My black and white scarf is done. It’s not perfect, but it’s cool enough to persuade me that I love deflected doubleweave even if the selvages are so hard. Making cloth is just magical. #weaving #handwoven

My first deflected double weave. I’m just following a pattern so I don’t really understand how it works, but I do understand that so far it is very elegant and sophisticated. I love it. #weaving

Hose bibs insulated, cabinets under sinks open, doors in the house open so heat can circulate, heat allowed to rage to 68 overnight instead of my usual 62, and pipes on exterior walls are dripping. I have done all I can do to protect my house built for mild winters from the low 20s tonight.

Ugh. 3:30 in the morning is the worst time of day, especially when the country is on fire.

I'm going to plug my professional work for a second. I'm getting ready to do a webinar for my friends at Gaylord where I take questions about caring for your photos. It's free and will be fun and as informative as I can make it. Register and ask questions at gaylord-archival.zoom.us/webinar/regi....

The NSFW Morse code dish towels that I wove for my sibling arrived today so I can share them with the world. I am so tickled with myself for putting something so funny together. Translation of the message is in the alt.text, so beware when you click! #weaving #MorseCode

It is hard to work on actual work when all I can think about is how my country is burning to the ground and nobody with any power to do anything about it even seems to care.

The country is a giant dumpster fire and I am spiraling. How will I ever sleep tonight? Or ever again, actually?

I have watched the opening montage from @questlove.bsky.social’s SNL music doc at least 20 times and it just keeps getting more and more magical. It’s been a real joy in a week where joy is in short supply. If you have a Peacock subscription, watch it now. You need it.

I just watched a tv show where librarian at the Liverpool Public Library handled a rare book with no gloves and explained why to the presenter. People always think they should handle rare things with gloves because “they do that on TV” so it’s a little thrill to see someone do it right!

Called my Congresspeople. Rep. Castor's office: someone answered & said they have no statement yet but are following closely. I shared my concerns. Her office is really responsive and I almost never go to voicemail there. My senators' phones went straight to voicemail. Here's my basic script.

I just used @resist.bot to contact my congresscritters about last night’s freeze of all grant and loan funding. You know I’m irate because I even let Resistbot send the letters by fax so someone has to deal with a piece of paper. You can do it too! Text Resist to 50409 to get started.
