Progress update of my reading goal for the year. Just closed I Might Be in Trouble by @danaleman.bsky.social, a gripping and engaging novel. It has mystery and intrigue, coupled with intense reflection.
One of my favorite books of my 2025 reading list so far.

Finished the #icordbindoff on this #convex shawl tonight. It's gonna need some aggressive blocking, but it will be warm and just the right size to be a quick wrap. Would definitely look good with a little clasp.

I love #britishtv, but police procedurals & mysteries hold a special place in my heart.
#vera is a series I have absolutely torn through. I started watching it in December, and I'm now down to about 2 seasons.
If you have #britbox and need a new show, I highly recommend it.

I've been working on this #convex shawl for about 2 weeks now. Using some #zauberperlen in this hot pink to black color set, and I'll be adding more black yarn to the end to fill out the width and ensure there's plenty of yarn for an #icordbindoff.

I hope to gawd that these do become public because voters should know what kind of vile jerks they put in office.

First, they came for the Muslims, and we said, "Not today, Satan."
In 2025, they came for our trans siblings, and we reminded them that no executive order will remove people's existence.
We stand with all those on the margins. We support our neighbors. We love our fellow residents.

When you just need easy and relaxing...
Using some #berrocoremix to work on a shawl tonight. I have a pattern, but it's on my laptop out of reach. When it gets more exciting, I'll add that.

I adore her. This was her moment to let all of us witness courage and kindness.

She has more courage than every single one of our politicians on both sides combined!!

I passed up this book at a retailer a couple of weeks back, but ended up finding it on my next trip to the local #library. So far, one of my favorite reads of 2025.

Imagine watching that sermon and thinking it was "nasty." We elected a man who thinks mercy has no place in a house of worship. God help us.

I'm enamored of many folks who speak truth to power by simply reinforcing the values of the Gospel. I've long moved away from organized religion, but messages shared, like this one from @mariannbudde.bsky.social are worthwhile and give me a little hope.

One of the things I don't like about living in the south is the rarity of snow. I loved it growing up, so this is a treat for me.
