Ain’t no party like a #crochet by myself wine party, because a crochet by myself wine party can be done at home with my cats and an episode of Midsommar Murders and I don’t need to talk to anyone ✨😃🍷 #socialbutterfly #dontshowthistomytherapist #knitsky #catdad #lgbtq #fiberarts #yarn 🧶

You might not see it in the mainstream media, but over 10,000 people protested today at Tesla showrooms across the country, another 10,000+ rallied in support of national parks, and more than 1,000 gathered in Vermont to protest Vance’s visit.

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

I’ve been channeling my political anxiety into learning crochet for 3 weeks now. Here’s my first ever crochet project on top of my latest. As a queer person in these times, it’s so precious to find things that bring me joy and pride. Joy is resistance. 🧶 #crochet #knitsky #lgbtq #amigurumi

Back to #amigurumigeddon2025 with this #LGBTQ Chonkasaurus that I crocheted as a gift for my friend’s baby daughter! Stoked with the Pokémon-style eyes I #embroidered, because apparently “safety eyes” aren’t safe for babies 😅 🧶 #knitsky #crochet #amigurumi #pride #dinosaur #fiberart #cute #yarn

Tiny dancer! Photo from my collection, no documented date/info.

Black and white photo of a stout middle aged woman with dark hair standing outside on a scrubby dead lawn. She is leaning forward and holding the forepaws of a shorthaired tabby cat so that it is “dancing” with her on its hind legs. She seems to be smiling at the cat and maybe talking to it.

This is the current state of our country. With all the pressing issues that everyday Americans are faced with, trans people, who by the way comprise only 1% of the US population should be the least of their worries. It’s all a distraction from their hands being in your pockets.

As I note from time to time, Douglas Adams sure did know some stuff.

Quote from Hitchhiker’s Guide:

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it. To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job. To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.

I'm not well so I'm watching Fleetwood Mac performances and, if it's been a while since you watched the Silver Springs video where Stevie Nicks flays Lindsey Buckingham alive with just her voice and her eyes while Mick Fleetwood is having the *time of his life*, you should watch it again.

Close up of Stevie Knicks singing as if she's trying to drive every note into Lindsey Buckingham's jugular vein

Two-shot of Nicks and Buckingham where the latter is leaning forward as if in a gale force wind of the former's rage

Reverse shot of Nicks where Buckingham looking like he wishes he'd taken up the tin whistle instead

Mick Fleetwood playing the drums with the biggest smile on his face, presumably because, he is not currently Lindsey Buckingham and they're not playing the songs that Nicks wrote about him in this show
