Excited that my new pattern for a #crochet summer poncho will be available later this month at Fiber Circle Studio for the 2025 Wine Country Yarn Hop. A little sneak peak for you. Details coming soon. #crochetsky

#nokingsday #SantaRosaCA where a sidewalk protest turned into a march. Peaceful demonstration and Good Trouble. Thousands strong.

California's ELECTED Senator had questions for the Homeland Security Director, but he was forcibly removed. This is AUTHORITARIANISM. There is nothing else to call it. We are past what if. We are IN it.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser: “I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

If Musk & his pals are so concerned about increasing the national debt in Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill, why don’t they cut the $664 billion in tax breaks for the 1%; the $420 billion in tax breaks for large profitable corporations; & the $150 billion in increased military spending?

An epidemiologist at Columbia had to issue a statement saying the research article RFK Jr. cited with her name is FAKE. It’s not real. The paper itself doesn’t EXIST. Yall this is fascism. FAKE scientific articles used by the government to influence policy is FASCISM. This is horrifying.

I have never made myself a blanket! I saw this mini kit by Gem State... fell in love, & decided it was time. Grabbed two 10 skein mini sets and a coordinating full skein for 2157yds. Modifying the DiagonApples scarf, which is similar to the Habitation throw pattern. Links in comments #KnitSky

Trump is telling us we can do with less while he accepts luxury bribes from dicators, authoritarians, and oligarchs around the globe. Thanks, MAGA, for all this winning.✌🏼

My kid forgot to get his his partner a boutonnière for prom tonight. He had 45 min left, so I grabbed some flowers and came up with this. (1/2)

We are not posting about Cinco de Mayo.

(1/10) Today is Nat'l Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. Hanna Harris would have been 33 years old. On the 4th of July in 2013, Harris went to Lame Deer on the Northern Cheyenne Reservation in Montana to watch the fireworks.

I design crochet/knit stuff because I want to wear it & couldn't find a pattern. Often, I write up the pattern because people ask me to. I design for bigger bodies first. I don't design for aesthetics or algorithms. I don't sell much, so when I do, it makes my day 🥰 Thanks internet person!

I will forever say "told you so". Sorry. Not Sorry.

We saw the storm brewing a mile away.

I don't know about you, but when someone is always playing the victim, my bullshit alarm goes off. I am so tired of that 🍊💩 blaming everyone else. It is so exhausting.

Something home owners don't experience, acute anxiety when their property manager sends an email.

In order for this much corruption and authoritarianism to take hold, it is important we recognize how broken the system was to get here. If we resist and pervail, we can not merely go back to what was before.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Online shopping is devastating our town squares, city services, & local economies. Localities are largely funded by sales tax revenues, yet malls are empty, stores are closing, & small businesses struggle to put food on their tables. Shop Local. Shop Small Business. It is more important than ever.

Beto is done fucking around. THIS IS THE ENERGY WE NEED. substack.com/@betomedia/n...

Watch this lady as Beto answers her question about IMMIGRANTS. She can’t believe how perfectly on point his answer is. Beto knows the subject very well.

“Democrats, who support every popular issue in this country, including this one on immigration, have shrunk from every single fight.

Paying taxes was truly painful today.

I hate Trump, but I also hate fat shaming and people asuming things about people's health. There is so much to focus on. Shut up about his height and weight.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

To all my fellow Gen Xers and Xennials, Happy Rex Manning Day! Have a cupcake and reminisce on better times for a bit. Damn the Man. Save the Empire.

Major alert: Montana may be about to pass a major anti-trans bill that charges parents with felony endangerment of a child if their child is on trans youth care. It would apply to parents just passing through the state, visiting. Would be the first law of its kind to pass anywhere. Vote is TODAY.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

The Corrupt Supreme Court Strikes Again

The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process.

So Trump has raised all these tariff taxes. Now imagine a Trump-chartered government company, and Trump giving it an exemption -- letting it sell things tariff-free. Imagine how angry you would be at that Trump entity. I've now just described what led to the Boston Tea Party.
