On a lighter note (because this has been the longest week of all recorded history and I need a distraction from seriousness)…

Which historical figures are unduly hot?

So does the Sophie scarf have bluesky knitters in a chokehold like it did on TikTok?

I’m relearning how to knit and I will probably make 400 more of these. Perfect stash buster.

Stole this from Reddit (who stole it from tumblr). Maybe apocryphal but the point stands true:

“Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can.”
A screen shot of a tumblr post where a nonbinary user got a passport with their gender listed as undeclared. It shipped at midnight on the last Friday before “that man” takes office. They add that a friend in the State Department confirmed that, as they suspected, people at the SD really did work late all week to get passports into the mail, especially for people who might have trouble with the new administration. Which means that the Biden administration had approved a massive amount of overtime to get it done. The second user goes on to say: “This is what I mean when I say the Good Work is often not glamorous and that we have to prioritize things that actively and immediately better the lives of our siblings. The state department worker who was still in the office last night at midnight stuffing my passport into an express mail envelope and making sure that it was in the hands of the USPS has done more liberatory work for the trans movement than 100 people endlessly auditing the language other people use to describe their lives ever will. These next years are gonna be real hard. Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can.”
