Fuck everything. Fuck this site.
Twitter is nicer. This place is just a different kind of mean and I've been pushed toward suicide more here than over there. Honestly, a couple more days, and I might not be able to resist. Not entirely sure where my night will end up as it is.
Fuck it.

IL has its share of problems, but there's an occasional ray of hope...🌈💕🏳️‍🌈
As governor of Illinois, I’ve made it my mission to make our state the best to call home including for our LGBTQ+ community.

No matter who you are or who you love, everyone deserves dignity and equality.

Hate has no home here.

I often have multiple cats on my lap while knitting for myself, and the rule is "be kind or begone". Anyone who tries to bully the others has to go elsewhere.
Poirot (orange and white) is the only one who never gets kicked off.

Sometimes I don't pay attention when I'm pulling out more yarn, and when I glance down, I realize a cat was in the way. They usually just sleep through it, although I think Gin (left photo) was just waiting to see if I'd look away so she could take a little nibble 😆

Peanut butter and crackers and boozy iced coffee for a late supper, because if everything sucks at least my mouth can be happy and my brain can be drunk.

I'm getting 1 egg/day with 12 hens...this may be the only way to get this chicken venture to be a money maker.

I keep seeing people mention political signs being taken down as folks realise what their vote actually did...not here...
If anything, people around here are more rabid about their choice (and yes, I refuse to use names).

New life goal is to have a popup restaurant that is in a dinosaur. It could fit on a trailer, and I'd park it in various places. Like the parking lot of the museum where Jane the T-rex is (like 30 min away from me...).

Realistically...? I doubt I'll see the end of the year. It is what it is...🤷‍♀️

Speeding up the whole running out of money thing, but at least I'll have lots of knits to leave behind for my loved ones when I'm gone...

I keep trying to take my yarn back, but Ellipsis keeps sitting on it, or cuddling with it 🙄

Fava and Bub fight over the same spot til they realize it's warmer to cuddle...

Got this necklace to use in jewelry making, and now my issue is what to make with it. I have too many ideas...
Maybe a one-off of each design (2 of the designs I really love so I can keep one) instead of 5 of the same thing...?

Trying to figure out why I feel guilty when I accidentally send a text late at night, but no one thinks twice about texting me when they know I'll be asleep in the morning.
Probably the same reason I feel shamed about sleeping til 10am, even when people know I'm up til 3-4...
Yay for delayed sleep.

Oak likes to join me for naps so he can prove that he's still only a very tiny bottle baby.
And yes, my throat is his favourite place to lay and I occasionally wake up in a slight panic because I can't breathe.

Keep seeing all this craziness about Joann Fabrics potentially going under soon, and as much as their website and app make me want to scream, I don't want to lose the fun yarn and great sales.
They should have dumped the decor and gone back to craft supplies again.

A pile of jewelry that's sitting around being useless, and text that I didn't want to turn into a whole thread 🤷‍♀️

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure there are dinosaurs around here 🤔

Tried a new Indian restaurant today, and it was really good (though I thought I'd have to fight the waitress to get my biryani at full spice). It's pricey, but it's like 3 meals, so...🤷‍♀️
The menu gave me a chuckle too. Very Indian (I mean that in a good way).
