Bad news everyone, cotton yarn is not a good material for mittens that could be worn in cold and wet climates. I'm taking the project a part to use the yarn for something more fitting.

Great news everyone, I know how to make mittens now.

My dog loves going on walks. My dog loves being in a perfectly air-conditioned environment. My dog does not understand why she can not have both at the same time.

The truest expression of love i have ever shown is letting my socks get wet so Piper can play in the park sprinklers

I want to thank Jacob Wysocki on behalf of Piper for making a character who has hair as soft as dog ears so she gets plenty of head scratches.

While going through my Grandparents' papers I found protest songs & chants, lists of visits to elected officials, and records of donations. There isn't one "right" way to win the world we want to live in so we have to use every method of power at our disposal to get there.

While cleaning out my grandparents' things, I found notes from my Grandpa tracking his new medications and symptoms. I didn't know he liked to doodle in the margins. These pages look a lot like the ones in my notebooks.

The 5th Investigators book "Braver and Boulder" By John Patrick Green feels like a conclusive ending to the series, but there are more books after this for me to check out and read from the library. The series is fun and witty, and this book alludes to challenges with PTSD

We returned to the library the 4th book in the Investigators series by John Patrick Green. Filled with witty and whimsical wordplay, this book is about facing our fear, guilt, and shame and moving to a place of self-compassion and forgiveness. Also, there are giant ants. #Booksky #Library

Piper fully understands where we're going when I say "library" which means I recently returned "I feel awful, thanks" By Lara Pickle which is about a young adult witch learning about the magic of emotional regulation. It is super fun and thr illustrations are stunning #Booksky #Library

I don't think I have ever met a dog who hates the rain as much as Piper does. Anyway, climate change is causing more frequent and intense rainfall events and you can protect my dog from future discomfort by following me here to learn more un-fun facts & how we can change them

I dropped off my mail-in ballot at an official drop-off location to make sure my vote to protect my communities gets counted this year! Piper was more interested in the promised trip to the park on the way back than posing with my ballot. Find your drop-off location: vote.pa/return

What can you do if you're stopped by ICE or the police outside? Remain silent. Ask “Am I free to go?” If they say yes, walk away. If they say no, say “I am using my right to remain silent” Learn more: www.apipennsylvania.org/know-your-ri... #KnowYourRights #Dog

There are very real consequences to people posting fake and fictional things on the internet and presenting them as real, but also how boring do you have to be to seek attention by posting AI-generated videos?? Just find a real dog and let people know they exist! This is Piper!

I was at a conference last week and started a new project- my first-ever cardigan! This is the project that will be with me when I'm traveling and I'm excited to see how it works up! I took a photo after finishing each skein of yarn

I literally own a coffee mug that says, "Don't mess with my coffee or my civil rights." This is deeply important to me because I love this mug even though it isn't dishwasher-safe. It is from CAIR Philadelphia - it is a perfect message, and you can support them by donating: pa.cair.com/donate/

It's trans day of visibility! It feels dangerous and scary to be perceived right now even though I am surrounded by supportive and loving people. One thing that made me feel less afraid was going for a walk in the park with a friend and looking at flowers. What has been bringing you joy lately?
