Okay THIS is Christian.
Screenshot from the New York Times mobile app; the headline reads “He Forgave His Mother’s Killer. Now He’s Fighting to Spare the Man’s Life” the sub headline is “William Berry has urged Alabama officials to stop the execution of Geoffrey West, arguing that it would bring neither justice nor closure.” There is a photograph of a tall man with gray close-cropped hair and a trim grey goatee and mustache wearing a pink collared t-shirt, khaki pants and black shoes. He is holding a microphone up to his mouth in one hand and has the other hand in his pocket. He is standing in front of a group of demonstrators holding signs that protest against the death penalty, in front of a white building with columns and a rotunda.

@mrsdtuson.bsky.social inspired me to start a little cabled headband yesterday! (is one of the cables wonky? Shhh. It’ll be just as warm) 🧶
A half-finished knitted headband on a shiny speckled white countertop. the yarn is grey (“slate” is the name of the colorway) and there are three cables. There’s a small error in the leftmost one where one of the twists goes the wrong way.

“Huh, why is no one having kids?”

Been thinking a lot about Infectious Madness by Harriet A. Washington, which was written before the COVID-19 pandemic but explains so much about what happened next.
The cover of the book Infectious Madness. Subtitle is “the surprising science of how we ‘catch’ mental illness” with an illustration of microbes in the shape of the human brain.

NO STOP I CAN’T

We’ve never been successful putting Bonnie in a costume so I had to settle for a festive bandana

Totally worth it to rip back to add waist shaping, this is coming out much better. Progress is a little slow because of Dragon Age: The Veilguard 🧶
A white sweater with grey stripes in the process of being knitted — stops about at the waist with unfinished ends visible and knitting needles still in it.

I mostly love how this came out but I’m ripping the body back to the underarms to add waist shaping so it doesn’t have quite so much ease (losing yarn chicken may have also been a factor) 🧶
A white sweater with gray zigzag stripes in the process of being knitted — the body and left sleeve are finished and the right sleeve is about 3/4 of the way done with knitting needles sticking out. The collar is unfinished, and you can see the yarn ends that haven’t been woven in.
