I am always so disappointed to click on a blog post and then there are no pictures, when it's very clearly a visual thing I am looking for. Endless examples, but currently searching for symmetrical knitting increases and decreases and why don't you have pictures of what they look like on your blog??

Around three years ago I reached out in the #WatReg Birds FB Group asking if anyone wanted to start a queer birding club. The response was great and now we have an awesome, thriving #queer #birding community in KW. Biweekly trips with no less than a dozen attendees. Community carpool. Great vibes.

Ruined my own day being sad about my stolen suitcase but hey what are the hashtags that give me a slice of a chance anyone nearby might see this and keep an eye out? #Kitchener #DTKitchener #WatReg #DTKLove ? My apologies to the petty thieves that we've failed you so, you deserve better <3

all this chatter about Hank Green/SciShow & knitting reminds me that sometimes even saying the wrong thing is important if it gets a conversation going :)

At the Red Raccoon event last weekend, Priya let me ramble for way too long with my ideas for how to fix this knee... and then, even more impressively, fixed it!!! Woooo 🦝🪡❤️
Finally got around to mending my pants.. pretty happy with how they turned out, thanks @worthmending.com for the advice!

Come to Victoria park and get expert advice from @worthmending!
I was going to do something basic to fix a hole near the knee on a jersey fabric pant, but now it’s going to look much better and last longer with her help. This is far more helpful than the 1h I spent on YT looking for a fix :)

My headphones keep disconnecting from bluetooth today & it reminds me of the time in university I was working in a busy computer lab, so popped headphones on (probably listening to Do Make Say Think or Godspeed or something kinda ambient to help drown out the group chatter)

Seriously though, what's the deal with raw milk? Why is everyone talking about it? Join us for part 1 of our two part series where we, too, talk about it. This week we dive into what the world looked like before pasteurization, how it came to be, and the growth of the anti-pasteurization movement.

Since when do segments get cancelled due to “pushback”on factual content? 4 yrs after 140 newsrooms signed a collective letter against the harassment of their most vulnerable journalists that was ironically propelled by Rachel,me & Erica Ifill. What chilling message is being sent to journalists?
I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom.
If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
