And then I threw wool rug yarn into the depleted dye pot to use up whatever is left in there! I won't get a true black, probably more like a purple when all is said and done, but can't let good dye go to waste when I will use yarn of pretty much any color eventually.

When I say "fashion is my hobby" this is one tiny part of what I mean. Years ago, my husband bought me a vintage fur coat and silk dressing gown from a local thrift store. Obviously someone had donated their fabulous relative's estate. The dressing gown (currently in my dye pot) is silk

Been working on crocheting produce bags. No idea why.. but this is what I need to do right now. I'm not great at reading patterns, so I've just been doing my own thing.

Already awakened by existential dread. Sending out volunteer-work-related emails at 330am. Anybody have a million dollars to spare for a nonprofit radio station? Sure would make my life less stressful. WRIRCampaign.org

Went out to eat last night at one of the city's most GF friendly restaurants. I had two bites of cheese (which I usually avoid bc dairy gives me a face rash and makes me bloat... but if you have a chance to try burrito, I feel you must) 30 minutes later I was in agony, felt like I got gluten.

Had an insurance salesman call me yesterday to try to sell me cheaper health insurance for my employees. I like saving money, so I listened. He said he could save me 50%. I was interested. I asked which insurance company. He said UNITED. I said NOPE. Had united for 7 years and a kid with t1d.

Shouldn't this be getting way more attention? Justice Sotomayor wrote "The administration [TRUMP] has the Supreme Court on speed dial"? A Sitting SCOTUS saying her colleagues are in violation of administering 'Blind Justice', their oaths & the Constitution? lawandcrime.com/supreme-cour...

Me: I want a new knitting or crochet pattern and ravelry is dead to me. *heads to etsy* Oh wait. Are they still selling the concentration camp merch? Not going to buy from here just to be safe. Ffs. Decided to design my own thing. I doubt I'll finish it, but that's not the point.

Managed to get the camping stuff from last weekend hung out, today. It would normally have been done as soon as I got home, but I was camping where invasive lantern flies are a problem. So I wanted to make sure I wasn't bringing any home, so I let my gear cook in my car all week. Not recommended

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

An odd side effect of giving up most social media is that I no longer take a million pictures. (Which is kind of terrible when I am doing volunteer work) but I have like no pictures of my fun weekend. 😅 just this picture of a mushroom covered tree and a blurry deer. 😂

In added sadness the local belly dance costume importer is closing up shop and retiring. So, Friday we went to her late night sale, and I bought a simple costume, beautiful belt, and a lower quality sword prop. So when I recover from camping, I get to practice balancing a sword on myself.

The highest court in our land has determined the government can deport human beings to countries not their own and without any legal review -- until at least such time as a court rules this unconstitutional. And, oh, the matter will be litigated for years. Welcome to the American gulag. It's here.

I have had to redo this crochet project 4 times, now because I have to pick up and work from the chain side halfway through. Despite counting my stitches, the 2nd half is always too narrow. To a comedic degree. I am assuming that my tension changes when working the other side, but I don't know WHY.

Chesterfield VAs response on FB to the news that ICE has taken 12 of our neighbors while they were at our court house has been atrocious. I lost so much faith in humans today. I no longer trust that any of my neighbors are safe. Sure, some of them were bots, but not all of them.

Trying to figure out dairy free, sugar free cold foam is not going fantastic, but it's going OK. Its a subpar alternative for sure, but I am drinking my cold brew coffee. The plan was to figure out the pina colada refresher from wawa last summer. Probably not going to succeed at that. But I tried.

Had a moment of joy today when shorts that didnt fit when I bought them, fit me now! I bought them from REI and gave myself permission to return them if they didnt fit by the end of the summer. REI's return policy is the best. (ordered 2 pairs, same size from the same company. 1 fit. 1 didn't)

Living my life w/o google is impossible because of business ownership. But I refuse to use google maps or shit like that anymore.

Oh! And a birkenstock sneakers update: They aren't broken in, yet- it pretty much is raining or is wet all the time in Richmond, rn. But I still chose to wear them to the protest, and zero foot pain. No blisters. No joint pain. Only complaint is I am terrified of getting them dirty.

For the people saying the weather dampened the bday parade of facism, we were in Richmond. We had the same weather. It was oppressively hot, especially in the thick of the crowd. Had to take aid from the aid stands twice for members of our party, and I almost passed out as well. Still stayed.

Also teen kid related: the younger one lives for music. He came to me the other day, and said "I found @thebandcake.bsky.social on bsky. They post the same stuff you do." I said #1 it never occurred to me to look for bands on bsky so thank you for that and #2 not surprised by that at all, but happy.

Having teenagers is amazing. One went to work today, and came home with collards and kale from a farmer's market that happens at their workplace. The other one can't drive, yet and could choose to ignore mom, but instead happily keeps me company on my errands and does all the heavy lifting for me.

Before we go to protests on Saturday, we should all make sure we know some songs to sing. Do you hear the people sing. America the Beautiful. The National anthem. Etc. Makes the optics better. Plus, we can pretend we are in a musical. Fun for everyone.

If you know any ICE agents, out them. Don't do business with them. Don't invite them to your bbq. Don't interact with them. Ice them and their families out of the community. They don't deserve the benefit of the community if they are going to kidnap people out of it.
