Kade Peregrine@kadeperegrine.bsky.social · 2mo agoYou start knitting and you can't find the pattern you want so you start drafting patterns, then you go "well yarn is expensive, maybe I can spin my own", so you get a wheel and a drop spindle, but then you have this cardigan you can't find exactly the right buttons for...
Barney! He's a very croaky boy at the moment, which does not bode well for his desexing appointment on Friday. It's all URI and if he was a toddler I'd encourage them to cough all the gunk up, but kittens are even worse at English than toddlers are.
THIS THIS THIS. So many people tell me "I don't know if I really NEED a cane..." and friends, as a Certified Disabled Person (tm), I am begging you, if you think there's ANY way it might help you even a LITTLE, try it! If it helps, keep using it! You don't even have to use it all the time!
Nome@nome.bsky.social · 2mo agoSide note: If a walking stick or cane seems like a fun accessory, I (as a disabled person who has had to use a cane from time to time) heartily encourage you to use one! And if it at all makes your life easier, I encourage you EVEN HARDER TO KEEP USING IT.
about to get on an Amtrak train and just prepared a bunch of beets that i hand-peeled without gloves, because the vibe i want to project into the world right now is "might have actually murdered the last guy who had a phone conversation in the Quiet Car"
The sole, solitary, unitary reason the Bay Area became the center of the US startup world is because at the time today's current startup model formed, California was the only state that completely banned noncompete agreements in all forms of employment, period.

oh, hey, I remembered it's Wednesday in time to post a #wipwednesday photo! I was matched with this project by @looseendsproject.bsky.social and have spent about 30 hours on it so far while on Yeeterus Recovery I've never done so much confetti stitching 😅 but my technique is definitely improving
I have no kids. I am middle class. And I say: raise my taxes if you have to, but just provide breakfast and lunch to every school kid every school day without means testing.
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Seattle City Council just voted 6-3 to approve Joy Hollingsworth's amendment to delay universal school lunches for kids, replacing them with vouchers for qualifying low-income parents to buy groceries over school breaks and weekends. Eddie Lin, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, and Rob Saka voted no.
"People shouldn't have kids if they can't afford them". OK, so, even if that is true ... they do anyway. Are you going to punish the kid because of choices their parents made? Deal with the reality we have rather than your notion of what people "should" do.
I've made this point before, but it bears repeating at intervals: Yes, every kid, regardless of their parent(s)' income. Why? Well, there are many reasons, but let's go with just the top few.

I need a meme where Satan is checking his tracking info for Mitch McConnell's soul and it says "label created."

Baltimore City problems: when the restaurant charges you both the City and County bag fees because someone doesn't know independent cities exist
Benoit Blanc (incredulous): Is this nominally august chamber even fully cognizant of how many of its number have slipped the veil?

🎃 Decorative Gourd Mikell 🎃@mikell.bsky.social · 3mo agoI appreciated this Wired review of this chair that I will almost certainly be buying and also I love that whoever created this graphic knows exactly who this chair is for www.wired.com/review/amsea...
One of the favorite hobbies of every religion major in my undergrad program was sitting in on the first lecture of the chair's four-semester cycle on the Bible even if we'd taken it already. They qualified under TWO gen ed requirements and every semester, they filled up with people who thought--

I'm amused by how we're so starved for consequences for bad behavior that many non-Catholics are popcorning over every Vatican press release someone in a position of power has a moral compass-- even if it's not one I fully agree with-- and is holding their subordinates accountable! amazeballs!

people talk about how before the internet you just had to "be okay with not knowing things" with any immediacy and honestly i was never remotely okay with that. i spent every minute of my life pre-internet just wildly frantically trying to look up whatever random thing floated across my mind
