My single stitches, as in the center of the flower, were disappearing, so I started double-wrapping them. They lie nicely and make up for any undue tightness. #knitsky

More green! Rainbow Flora in Juniper Moon Farms Cumulus. This cotton is an absolute dream to work with. I have since removed the ribbing and added 6”. I’m too old for “cropped.”

I knit to stay calm, but I think I’m cancelling out the benefits by watching political YT. 🤦‍♀️

For #FinishItFebruary, I finished 6 of 7 WIP’s, mended 5 of 6 things planned, but now have to mend a snag on one of the WIP’s I’d finished. 😢 Content with my progress. Now “shopping my queue” for the next few projects!

The CIA may have just doxxed itself—in compliance with Trump’s attempts to purge the federal government, the CIA sent his administration an unclassified email containing a list of every single person the CIA had hired over the past two years.

Came across this in my #knitting journal:

“If you question what God thinks of money, look at who he gave it to.”

No idea who said this, or why it’s in my knitting journal!

Finished, but not blocked. Fonsé Shawlette. Last set of charts periodically shifted markers, so I thought I made mistakes when I didn’t but did but didn’t.

I think I hate lace knitting. Thank goodness for stitch markers, but I don’t understand how a simple 24-stitch pattern stymies me at least once a row. I should be expert at fixing lace by now.

Today’s project: Fonsé Shawlette. Started it last summer, but now it’s #FinishItFebruary. I put in more repeats for depth, and am about a dozen rows from bind-off. Yay!

As a casual non-white observer, it’s so bizarre to see folks work so hard to try to prove their superiority over someone like me when they could spend that time actually bettering their own lives and…I don’t know, be happy instead of miserable fucks.

This is David Lebryk, a 30-year veteran of the Treasury Department and Acting Secretary. He is being forced out by Elon Musk because he refused to provide Musk with sensitive internal government payment information. 🤬🤬🤬

Share everywhere if you stand with Secretary Lebryk against Musk!

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

Public service announcement: when a rep or senator says something, they literally have the same info you do from the same sources.

We always pretended to have special knowledge, but rarely did.

Keep that in mind with the drone hysteria

❓️Deep Question, by Dr. Mike 🧠

👉MAGAs constantly strive to instill FEAR that "Libtards Desire a Socialist Government".

They sincerely believe that EVERYONE should "pick themselves up by their bootstraps"‼️

🤔 WHY don't MAGAs stop & think that NOT everyone can do this❓️
