I really love your yarn choice too!

Thanks!

Love these! Is there a pattern name or designer for them?

A large orange cat sits at the bottom step of a closed wooden staircase, peering around the corner to see what the humans and two dogs (not pictured) are doing.

A chunky orange cat is curled up on a couch with his head resting on his human’s thigh. He is making biscuits.

Otis here. I’ve been living with this human for a couple of weeks now and so far I’ve only let them hear my squeak and, more often, my dry little “Eck.” I’ve got 20 pounds behind my vocal cords but I only put a half ounce of effort into being loud.

Yep. Cat friends need it from time to time!

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Beautiful! I saved it to my favs in Ravelry.

Happy #Caturday from Otis.

Anyone else getting the sense that Trump is colluding with energy market robber barons to screw every last one of the rest of us? Anyone else starting to feel like the Second Iran War is a grift to enrich domestic and foreign billionaires at the expense of America's middle class?

🤨🤨

It’s cool how the people who control the US government right now just openly take it as a personal attack when the Pope says something like “God will not reward evil men”

Otis loves tummy times!

These lawmakers are despicable. Trans people are not the problem. The capitalists and these very lawmakers who are carrying water for them are the problem.

It’s the health version of prosperity gospel, where if you get sick it’s because of your personal failures.

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

BREAKING: Mass arrests under the Terrorism Act in Trafalgar Square, as hundreds defy the ban on Palestine Action.

The police are knowingly unlawfully arresting peaceful protestors for holding placards which say:

"I oppose genocide - I support Palestine Action"

Do Americans know that their Vice President was in Hungary campaigning for a Putin ally to be reelected, instead of in DC during a war in which Putin is helping Iran target Americans?

Rescued Otis is enjoying his first #Caturday with me in his forever home. Tummy time is his favorite!

A large orange cat is stretched out on his back while sleeping soundly.

Otis is happy to be safe in his forever home—day one.

Plus Iran now controls the Strait of Hormuz.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Thanks!

Would’ve been the best birthday present ever.

This is getting worse, faster, than any other event in my lifetime.

And:
-100% self-inflicted, by Trump.
-99% foreseeable, by everyone except Hegseth and Trump.

I understand that when it comes to knitting. I do like a challenge.

Fuck these criminals.

Oh my word, you’re brave. I’m working on a shawl with mosaic cables that has a similar effect but without the bobbins. I’ve just done one small intarsia project and that may end up being my only! So tangley!

A page from the book 1984

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

Go rogue, Pam. Release ALL the Epstein files.

What is that ugly lectern and how much taxpayer money did it cost?
