One good way to know you’re in a cult is when your top guy has been credibly accused of raping children and you’re still a fan.

Turns out that everyone who says weaving with linen is a PITA is right. Usually weaving is calming and I keep looking at the cloth I’m making and thinking it’s so beautiful. With linen? Not calming. Annoying AF. And I don’t even like the way it looks. I was planning on weaving 11’. I’ve done 6” 1/n

The #1 way to explain America working properly is by saying “comedians can make fun of he President on TV.” A good way to explain fascism is “the President forces companies to fire those comedians as a condition of allowing them to conduct business.”

If your insurance has to approve your prescription, and then they approve it but the copay is $641 for a one month supply, did they really approve it?
On the bright side, in about 6 weeks I’ll have paid all my out of pocket costs for the year, and then I pay $0.

Oh, great a depression day. I haz a sad. Not for any specific reason, though there are a ton of reasons to be depressed (I’m looking at you, dystopian hellscape/endstage capitalism). I’m just sad, not for any *particular* reason. It will pass. Maybe in a day. Maybe in a week. Hopefully not longer.

Ok, this is weird. A few weeks ago I posted about getting 6 goldfish for my pond and how they were all gone the next morning and I was really sad.
This morning there are at least 4 goldfish in my pond. But as soon as I saw them, they swam into a crevice or something and disappeared.

I’ve been weaving. It’s off the loom, washed, and hanging to dry. #weaving #rigidheddleloom #saori

I don’t know if I’ve been weaving too much lately, or knitting or gardening too much, or some combination, but my left wrist is screaming at me. Ok, ok, I won’t use my hands for the rest of the day (do you have any idea how hard that is for me?!) and I took some Tylenol. Why isn’t the pain gone now?

So, if you brought 6 goldfish home to your pond and the next morning they were all gone, where did they go? What happened to them?

#NoteToSelf Don’t hold a mug full of hot #tea when you’re on the verge of falling asleep. Ow!!!
Seriously. This is like the third time this has happened to me! You’d think I would learn! Sigh. I used to be really smart and now my brain is a jerk.

I finally started sampling on my loom. Using my handspun for both warp and weft, well, I think I need something in between 5dpi and 8dpi. Is there such a thing for a 24” Kromski Harp rigid heddle loom? #weaving

You know, I’m vegan, but if other people want to eat the rich, I’m ok with that.

Last night we rewatched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (the Tim Burton version). This morning it occurred to me that Trump saying he wants to annex Canada, Greenland, etc., is like Veruca Salt saying “Daddy, I want a squirrel!”
