Okay, I don't know why I didn't think to look to see if apps existed for knitting and/or crocheting earlier... Because this has been a game changer with knitting lace. It does stink to have another thing that I need my phone for though... But it's also so handy and helpful, sooooo... #knitting

It being tax time, I think this is a good reminder. If you check that box for $3 to donate to the presidential election, it doesn't mean you are paying $3; it means you support keeping big money out of politics. This matters now more than ever.

You Didn't Check The 'Presidential Election Campaign' Box On Your Taxes, Did You?
The little box is for presidential public financing. At first, it was relatively popular, but now fewer people are checking the box — and more candidates are rejecting the funds.

Was at a Stake Conference broadcast tonight and they couldn't get the sound to work right so we used captions and it turns out our Stake meeting really set off the Zoom "profanity filter" with all the God and hell talk. Oh, the irony

I kinda think that the emphasis on quoting church leaders and giving talks on General Conference talks has made Sacrament meetings very bland. I want to hear personal stories from the actual person giving the talk. I want to know and understand my fellow congregants better.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
