I do weird shit and make funny noises. Pancraftual. 🧶🪡🧵Fck the patriarchy. She/her
Highly recommended, also works in English through browser translation. Tough at times, and so good, especially if you're working on it with someone else. And their answer to "What gives you hope" is "You".

#showmeyourknits Some well-aged purple projects, a delicate lace shawl and a really warm hap shawl I knit for Pride. I don't know what I was thinking, it's usually very hot in June...

My "something with electricity ⚡..." old self welled up a bit. This is good news. Bravo Baltic states! 👏
The moment Estonia disconnected its power grid from Russia has been shared online. A historic step toward energy independence.

Lovely local yarn shop in Vienna, well-curated wool and interesting classes, no matter if you're still new to knitting or want to expand your horizon. Online Shop, too. Wholehearted recommendation. #knitting #austrianknitters 🧶

One of us.
Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.

It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌

I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)

Wieder was gelernt.

As an old-ass European, I'm not the target audience, so this explained a lot to me.
Seit heute sind 170 Millionen Menschen in den USA - die Hälfte der Bevölkerung - von TikTok ausgeschlossen.

Ein paar Gedanken und Zahlen dazu, warum das auf vielen Ebenen für die USA und progressive Bewegungen problematisch ist, ohne TikTok zu glorifizieren 🧵

For now, I've decided that my personal Instagram is going to be deleted once I am able to download my images. My energy formerly spent there will be spent here on Bluesky.

I'm watching and considering what changes I might make to the business IG and FB accounts.

I've deleted Instagram from my phone, the last Meta app I had been using. It's been a long time coming. Meta now explicitly allows rhetoric targeting LGBTQIA+ people, women, and immigrants. That's it, that's the straw. #fuckzuck #fuckmeta
