I cannot stress enough the following points:
It has been repeatedly proven that bolstering social programs and services as well as funding to education reduces crime, because it provides proper pathways towards sustainability.
Want less crime? Lower rent and increase wages.

I just finished Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan, and it is so good. The meta-conmentary on campy romantasy. The slow reveal of complexity. THAT ENDING.

I found a large house centipede crawling on the inside of the shower curtain liner this morning, while showering, and got my spouse to come catch it while drying off as fast as finally possible.
Him: this is one of the good ones!
Me: sure, but that doesn't mean I want it IN THE SHOWER with me!

I actually finished March's squares for the Berroco mystery knit along only slightly into April, but didn't take pictures in a timely manner. The intarsia square was so close to the Pride flag that I made an extra one. Downside: so many ends to weave in... 🧶 🌈 #berrocoYarn #vintageMKAL25

February's squares for my Berroco MKAL-as-Pride-flags. There are supposed to be 6 of this pattern, but I got bored and will probably make two extra in a different pattern. I'm mostly confident that the curling edges will be fine once I sew the blocks together. 🧶 🌈 #berrocoYarn #vintageMKAL25

This is apparently happening today -contact your senators!
ALERT! It just broke that tomorrow, the Senate will attempt a procedural vote on a transgender sports ban.
It will take 7 Democrats breaking rank in order to have enough votes to pass cloture.
Democrats held very strong in the House and only lost two votes.
CALL YOUR DEMS! (info in next post)

The House passed similar legislation in January.

As a cis woman, I fully agree with this. I do not need to be defended from trans people. They are not a threat. Nazis who want to squash me into their definition of what a woman should be, now.... That is the threat
I would like us to get clear on one thing here:
the language used is "Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism"
and as a woman, I need you to know that any person who is asking to be "defended" from trans people
is a nazi
period.
This is for nazis and only for nazis.

I'm doing the Berroco mystery afghan, but rolling my own color combination. These are the stripes for the first square, which does not have stripes in the pattern, but this is my blanket and I can do what I want! 🧶 #VintageMKAL25

I recently got back from vacation to Japan, and I'm really excited about the various Japanese translations of books I found! I've now got @annleckie.com's Ancillary Justice, @naominovik.bsky.social's His Majesty's Dragon, and @travisbaldree.bsky.social's Legends & Lattes!

I'm knitting a blanket! It's half way done, as long as you ignore the border. Which is going to make all the rest of the hexes take longer. But we're going with "halfway" for motivational purposes.
