Yay, done đź§¶ #Knitting #SockKnitting

It’s Mary Anning’s birthday, so time to share @katebeaton.bsky.social’s brilliant cartoon again.

I think I tried to share this with one of you a bit ago, but the page had moved? Just found the new URL. This is my favorite way to repair larger areas (i.e. beyond my patience for duplicate stitch) on knits. #KnittingRepair #SockRepair đź§¶

Side effects so far: âś… Runny nose and sore throat âś… An extra cough (feels a little different from my existing cough) âś… Hoarseness So far no spare bronchitises at least!

Oh boy a new medication! Potential side effects include... pretty much everything I'm trying to fix with this drug. Well then. It also makes you more vulnerable to catching a UTI. Yay!

Not to brag, but last night I went to Costco with a 13-item grocery list, and walked out with ONLY those 19 grocery items, 2 camping chairs, and plans to buy a tool shed in a few paychecks. Follow me for more budgeting tips!!

I am shocked, shocked I say.

I collaborated with the Internet Archive to make a new 24/7 lofi livestream! By day, you can see scanners scanning and what they're scanning. After hours, you will see public domain silent movies and pictures. Sorta like an Internet Archive TV WATCH LIVE HERE: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPg2...

Appreciation post for this local #spider who is helping keep my dining room pest-free! My house has zillions of these Goth Anime Legs Uncle spiders.* I adore them utterly, and avoid de-Mirkwood-ing too much lest I harm an unseen one. * (Officially "cellar spiders," but that's boring.)

On to another pair! đź§¶ #Knitting #SockKnitting

Finally finished these two pairs of socks on my trip! Project links below. đź§¶ #Knitting #SockKnitting

My velcro kitty is glad I'm back from my week of post apocalyptic desert shenanigans.

It’s true the anti-trans crowd will “come for women next” But what they’re already doing is bad enough. They’re already coming after women… both trans and cís, and anyone who doesn’t “look right”. Harming trans people is already bad enough

It's like every website, app and piece of software has developed its own Clippy. Clippy is following me around every day from Google to Zoom to Adobe Acrobat, telling me it looks like I'm trying to exist and would I like help with that

Time for a big batch of bread

80 years ago today, Hitler killed himself As he was the father of the Nazi movement, I feel it would only be right and appropriate if all the other Nazis in the world followed his example It doesn't HAVE to be with a bullet, either! Nazis can kill themselves however they want~ #HappyDeadHitlerDay

Got this cute lil giveaway kit at #LYSDay! IT HAS A POCKET IDK what to put into said pocket, but obviously it's an asset. Maybe stitch markers and a darning needle.
