When you get to meet R2-D2 and don’t even pose correctly to show off your R2-D2 tattoo 🥲

Job hunting is a lot. (A thread)

Some days feel wide open and full of possibility.
Other days hit harder—like every “not this time” email shows up at once.
(These two experiences are perfectly represented in the photos I’m sharing here… lol.)

My creative process?
1- Make myself laugh.
2- Share it.

Dear Bluesky,
I just looked at my dogs and started crying because I love them so much.
Sincerely,

Before I was diagnosed, knitting was "the way I could sit and relax without feeling guilty" because I was still "doing something".

Once I was told I had ADHD, it all made so much sense. Proud of this one! Hope you'll watch and share with your pals. 👇

Download the app!
Okay, I cannot recommend 5calls.org enough. Enter your address and it will find all your reps (federal and state). AND give you a list of issues to call about AND which reps to call about each of them AND a little script for each, in case it's helpful. They have an app, too.
5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.

Confessions of a knitter of over 15 years 👇

I made my partner convertible gloves/mittens.
When I finished, I realized they are not quite the same size.
Blocked them...still not the same size.
I said "wear them and if it bothers you I will reknit it".
He loves them.
Perfection is boring.
The end.

I said “smile!” and he was like “okay mom”
