"I'm no Trump fan, but actual, out-loud fascism scares me less than a wealth tax that would've still left me rich beyond the average human being's wildest dreams" is something you couldn't waterboard out of me if I believed it, myself, but hey, go off

It’s #WIPWednesday! 🧶
This is what I’ve been knitting between Fight the Oligarchy rally stops.
Oversized Seasons Cardigan by Ozetta.
Splurged big-time on the yarn (🫣) but honestly after holding this thing for weeks I’m happy I did. Woolerton Estates in Fluffy. #KnitSky

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.

Made excellent pizza and had a fire pit last night and it was glorious. This spring has been unseasonably warm, and while I know that’s a Really Terrible Sign (tm) for the planet, I’m cherishing these glorious evenings and being able to dine al fresco.

Suggestion: Memorize phone numbers of your three closest contacts — more, if you're able. Recite them every week to stay fresh. Write down your larger trusted contact list, twice. File one with your important papers at home; keep the other offsite with one of those local trusted people.

My yearly plea, daylight savings time should take effect at 4pm on Friday and the day called “early happy hour day” and become a beloved national holiday.

An appeal to journalists and editors.
Calling illegal impoundments “savings” or even “cuts” is journalistic malpractice.
This is not time to to shy away from calling things as they are because you are worried about “balance.” Going along with the con that DOGE is about efficiency is unethical.

My new aerial embroidery experiment! I had some little circuit boards I thought resembled buildings and paths and added my stitches and trees in the gaps... and I had to add a car park! I imagine it to be a business park or factory grounds. What do you think? I don't usually do mixed media 😊
