Kind of think being cringe is the price of having a big beautiful life

Good weeekend was good, I keep forgetting that actual human contact is the key to making me feel like life isn't hopeless after all. It is rejuvenating to care for someone and be cared for in return.

I see a lot of you are worried about your stocks so I’m glad I invested all my money in the one asset that will NEVER decline in value: tulips

Pleased as punch to show off this soon-to-done WIP for #ShowMeYourKnits this week. Pattern is Cheryl Faust's Destination Unknown in a gradient from Canon Hand Dyes and contrast color by same. It was my New Year's cast-on with friends, and I'm finally binding off.

So many things none of us will perceive will come out of today's gatherings. That's the point. People find each other, they take some strength and remember they aren't actually isolated and alone. This is fortification for what's to come.

It's very cool to do cool stuff and then not talk about it! You know who wants you to share everything you do on social media? 1) cops 2) social media ceos 3) judgey people who think if they don't hear about your activism it doesn't count 4) cops again but this time it's feds

I gave a talk about public libraries yesterday and one things I said was: "I believe that public libraries offer an opportunity to fight FOR what we want to expand at a time when everything is a fight to block things or to stop things from happening."

“Sewing your own clothes to avoid tariffs” seems like a good idea until you realize it’s very expensive, takes a ton of time, and just about every component — from fabric and thread to sewing machines — are made abroad. I do think this is a great time to learn how to mend clothes, though!

I can't sleep which sucks, but I am vibrating with excitement because this is a Friend Day! In the evening, I get to introduce one of my best friends to my favorite comfort show, Leverage, cook dinner for a person who isn't me and actually enjoy the benefits of human contact.

i miss the early internet. people were like “you gotta see this dude. this cat sure is long.” and they were right. it was really long. it never shoulda gotten any more complicated than that.

Fellas, is it gay to say that where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay, your people will be my people, and your God my God. Is it gay to say where you die I will die, and there I will be buried?

It's only possible to say there's not much USian music that is class conscious if you ignore the entirety of Black music. People just say anything.

It feels super weird to be proud of anything I made, but I think I did good for my friend. I might be feeling the unexpected emotion of "pleased with my work" without it being overshadowed by all the things I know I did wrong. The awareness is definitely still there, but it's not screaming at me

I can not explain how much it means to me that people will be able to play a game about The South that captures its beauty and its magic. The region is at best overlooked and at worst stigmatized by it's worst tropes. I wrote about ALL the real folklore that inspired the game's bosses and more 👇🏾

A lot of what appears inexplicable to some people can be explained by racism. I understand that it's out of fashion to say this.

In disconcerting news, I think I'm finally coming out of my seasonal depression fog, which feels inappropriate considering the state of the everything. I suppose it's best to snatch what joy I can.

Hi, are you doomscrolling about tariffs? Have you had something to eat? Is there an offline activity you can do tonight instead, like read a book, compile a list of essential items you need to stock up on, or call an elected official about the recession ahead? Try not to stay up too late tonight.

I hate to be the one to say it, but this has been missing from nearly all the commentary– Gang members deserve due process rights as much as anyone else. Disappearing them is as much a crime against humanity as disappearing unaffiliated men.

I really wish how shit speech to text is on my phone was a mild inconvenience for me, but it's literally an accessibility tool given my motor issues, so this fucking sucks Typos are absolutely destroying my painfully autistic attempts at flirting, and that's the true tragedy

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

The arrangement of the pattern on the bodice of this early #1890s dinner gown is mesmeric. The oranges are pieced in kaleidoscopic array, zinging against the black silk background, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

What an incredible thread on Reddit of people posting their first attempts at amigurumi (usually crochet (sometimes knitting) where you make a little guy), there's a real delightful balance as you scroll of very lovely crochet and then also the best and wonkiest yarn gremlins you've ever seen.

Deeply annoyed to report that buying a giant humidifier in fact was a great choice, despite my long-term reluctance to spend money. Even the cat is sneezing less.
