WTF is she talking about "greater comfort"? Is it really comforting to parents that some children are not protected? If you are comforted that not every student can feel safe and equal at school gtfo my timeline. thnx.

Is it possible to be so iconic and beloved that you become, in some institutional kind of way, underrated? That's Tim Curry. A guy who did every kind of gig as well as era-defining parts. A consummate jobbing actor who nonetheless pushed buttons and redefined masculinity for decades.

Hey, guys, when the librarians get pissed about the destruction of books, it’s time to put those listening ears on. Because we are very comfortable with the idea that books are tools that can be retired. What’s happening right now is not that.

WIP 🧶Look At My Holes sweater in a 50/50 cotton linen blend Bomull-lin by Drops in black. I modified James N Watts' pattern and did an I-cord neckline instead of ribbing and also increased the length by 2.5 repeats and am adding long sleeves with ribbed cuffs. I'm waiting for one more ball of yarn.

Black sweater with a netlike design that just needs sleeves finished.

There is no such thing as “mild” autism. If an autistic person is not “obviously” autistic, either they are masking for their safety or others’ convenience, or they are actually getting the supports & accommodations they need—so they aren’t forced to demonstrate distress or dysregulation. #autism

Making cordage out of raffia grass while watching Nasa and kinda in awe of the tech. Here is the most ancient tech we have as humans, it changed everything and here is our most recent tech and it changes everything. We've done a lot in 40,000 years. I sure hope we get to keep it for 40,000 more. 🧶

Finally trying out Nålbinding. Suki is,(always) very interested in what I'm working on and chin rubbinz.

A wooden spool of blue wool thread, two bone beads with runes on them and a three inch long flat bone needle for nålbinding.

The nålbinding needle tucked into a linen bracelet. The needle has some work on it in the same handspun linen. There is a striped kitty trying to get my attention.

Kitty Suki does not understand personal space as my hand rests with nålbinding tucked into bracelet and kitty's head now 1 millimeter away from my project.

My hand is now giving underchin skritches because she demands all of my attention and thinks I should give her the bone needle and yarn after pettins.
