New episode! Between travel, flu & a fascist coup, it’s been a minute. Lots of WIP /FOs + #craftivism ideas from Friday Morning Charity, Lovepetals Crochet & @oldrustedchair.bsky.social I also talk about resources I find helpful in pushing back against the white supremacist takeover in progress. 🧶

The Sen Ds did what they could but the whole game is in the House. I need @tedlieu.bsky.social and every last D say not one single vote for a budget that doesn’t address every D issue. They must make the Rs have 100% yeas. We’ll likely lose but stop caving. Then it’s up to us to wreck the economy.

In my #sockera, I suppose. Finished 2 pair so far this year and can’t wait to start another! Definitely feel like I’m honing in on “my recipe”. Still exploring heels and look forward to trying some different construction from Cat Borghi. Feel like I’ve finally caught the bug. #sockknitting 🧶

I keep saying it. Y’all better stop buying that grocery store meat and prewashed salads. US food supply was never that great but it’s about to get really filthy and diseased.

Elon Musk is an idiot on an almost inconceivable scale. He had his high-school toadies pull a random list from a database he doesn’t understand, and on that basis alone decided that 60 MILLION SOCIAL SECURITY ENROLLEES, out of 72 million total, are fraudulent. 83% fraudulent!

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

I will never not be angry at the smug assholes who spent the entire election saying that Trump didnt actually care about trans issues & it was all performance or the ppl that cynically said there was zero difference btwn Trump & Biden/Harris on trans rights

Remind me when George Soros or his son Alexander Soros shut down government agencies, hijacked the Treasury Department, and stole our social security numbers?

Hear me out — If parents call colleges freaked about their FAFSA data being leaked, schools may have to issue statements — which would reach a whole lot more families about how warped this is. Organizing isn’t always calling electeds. Sometimes it’s just calling people with a bigger megaphone.

Whether it’s Central American migrants entering our country to find work and a better way of life or South African oligarchs entering government buildings to steal our Social Security numbers, our nation is under assault from abroad as never before.

If you don't think Social Security & Medicare are next, you're not paying attention. If you voted for this, you deserve all that's coming. I've spent my entire life a bleeding heart for others less fortunate, but I have no drops left for you. I feel nothing... except for your children. Damn you all.
