I did not realize I had been date raped until years later. Prior to that I was full of shame for giving in.

Again and again russia destroys Ukrainian books. After each strike on a book warehouse, I film how Kyiv bookstores react. Today, my favourite one. In the video: some books by Knygolove, whose warehouse was hit yesterday. The bookstore asks people to support affected publishers by buying a book.

Eileen Blair, from South Shields, UK, was believed to have had a large influence on her husband George Orwell's writing. 'Nineteen Eighty-Four's title and idea is thought to be inspired by one of her poems - 'End of the Century, 1984' #womensart

Zoo Station, a novel by David Downing about an English journalist, resident of Berlin, set late 1938 & 1939. Definite parallels to current events. My parents met on a bicycle trip through Germany Summer 1939, age 16 & 18. It amazes me how oblivious they were to what was all around them. #BookSky

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

Richmond is dreadfully hot for months in the summer. I want to make the Umbria Summer Top by Cookie the Knitter. I find linen is less stretchy than cotton & think silk will add a nice texture. I could always hold two strands together but prefer them blended.

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
