This.

We have the first American pope now. Pope Leo the XIV.

An American pope.

newsreader really buries the lede on landing one of the most baffling bits of news footage ever recorded

The Trump administration has drafted a memo to Congress outlining its intent to end nearly all federal funding for public media, which includes NPR and PBS, according to a White House official who spoke to NPR.

Gunna say this early: I’m good with the coming @bsky.app subscriptions. I’m also really intrigued by their marketplace model. I’d much rather a straightforward payment situation than data mining and copious ads.

Helpful tips in this thread from @gwensnyder.bsky.social. Don’t panic. Plan.

This is the first morning opening the yarn store on my own. It’s giving me a picture of what it might be like to have my own little shop, curating the space and focusing on hospitality at the start of the day.

Looking at @skylight.social and wondering if now may be the e time to finally lean in to short-form video. Like…. #Knitting videos? #Yarn shop videos? 🧶 Singing videos? All of the above?

Look how that Overton window just sliiiiiides First it was "illegal" immigrants criminals Then it was it was simply immigrants Then it's lawful us residents/green card holders Now it's criminal us citizens GUESS WHO'S NEXT

I’m about a month out from my 46th birthday, and my mind has been drifting to questions of purpose, desire, and vocation—online and on-ground. Sorting out how to do something meaningful and viable in the midst of societal upheaval is tricky to say the least.

The 2028 presidential campaign has begun.

I wanna start following more knitting and crochet 🧶 accounts. To all my crafty folk out there… Who would you recommend?

I miss blogs. Writing them, I mean. Or rather, I miss communication before the domination of social platforms. Or maybe what I mean is that I miss phones with cords, pads of paper and leaky pens, handwritten notes, and wearing a watch that doesn’t remind me of the news. #GenXNostalgia

Meat never left. Tempeh won’t either. I don’t know. I’m just tired of declarative bylines that attempt to frame reality and drive commerce.

Yeah, it’s a mess out there. But watching cat videos with your cat is pretty fantastic.

This country is a nightmare.

“The DHS quietly updated its policy manual earlier this month, removing LGBTQ+ identities from the section prohibiting surveillance based solely on immutable characteristics.” - The Advocate I hope all the 𝒏𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒂𝒚 𝒈𝒖𝒚 Republicans who voted for Trump read this & gag on their vodka and Red Bulls.

I think I’m in love with my life. #queerjoy #yarnthehousedown #localyarnstore

Let's talk about the proposed economic boycott. I wholeheartedly embrace it as we must heal from unrestrained consumption and Neoliberal capitalism. We should participate while also recognizing other collective actions are going to be necessary. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/economic-b...

For your consideration.

Thinking of starting a #femmefriday tradition as a response to the “normal gay guy” mind virus infecting the alphabet community.

I listened to the @gqmagazine.bsky.social article, “My Afternoon With the ‘Normal Gay Guys’ Who Voted for Trump.” Takeaway? A subset of gay men who fetishize the hypermasculine & eschew the feminine find common cause with MAGA. And—get this—Trump is a “gay icon” for them. Someone send help.

Its twin peaks day so i'm reposting this

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you a king. Stuffing your trousers with a silicone packer, painting on a goatee & sideburns, and strutting across the stage to George Michael’s 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒐𝒎 makes you a king.

Happy Hostile Government Takeover Day! @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social #hostilegovernmenttakeover #presidentsday #wesoscrewed

Thoughts? Feelings? Prue Halliwell memes? #charmed #knitting #queercrafters

Every Friday I wonder if this is the day when I submit my first full Monty #fcf post….

A farm fresh #fcf to you!

Are you a crafty queer? Do you want to be added to this starter pack? Hit me up! 😉

Hmmmm. Something naked and knitting related might be in the works in collaboration with a bloomfie. And I think it’s a project some of y’all might enjoy! More details to come!

Like a poem said by a lady in red 🎶

An angry straight in a fit of road rage just yelled “BITCH” at me through his open window. He thought he was dressing me down, but all I could think was it’s 𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐟𝐞𝐦𝐦𝐞 to have some Kevin throw a misogynistic slur your way. I’m all 𝒃𝒊𝒕𝒄𝒉 𝒚𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔𝒔 𝑰’𝒎 𝑺𝑯𝑬!!
