IT'S FINALLY OCTOBER!! Here's a cross stitch pattern of a jack-o-lantern puking up all the spooky stuff. Yeah, I know, I'm gross. Find this in my etsy, fybe, or ask your favorite needlework shop to stock it! #crossstitch #StitchSky #Halloween #CraftSky

A cross stitch project stitched on bright green fabric depicting a large, jack-o-lantern, mouth wide with a bunch of small motifs spilling from their mouth. The motifs are shaped like ghosts, bones, snakes, eyeballs, skulls, bats, moons, leaves, frogs, stars, a witch's hat, and a black cat. The photo is staged with embroidery scissors, cording, candy corn, and leaves.

Five years ago, when a Seattle burger chain raised employee wages & benefits the Reicht wing lost their minds, screaming the result would be $20 burgers & the company would end in bankruptcy. Today, the chain is even more popular than ever. Never let them try to tell you a living wage can’t work.

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

To the people complaining these sex abuse cases have created a world where men now have to think 10 times before they touch a woman. Yes, that's the point. It's called consent. Welcome to human decency.

We have a newish Turkish restaurant about 13 miles away from our house.They are steadily growing a group of fans entirely by word of mouth on Faceb**k & by offering free tiny bowls of buttery chicken soup as an appetizer & cups of hot, sweet tea at the end of the meal. Superb eats! 💙

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

A pair of hand knit socks with hens on a dark grey background.

The start of a hand knit shawl. The main color is pink. I’m trying out grey, cream and lilac.

Vincent van Gogh "Olive Trees" (1889) Oil on Canvas | 73.03 x 92.08 cm (28.75 x 36.25 in). The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas #ArtSky #VanGogh

"Olive Trees" (1889) by the Dutch Post-Impressionist master Vincent van Gogh. He created this work during his self-imposed stay at the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France.
The Series: Van Gogh produced a famous series of at least 15 canvases dedicated to olive orchards between June and December 1889. He considered them among his finest and most meaningful works from his time in southern France.
A Scientific Discovery: In 2017, museum conservators at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art made headlines when they discovered a dead grasshopper embedded in the thick paint (impasto) of this exact canvas, where it had remained hidden for 128 years. The find provides unique proof that Van Gogh painted this work directly outdoors (en plein air).
