The folks obsessively posting about egg prices for the past few years have gone strangely quiet just as egg prices hit an all-time high.

This sounds like my experiment with the teeny tiny adorable lego-like blocks that you can make cute things with. $9 and one frustrating hour later, it went in the trash.

It's the puppy breath. There's some addictive pheromones in it that makes working impossible. I believe in your strength, but also sometimes you just need to roll around and chew on a dog.

Brilliant.

Despite recent setbacks, the LGBTQIA community remains resilient and determined to fight for equality. Let's stand together and support each other in these challenging times. #LGBTQIA #Equality #HumanRights

vaspider 1d ago I got a notification from the State Department at 8 PM Pacific that my passport was approved, and I was quietly thankful and stunned bc my legal gender in Oregon is listed as X, or undeclared, and that's what's on my passport. I'm pretty sure someone(s) worked late to get the X passports done today. I was already really grateful to whoever worked to get these processed on the last Friday before That Man gets back into office... and then I got a notification that my passport shipped at fucking midnight Pacific and whoever got that shit out the door so it couldn't be picked up on Monday and like, denied and shredded? They're my fucking hero. --- vaspider 22h ago I heard from a friend of 20+ years who works for the State Department who confirmed that, without specifics, that "all of the suppositions you have made here are true." So... yep. Passport folx at the State Department really did work incredibly long hours this week just... shoveling every passport out the door (and prioritizing the ones that might be A Problem come Monday) and yes, they did On Purpose make sure that all of them weren't just DONE but MAILED and in the hands of the USPS so that they can't be told to pull them back and deny/destroy them. This also means they got the OK for the mountains of overtime from the Biden admin to get that done. This is what I mean when I say the Good Work is often not glamorous and we have to prioritize things which actively and immediately better the lives of our siblings. The State Department worker still in the office last night at midnight Pacific time stuffing my passport into an Express Mail envelope and making sure that it was in the hands of USPS has done more liberatory work for the trans movement than 100 people endlessly auditing the language others use to describe their lives ever will. These next years are gonna be real hard. Find something tangible to do for yourself and others, however small, and do it as hard as you can.

@nflbluesky.bsky.social please let Tony Dungy go inside and warm up

You can do it! It’s surprisingly freeing AND scary!

Going to bed. Found the location of the extra stitch but not the cause, snuck a decrease in there, and and ready to sally forth tomorrow! 🧶🍿

Thanks for all the support and commiseration! ❤️

I am totally on this schedule. I have Found The Mistake, and hope to get back to that point before bedtime.

Selling Native children to anyone who wrote to them and sent in $10. American history. Repulsive.

I would gladly do whatever she asks. 🖤

Still unknitting. Trying to channel my inner Harlot and remind myself that I love knitting and this is part of that. 🧶🙄

Last night I realized the knitting had gone off the rails, and tinked my way back to sanity. At the end of the evening I realized it had once again gone off the rails.

The best thing I did was put it down and go to bed. Hopefully it won’t need a time out. 🧶

After several years and purchases and more stashing, I realized that (FOR ME) recycled sari silk yarn is the devil’s pubes - getting rid of it was SO FREEING.

I give you permission to let it go.

Your wig is giving me LIFE

Here’s Olive!

If you perform at the Trump inauguration or at any related events you are endorsing him. Full stop. And it’s no more defensible than if you performed for Putin or Orban or in the 1930s for the German chancellor. You can dress it up all you want but that’s what it is.

It would be an imperative to tell everyone complimenting me exactly what it’s called.

So far, Bluesky has been great for attracting fake followers!

What’s the preferred reporting path for “one post, nebulous caption, few followers, stock photo”?

Stunning! I’m working on this one now myself.
