Busy couple of months #knittingsocks 🧶 🧦 Knitting helps me avoid some of the doom scrolling and associated exhaustion and anger with the state of our world.

Currently on my needles in the #KnittingSocks category, I have a simple pair of stocking stitch using my usual recipe (both knit through the cuffs) and also this pair using the Fairy Maiden pattern by This Handmade Life (available on Ravelry). Just starting the heel flaps on these.
Two brown/orange socks knit through the legs with cable pattern.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Trump made $400m from his dinner tomorrow night. Along with the plane + improvements the dude pocketed $1b this week leveraging the Presidency. $1 billion - while he cuts health care for seniors and working people and raises prices on all of us.

Apparently, when I have three or more active WIPs, I fail to finish any of them. Am currently knitting 🧶 socks, my second ranunculus sweater, and the temperature project and they are all languishing.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Every interview I’ve done with international media has included the question: “Why are there no mass protests?” - with the assumption being that Americans are either all on board or just too lazy. Really important to push back hard against such notions. The failure is on the institutional level.
