My favorite new dish towel.

This is the sweetest cat I’ve ever known. When I set out dinner, she will not eat a bite until she’s rubbed herself against my arm, in seeming gratitude. She purrs the moment she’s touched., greets us at the door, and gives nose boops. It lowers blood pressure 10 pts just being in the same room. 😍
Sleeping cat curled on a turquoise fleece cover on a cat bad. She is white on her lower legs, abdomen, chest, neck, arms& face; black & grey striped down her back, tail & haunches.

I also had one who’d stay on the mattress under the fitted sheet when we put in clean sheets.

#ShowMeYourKnits

On my needles this week are two pair of thick(er) socks commissioned for gift giving. This is a combo of SockEase Dark & Stormy color paired with a solid forest green (source unknown) to invoke camo look.

I wish they’d rid us of the “view full thread” compression in the Following feed. Most frustrating when it’s one hidden post requiring a click-through.
Portions of Bluesky posts with “View fill thread” option in between.

Meanwhile, there’s money for Trump’s potty
Truth Social post from the occupant of the White House, including before & after photos of the bathroom he references: I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there! 1 ReTruth 5 Likes 贝 Oct 31, 2025, 12:02 PM 企

I can’t wait for US leadership that embraces this truth. Paul Wellstone made it broadly popular. We truly live by it in @fairfaxcounty.gov VA. Proud to live here & work with the staff who make it reality every day.

Need some #Crochet pattern hunters, Bluesky.

Years ago I crocheted a bracelet with beads & can’t find the pattern to save my life:

Yards of random beads strung on heavy cotton crochet thread.
~10 sc fdn, ch 1, turn
Pull up random loops of beads, sc, rpt across
Anybody know the source?

So darn proud of this. A wedding gift for cousin & his partner. Took nearly a month to finish & nearly covers queen bed. Hard to see the all the letters but it shows when/where they met, names & their wedding year. Recycled cotton w/smidge of poly. I hate joining!! But ❤️ these guys.

This is the Roberts court and Trump’s America. The GOP has the power to end it but zero courage to do so. Cowardly racists all the way down.
Tweet from Izzy Gordon, quoting tweets from Mike Davis & Hakeem Jeffries: On the very day the Supreme Court is poised to gut the Voting Rights Act, Mike Davis — a former clerk to Justice Neil Gorsuch and close ally of Trump's top “civil rights" lawyer Harmeet Dhillon — calls the first Black House Minority Leader a "house slave." VILE! Tweet from Mike Davis @mrddmia George Soros' house slave: Tweet from Hakeem Jeffries @hakeemjeffries • 16h Disgraceful New York Republicans Mike Lawler and Elise Stefanik have been palling around with these racist, antisemitic and bigoted "Young Republicans" for years. Their silence exposes what's always been true — the phony outrage was nothing more than performance.

The image of a much-younger-looking-than-his-age, extremely healthy man.
French President Macron in the Oval Office with the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president. Both men are wearing dark suits, white shirts and ties. Trump’s mouth is noticeably drooping on the right side. An inset pic shows a closeup of Trump’s right hand with a large round bruise. the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president wearing dark blue suit, white shirt and red tie. Trump’s mouth is noticeably, significantly drooping on the right side. His eyes appear to be closed. Photo taken during 9/11 commemoration at the Pentagon. Closeup look at the 🍊 💩 who calls himself the US president. Focused on his hands as he adjusts his suit jacket. There is a large round bruise on his right hand. He is wearing an overly-long red tie that nearly reaches the seat he’s on, a blue suit and white shirt

Large loaf
Large cinnamon and black cat with a thick black stripe down the middle of his back on a pastel green rug, all limbs tucked underneath, resembling a large meat loaf. Ignoring his family, as usual. We are mere staff.
