You know what's nice? Getting your June #blacklabel from @lolabeanyarnco.com, ordering your JULY #blacklabel (because July is my birthday month!), and feeling dang proud because you used up a skein from your stash, so it's just replacement yarn....

Today is a good day:
1. Didn't misuse my #signal account and release classified information*
2. Got my #blacklabel order from @lolabeanyarnco.com
*pro-tip: signal is great for sharing Wordle scores and such. 👍🏻

Can't make this up. I'm pretty sure that "God's will" doesn't include ignoring the scientists and medical professionals that He made smart enough to create medications for diseases. WTF?
No words.

The parents of an unvaccinated 6-year-old girl who just died from measles in Texas say they have no regrets for refusing to vaccinate their child.

💯 Retirement is in 4 years and 3 months.
