I’m thinking about asking the library if I can run a #mending coop once a month. Would appreciate advice from anyone who has done something similar. What supplies are most important etc. #VisibleMending #MutualAid #ClothingRepair

I’m visiting conservative family in a red state. I’ve done this hundreds of times since moving away in my 20s but this has been the hardest visit yet. I have such a respect for progressives living in hostile areas and still being strong day in and day out. I have it so much easier in NY.

I just got the weirdest text from Breeze alerting me that there won’t be any Wi-Fi on my flight tomorrow. What fresh DOGE-inflicted cutback is this now? I don’t even care, I’ll be reading my book. I just want to get there and home in one piece please and thank you. #AirTravel #BreezeAirline

I had every intention of cancelling Prime and switching to Target Circle 360. But I refuse to do so until they reinstate their DEI initiatives. #DEI #Target

Four of the ten folks who sang for the hospital staff on Valentine’s Day now have the flu. Including me. I missed today’s protest and my head is swollen like a balloon. Thank you to the cast and crew of #TheOffice for keeping me company.

My barbershop chorus was hired by a local hospital to sing for the staff today. It’s a small gesture but we gave them 100% to show how much we appreciate their hard work. They deserve all our thanks and more.

You know what MIGHT make these unprecedented times a little more tolerable? Another season of one of those bonkers British TV competition shows like Glow Up or Next in Fashion. Those soothe my aching brain.

Psych. They killed the bill. Why? To keep tr*mp off their asses re congestion pricing. Someone explain to me slowly why he can manipulate a blue state’s policies while talking about red states’ rights out of the other side of his mouth?

I’m determined to learn canning this year. My mom gave me my aunt’s old pressure canner years ago and I never even looked at it. Clearly it needs a cleaning and a new gasket. The copyright in the instruction booklet says 1958. 😳 #canning #pressurecanning #foodpreservation

Check on your chronic people-pleaser friends, because I guarantee you they’re losing their goddamn minds trying to stay informed, make their calls to their legislators, and tend to their own mental wellbeing while also doing plain old life stuff.

#horror #horrormovies I'm probably one of the last to finally see Longlegs but I have a question and would love some insight. To avoid spoilers for the one other person who hasn't seen it, I've put the question in the alt text.

Positive: NY dems in Albany make way for potential guardrails in the House by delaying the special election to replace Stefanik. This is huge. GOP will file suit but delaying is key. If Florida comes through we may have a chance to hold back the tide of immoral policy in DC.

My chorus director is feeling a little depressed because she’s focusing on getting us ready for competition but can’t stop thinking about how inconsequential it is compared to the world on fire. I reminded her that the arts are part of what we fight for. And we can’t let go of that now.

I was scrolling through the knitting subreddit today and saw a photo where someone had one leg of a stitch stretched over two rows wondering how to fix it. My first thought was “zoom out”. So many problems are nearly invisible when you look at the full picture. Another life lesson from knitting. 🧶

I dreamed the moon exploded. I watched a fireball heading straight for me & laid down to die. Then nothing happened. I sat up & looked around & thought “what now?” It was the most accurate dream about American politics I ever had. I won’t let it destroy me, so I have to figure out what comes next.

Years ago I was moving a donation basket from one place to another at an auction and I accidentally smacked an older lady in the head with it. I still squirm when I think about it, which I do far too often. But today I thought “you know, she’s probably dead” and I think I can let it go now. Maybe.

Lord y’all it’s been a week. Two protests, lots of emails and phone calls, and way too much news. But it’s finally rehearsal day for my barbershop chorus and I’ve been looking forward to giving my brain a break from current events.

I’d love to find a pattern that details how to crochet an insert into knitted fabric like this, multiple searches coming up empty. Credit Reddit user SvetlanaYG for the photo, who got the pattern locally. #knitsky #crochetsky #knitting #crochet 🧶

Got another one today. He actually had some content and followed a few non-women. But I checked his ”replies” tab and that gave it away. “You’re so beautiful” over and over. He’s targeting the yarny 🧶 community. Some of us may be old but that doesn’t mean we’re not savvy. The opposite in fact.
