I hate asking for help, but, this year has been tight. I made a gofundme, so if you have a couple bucks, please and thank you, and if you don't, please share: gofund.me/4a81b2aa

The worst part of modern life is cascading overdraft fees that eat an entire paycheck and then guarantee you'll be overdrawn for a month.

If you can help, I'd appreciate it

Still asking for a little help, February bills are covered, but March is right there looking at me funny.

I have been relearning to knit, and successfully created a dog sweater. In the process I learned raglan sleeves, German short rows, and a stretchy bond off

I'm re-teaching myself to knit. A simple four stitch alternating knit/purl pattern. Not bad, considering it's been at least a decade since I picked up knitting needles.

I gave the crocheted snowflakes to the person they were for, and they look good!

I am seeing a really shitty take by a non Anthropologist going semi viral on what constitutes Indigenous land rights- a celebration of a bigot infused blog post, written by an uneducated fool, impressing no one. Please start here if you want to learn more.

The glow in the dark yarn makes really neat crochet snowflakes

Five seconds of gently simmering chicken bones, with a bay leaf.

I'm making chicken and dumplings in the crock pot, and the bones from the bone-in skin-on breasts are roasting to be turned into stock later. And I made homemade croutons this morning. Smells great in here!

I made much larger crocheted snowflakes! Some are gifts, but one in my window. (The one made from glow in the dark yarn!)

The pile of formerly folded lap blankets under the side table is a popular nap spot.

You can report individual posts as well as entire accounts. This one is especially anti-trans, and trolling for reactions. Report and then block.

Keep the feed clean.
Block and report this asshole

Yesterday I experimented with diluted clear craft glue to stiffen the crocheted snowflakes, and this morning I awoke to stiff flakes! It worked, and dried overnight!

I’m making a list of “blue wave” accounts that appear to be bots. They’re all posting the same junk content links and are reeeeaaaally similar.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong

Today's musical offering is a bit more modern. Trobar de Morte is a brilliant group from Spain who weave deliciously dark harmonies with the masterful use of ancient instruments. Let's fill #paganmusic with as much Pagany ear candy as possible!

I am a woman. I am fine with a trans woman sharing my bathroom. Trans women are women. Pass it on.
