A drag path, but it's an open quest in my hometown that's been there for 18 years and I just can't close it out. #latenightthoughts

The score right now is 17 to 1! Do we finally have G'd on our side?

Pope Leo XIV, after AJ Pierzynski told him that the White Sox were in first place "Oh, I'm watching and paying attention, don't worry." Per Ken Rosenthal #WhiteSox

GUYS I REALLY NEED TO TALK BASEBALL WITH SOMEONE. 🤯 This game is NUTS. #whitesox

Kids you meet on vacation: My son (4) made a friend on the playground (6). Normal playing, running around. Played "bad guys", hopped on seesaw, and kid told him Americans were the good guys and Iran was the bad guys. Ended with "Are you even American?" My son, confused: "I'm from Wisconsin."

Did I buy the baklava at the farmers market solely because the baker noticed my Sailor Moon pin, and gasped at my silver crystal tattoo? Maybe, but the baklava was still delicious. The Moonie in me honors the Moonie in you.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 I hope you still have it in your heart to stitch more rainbows this month! New pattern coming soon, stitched in COSMO floss. DMC conversion included! #CrossStitch #Pride #StitchSky ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Travel day. I can tell we are in Holland (MI), because every reference we see is to tulip or a wooden shoe.

Happy #WIPWednesday, friends! Haven't shared anything in a bit, so here is a round weaving I'm working on.

And for the lady, perhaps a fucking break? 💆‍♀️

These fishies aren't quite in my usual wheelhouse, but I had been dying to do some fish— So voila! 😊 I totally love how these colors worked out, and this fabric is just ✨ chef's kiss ✨ with the silver paint. You can find this #crossstitch pattern on Patreon!! patreon.com/finefrogstit...

In "find the joy" moments that I am really working on, I did meet an excellent new work colleague, I did get to leave work early for 2 doctors appointments, and I have a new specialist I'm seeing who is wonderful And I did eat ice cream. It wasn't the ice cream I wanted, but it was ice cream.

Is there a word for when your day doesn't go as planned? Went to lunch, place was closed for the day. Got ice cream, gave me the wrong flavor. Went to the doc, got news that changes a trajectory I was on (not bad, just not what I expected). None of these are really terrible, but just annoying.

Things I ate in the last 24 hrs: - shaved beef sandwich - jalapeno broccoli cheddar soup - panko shrimp - thc lemon soda - multiple empanadas - fancy chocolate - beef sticks - lobster roll We missed our shot at Jamaican beef patties, but otherwise a solid trip to Milwaukee's 3rd Ward.

Ope, hi hello. Anyway, some stuff I did this spring... March: Went to the closing of my undergrad theatre program. RIP Alma. April: Ran a WRJ Day of Action event and made 100+ abortion comfort care kits for Planned Parenthood May: Outwitted, Outplayed, Outlasted my work adversary. And stitched. 🪡

Happy Fri-yay, where instead of writing my silly little PM reports I just want to craft something with my hands. Who else can relate?

There's a cafe that specializes in middle eastern desserts that I go to maybe once a month. The woman who makes the desserts does fantastic work. But there's some lore there - her business partner is her ex? But they seem like besties? Obviously, I need to investigate (eat more warbat kashta).

Today's happy news is that my mom finished radiation treatments this week and gets her port out in two weeks. We can officially say she kicked cancer's ass. 💪🏼🩷

It's February 5th and I am over a month into my pattern no-buy. I had a couple of exceptions: -Two Patreons (been cycling between designers to help support their work) - One donation-based pattern (because I was donating to the org anyway, so why not?) #crossstitch

I've got a new pattern for y'all ✨ #art #crossstitch

Sometimes I think project managers were born from the group assignment in high school/college. We are A+ students who will never let one person drag down our grade ever again. #projectmanagers #projectmanagementproblems

Happy February! 🥰 This pattern, Deep Sea Duet, is February's #crossstitch Patreon pattern! ⠀ I'm SUPER excited with how this lighting effect turned out! I originally had something else slated for this month, but once I designed these lil guys I couldn't resist 😊 💖 patreon.com/finefrogstit...

Beneath the depths sits a fountain, impossibly flowing, each stray droplet awakening a playful new life. "Fountain of the Depths" is February's Patreon pattern! www.patreon.com/InfinityBear... #CrossStitch #Embroidery #StitchSky

Today in project management problems: a person who only schedules time to cover his problem items from 1-3pm on Fridays, causing Sunday Scaries and Monday Chaos. In this essay, I will explore how this affects my mental health and contributed to 2 Energy Drink FAFO Kat.

The action we take today grows into the better world of tomorrow. Plant seeds of justice with T'ruah this Tu BiShvat: truah.org/donate

Two energy drinks have turned me from Detroit Kat into FAFO Kat and I regret nothing.

Anyway, I have been crafting more because it's been incredibly grounding for my mental health. No shock there. Today, I colored valentines with a group at work. A few days ago, kinusaiga. Last week, weaving. Tonight I'll frog my cross stitch, but be back stitching again tomorrow.
