We hope it makes sense for you all. (This makes us nervous.)

If you go to hud.gov right now, you get these banners splashed across your page.
This is *so overtly partisan* and should be *immediately* condemned by every citizen. This is unacceptable.

One of our favorite OCs is our Shadow Conjurer, Method. It's made up of many smaller shadows that petitioned an eldritch deity for sentience and survival. It speaks in whispers and is extremely self-indulgent in social conduct. It seeks to learn how to sustain itself by eating others' dreams.

New progress pic! Roughly 19" tip to tail, from the hollow of our neck down below our navel.
Such a long endurance run as we expanded, now we get to contract! (slowly.)
We are *so* in love with this color scheme and it's exactly what we need for Method.

Ooh, we< can finally do this! This absolute *beast* of a project is one of our most intense patterns, with one of the most luxurious yarns (that has the best story) that we've ever had the pleasure of working up. It looks better dry, but we haven't taken a photo of it while not wearing it? Huh.

Another action item: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20... This rule could *prevent* providers from offering GAC to children on government health plans. Comment to tell them to refuse this rule - it's being expedited and kept quiet, but we're *visible* today!!!
