I didn’t think Acacia Forgot would go to the end and her exit tonight wasn’t a surprise, but I really enjoyed her performance in the challenge. She just needed to take a cue from Sam Star (truly the 🌟 tonight) and loosen up. #DragRace #rpdr17

#KnitSky If you live in one of the countries that primarily uses the imperial system of measurement, do you measure in inches or centimeters? For everything else in my life I use inches, except knitting because it doesn't feel accurate enough so I use centimeters. Is this a thing for y'all too?

How to be a critical thinker: 1. Be 10% more skeptical of people you agree with—and 10% more charitable to those you disagree with 2. Find flaws in ideas you like—and strengths in views you dislike 3. Discount sources that peddle one narrative—and learn from those that explore competing ideas

Finished “The Bog Wife” by @kaychronister.bsky.social. Highly recommend. A dark, gothic exploration of family, ritual, and our relationship with the earth, especially that soil which we call home. #TheBogWife #Booksky

Storytelling is how we learn and grow. Our ancestors told stories to understand values, dangers, and themselves. This is why I am so disturbed by AI writing books. How will we learn, grow, and empathize with each other if the words we read originate from data centers instead of souls?

I can't stop thinking about Joella and that her last runway look was a quilted mattress. It is so tragic. For all the viewers at home who were left haunted by this (like me), she should have been given a second chance. #DragRace #RPDR17

I started the Songbird wrap cardigan by Emma Wright at the beginning of the year. Not as far as I would like, far from it (thanks to more headache days than not), but I am loving the pattern! #knitsky #knitting #wip
