID vaccine reduced people’s risk of severe disease and death in all age groups, regardless of immunity from prior infection or vaccination

My NY Republican Congressman is responsible for this. He does not work for his constituents.
OMB Director Russ Vought just canceled $8 billion in climate funding for CA, NY, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, OR, VT, and WA.
He also froze $18 BILLION for NYC infrastructure projects “to ensure funding is not flowing based on unconstitutional DEI principles.”
How is this legal?

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach.
To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
