My little man, Mordecai. He loved those little miniature tennis balls that squeak, and being in high places. And all the blankets. He adored blankets.

Does anyone in our Bluesky #fiberarts community know any good tutorials for felting over mending on fine knit sweaters? I know it's POSSIBLE, I'm just not too confident in the Google machine these days, and while I think I did a pretty decent job, I want extra strength for my repairs.

Early #voting is in effect for Louisiana. You have LOCAL elections that make a bigger impact on your life than the stuff you see on the news.
This is your library funding, your firefighter funding, and local councils, mayors, etc.
Get your booty to the polls. Open 8:30am & close at 6pm.

So it's not freezing here or anything, but in Louisiana if it dips below 60 people are grabbing parkas. At least it's not super gloomy here, though. Sorry about the cold and wet where you are.

Okay, guys. Time for bed. We've had a long day of fighting fascism. Let's get some shut-eye so we can keep it going in our daily lives.
Hamlet is already way ahead of me. Time to catch up.

We had a lot of fun in Baton Rouge celebrating the America we want to build. Free of fascism, fair for all.

The crawfish is airing out. It was HOT today. Thanks to all my fellow crawfish, axolotls, unicorns, and that hilarious guy in the toilet costume. Humor is fascist kryptonite. #NoKings

Husbeast may be flying too close to the sun tonight. He's planning to learn how to roast a whole chicken.
We'll see how it goes.
