Welp, my first tubular bind-off is decidedly not stretchy, so the brim of this hat is way too tight, but I like how the colors came out! (Bindle Hat by Wool and Pine) #knitsky

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Getting my colors ready for knitting the Bindle Hat from Wool and Pine. Excited to try the Latvian braiding technique! Using some super old yarn to test. #knitsky #stashbuster

Where are my fellow PBS Passport lovers? This app is giving me life right now. There’s a whole series called Craft in America? This is amazing! #knitsky #quiltsky

Anyone watch The Residence?
omg!

"Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House...

"Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..."

Drove Kebler Pass in CO on maybe the last warm day of the season yesterday. The late afternoon light in this aspen stand took my breath away.

The thing about Mamdani in this moment is that he is telling people that they do not have to simply accept what's on offer [and you see how much powerful interests HATE that]. He is doing this in just a couple of areas. Others could do the same focusing on the areas of life that most speak to them.

The amount of times I’ve heard fellow educators say, “Just use AI,” is really starting to bother me.
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

They both hate the cities and desperately want the cities. Similar to how they relate to women.
So Big Balls was standing by his car at 3 am when two 15 year olds tried to take the car.

Elon claimed Big Balls tried to save a woman from a dozen attackers instead of what actually went down, and now Elon is demanding that DC be taken over by the Feds.

(Tiny Balls is more like it).
Here’s the press release from the police department ⬇️

Convinced AI is the new oil. Creates dependence, ruins the environment, and (to quote Amitav Ghosh re: fossil fuels) reinforces the power of the ruling classes.

“Sorry, can’t do the DOGE check anymore, but can I interest you in minus 37 dolls?”
Trump: "A young lady -- 10 year old girl, 9 year old girl, 15 year old girl -- doesn't need 37 dolls. She could be very happy with 2 or 3 or 4 or 5."

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

If you know any MAGA who are regurgitating the “you don’t need cheap goods” line, it can’t hurt to casually recommend “Buy Now” on Netflix. 😈

Anyone defending this is either dishonest or gullible, there’s no in-between.

Same thing he said to Ukraine. Breathtakingly evil and frightening.
Trump: "We don't need anything from Canada, and yet it costs up $200b in subsidy to keep Canada afloat. So when I say they should be a state, I mean that. I really mean that ... some people don't have the cards."

weird thing about this framing is that this "personal best" is the second lowest for a president at this stage in their administration. the first is trump in his first term.
