While I'm enjoying the humiliation justifiably being heaped on Senator Eric Schmitt, I don't don't think enough mockery is being directed at his accomplice, Senator Kennedy, the Cornpone Clown, with this stupidly victorious expression as he smugly holds up the ridiculous "evidence."

I am angry with the MacArthur Foundation for continuing to not award Sonya Clark a so-called genius grant. I do not begrudge those who won the award this year, I just believe Clark is a brilliant artist with profound insight. #MacArthurFoundation #SonyaClark #ArtSky #BlackHair sonyaclark.com

I've never liked ICE. Even back when they used to call themselves the Klan.

Dear yarn lovers. I have been looking for a linen/silk, lace, sock, or DK weight yarn that is only linen & silk, no wool, mohair, alpaca, cotton, etc. I have searched Ravelry and online. Why is it this hard to find? Please help! #KnitSky #Yarn #Linen #Silk #Knitter #Knits

A friend who lives in Matthews County, Virginia, was the subject of an irate letter to the local paper because she carried a large green and pink sign saying 86 47. We had a good laugh. Click to see the entire letter. #Sign8647 #MatthewsVirginia

While listening to council meetings in Montreal, local mayor Sue Montgomery decided to knit in red when men spoke and in green when women spoke, when similar numbers of both attended. Day 1 results.... #WomensArt

Every stitch tells a story of love, community, and remembrance. Volunteers across MN created the "Stolen Neighbors Quilt" with 11,000 squares to honor Minnesotans detained by ICE. Each fabric square represents a neighbor, a family member, and a life impacted by deportation. We stand for Justice!

With a few very rare exceptions the only coin minted from around the 760's to 1279 was the silver penny. Fractions would be achieved by cutting the coin, in half for a halfpenny, and quarters for a farthing (aka fourthing) From 1279 under Edward I round fractions were produced.

80 hours of embroidery! This aerial landscape is directly inspired by Dartmoor and I'd say I have another 30-ish hours to go? I'm now starting to fill in the fields for the sheep, the tor area will be done last as I'm still deciding whether I want a slope or not 😅 I hope you like it! #art
