I'm starting to think it was a mistake to no longer require every 15 year old to memorize four Shakespeare plays about kings gone mad

Yup, time to buy Canadian wherever possible! And from the EU, UK, Mexico, Japan…pretty much most countries except one.
Canadian knitters and crocheters:
Canada has several excellent yarn companies, local yarn shops, and indie dyers. Check labels before you buy so we can support Canadian businesses and yarn producers. 🧶 🇨🇦

Good morning!
It’s day 11 of #RadicalizingMySheep & you know what? It took all of about 6 seconds to convince them that the people who live & work here & make up our communities should be treated with respect & appreciation. After all, they love fresh food. Also basic human rights & decency.

There is no such fucking thing as being “too woman” to pilot a helicopter, “too gay” to land a plane or “too black” to be an air traffic controller.
There is however, such a thing as being too hateful, too stupid & too sociopathic to be president.
And we call that Donald Trump.

Blocked and dry, ready for the bands and sleeves to be finished. It feels amazing, it’s all my handspun and it’s so lofty! I not sure if my remaining yarn will do the bands and cuffs, so may end up with striped cuffs to match the colourwork. #throwbackcardigan #handspun 🧶

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
