my “not the gestapo” shirt is raising a lot of questions already answered by my shirt and if you don’t stop asking them, i’ll have you disappeared.

“I asked ChatGPT” well I asked the three Fates and the one with the scissors got very agitated when I told her you were using your one precious life thread talking to that cursed thing

Went to MD sheep and wool today and picked up my first Turkish spindle. Went with a Snyder as I'd heard only good things. @senesced.bsky.social I feel like you'd approve

baby's first navajo churro spin. the grower had their flock milled into delightfully rustic carded sliver w/ just a touch of lanolin: my favorite! I'm copying @just-raeli.bsky.social by making this a spindle project. she may have lapped me on knitting ginsan, but it may finally be my time to shine 🌟

a friend had some dyed Leicester longwool that she wanted to eventually spin (with the end goal of making gloves for her partner), but she knew it had to be blended and didn't have a drum carder

v proud of the results!

50% Leicester longwool
25% Corriedale cross
21% Coopworth
4% tussah silk

I am furiously trying to catch up to my students in time for session two of my intro to drop spindles class on thursday

we're using a kit from @akerworks.bsky.social and it's truly such a joy -- it has everything newbies need to spin & ply (not an ad, just happy customer over here)

I can't send snail mail if all of my pens are dry AND snail mail is a vital tether between me & my far flung people

feelings of isolation and despair therefore lead me to cleaning pens

drop me a dm if you want an inky love note

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

this is the chaotic patriot energy I demand to see in this country

may we all mimic the screeching calls of the bald eagle until our elected leaders listen to us 🦅
New neurodivergent achievement unlocked: I guess the breadth & length of my calls to my congressman were such a drag on his staff that Pete Sessions himself got on the phone, accusing me of nefariously trying to grind their work to a halt

That’s how I got an impromptu 25 min w/ my MoC. #ThanksADHD

pls join tazhi and I in our handspun fleece cream cardi along
we are also immediately obsessed and have since cast on. 12 rows of bottom up ribbing was all I had in me but I’m looking forward to easy squishy garter.

this yarn is 2 ply spun on my EEW 6.0 and is descended from Cloudy and Joy, a pair of Clun Forest x BFL lambs from WI.

we are immediately obsessed with the cream cardi by @aliciaplum.bsky.social so we are swatching with reckless abandon

this yarn is a traditional 3-ply spun on my Schacht Matchless and is descended from Tara, a CVM/Rambouillet cross from Sister Sheep CO

As a Jewish person it is so uniquely painful to exist in a world where Jews are the ones making lists of people for the government to target.
Jewish groups targeted Columbia grad Mahmoud Khalil — then ICE arrested him
Pro-Israel Jewish groups targeted Mahmoud Khalil, a recent graduate of Columbia University, days before ICE agents arrested him.

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time
if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

The famous communist rag, the Wall Street Journal.
(WSJ) - The world economy could face a crash similar to the Great Depression of the 1930s unless the U.S. rows back on its plans to impose steep tariffs on imports, a senior official at the International Chamber of Commerce warned.

if you have ever wondered what having ADHD is like, this about sums it up

if this sounds relatable, I have some news for you -- welcome to the spiral, you're in good (anxious) company 🌀
