In exchange for taking him to the dentist, I got my unofficial photographer to snap a few pics of my new #avenuevest by @toriknitsnyc.bsky.social I knit it with about 200 g of @honerocheir.bsky.social My gauge was off so this was knit as a size 2 to get 40” of width. #knitsky #knittersofbluesky

Happy to have some #teaguedress weather today. The 🥶 weather last week was doing nothing for my ever increasing existential dread. I wore 👖 every day and wasn’t a fan. Even if I have to do a bit of a 🧜‍♀️ shuffle when I power walk, still so much comfier than 90% of pants. #sewsky #garmentsewing

I really enjoy crafting social media, and my 800 craft projects are really helping me get through these dark cafe days, but I have so little energy to take that extra step of reporting out. 🫠. [PS. No need to actually worry about me.]

In my city there is one cybertruck and one DIY parody of a cybertruck and the parody truck has become a local celebrity. Meanwhile, I always wish I had some rotten eggs to throw at the tesla whenever I see it.

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.

They make sure we have clean water.

They protect us from financial fraud.

They provide healthcare to our communities.

They make our government actually work for people.

Do not forget this.

Some federal employees who accepted Trump’s buyout offer are now being notified that their buyout has been denied, and they are being terminated instead.

The mass firing of thousands of federal workers by the Trump Administration is unprecedented, illegal, and downright dangerous.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

The MAGA regime has now fired over 1,000 employees from the U.S. Dept of Veterans Affairs. This agency that is already severely understaffed, operates over 100 major hospitals and several hundred clinics and processes veterans benefits.

This is what hating veterans looks like.

Making modded Rambler pants for my spouse who often has not enough room in the seat for his waist size. And I made the fatal mistake of serging and top stitching the elastic BEFORE the try on. Also the engineer in my finds it interesting to fit a body different than my own. #sewsky #garmentsewing

Major breaking trans news: The States of Washington, Minnesota, and Oregon have sued the Trump administration to block it from enforcing a national gender affirming care ban for those under 19 years of age.

This is the second major lawsuit over Trump's trans ban EO.

Docs to come.

BREAKING: We submitted FOIA requests to more than 40 federal agencies demanding answers about the so-called Department of Government Efficiency's unrestricted access to Americans' data.

We're also calling on Congress to conduct immediate oversight of DOGE's invasion of privacy.

Finally warm enough to get some photos of my Helen’s Closet #dawsontop hack into a dress. This is my second take, and this one has a sway back adjustment for my low seat.

The fabric jersey is deadstock from Stonemountain and Daughter.

First knit FO of 2025. The #superlativesweater by @samanthaguerin.bsky.social in @explorerknits.bsky.social Boucle DK in the Gaudi colorway. Definitely a learning curve with Boucle.

This is size 2 which fits my upper bust measurement but has slightly less ease than called for at the full bust.
