Here's my weekend. On the right is continuous rounds which is how I have been doing them 2+ years. On the left is joined rounds, a whole new technique to me (brim with front post single crochet & back post single crochet, also learned today). Hence it's kid size lol.

I always bring this one forward:
Image of a tweet by physicsMatt that says If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant."

Today marks 2 weeks on the picket line.
Gov't is saving millions every day in wages so it's no wonder they don't care about getting back to the table.

I can't even express how much I love the quote at the end of this paragraph. This is from the Wikipedia article on Bowie's "Heroes"
At Bowie's own request, TV on the Radio covered "'Heroes'" in 2009 for the charity album War Child Heroes. A year later, Peter Gabriel released a stripped-down version for his covers album Scratch My Back (2010). The same year, the series 7 finalists of The X Factor released a version for the Help for Heroes charity, which reached number one on the Irish, Scottish and UK Singles Chart. Regarding this version, Pegg writes that it introduced "a new generation to David Bowie by subjecting one of his greatest songs to the anodyne arrangements, Eurovision key-changes and sub-Mariah Carey karaoke yodeling which are the core ingredients of The X Factor's ongoing mission to eradicate real music from planet earth".

Workers want action on what matters: delivering on public health care and Pharmacare, lowering costs, investing in public services, tackling the housing crisis, and creating good union jobs. Will you listen PM @MarkJCarney?

I made (in Krita) a few more poster-ish things if anyone wants one for an upcoming protest. Two varieties with the same text. #indivisible #teslatakedown #protest #3E #50501

From The Art of Resistance, by Justus Rosenberg
We need to teach young people about the Holocaust-both the Jewish one and other "holocausts" in history and around the world-so that future generations will know where human-kind's worst instincts and political ideologies can lead. We need to champion the notion that all human beings are equal and deserve to be treated as such. We need to be alert to the dangers and nip them in the bud.

Text posted by Tea with Tolkien and says: thinking about how many characters in the Lord of the Rings ultimately succeed by simply plodding on despite a loss of hope. weighed down by despair and yet not fully drowned. trudging towards the light with their last ounce of strength and will. and in the end, it is enough.

Text says: "This constant lying is not aimed at making the people believe a lie, but at ensuring that no one believes anything anymore. A people that can no longer distinguish between truth and lies cannot distinguish between right and wrong. And such a people, deprived of the power to think and judge, is, without knowing and willing it, completely subjected to the rule of lies. With such a people, you can do whatever you want." - Hannah Arendt (14 October 1906 - 4 December 1975) German historian and philosophe

Text reads "the leap from disappearing the undocumented to disappearing visa holders to disappearing green card holders to disappearing naturalized citizens to disappearing natural born citizens is no leap at all, but a series of tiny steps block the path"

I just. I cannot with these people. Genuinely no understanding of anything.
My daughter is losing her job thanks to DOGE. I voted for President Trump three times. My daughter is a hard working excellent worker for the Manistee National Forest. She doesn't work for DEI. She runs the office. I'm pissed. (At addresses are Trump and Elon) Account that is quoting this tweet says "Yes Marilyn, they're doing the white people too"
