My partner and I are getting ready to buy a house. There’s a lot of ducks to get in a row still! And we’re learning a lot! The most important thing we learned is that low income people can buy a house!! I’m going to make a pinned thread of local #pdx resources for others to use or to donate to.
💀¡Feliz Día de Muertos!💀

The tutorial I followed! I reduced a few rows at the bottom of the triangular portion because I was running low on the lighter grey. I also added a row of SC to each of the rings with the darker grey, which seemed to help make them sturdier since I used a very soft cotton there.

Stretch. And do it way more than you think you should. It sounds funny but you don’t realize how much your mobility matters until an injury.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

Say hello (again) to Helen 💙

Reintroducing Helen, one of my very first colorways, named for my grandmother, whose favorite color was blue. This updated version stays true to her spirit with a bold mix of deep, dark blue and bright, vibrant blue.

Short thread:

1) I agree this is gross

2) Virtually every jail in the United States operates the same way

3) Most every low security prison in the United States operates in the same way

(I was incarcerated in 160 person pole barns that look just like those pods)
Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"

Good move but to hell with the situation
🚨BREAKING: Cal State LA just moved classes online and let faculty work remotely, not for a storm, not for COVID, but because ICE is in the area.

Let that sink in, an entire university is treating immigration enforcement like a public health crisis.

I've decided to turn any hate towards this into a positive. Every time I get flipped off or thumbs down for this flag I'm gonna make a 3$ donation to www.thetrevorproject.org at the end of the month.

Hi Friends. This month marks 2 years of releasing stand-up weekly on YouTube.

What started as a way to stay consistent turned into something I look forward to every week.
You’ve watched, shared, shown up to shows — and made this more meaningful than I ever expected.
