I invent boxes by day and textiles by night. Love: hiking, pottery, knitting, crochet, painting, dyeing, baking, rock hounding, my dog
I was at the post office once where someone had received a book she didn’t order and wanted them to send it back. But she had opened it so she needed to pay postage. She was so distraught by the idea of just throwing it out that the post office lied to her about what happens at dead letters.

Agree that would have been better, but also presumes they had fact checkers.

I bet they had enough budget to hire a knitting expert and just chose not to. Saying “inspired by” is free and they still didn’t do it.

LOL…this was destined to happen, knitting never gets a spotlight and is primarily dominated people who have hours for crafting and interest in detail. Can’t wait to be able to watch this in the US, did they say “inspired by” because that is the only thing one needs to say.

It’s like they keep saying we want the Great Depression, but Greater and MORE Depressed.

I’ll never understand the pro-camera argument. Cameras won’t prevent any crime, they just document. If society is concerned about crime, shouldn’t our efforts be preventative?

As far as I know you can still refuse to be photographed by TSA. So why wouldn’t you be able to refuse ICE?

Lots of states have solved this you go from 999ZZZ to ZZZ999 then to Z999ZZ…etc etc. There are 6!x26^3x10^3 or 12.6B combinations in this format. Plus you can always add a 7th digit.

How is this not a violation of rights? Faces and fingerprints are like DNA, warrant or voluntary consent.

Fred Meyer in Portland hired armed security guards years ago, it’s terrible I don’t shop there anymore because of it.

Get in the Xmas spirit, try and buy your way out of stagflation!

How are we supposed to tell the difference between ICE costumes and agents if they don’t have faces and ID?

ICE has arrested and detained US elected officials: Alex Padilla, Brad Lander, Jesse Fuentes, Ras Baraka, LaMonica McGuiver. This is all on video, along with other US citizens.

What is the revenue? I don’t see how this value is justified.

Ugh, yes it’s all trash now, even the expensive stuff. My fridge that was less than 3 has to have a part replaced that was more than its value. Luckily for me it was under warranty.

Moms pack lunches, “meal prep” is how we’ve convinced a lot of men to cook. Let them invent “living space detox” next.

Safer than what? Driving is quite dangerous.

Because that’s anti-women not exclusively anti-black

Executive orders aren’t law, they are memos.
