I’m so excited for this and it just happens to be on my birthday!! As a March baby, this is the first time in my life I’ll get to have an exciting baseball game happen on my birthday.💙

Got my vote in for David Gottfried in district 40B!☑️ Nice to see my polling place decently busy for a special election. Looking forward to having representation for my district in the MN House again.

Another pair of socks finished! These are the Stillwater Socks (pattern by Summer Lee) and I knit them using the January Garden Stroll sock set ‘Frozen Lake’ from @kettlehearthfibers.bsky.social 😍🧶 #knitsky

My first finished knitting project of 2025! The pattern is the Sweet New Start Socks from Marie-Elyse Dugal and the yarn is a sock set from Tippy Tree Yarns. Really fun project!🧶 #knit #knitsky

Adding #knit #knitsky 🧶 Profits from all sales now through Sunday will be donated to @u24.gov.ua in support of the efforts in Ukraine. I will also personally match all donations. Please share far & wide #SmallBusiness #BeTheLight #knitters #crochet 🧶 www.kettleandhearthfibers.com

Working on decluttering my apartment and I just pulled this iPod Nano out of a box. How long has it been since this box was last opened??😱😱🤣

I said I’d report back, so: miracle of miracles, I woke to find my federal tax refund in my bank account this morning.🎉

Feeling like a guinea pig this morning, as I submitted my tax return over the weekend. I have zero expectation at this point that I’ll actually get my federal refund, but I’ll let y’all know, I guess.🤷‍♀️

Watching the Tracy Chapman & Luke Combs ‘Fast Car’ performance from last year’s Grammys as self-care tonight.❤️

Well, I learned my lesson the hard way. Too much doomscrolling at the beginning of last week led to complete burnout & a massive headache by Saturday. I’m definitely going to have to figure out a better way to stay informed going forward. I physically can’t afford many more weeks like this past one.

I’m glad the “sin of empathy” stuff is getting some mainstream attention finally. This post in 2019 is where it originated (the phrase, anyway, certainly not the theology behind it). www.desiringgod.org/articles/the...

Quote skeet with a bridge from your gallery:

Being very Minnesotan tonight and eating ice cream while the outside ‘feels like’ temperature is -33.

Perfect, a viral photo can be called a hot flash.

A bureaucratic coup d’etat, smiling its way to power, is still a coup.

Geez, just got another email about a yarn dyer closing up shop. That’s the third one so far this year. This is really bumming me out.😢

Drop something black and white

Still figuring out how I want to use Bluesky, but, for now, here’s my most recent finished knitting project. I’ve avoided knitting with dark yarn for a really long time because someone I considered an expert told me I should. Really glad I ignored that advice for these socks.😍🧶

Yep, I’m officially on board the Vikings bandwagon. (The announcers for this game were just welcoming people aboard.😂)

If you see this, post a concert pic you took

🤩

I’m trying to figure out why I heard Fast Car on the radio so much when I was in college, in MN in the early 2000s. I think 104.1 The Point must’ve had it on heavy rotation.🤔

One of the ways in which these women probably identify as liberal is that they don't prioritize finding a partner *if* it means giving up more than they're willing to give up. So this is circular, this idea that you should change your values to achieve at any cost a goal your values don't ... value.

The windchill is -3 and I just saw someone take the trash out with shorts on. Gotta love Minnesota.😂

“He’s got more room in his Jockey shorts.” RIP.

Beginning to seriously question whether the sun is ever coming out again.😢

All of the socks I knit this year, 13 pairs in total.

I’m here! Seems kind of fitting that I got my invite code right at the end of the year. New year, new social media account.
