I had the pleasure of being a test knitter for this project, which is now live. It’s a satisfying and speedy knit, so go make your own now, and wear the message proudly.

More details on Ravelry (friganti) soon.

During a visit to Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City in the beginning of the year, I learned a little about her unhappy time in North America.

A trip to Newport and New Bedford, two neighboring cities that typify the story of extreme wealth and exploitation of nature. The New Bedford Whaling Museum is a gem; among the items that stand out is Duke Riley’s clever “scrimshaw” on a plastic jug.

Three perfect jewel-like eggs. I found mama catbird sitting on her stick nest in a dogwood shrub by the stream. When she flew away I took the opportunity to quickly check out what she was working on.

In other international news: just in time for a sweltering start of summer heat bomb, I finished this sweater. And I rather love it, despite the button placket pulling a bit wonky-woo.

pattern: Norda Tee by Anna Enge
yarn: Purl Soho Good Wool in Olive Oil

Sure. Meanwhile, me at the beach…

Proud of Albany for showing up today with supportive and enthusiastic energy, and proud of this one who made it through her 2nd protest from beginning to end (the chair helped) 📷 @ericslee71.bsky.social

Molto eccitante! Officially, my first Italian vote, done! Doing my part to reach quorum, because if the fascists are telling people not to vote, it’s probably a clue that you really should vote. Si si si si si, because conservatives (everywhere and as a general rule) can stuff it.

It’s ephemerals hunting season! The marsh marigolds have come and faded, but the interior forest is now speckled with color…violets at peak, geraniums opening, and bonus: the evocative Equisetums awake + fruiting. 📸 2 horsetail species (growing together) starflower, and the charming gaywing.

Large gathering today in front of the NYS Capitol despite the cold rain. I couldn’t see most of the crowd but it was clearly a big HandsOff representation from “Smallbany”.

My prognostic interpretation: behold the American people doing away with the battered remnant of the DT administration.

Update @erwanh.bsky.social : I bought some apple cider donuts today! I’ll be damned if we’re going to resist these fascist losers without dessert.

There are a lot of complicated reasons for why we all ended up here, but years of fear-mongering by conservative media outlets and social media have distorted lots of minds, and particularly, sadly, young men have been targeted hard. No, I don’t think they learned much from history.
