I wonder also if it's sometimes because we want to protect other women's children like we hope they'd protect ours?

And one of the big ick moments about Jesus for me was when he compared the Samaritan woman to a dog and only agreed to help her child after she debased herself. I am not a fan of his. At all.

Years ago I read a book called The Misunderstood God. Each chapter was about a different aspect of love, and how the church has misrepresented Jesus/God. The unintended effect of this book on my life was a better understanding of love and an inability to see the god of the Bible as loving.

Meet Chaz, my new friend. He hangs out at my work and waits patiently for cat treats.

They're HELPING! My boy, Burnzie, likes to help me take notes.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 19/09/2025

I finished!!!! Now I have to wait until my daughter gets home so she can try on this finished project! I can't wait to show her. #knitting #HandspunYarn

They kind of remind me of soot sprites from My Neighbour Totoro.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 17/09/2025

I pet my yarn projects AND my books.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 15/09/2025

I've tried toe-up and top-down, but nothing computes with my brain at this time. You give me hope, though, that maybe in the next year or so I'll be able to knit socks if I keep trying. 💙

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

This one is super simple. There were a few other patterns I tried, but I had to rip them out because I found I couldn't read/follow them.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Gotta keep that dopamine hitting! I follow where the rabbit trail leads, and just hope I don't abandon too many projects along the way!

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

Nah. I'm pretty sure I have ADHD and this is just my current hyper-focus. My REAL goal is to knit socks, but so far that one is beyond my reach.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/09/2025

My daughter wanted a sweater. Not bad for someone who only learned to knit last Christmas, hey? I'm pretty proud of myself! AND I spun the yarn 🧶 I'm using!

My sister and I spent HOURS listening to AiO. We were obsessed. I'm an atheist married to a DM now, and I've never laid a hand on our sassy tom-boy daughter. Dobson's influence will NOT touch her.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

I am also one of those people. It's been hard learning to live in nuance and "gray" areas...I like things to be cut-and-dried or one-size-fits-all. My poison was religion.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

But I just realized you said "get laid" and I said "relationship"...and yeah, if a guy is ONLY looking to get laid, all those 6s definitely help your chances. It's not gonna fix the loneliness though...just improve your chances of one night stands.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 14/08/2025

As a woman, this argument has always baffled me. I don't know a single woman with a guy who fits that description, nor do I know any who are looking for a guy like that. And I know many women who are happily in relationships with men. I'm glad you got out.

Today's wisdom from the Scrabble tiles: Bibulous Bad Sam. Zestier.

Scrabble tiles spell out "Bibulous Bad Sam. Zestier."

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Check out my makeshift #LazyKate! It's working perfectly to hold the two strands I'm plying together into a skein 🧶 I'm #spinning for my other mother. I managed to get over 1000yds out of the coloured #fibers, so I'm hoping it's enough for her to MAKE something with! #knitting #crochet #FiberArt

Two spools of single-ply hand-spun yarn are wound thickly onto two long wooden dowels. The spool on the left is variegated purples, blues, and a deep wine red. The spool on the right is black. The ends of each spool sit neatly in the hand-holes of a small wooden crate...a sort of make-shift lazy kate if you will. Lying across the upper left corner of the crate is a handmade wooden drop spindle with the beginnings of two-ply stripey yarn.

Sweet! I read Incognegro a few years ago, and he's on my radar for graphic novelists to add to my collection.

Yeah, yours was kinda boring, honestly. And I didn't mind the blueberries. The copious amount of pickles overpowered them a bit.

Isn't it SO GOOD?!?! I think we've watched three times now? And @tetrapod.bsky.social is threatening a fourth rewatch.

Yeah, I wasn't talking to you with THAT comment. Keep on drinking.

We also see many people who are grieving where your country is at. Many of us have friends and family in the US who help us keep the perspective that not EVERY American has been drinking the orange Kool aid.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

As someone in another country, that is most definitely NOT what we see. We see an angry toddler throwing massive tantrums. And we see thousands of innocent people being terrorized and disappeared from the country that used to promote freedom. But I know you'll think I'm lying, so whatever. Carry on.

Slowly but surely Robyn is helping me overcome my fear of spiders. Isn't she so cute? There are no jumps in this clip. #JumpingSpider

Klinger has always been the main reason I watched the show.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 22/06/2025

I'm not sure if I could watch the last episode...that's the one with the chicken, right? But I'm down for the rest.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Thanks! I had so much fun carding and spinning them! There's a lot of love put into this project.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

Also. In addition to Pink Floyd currently playing in my headphones, I'm also relaxing on the porch and hopefully finishing knitting the rainbow scarf my dd wanted using the first ball of yarn I spun!

Knitted fabric in soft rainbow stripes laying across my legs. The stitches are uneven because this was the first ball of yarn I've ever spun, so it has lots of lumpy character bits. I plied it with grey wool, too, so that adds more visual texture.

Currently listening to: Wish You Were Here (album) by Pink Floyd. When my nervous system needs soothing, there's no other album that hits quite like this one.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

OOO! I love that perspective! I've had that happen with some other things, so it makes sense that it would also happen with music.

lilcoppertop🍉 @lilcoppertop.bsky.social · 16/06/2025

This is such a gateway song! It's one of two Tori songs that hooked my 7yo recently. The other is Crucify...but she calls it "Chains".

Actually, this brings to mind that weird-ass music video for A Sorta Fairytale.
