Can anyone suggest a nice variegated sock #yarn for a neck warmer/snood? All I'm finding are speckled things that look muddy when knitted up. #knitting

Big audit at work this week. I know from past experience that I'm going to be exhausted every day. So I cooked 2 pots of food this afternoon. Cannelini beans and sausage with rice, and chicken sausage pilaf. Beans are in the fridge. Pilaf is cooling down. I'm a little tired, but we have food.

The fallacy here is the implication that the bots are independent, and making their own decisions. They can only do what they're programmed and allowed to do. Computers cannot be held accountable. People can. If the computer is designed by people & does wrong, it's the fault of the builders.

Not sure that the talking heads discussing the regime using an antiquated piece of software to screen out voters is "assisting" state and local voting officials. That word clearly doesn't mean what you think it means.

Oh, someone is being extra pissy today. Can't take the heat, Donnie? Get out of the fucking kitchen. Get out of our house, while you're at it.

Just watched @grangerforla.bsky.social doing a spot on Amanda's Mild Takes. Let's talk about not just the wildlife impacts (massive) and the lack of tax dollars (seems abstract until it hits). We have to tie the corruption & secrecy directly to how we are getting screwed. It's theft in the dark.

I want to start a pool of money so we can pay journalists to ask Donald questions that we, the people submit. Mine: is it painful to be that stupid, or is your boorish ignorance also an anesthetic?

So y'all know I have to drive out to Alabama pretty much once a month. While traversing Mississippi, I saw at least 10 anti-Flock signs. They had an image of Flock camera and the words WE DO NOT CONSENT on them. Mass surveillance is not a partisan issue. None of us want it.

There's a reason I like the AP. They're a "just the facts, ma'am" kind of outfit, which means no dumb hallucinations of a dementia-addled dumpster fire masquerading as President.

Corporate America has competition. It's called We the People, and they had to keep this SpaceX fiasco secret from us. Louisiana is getting shafted by Ladry. Vermillion Parish is on the chopping block. youtube.com/shorts/_gXpA...

It's one of those days where all I want is sleep. I made soup w/ canned chicken, "Greek" chickpeas in olive oil, & random root veggies b/v it's got nutrients but not a lot of effort is required. Been having too many of these days lately. Doctor should have some ideas. I see him later this week.

Does anyone have experience with book layout that has illustrations? Hoping for resources for layout/ format. Specifically ebook publishing, but if there's resources for both digital and dead-tree editions, I'll take it. I imagine they would require different layout. #writing #publishing

My dad once said I drive like Steve McQueen. It... wasn't a compliment, coming from him. But McQueen was very cool, so I'm not gonna be mad about it.

I'm about ready to start making scripts for people to call their Republican Congress critters. Like, for Bill Cassidy: How does a person make it through medical school without the brains to know a man is dog-walking you in public?

The first rule of dealing is NEVER GET HIGH ON YOUR OWN SUPPLY. Donnie didn't hear that one, I guess. Please, continue making a midterm election about yourself while burning our tax dollars and every shred of American dignity. I'm sure it will work out FINE.

Check your registration weekly from here on out. Make it part of your routine. Set an alarm. Because voter suppression doesn't wait around for you to remember to check things out.

I wrote so much today. Also, I was trying to keep a list of all my characters and where they show up so I can hand it off to someone for illustration purposes, but it's so clunky. This is gonna be a spreadsheet, I can feel it.

Okay, look. The first commandment of social gatherings is "Thou shalt have more than a passing acquaintance with soap, water, and a stick of deodorant." (Actually, this is the first rule of cosplay I learned during a costuming panel at Dragon Con in the early 00s, but it still holds)

Strawberries and some cream I whipped. Less than 5 minutes and I have a nice snack. The cat keeps looking at it, though. I can only eat standing in the kitchen.

I come by "y'all" honestly. I grew up in the American South. Others who did will understand when I respond to this kind of "I could have just kept scrolling but decided to put my foot in it instead" discourse with: BLESS YOUR HEART.

I had a friend when I was in college who wanted to wall off Ohio and fill it with Jurassic Park dinosaurs so they would eat all the Ohioans. Not sure what his beef with OH was, but maybe we can make this plan more interesting with some dinos?

This is a toddler's tantrum. Instead of throwing alphabet blocks across the room, he's trying to crash the economies of every country connected to ours. You're not gonna get your 51st state, Donnie. Nobody wants to play with you. Nobody likes you other than Natalie.

Some people might not be aware, but it is entirely possible that without Dolly Parton we wouldn’t have had a COVID vaccine. She partly funded Moderna’s research and gave the largest individual contribution to make it all happen. Just gives you an idea of the kind of person she was.

I think we need to talk about the difference between ELECTION fraud and VOTER fraud. Voter fraud is when someone votes for their dead mom by mail. (Individual) Election fraud is when voter rolls get purged, strawman candidates are used, or you have fake electors. (Institutional)
