🎭 HUNDREDS RALLY IN NEW YORK TO SUPPORT THE ATLANTIC THEATER COMPANY'S CREW

ATC's workers unionized back in February 2024 but still don't have a contract. Pressure is on management to come to a fair agreement this week, or there will be a strike vote!

Workers head back into negotiations today.

Cover of a book— Anne Frank: the diary of a young girl. The cover is black and the text is in gold. There is an oval photo of Anne Frank, gazing upward. She is so young.

I love hearing poets read their own work. In this case, Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” sounds like he’s just rattling off a grocery list. Which I suppose the poem kind of is.

I bought two of those jingle ball in the cardboard accordion things so my cats (who hate each other) could stop fighting. But instead one cat ignores them both while the other …
Two round cardboard accordion-pleated circles with a track for a jingle ball. The circles are side by side and Kiki, my favorite cat, is lying with her chin wedged between the two circles. Kiki is asleep.

Book cover: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams The background is blue with stars and cartoonish planets. There is a large human hand with the thumb out in classic hitchhiker’s pose. In the top right corner there is a green orb with arms but no legs, no eyes or nose but a big toothy grin. It’s sticking out it’s tongue and its thumbs are sticking into the orb where ears might be on a human and it is waggling its fingers.

Best Guernica joke ever. By Quino. The more I look, the more I laugh.
A purely visual joke, I’m sorry. A woman in a floral dress shows another woman — wearing a maid’s uniform — a messy room. The room is trashed. Ashtrays, empty bottles, etc. there is a print of Guernica on the wall over the couch. The second frame is the room, tidied, with everything put away. The maid had left the room and the woman in the floral dress studies Guernica — now tidied. It now shows a lovely scene of a woman breastfeeding her child, with a man offering a lamp to another woman reading a book, a horse and cow look in the window. The maid has taken the dark and gruesome painting and turned it into a cheerful scene.

Cover of book. Black with a photo of a young woman who is inexplicably not wearing clothes but is clutching a blanket to cover her self. This has nothing to do with the actual book. Text on the cover reads: THE 6,000,000 COPY BESTSELLERI A TRIUMPHANT FILM!

A hardcover book. The black cover reads: STEPHEN KING in white letters. Then there’s one of those wind-up toys: a monkey playing cymbals which is always the indicator that something is creepy. Below that is the title: SKELETON CREW

The cover to Elizabeth Zimmermann’s “Knitting without tears” with the subtitle: “basic techniques and easy to follow directions for garments to fit all sizes” The cover shows a pile of knitted garments (some are pretty hideous, honestly).

Rowan felted tweed is one of my favorite yarns of all time. I’m knitting myself a sweater and I don’t really want the project to ever end. 🧶

Hello #craftsky 🧶 people! I’m looking to knit an adult hat with self striping yarn but I’m afraid the stripes will get all out of sync as the hat decreases (or increases— I usually make hats top down). Does anyone have any to show me so I can see what they look like? Ravelry is full of baby hats.
