Liss @lissrf.bsky.social · 01/03/2026Not sure if we're still doing cottagecore but I just finished baking a tart and I'm about to get back to my crochet 130
Liss @lissrf.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Once every few years, I make questionable yarn choices and start a stranded colourwork cushion cover, knit flat, with imperfect tension, which becomes a prolonged psychological war of attrition. Here is the latest. Happy Pancake Day. 020

Liss @lissrf.bsky.social · 26/01/2026So you're telling me that the app which makes you stupid, has been under surveillance by the CCP, can't be used by EU officials, and can only exist in the US by forming an independent entity there tied to Trump investments - you're telling me it's cracking down on political dissidents? 010
