I knit stuff and read a lot.
Oh, and there's an occasional acting gig, too.

I read 1984.
And Fahrenheit 451.
And A Brave New World. And The Handmaid‘s Tale.
And The Giver.
And The Road.
And The Lottery.
And The Parable of the Sower.
And The Hunger Games.

I know what I’m seeing.

Did anyone else see the "Chipocalypse" AI slop from Cheeto Mussolini and think it was about Chipotle? No? Just me, then.

After sitting idle for six months due to my broken wrist, the Ripple Lake #Cardigan by Joji Locatelli is back in my hands. Progress is slow but steady. I don't expect it to be finished before cold weather arrives, but maybe by late spring.

Still wearing the brace part-time, but I was able to finish two face scrubbies and two bath poufs regardless. I have two more skeins of this cotton blend to use up. Guess what my friends are getting for Christmas this year?

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

I don't know who to credit either, but all y'all need to see this glorious #representation.
#queer #nerd #resist #stolenmemes
Picture: In mid-air, a non-binary muscular figure with short hair, wearing a form-fitting blue bodysuit with red trim and a red Superman-style S on the front, sporting red knee-high boots and a flowing rainbow pride cape, against a blue sky cityscape backdrop with a Pride flag. Text: Dunno the name of the artist nor will I share, because it's a MAGAt cartoonist who drew this to make fun of wokeness, and accidentally created the single most pro-Queer nerd shit ever.

I realized yesterday that I could probably #crochet while wearing the wrist brace. Today I tried it, and success! I'm stitching a lot slower than usual, but I'm so happy to be playing with #yarn again. ❤️

Rumsfeld and Powell get a pass because they're dead, but why aren't the rest of these folks raising Cain about the #Russian #appeasement going on with the current #administration?

Screenshot of tweet from Justin Sexton with photo of members of the Bush Administration: Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Pres. George W Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Andrew Card, George Trent, Donald Rumsfeld. Text says, "I know one thing. Zelenskyy would've received a hero's welcome from these guys, and sent home with enough ammo to go all the way to Moscow."

As I was driving today, the song "Zoot Suit Riot" by The Cherry Poppin' Daddies came on the #radio, and I got to thinking just how #weird it was that #swing revival bands had a moment in the mid-90s.

Here's the project I started before breaking my wrist. Got about 2 inches done from provisional cast-on before I got my cast on. (See what I did there 😁)
Pattern is Ripple Lake Cardigan by Joji Locatelli. #Yarn is Shimmer Fingering from Expression Fiber Arts.

The proposed Trump takeover of the Gaza Strip is a distraction from the current Musk takeover of the Treasury and other US departments. The coup is coming from inside the house. #resist

In my desperate search for distraction from the current US hellscape, I finally started watching the new "Matlock." It's absolutely delightful.

Who's going?
The following text against an inclusive LGBTQIA+ flag background: Reject fascism. Defend equality. No to concentration camps. No to illegal ICE raids. No to transphobia and homophobia. First they came for the Jews and I did not speak out because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out. 50 protests. 50 states. 1 day. 12 pm. February 5th, 2025 at your state capitol.

Finished! Used various brass-toned metal buttons. Blocked a little large, so I'll reblock it soon. I love it.
Pattern: Malipulli #Cardigan in Expression Fiber Arts Dewy DK, colorway Maple Fog.

Dammit. One button short. Back to the button stash in search of something else.

All the pieces are done. Now for the sewing of seams and weaving of ends. Plus adding the button- and neckbands, of course. #knitsky #knitting #knitlace

Performing my civic duty of binge-watching TV shows that are NOT the inauguration. Currently on Mindhunter (Netflix) season 1 episode 9.
