Good morning

I thought I missed this one, but yay for happy mail from @lolabeanyarnco

Black Label orders are packed and ready to go—pickups are scheduled for tomorrow morning. Now, I’m diving into Mixtape preorders and Strange & Unusual palettes, which should be shipping out in just under two weeks. I’ve also added 1,000+ ready-to-ship skeins to the shop. lolabeanyarnco.com

is anyone planning to go to #Yarncentrick in May? @yarncentrick #kntting

Here’s what I want from Dem leadership RIGHT NOW: 1. Say out loud you’re aware we’re in a Constitutional crisis — a state of the situation. 2. A system to triage Trump admin’s EOs, legislation, and actions. 3. A demonstrable effort to listen to your constituents. 4. Your action plan.

when I’m stressed, I start a new project. #surishirt using #berrocoremixlight which i hear is going away soon #knitting #showmeyourknits

I had the same with my one creative writing class at UChicago, back in '87. The irony is I'm pretty sure I'm the only person in that class to write novels AND MANY HAVE SPACESHIPS THANK YOU. But to be fair, that *was* 38 years ago now, ugh what even is time anymore

I sometimes wonder how many people outside the Black community know about this…. “Eleven people were killed, including five children and the founder of the organization. Sixty-one homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless.” www.vox.com/the-highligh...

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Look… Things are fucked up. Let’s be 100% clear about that. It doesn’t matter what side of the aisle you lean towards. Doesn’t matter how you identify. It honestly doesn’t matter what your current socioeconomic status is. The situation that we’re in is NOT sustainable for ANYBODY!

Wow.

The fact that more people are upset about the half time show than Kanye’s Swastika shirt is wild

Jose Barco, a decorated U.S. Army veteran once based out of Fort Carson who served 2 tours in Iraq, was taken into custody last month by ICE because his citizenship papers, which were supposed to be processed while he was in the Army, were lost. Read his story:

Take a good, hard look. The way things are going, this is about to become nothing more than a paperweight. They’re wiping their asses with the very document they swore an oath to serve and protect.

Celebrate Black History Month by supporting Black owned businesses. I love to read, and so I will commit myself to only purchasing books from Black owned bookstores. aalbc.com/bookstores/l... #blackhistorymonth #resist #booksky

Second book read in 2025: @tananarivedue.bsky.social’s truly fantastic, haunting, and extremely necessary The Reformatory. You could call it “Nickel Boys with Ghosts” but that would be too reductive for such a thoughtful yet truly terrifying novel. Recommending to *everyone.* #booksky 📚💙

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

This is extraordinarily dangerous. Tomorrow, the legacy media will ask Republican officials about this. Those officials will lie and obfuscate. And the legacy media will move on. That is part of the crisis we face.

"The halftime show was boring." Look, you may not be familiar with the genius of Kendrick Lamar and couldn't quite hear the lyrics and don't know the backstory and the symbolism went over your head, but trust me when I say you'll want to read an analysis of it and rewatch. A true masterpiece.
