Good news/bad news: The area I visited on vacation last week has several nice yarn shops / I visited 3 of them and some of you now have a smaller selection of yarns at those shops after my visit.

Pets are wild, man. There's just this little dude or little lady living in your house, being a whole ass creature, living their little lives and following the tune of a song you'll never fully understand. It amazes me every time I look at an animal.

Looking at the list of donors to trump’s vanity ballroom project, trump’s name is nowhere on the list despite claiming that he was providing personal funds (much like his alleged charitable giving in 2016; look up Fahrenthold’s reporting). With Trump it’s always SSDD. www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

Excellent movie summary on TCM:
Dracula Has Risen from the Grave
(1968) The vampire count (Christopher Lee) bites a tavern waitress and a monsignor’s (Rupert Davies) niece (Veronica Carlson), then falls on something sharp.

Working a Sophie scarf, I have too many stitches to leave on a dpn (sts want to jump off when I put it down), but not enough stitches to keep my circular cord from twisting up. So I’m working with the circ and 1 dpn, only putting it down when it’s on the circ. Much less stressful!

I am so uncool I thought this was an H. P. Lovecraft reference.
A reminder that I have "Arkham" embedded in my name.

There are certain people at a concert - and you know who you are - who never manage to get to their seats before the lights dim. Trust me when I say that everyone in your row would prefer to see the band they paid good money to see and not your ass shimmying in front of them.

Winter is approaching and I'm considering purchasing a Lenny Kravitz scarf. The Chicago winter has broken the spirits of many. I want to lug around a big ol blanket and call it clothes. I am prioritizing comfort this year and that means wearing a comforter to work.

Ready for the ballgame. Very different vibe here from last week’s outdoor knitting, will refrain from headbanging to the pre-game Metallica songs since pointy knitting needles and head-banging don’t mix.

When The U.S. Government Tried To Replace Migrant Farmworkers With High Schoolers
In 1964, a program that brought migrant Mexican laborers to the U.S. ended. So the U.S. recruited American students to pick crops instead. When they saw their living conditions, strikes ensued.
