Got the body done, but not the borders. Mom understands and loves the color and pattern. I’ll post when finished with her wearing it!

Impossible knitting goal for this year: Decided on Monday evening that I had to knit Mom a vest for Christmas. Done one front and half of back. Working 3 12s over the next 3 days. The odds are not in my favor.

In the interest of trying not to pay a future tariff/tax I purchased a PlayStation 5 with PlayStation Plus for myself. I mostly play RPGs. My advanced age requires bifocal glasses and having to view the computer with my head tilted back (in order to view through bifocal glasses) has become a bother.

Watched the first episode of Dune: Prophecy on a really big VR screen! Loved the immersive experience. Also loved the pilot. Re-charging the headset for episode 2!

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC

Different viewpoints? Is that what we’re calling bigotry, racism, misogyny, etc?
Why are Trump supporters not wanted ? You dont have to follow them. You can block them. You can filter words. Don’t you want @bsky.app to have all perspectives ? I certainly do.
As long as it’s civil. Why not welcome different viewpoints ?

I don't understand Trump supporters. Why come where you are not wanted. It's odd. Witness me syndrome in the worst way.
