Doctor Who fans, help? I vividly remember an episode where everyone in the world is unable to resist getting a free cell phone. Soon everyone has them. And then bad things happen. Am I misremembering? Was it not Doctor Who? Google and DW episode lists are failing me.

Half-assed PT eval diagnosed carpal tunnel (aaaagh) and dequervain’s. Going to a new PT Tuesday for (hopefully!) more than just a cursory set of tests and a 5-minute laser session. Google reviews lie. Take care of your hands and writer, folx. I’m going stir crazy trying to rest mine. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m freaking out. I spent quite a bit of time playing a PS5 game (borderlands 4). For several months. And over the last week, I’ve been crocheting up a storm on a hexagranny cardigan. This morning, my right hand was numb. One of the 2 hands I had fixed with carpal tunnel surgery 10 years ago.

While we're talking menopause and HRT, this is very important info that I didn't get until I was 63. Even if you can't take HRT, vaginal estrogen (like Vagifem) is for more than sexual function. It helps keep your urinary tract functioning properly. The importance of this cannot be overstated.

While we're talking, if you're in peri-menopause and haven't talked to your doctor about hormone replacement therapy, PLEASE DO ASAP. Learn your options. New science in the last year shows the risk is much less than previously believed, and you have a short window to start before it's unsafe.

Where my late-diagnosed neurodivergent peeps at? AuDHD, diagnosed last year. I'm 64. How's that for late? The ADHD diagnosis happened in the early stages of the pandemic. That meant titrating meds when my anxiety level was already off the charts.

Sharing a good experience: we had a car to sell and the dealer offered us a measly $1200 over the lease buyout cost. So I went to clutch.ca and they offered $4k. And today, they picked up the car, inspected it, and the money was in our account within an hour. Way easy. However...

Oh ffs, this is just stupid and lazy. Not a trace of real interest in showing how knitting works. Everyone's being let down by #Gameofwool, even Tom Daley. I'm very disappointed in the judges not insisting on better. Surprised no-one jumped ship when they realised quite how rubbish it really is.

also, WHAT IS THIS AI SLOP DOING ON THE KNITTING SHOW? it's becoming so obvious that the producers don't actually care about knitting at all and just wanted a quirky game show format #GameofWool

Treated myself to one of the few non-wool beauties at today’s Hamilton Fibre Market @ Cotton Factory. Black to orange gradient named “I Choose the Bear.” Hell yes I do! Dyer is Stitch Noir 🖤Alpaca/linen(!!)/silk - great for someone who overheats easily (me). What shawl should I knit? 🧶 #hamont

Storytime. Buckle up. Yesterday, hub, lovely inlaws and Skypuppy and I were driving to Ajax on the 407 (highway). The rain was coming down hard, and visibility wasn't great. Grey everywhere around, but I could at least see the cars around me in all directions. I was driving, and not enjoying it.

Antifa, help me! I need an idea for my sign for tomorrow's #NoTyrants protest in Toronto. Would love it to involve being a knitter, but cannot come up with something and will not use AI to help. Anyone? I've got markers and foam core. Just need the right words. www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

We don’t put up with would-be kings in the US. There has been a time change from our original 11 am, due to the Toronto Waterfront Marathon 5K route—our area won’t be clear until noon. Expect road clo...
