Celebrate International Women's Day by interrupting men with your unsolicited opinions and taking credit for their work. If they get upset about it, be sure to tell them that they sound hysterical and should smile more.

New spin shaping up. My brain isn’t managing as well as it could but at least I can spin.
Malabrigo Nube merino on my eew 6.1. Thanks for the gifts mom!

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

If you're finding it hard to create stuff right now, be kind to yourself. Not only is shit real fucking bad, but this is the last desperate gasps of the cold, dark season. It's hard to do ANYTHING when the world is cold and dark, but the sun will be back soon, bilge rats. We'll get through it.

“People hate their own art because it looks like they made it. They think if they get better, it will stop looking like they made it. But there’s no level of skill beyond which you stop being you. You hate the most valuable thing about your art.”

A "remarkably rotund" beaver is making a splash on the South Side — and she needs a name. 🦫

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
