The U.S. government has put up a submission form for reporting schools who teach kids about “DEI.” It accepts file uploads. Internet, you know what to do enddei.ed.gov

And in Canada, please support small businesses instead. 🇨🇦

Made a treat-yourself purchase of a crossbody bag from @yarnandwhiskey.bsky.social. Pictures don’t do the fabric justice; so gorgeous!

#showmeyourknits I don’t do a ton of lace knitting, but this is definitely my favorite lace project. Pattern is Ghost Knitters Shawl by @ambahobrien.bsky.social

Texas refuses to analyze maternal mortality data, so Pro Publica did: It shows that the rate of maternal deaths in Texas rose 33% between 2019 and 2023 even as the national rate fell by 7.5%. If only women had the same rights as a zygote. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

#showmeyourknits Currently working on a Northeasterly blanket, Thornbush sweater, and a blanket hoodie. I think I need a small project to work on since these are all going to take a while to finish. #knitting 🧶

🧵"So this is how liberty dies..." Trump’s first 3 weeks have been a relentless flood of actions. It's incredibly hard to keep up. I’ve gone through 69 actions & mapped out the pattern - showing how they fall within 5 broad domains consistent with authoritarian states 1/9

#showmeyourknits heart socks in pink! Sock set from @woolandvinyl.bsky.social

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

Republicans have been ordered by their billionaire Puppet Master to end Medicare as we know it. Democrats have 215 members in the House who can stop this extreme effort. All we need is three House Republicans to join us.

Scrap sweater progress. Body is finished and sleeves are started. I’m knitting the sleeves TAAT to keep the color changes consistent-I love TAAT socks, but sleeves are 🫠 #knitting 🧶

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

#showmeyourknits I have a lot of striped knits, but this is one of my favorites. A Rock It by @tanisfiberarts.bsky.social knit in fingering and alpaca/silk by Shirsty Cat. The yarn was originally a Sorrel, but I didn’t love the yarn held together. They look great in stripes, though! #knitting 🧶

#showmeyourknits Harley sweater with guest appearance by Sabine 🧶#knitting

#wipwednesday Currently knitting a rainbow sweater using dk and fingering weight scraps. Because we could all use a little more rainbow in our lives right now. #knitting 🧶

Finally added buttons to my advent calendar cardigan. The yarn is the 2024 Candyland advent from @risingtidefiberco.bsky.social. Hopefully it warms up soon so I can wear it!

Just got my kickstarter yarn from Ula + Lia. This color is gorgeous! I went with the cashmere/wool blend in DK this year.

New social media adventures! Here’s my first FO of the year, knit with some of my handspun. No pattern, just some tubes turned into a cowl and headband
