comment by @this_fckn_guy: Absolute best case scenario, giving him every benefit of the doubt, we have a guy running for office in a time when fascism is coming back in a big way, who wouldn't recognize a Nazi image if it were tattooed on his chest.

Started a #Northeasterly scrap blanket. I already frogged this & started over bc it wasn't good enough, but it's a great pattern to bang out a couple rows when you have a few minutes. Been thinking about knitting on the bus, this might be the perfect project. #ShowMeYourKnits
A knitting project on circular needles with DK weight yarn. The pattern makes a narrow column of angled stitches in a chevron pattern which will later be joined with other columns to make a blanket.

Dec. 24, 2009: It's been misty in PDX for two days. From my old Tumblr, the only good social media.
A bus stop sign on a cold misty morning. Everything past the sign is increasingly hard to make out as the mist obscures details.

New reason to be mad about #AI: I just had to explain to my kiddo that Disney has NOT made an Encanto sequel and it is NOT coming out at the end of the year, and the "AI overview" when you Google "Encanto 2" is quoting an "idea wiki" and is NOT real
Screenshot of a Google search for "Encanto 2" and an AI overview that claims a sequel will be released on August 25, 2024, which is falseScreenshot of the "idea wiki" from which Google's AI pulled the information about an imaginary film called Encanto 2: A New Generation

Timeless advice from @chuckwendig.bsky.social
A series of posts by Chuck Wendig that say "We've a lot of anger, grief, trauma to unpack. A labyrinth of feelings to untangle. Take a moment every day to breathe deep, to keenly feel what lies inside that space between your heart and your stomach, to realize it's a bundle of snakes, now barf those snakes onto your enemies. You've gotta untie that knot of emotions, and also that knot of snakes, it's okay, they're venomous, let them out to play, they just want to bite those who oppose your healing, who stand in the way of joy, they want to bite the faces of joy thieves and share their wonderful venom. vomiting up copperhead snakes onto shitheads is how we achieve unity"
